the subscription price of the
EW ERA will be reduced to $1 a year
ad'vancei, and $1.69 a year when not
of psi L Our reason for this big reduc-
ion in'price is that we wish, if possible,
*place our subscription list, entirely
upon a prepaid basis. A drop of one-
third in the price of a good newspaper
Ike the NEW FRA means a considei•-
able loss, at the outset, but we hope
:'to recover this by a good addition to
Otaral>;eady large subscription list.
We have also adopted what is tech -
ideally known as "the standard width"
of cili m % which makes our :paper
slightly different to what it was. But
;the introduction of new type, in:which
the •hTEW ERA this week appears,
.smaller than what we have been hither•-
o using, will enable :us to give as
Y�1ilGlli if not' more. news than hitherto.
., ;The special feature of the NEW ERA
FIs'the excellence of its home news.
only is considerable space devoted
'to•this department every week, but rio
„pains are, spared in order to procure
"information from all parts of the coun-
;i,ty.. In this special feature no paper
shall surpass us, and we purpose inak-
tng it more interesting than ever before.
We have aimed to produce a paper
•pure and elevating in its general tone,
and the fact that our, subscription list
•stands at a higher figure"`toduy- than
;ever before, is, we take it, an evidence
;that, to some extent at least, we have
;been successful. We are exceedingly
,:thankful to the friends who, in the past,
have stood by us, and especially so to
`the excellent staff of correspondents'
whose weekly contributions have helped
to make the NEw ERA a welcome vis-
itor everywhere. We confidently ask
the continued support of all. A little
individual effort on the part, of our
readers would materially increase the
usefulness of the paper. If you think
.1t is worthypf 'commendation, do not
be afraid to say so. Ask your neighbor
.to subscribe if he does not already
take it, and you can assure hire that
no better value for the money can be
secured.
All arrearages up to the end of the
present year will be collected at the
rate of $1.50 a year. Subscribers who
•
ha • ve paid into any part of next year,
will get credit for the same, and may
simply pay sufficient to carry it out to
'tZieend of tite year, at the $1 rate. To
all new subscribers we offer the balance
;."of this year free. That' is, for $1 cash,
we will send the NEW ERA from this
t te. td the 31st of Dec. 1892.
We night also say that the hand-
some new type we use this week, is the
celebrated Scotch -metal hard face,frorn
the, well-known , foundry of Miller &
Richard,. and this makes the second
outfit of new type in which the NEW
ERA has appeared since coming under
its present management:

Tolb4 ABSTINANCE MEETINGS. -On
Sunday )afternoon and evening, and
Monday and Tuesday evening, Mrs
Ower, Hitchcox, of Paris, delivered ad -
Tresses in favor of total abstinance in
the town hall, herr. On each occasion
she had large audiences, and it would
have been no difficulty to continue the
interest for a week. Total abstinence
16, by some, considered to be a thread-
bare subject, but thein are so many

what shonld be always a live subject,
tier addressee were in the nature of an
appeal to practice self-denial for the
good of the community,, as , well as
for the individual and were intersper-
sed withlllustratjona taken from real
life. Persons Who went oto the meet-
inge• prejudiced againt lady lecturers,
were convinced of her marked ability,
and freer* admitted the good she. was
doing. : er earnestness and eloquence
certainly became infectious, for it mov-
ed her audience as they have not been
moved for some time, and the proof of
this is seen hi the fact that considerably
over one hundred persons signed the
pledge, Of course same of these were
persons who are not usually re arded
as intemperate, but were "setting
good exainple to others," but numbers
of those who did sign are persons that
total abstinence will do good to, and it
is hoped that not only the ladies of the
W.C.T.U., under whose auspices Mrs
Hitchcox came, but all else who desire
to establish total abstinence principles,
will use personal efforts in helping these
persons to live up to their pledge. The
different choirs in town helped to make
the meetings interesting. The services
throughout were decidedly good. Mrs
Hitchco;c'is a member of the Episcopal
dhurch, and believes in reaching,if pos-
sible, all denominations and classes.'`

circuit were held last Sabbath at Sun-
shine. The service was well attended,
the pastor, Rev J. H. Dyke, preached
a clear and forcible sermon from John

of Jesus. The love feast was a time of
refreshing. Business meeting was
held at Belgrave, on Monday, Nov 2nd,
peace and harmony prevailed, the us-
ual routine business was transacted,
when the board adjourned to meet,
first Monday in December.
The quarterly meeting of the Varna
Circuit Methodist church was held last
Sunday, at Varna. The congregation
was large, and a very blessed tine was
spent in the lovefeast and fellowship
meeting, The business meeting was
held at the same place on Monday at

pleasant one, with finances well up.

The quarterly services of the Holmes-
ville Methodist church were held on
Sunday last, not only were a large
number present, from the various ap-
pointments and participated in the
sacramental services, but the Mas-
ter's presence was graciously mani-
fest in the fellowship meeting, where-
in many testified of the power of God
to "save to the very uttermost." At
the meeting of the quarterly hoard it
was found that the finances were con-
siderably in advance of last year. and
the church in a very healthy state
generally.
The quarterly meeting service held
in the Methodist Church, Londesboro,
last Sunday morning, was largely at-
tended. The Rev. J. Ferguson preach-
ed a most able and eloquent sermon
from 1 Peter 1-xix, "The most precious
blood of Christ." The love feast follow-
ed, and many felt the presence of the
Holy�Ghost while speaking of the love
of God in their soul, after which about
one hundred partook of the sacrament
of the Lord's supper. The affairs of the
circuit are in a prosperous and happy
condition.

The business meeting of the Kippen
Quarterly. Board, Methodist Church,
was held on Monday last. The ffnan-
tial interests of the church, are well up,
excepting one appointment, and an if -
fort is to be made to bring it up during
present month. The board increased
the,salary of the pastor, Rev H. Irvine,
to $700 ; the circuit to pay the super-
anuation money, Mr Irvine has the
hardest circuit to work on Goderich
District, as it involves a drive of• 32
miles every alternate Sunday to do his
work, The Board does itself justice
when it tries to help him financially.
Only one new steward was elected, Mr
Geo Uren, for Chiselhurst, in place of
John. Shepherd. The Board felt sorry
to lose Mr Shepherd, as he has proved
a most successful steward. He gave
pressing business engagements as a
reason for declining re-election.
One of the most largely attended
and keenly interested fellowship meet-
ings ever held in connection with Rat-
tenbury Street Methodist Church, was
that which preceded the morning ser-
vice last Sabbath. The time was all
utilized to the fullest extent; after the
usual preaching service, sacrament was
administered to a very large number.
At the meeting of the official board, on
Tuesday, the following persons were
elected as stewards: -Messrs Lough,
Doherty, Stevens, W. Cantelon, Booth,

was elected to fill the place vacated by
the late E. Corbett; the secretary and
chairman were instructed to forward
a letter of condolence to Mrs Corbett.
Mrs F. Jackson, who has for a consider-
able time discharged most efficiently
the duties of organist, tendered her
resignation, to take effect at the end

gether likely that she will be succeeded
by a member of the choir, well qualified
for the position. Other matters that
were brought before the board were
left over for future consideration.

night as Mr. W. Rattenburywaace n-
ing from Bayfield With four ladies in
his cab, he was met by Mr. J Ashton,
on his way to Varna, just as, the form,
er was entering the village, It being
very dark, one could not see the other,
and Ashton drove his horse between
Rattenbury's, parting his team and
breaking the pole of the cab, and break-
ing Ashton's. buggy shaft, It was done
so quick that no one had time to get
scared, and fortunately no ene was
hurt. When will our village fathers
put their heads together and_ get some
lamps araitnd our streets; this would
not have happened had there been some
lights around.

Goderich.
FIRE. On Tuesday morning, about
2.45, fire was discovered in the house
occupied by Prof. R. J. K. Gore, op-
posite Mr 111. C. Cameron's. The alarm
was immediately given, but it was some
time before the hose was laid and in
working order, then the fire had gained
such headway that one was powerless,
and the second was laid, and both
had the fire under control in a short
time, but not before the house, which
was a pine cottage, with outbuildings
and part of the fence were almost burnt
to the ground. Scarcely, anything was
saved, but we hear the loss was nearly
covered by insurance., We also hear
that the cause is supposed to be incen-
diarism, and 5500 is offered as a reward
for the guilty party or parties. If this
is the cause, we hope they, he she,
may be caught.
NOTES. -Mr R. Gauley, of Clinton,
was visiting in town this week. H.W.
C. Myer, Q. C., Wingham, accompan-
ied by his daughter. was visiting here
this week. Mrs John Tees, of Culross,
has been visiting friends in this neigh-
borhood for the past few weeks. The
Sophie sailed on Wednesday morning
for French River, to load lumber for
Cleveland; this is her last trip this sea-
son. We learn that Mr and Mrs E.
Dalliffe, (nee Miss R. Noble, formerly
of this town) who were living in Co-
lumbus, Ohio, have removed to Cincin-
nati, in the same State. The many
friends of Mrs John Reid will regret to
learn that she had her arm severely
scalded during the week. The steam
barge, Africa, left this port for King-
ston with 5,000 barrels of salt. The
tow barge Bavaria, from lake Erie,with
over 700 tons of coal, ran ashore while
endeavoring to make the harbor on
Saturday morning during the storm;
she is now being lightened and will
probably be released in a few days.
The re -opening of the North St. Me-
thodist Church will take place next
Sunday; Conductor Snider will preach

al Templars of this town carry on Gos-
pel Temperance meetings in the Tem-

way to the neighboring woods and
swamps, gun in hand, but towards ev-
ening, they wend their weary way
back,lstill carrying only their guns to
show they are sportsmen. There cer-
tainly are a few exceptions, notably
Messrs Coad and Caldwell, who rarely
come back without a goose (well of
course) or some other such large game.

HALLOWE'EN. - Hallowe'en passed
off here with the usual silly pranks
being played. Some of these may be
harmless enough, but others are.not,
and should be put a stop to; as far as
I can learn there is no more license to
do harm on the last night of October
than on any other night of the year.
On Saturday night last, a number of
gates were carried away, thus expos-
ing gardens, lawns and expensive
shrubbery to the voracious appetites
and piercing feet of the village cows,
which are always prowling around
looking for such opportunities,
Y. P. M. I. A. -The first meeting of
the Y. P. M. I. Association of Hensall
was held in the basement of the Pres-
byterian church, on Monday evening
last,and was well attended. The Young
People's Society of ChristianEndeavor,.
of the Presbyterian church, and the
Epworth League of Christian En-
deavor, of the Methodist church, have
each withdrawn their meetings on the
1st and 3rd Mondays of each month,
in order to attend these meetings,
which in past seasons have been at-
tended with much benefit and pleas-
ure, and have drawn out the talent of
some of the young men and women.

in company with some gentleman from
Exeter, spent some time in the vicinity
of Lake Smith and Grand Bend on a
