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: ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS.

Mr Enos Hull's sale on Wednesday was well attended, and the bidding was spirited, consequently everything sold at good prices. Mr T. M.

CHATHAM BUSINESS COLLEGE -Else- where in this ssue will be found an ad- vertisement of the Chathan Business ege,, an i stitution that has been attended by a number of young men from this vicinity, and who speak highly of its advantages. 7.., MARRIAGE. -A very interesting and happy event took place on Wednesday, ,0ov 4th, on which date Mr J. T. Clark and Miss Sadie Gregg were joined in 4anktrimolay, at the residence of the 'rifle's mother, in Pickering, Ont, the Rev Mr Perrin, of that place, perform- ing the ceremony. Mr Clark has of Jate been connected with the editorial staff of the Toronto World. The bride is well known here, being the sister of Airs .1". Jackson, jr. 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 tsyu1-stil'ring and. dee l * pathetic tenni cuinataneos, associated with the free indulgelst'e O ill . teams, that a gi s keIlijie ra itcli.eoxno f ty In 'arousing latent interest its 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.'` CHAS. CLUTHE, INVENTOR AND PATENTEE of TnussEs, and appli- anees for Club -feet, Spinal • Curvature, Paralysis, Weak Legs, Bow Legs, &c., will visit London (Grigg House) on Saturday November, the 7th, (seventh).

Quarterly Meeting Services. The regular religious quarterly ser- vice of the Hensall circuit Methodist church was held at the Bethesda appointment, on Sunday, November lst. Lovefeast was held at 10 a.m., and preaching at 11 by the pastor, Rev H. J. Fair, followed by the administra- tion of the sacrament of the Lord's Supper. Quarterly business meeting will be held in Hensall, on Saturday, 7th inst. The quarterly services of Belgrave 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 14 and 31, on the character and courage 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 2 o'clock. The meeting was a very pleasant one, with finances well up. The stewards for the coming year are the following brethren:-Brucefleld, Geo Brock and Joseph Robinson, and Jas McClynnont recording steward. Goshen church, J T Keys and C John- ston. Varna, Jas McClymont and Win Rathwell. 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 Sacramental service in Ontario St. Church, on Sunday morning last, was rt Syeason of• great interest.TMI • T. Y ast hegan at halt past o 40441 an hour ony and sacred song wed oanhr Other and it waft Kelt to a time doll in- blessing, The Sacra, ment of Lord's Super followed the ch u nal 'preaiiug service, .and a large number partook • of• ,It.

'S'Viltse, W. Elcoat, T, Townsend, and James Holland. 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, F. Hodgens and H. B. Chant. A meet- ing of the Trustee board was held the same eveniug, when Mr A. O. Pattison 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 Of her present engagement; it is alto- 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. Tuckersrnith. COUNCIL, -The council met at Bruce - field, on Nov. 2nd, at 9 a.in.; members all present.

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 both morning and evening. The Roy- al Templars of this town carry on Gos- pel Temperance meetings in the Tem- perance Mall, on Sunday.

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.
