nomination for one school trustee, for
St. James' Ward, will be held in the
Council Chamber, next Monday morn-
ing, to overcome the informality allud-
ed to last week. In case an election is
necessary, it will be held a week later.
Mr McGarva is the retiring trustee,
and being a good member of the board,
will likely be re-elected without oppo-
sition. ,
THE SICK.—Medical men say that
they never knew so much sickness to
prevail as at the present time. For-
tunateVindeed, is the family that is
exempt, and few there are who are
thus favored. Among the many laid
up are Mrs Searle, Mrs S. Davis, Mrs
E. Dirtsley, Mr and Mrs G. Swinbank,
Mrs McAllister, Jas. Scott, jr.,W. Craig
and many others. In some instances
the illness is so severe that slight hopes
are entertained.
„..- 1VIARORIAGE.—The R. C. church was
the scene of a pleasant event on Tues-
day morning, when Mr John J. Kelly,
of Detroit, la former resident of Clin-
ton) was married to Miss Kate -Rey-
nolds, eldest daughter of Mr Dominick
Reynolds, of Hullett. Father West
performed the ceremony, the bride be-
ing supported by her sister, while a
brother of Mr Kelly's officiated as
, groomsman. After a wedding dinner
.at the residence of the bride's parents,
the happy party left for their future
home in Detroit. --
' FINED.—A few days since Mr Pais-
ley, License Inspector, laid informa-
tion against Mr john Kelly, of Blyth,
for selling liquor in prohibited hours.
The case was fried hefdire-Messrs Steep
and McGarva,and at the request of the
Inspector, adjourned; it was subse-
quently adjourned twice, and on an-
other adjournment being asked . for,
• the defendant said "I may as well ad-
mit an offence and be fined, for if it is
adjourned much more it will cost me
that anyway," A fine was, therefore,
entered against him.
QUITE A LAI:K.—On Tuesday evening
last several young ladies and gentle-
men drove to Seaforth, and on their
homeward trip, when only a short dis-
tance out of Seaforth, they were upset
into the ditch, so it is said, by turning
out too far for a passing rig. The
horses got away, and there was evi-
dently no alternative but to hoof it
home. This was a steep undertaking,
particularly for the ladies, and creeat-
ed some sport for the young men, who
felt like baleen too. The horses coining
home alone induced their owner to go
back and see what had happened, and
he met the walkers down near Staple-
ton.
SONS OF ENGLAND.—The officers of
Sheffield Lodge S. 0. E. was duly in-
stalled on Thursday 7th inst., by the

A HORSE GABE. john Mooney
against TJrial Shipman.—The following
case, in which a well known Clintonian
was concerned, was decided at London
last week. The plaintiff is an Ontario
horse buyer and the defendant a coal
dealer and stock farm owner in De-
troit. Mooney bought ten or fifteen
two-year-old fillies for Shipman, but
the latter refused to takd them, be-
cause the United States Government
would not admit them free of duty.
They were for breeding purposes and
were registered in the stud book pub-
lished at Goderich, which was not one
of the two Canadian stud books recog-
nized in the United States. The whole
case rested on the question whether
• Mooney had agreed to deliver the hors-
• es free of duty.
FARMERS' INSTITUTE,—The Farmers'
Institute for West Huron will hold
meetings in Clinton, on the 22nd and
23rd of January. The Farmers' Inst-
itute for South Huron will hold meet-
ings at Kippen and Hensall on the 21st
and 22nd respectively. At each of
these institates practical addresses will
be delivered by some of the Professors
in the Ontario Agricultural College,
and others, on topics that are of inter-
est to the 'farming community, and as
all the meetings are free, they should
be latgeiy attended. It has been said
that the Meetings held in Huron in the
past, have been mbre slimly attended
than those held in any other part of
the Province, and thisindfeates a lack
of interest that shonld not prevail
Among a body of men ao intelligent •
•And progressive.

Co. close up their business here in a
few daYs: their manager, Mr Maddock,
has make himself a useful member of
society while here, he being an active
and talented church worker, and will
be nilesed in town. The Expositor
says:—"Messrs Jackson Pros verygen-
erously ivesented the Fire Brigade
with a cheque for. $20 in recognition of
their services in saving their stook on
this occasion of the recent fire." The
British .American, of Chicago, says:—
"Mr John Craib, of 4.833 Berkley ave.
nue, has been confined to his bed for
the last nine weeks; we are pleased to
state that he is now convalescent."
Mr G. F. Oakes has secured accommo-
dation in the market building as a

got slightly hurt at a toboggan' slide
last week. Mr Akam has gone a visit
to friends near Berlin. Jackson Bros.,

ing to the late fire, had one of the larg-
est, if not the largest day's' business
ever done by any firm in the county,

borhood of $1,000. Our esteemed friend,
Mr McLean, of theExpositor, lExositor, has been
in bed for several daysbyeevere illness,
but is now able to be around again, we
are pleased to say; illness cometh up-
on the just as well as the unjust. Sig-
nalman Dunford, of the 0, T. R., has
been off for a week laid up with the
grippe; J. Slowman relieved him and
J. McClarherty acted as porter. Rev.
A. F. Tully, of Mitchell, the respected
and popular pastor of the Presbyterian
Church, was a caller at the NEW ERA
office on Monday. Mr W. H. Steep,
(son of Mr Henry Steep, Clinton) who
has been living in Dakota for about
two years, has sold out and removed

to reside, in fmture. Mr John Beesley,
of Moosejaw, is here on a visit to his
brother; he is accompanied by his
daughter, who will remain here for
sometime. The intended lecture of Eli
Perkins here, has been withdrawn.
People sometimes ask how it is that
the townhall is given free for conven-
tions or meetings of like nature ; the
reason is that the town council years
ago decided that for any representive
meeting, whereat persons from differ-
ent parts of the county gathered, and
the object was not money-Inaking, the
use of the hall should be given free.

The 15th annual meeting of the Wo-
man's Foreign Missionary Society, was
held in the lecture room of Willis Pres-
byterian Church, on Wednesday; rep-
resentatives were also present from
both Methodist Churches. The annual
report showed that the Society was
making steady progress, both numeri-
cally and financially; the attendance
has also been very good during the y4ar.
There are four Societies doing mission
work in the church here, viz:— The
Woman's Auxiliary, Mission Band,
Mrs. Coats' class, and the Boy's Mission
Band. The Auxiliary andMissionBand
help the foreign stork, Mrs.Coats' class
help the French work, and the Boy's
band send their funds to the northwest.
The Auxiliary raised this year the sum
of $200, and the Band $81, so there was
raised for Zenana work during the year
just closed, the sum of $281. The Boy's
band have raised over $10 for home
work. After a short business meeting
the following program was rendered:
Opening exercises, Singing, What a

win gave a splendid reading entitled,
"His helpmate," and some verses call-

"ROLLING IN WEALTFI". —The other
morning while a gentleman was pur-
chasing a ticket at the station, he drop-
ped a $10 note on the floor from a roll
of bills; he must have been thinking he
Was going tn extract teeth and that he
had liold of a large one. The note was
picked up in the waiting room by Mr
Reynolds, bus driver, who handed it to
the station agent. The money was
subgequktly handed to the dentist,
who very gratefully handed over $1 to'
Mr Reynolds. The chances are that if•
the laser had been In Chicago or some
like plact his $10 would have gone up
in v...ike
