MONTED To TOWN—MF Wm Shannon, • ef Inglewood, who has taken an inter- est in the electric light business, has moved his family here, having rented the house of Mr Jas Turnbull. Prior • to leaving Inglewood Mr Shannon was the recipient of a gold watch at the .haeds of his friends, Mrs Shannon got •a saver fruit dish, Miss Shannon a silver celery dish, and Mr Bert Shan- non a Bible, which shows that the fani- ily were held in very high egteem: — How Time PLIES.—ihirty years ago 'list Friday a party of young men left Clinton for the *gold fields of Cariboo, B.

ENGLISH BARLEY.—Mr • Geo Middle- ton, of Goderich township, takes ex- eeption to our paragraph in last week's issue ooncerrung English barley, at least so far as he is concerned. He has found that it will grow much bet- ter than the ordinary barley, is superior forfeeding purposes, and will sell for at least three- cents a bushel more than the other. He admits, however, that he cannot get it up to the required standard of weight for the English market, • -AWFUL CALAMITY.—A correspond- ent at Roland, Man., sends the follow- ing account of a tragedy whereby the home of a former Huronite was blast- ed. He says:—A terrible shooting accident happened here on Thursday, March 31st, by which Bertie, youngest son of John Jordan, was instantly kill- ed. The eldest boy, Fremont, seeing the gun standing in the corner behind the door, picked it up and held it on a levei-Wittetlerthild's-head; WWI fired it off, :resulting in the above being killed instantly. COmP' LEKENTARY. — The Egmond- ville correspondent of the Expositor *hos refers to a well-known Clintonian: —"The social on Tuesday evening • proved, as anticipated, a very pleasant affair, and Mr Oakes and his class part- ed for the present, under favorable auspices, and should time in his rounds reunite them we predict even greater success for the future, as Mr Oakes is a thoroughly efficient teacher, having the happy faculty of readily imparting knowledge, and the almost as neces- sary one of keeping the best of order and retaining attention." MORE THAN PATRIARCHAL. —In the Brucefield cemetery are a couple of monuments bearing these inscriptions: "James McDonald., aged 102 years," "Catharine McDonald, aged 102 years." The age to which these persons (well- known Huronites) lived was exception- al in itself, but behind this were a few facts that make their life a very excep- tional one. Mr McDonald was only 18 • years of age when he was married, his wife being 16, and they enjoyed 84 years of unbroken wedded bliss. We tueation if a period of continuous mar- ried life similar to this can be found in America. Mr McDonald died two years before his wife. Mr James Ross, a geandson, still resides in this town.

Tay- lor will be kept in Perth avenue school until the close of the term, as the at- tendance has suddenly ran up from 80 to 130, a fact whiph some could not understand. The other, day, while Mrs A. Gorrell was house cleaning, she met with a painful accident; a raised win- dow sash fell on her hand, cutting some of her fingers. Mr A. 0. Pattison recently invested his surplus cash in a fine driver, and every day he takes it out for exercise; the other morning, while bringing it out, it became un- manageable and almost trampled him in the mud. The many personal friends of Conductor Snider, while glad to hear of his progress, will be sorry to know that he will in a few days leave his run on the L.,H.&B. and remove to Toronto, from which city he will run out henceforth. Mr David Cantelon, jr., has taken the position of assistant ex- press agent here. Mrs O'Neil, Orange street, is on the sick list.

The new front placed in the store of Gilroy & Wiseman has made a very decided improvement there. Messrs Taylor & Sons are improving the internal ar- rangements, of their store. The post office will only be open to -day the usu- al holiday hours. The Millinery Op• eniugs in the different stores, on Sat- urday night last, were attended by large crowds of sight -seers, notwith- standing the opposition of Dame Na- ture to spring millinery; anclAt is safe to say that all went away from the re- spective stores much pleased at the enterprise displayed by all merchants in securing the very latest novelties in this branch of trade. Mr Henry Mar- shall returned from his trip to the old country last week. The town butch- ers make their usual display. of Easter Ineats to -day. District Lodge No. 24. 1. 0. G.

STOCK NOTES. —Mr James Snell, Hullett, known as one of the best stock -raisers in the west, has sold hls atallion, "Charles McKnight," to Messrs Conley & Murray, of Kerikora, for the sum $600; this horse is ope of the best ever raised in Ontario, having taken more first prizes than any horse of the same age in the county, his weight when sold was 1850 pounds, and he will not be three years old Until the fourth of September next; those* men have shown good judg- ment in buying such a horse. The evening that l‘fr Snell disposed of this Stallion, he got another, his imported mare dropping a fine horse colt. Mr Snell also sold a few days since, a fine two-year old Durham heifer, to Mr Jas Webster, of the 131h con.. Hullett. TTIE COLLECTOR OF CUSTOMS.—When we last week announced that Mr W. T. Whitley; of the News Record, would likely be the successful applicant for the position of Cusiom's collector, we had reason to believe that we would . not be far out in our calculations, and the fact that he is the successful candi- date, and has received the appoint- melet, shows that NEW ERA forecasts are generally accurate. We congra- tulate Mr Whitely on his appointment, aud have no reason to think but that the duties will be satisfactorily per- formed. There arepeople in this world who think and say that the NEW ERA'S kindly- reference to its opponent could only have been given from selfish mo- tives, in other words, with the design to see Mr. Whitely out of the way. Well, it is scarcely necessary to say we are not built that way, for it does not worry in; whether Mr Whitely stays in lluSines8 or goes out. He may remain an editor and be Custom's officer still, for all that we know. The NEW Elia has never acted in any other way than honorably tcrwards its bitterest oppo- nentsand it is so seldom that news. 1)413er men get a tithe of what they are entitled to from the "powers that be" that What the occasion does present it- self for congratulations, improper Mo- tives shoUld not be imputed. TAKE STOCK.—Jas Fair sold sixty- six head of very fine cattle at 54 cents per lb. last week. The way Mr Fair manages his farm and stock would well be worth the investigation of any farmer in Huron or Canada. Every- thing he undertakes he does thorough- ly and well. Hence his success as far- mer, merchant and citizen.—Clinton cor. Signal. BE CAREFUL—GO SLOW.—April smiles and weeps by turns, and is as fickle as a girl with two beaus. She is warm the one day and cool the next. The sensible man and woman as well will pay no attention to her vagaries. The robins may be deceived, the sap may run and the trees may bud, but the safest course for us is to refuse to shed our warm clothing until she at least ha run her course. ELL THOUGHT OF. —Captain D. C. Moore (son of Mr E. Moore) of theSal- vation Army at London, recently got orders from headquarters to farewell there, but he was so highly thought of by the people of that place that a peti- tion asking him to sta.y v as forward- ed to headquarters, and vas signed by ministers, store -keepers„ aborers, and all classes and one M.
