DEATH OF A PIONEER -We are call- ed upon this week to record the death of one of the most highly respected residents of this section, and one who enjoyed to the fullest extent the con- fidence, good will and esteem of all, without exception. We refer to Mr Thos Hoare, of the 2nd con. of East Wawanosh, who passed away on Fri- day evening, after a short illness. De- cesed had always enjoyed good health, until a few months ago, when he suf- fered an attack of grip; he seemed to recover, but the effects on his system were too much to stand, and he passed from grace to glory at the age of 72 years. Born in Kent, England, he emigrated to this country when quite young and remained in Toronto for about a year, after which he located in the village of Acton, and worked at his trade of carpenter and waggon maker for about eight years. In 1856 he moved west, having previously pur- chased from the crown the land on which he has since resided. For fully 50 years he has been closely identified. with the Methodist church as a class - leader and S. S. teacher, being partic- ularly well versed in doctrine and scripture, his first religious training having been received from Rev. M. Willoughby,one of the pioneers of i Methodism n this country. His fun- eral took place on Monday last, service being held in the Methodist church here, and a very large nhmber follow- ed the remains to Westfield cemetery for interment. His wife, three sons. arid seven daughters survive him. Two of his sons—George and Cornelius — reside near Clinton; four of the daughters are married, being Mrs J. Harrison, Belgrave; Mrs A. Carr, Westfield,' Mrs Geo Tyndall, Chatham; and Mrs Chapman, ChMwhack, B. C. In politics Mr Hoare was a Liberal. , Hill's Green. NOTES.—Mr Albert Tiffin preaches in the Methodist Church nekt Sunday evening, this mill likely be his last service here, as he expects to enter the work of the ministry in July. 61110MINEN CLI NTON Our excuse for selling B Clothing is that we think th it's just a little better for the children than can be found in any other store.

W. G. Glen's loss on houtrehold effects and stock was $1,700; insurance $1,200 in the Wellington Mutual. J. Ward's loss, $1,000; fully covered by insurance in the Phoenix. FOOTBALL.—A largo crowd assembled on Saturday to witness the seeond match between Galt and Seaforth clubs. The day was wet, and as a re- sult the general play was not up to the standard. In the first half Smith scored two goals for Seaforth, but after that the Galt backs watched him more carefully: Galt scored four goals to two, their back feeding the forwards well with the ball throughout the game. Individually Seaforth put up the better game, but having lost some df their players by removal, necessitated changes in their positions. which rob- bed them Of their old-time combina- tions and team play. Galt is a much heavier team than the Hurons, which told in their favor playipg on wet and slippery rA grounds. It ned consider- ably during the progr, of the game. KILLED ON THE Roand fatal accident occur near Sea- giqvery sad forth on Monday afterncidissIffr Wm. Sproat was out driving with a your* horse in a road cart. When about three miles from town it is supposed blo horse' got frightened at something on the road and bolted suddenly to the side: striking the wheel of the cart against a post of the fence. Mr Sproat was thrown off by the concussion and instantly killed, striking his mouth on the top of one of the fence posts. He was found soon afterwards on the roadside quite dead. The remains were taken to his house in the town during the day. Mr Sproat was one of the pioneer settlers of Huron, having re- tired from his farm in Tuckersmith a couple of years ago and taken up his i residence n Seaforth. He was an elder of the Presbyterian church, and was one of the most highly respected mem- bers of the community. He was be- tween 60 and 70years of age, and leaves a widow and large family, all of whom, with the exception of the youngest daught er, are residents of Manitoba. His saa death has cast a gloom over this place. 50 cents in advance will pay for the CLINTON NEW ERA for the balance of this year. _Nile NOTES.—This must be a prosperous community, three farmers within two miles have their barns raised 'ready for stone foundations. Rev. E. Fear and Mr H. Girvin represented the Nile circuit at the District meeting at Clinton last week. We are pleased to see Mr W. Morrow behind the counter again after his recent severe illness; we are also glad to note that Mrs W. G. May and Messrs J. Grummet and J. J. Tiffin are recovering from their late serious illness. Rev E. A. Fear, of Nile, and Rev A. Potter, of Dungan- --nonichanged-pulpits-lastSun. A. Kirkpatrick believes that te can get along better in double than in single harness, so he brought home a mate last week; we hope that neither will kick over the traces, but that they may jog along harmoniously through the journey of life. Constance. ACCIDENT.—On Saturday last as Mrs Wm. Cook and daughter were return- ing from Seaforth, and when opposite the residence of Mr Wm. Fowler, on the Huron road, the horse took fright and ran away, throwing the occupants out. Miss Cook received a bad cut on the face; her mother, however, was more fortunate, as she escaped bodily injury, but was confined to her bed for a few days from the shock which her nervous system received. NOTES.—Miss Ella Williams left here last week to pay a visit to her parents, who reside at Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. Miss Lizzie Clark left Monday last to visit friends in Cleveland, Ohio, and the result is one of our young men wears a far away look. Mrs Cooper is at present visiting her two sons, who reside in Cleveland. It is currently reported that one of our bachelors has a bad attack of the matrimonial fever, and to counteract the effects of the previous apark8 spent a few days last week at Bayfield. Wm.

ENTERTAINMENT. — The Epworth League is congratulating itself on pert - poising its entertainthent, the evening of the Queen's birthday was anything but favorable, the rain, wind, and dark- ness conspiring to render night driving very unpleasant; the League holds its entertainment on Monday evening next, at 8 p.m.', Revs. J.

Newton Officiated at the marriage •of Mr Wm Mose, of Brussels, formerly engaged in Thos Cameron's harness shop, and a young lady of the same town.' After the interesting ceremony the newly wed- ded couple proceeded to visit Mr Mose's friends in Goderich township. CsaNstEas-It is reported that Mr Clark, of Seaforth, son-in-law of Mr John Biggar, has taken the centract to run the stage between that town • and Bayfield, his duties to begin on July 1st. This necessitates his moving here, and we believe he will occupy the house lately vacated by Mr James •Pollock, By the contract a team must be driven, which will, no doubt, be a big improvement, while expecting a man who will fulfil his part faithfully and satisfactorily, we much regret the loss of Mr Beattie. AsairvEasawv. — Anniversary Ser- vices in connection with St Andrew's church, Bayfleld, will be held on Sun- day and Monday, June 5th and Oth. Sermons will be preached on Sunday by Rev A. McLean, of Blyth. On Monclay.evening the tea meeting will be held in the town hall, when the following Rev gentlemen are expected to be present and deliver addresses, viz, Revs A. McLean, Blyth; J. A. Anderson, B. A., Goderich; J. A. Mc- Donald, Varna; A. Henderson, M. A., Atwood; and F. G. Newton, Bayfield. A union choir from Goderich will fur- nish excellent music. SHUT THEM nr.—Talk about beauti- fying the town, but so long as a herd of from twenty to thirty cattle can be seen on the square, as 'your correspond- ent did last week, there would be very little use in private citizensattempting it. Last year the geese were the pest, and it was said that the reason they were left alone was because "the young fellows" were afraid of rousing up the ire of village matrons. Fortun- ately the council this year (the popular reeve excepted) is composed of men who are no longer- afraid of broom - handles and such warlike weapons. SIGNS DE THE TIMES.—Thongh the weather so far has been anything but encouraging for the 'proprietors of the different summer hotels, yet the ap- plications for apartments has, happily, been the very opposite. The very obliging and enterprising proprietor of the River Hotel, Mr Jas Pollock, has been sparing no pains in making his house attractive and commodious. The rooms have been tastefully refitted and everything has a look of freshness and neatness about it. We hope he will have even a greater success than his predecessor, Mr J. E. Swarts. The Commercial Hotel, which is the popu- lar rendezvous for American. visitors, has received numerous letters of in- quiry of late. Among others was one from a member of &large society in the city of New York, fifty of whose mem- bers desired hotel cards and other in- formation. Mrs Bailie is very much thought of by the visitors on account f—the—very---thoughtful manner iri which she looks after the every, want of her guests. If the weather be at all favorable we may expect a larva num- ber at the favorite summerresort this season. NOTES.—Master Fred Gemeinhardt accidently slipped into the river from a skiff on the 24th, but the skilful use of his projiellors soon put him out of danger. A sister of Mrs Geo King, from Londesboro, was visiting her on the 24th. There is a deep wash-out at ,the north end of the bridge, which should be attended to at once. The first picnic party of the season was in town on Monday last. We are inform- ed that Mr Wm Fowlie, sr., has pur- chased the farm on the Goderieh road, belonging to Mr Jas McLeod. Mr Dan Wilson returned from Port Arthur last week. The fish caught at present quite exceed the demand. Mr James Sterling has returned from Cleveland, where he has been engaged for some time. Rev Mr Hodgens and wife, of Seaforth, were in town last week. Court of Revision was held in the town hall on Thursday. Mr John New- combe was busy this week replacing dead trees round town and looking after them generally; more work for you yet, &lei. Mr Jas Cowan won't be behind the rest in ornamenting his premises and trees flourish wonderfully well under his care; last week he was planting some little cedars, now they have become "a thing of beauty and a joy' forever." Mrs Yes McDonald, of Goderich, formerly of town, was down visiting friends here on Sunday. Mr John Davidson, who was fishing up at the Ducks returned home last week; magnet here is evidently stronger than even the north pole. The esteem in which Mrs John Galbraith was held was shown by the large number Who followed her remains to the cenietery on Thursday last.

Everybody is rush- ing gardening at present. Dr. Elliott has returned 'home. Rev. Mr Fergu- son, of Londesboro,preached a very mi excellent ser on n the Methodist church here last Sabbath afternoon. Mr. John Snider is improving his Shop by a coat of paint; it would nast hurt some more ot our village shop keepers to follow in this line, as it would make people thinkthat we werenot dead yet. DEATH OF A CANADIAN IN THE WEST.—The many old friends of Mr. James Grey, second youngest so, ( of Mrs Agnes Gray, of the Mill ;ad, Tuckersmith, will be both su eAsed and pained to learn °flits-death,„Which occurred at Stockton, Cal. a fest,' days since.

He never thoroughly recovered from the effects of this. During the last few years he has been conducting the short hand department of the Sandusky (Ohio) Business College. The damp 'weather of last winter forc- ed him into amore temperate climate, and he was on his way from Albu- querque: New Mexico, to Sacramento, California, when he was taken with a second stroke of the same trouble on the train at Stockton, Cal. His bro- ther, Robert Gray, of Riverside, Cal., was telegra.phed for and reached him before he died, but on the sixth day he breathed his last. His remains were buried in the Rural Cemetry at Stock- ton. He was in the very prime of life being about 30 years and 6 Anonths of age. It was very sudden and unex- pected, as such cases usually are, and his youngest brother was the only one within reach at the time of his trouble and with the best medical attendance on the coast hiscase seemed very hope- ful for two days,but he was taken with a relapse and gradually sank there- after. • Blyth • LECTURE.—The attendance at the lecture in the Methodist church, on Wednesday- evening, was not as large as one could wish. The Rev Mr Hincks, Stratford, changed the subject of his address ft om "Snobs" to "His travels in Europe," which was very interesting. FHNEHAL.—The remains of the late Mrs John McMillan, of Ripley, mother of Mr John McMillan, of Blyth, who had reached the ripe old age of ninety four, arrived on the four o'clock train, on Tuesday, and wet e conveyed to the Union cemetery, followed by a number of relatives and friends. I. 0. G. T.—The town was alive on Friday, owing to the great number of representatives who attended the Dis- trict meeting of the I. 0. G. T. held here. There was an open meeting in the evening, which was well attended, Mrs Scott, Rev Mr Hughes, of Wing - ham, and others gave interesting ad- dresses. s. —The 24th past off very quiet- ly in town, the day was observed gen- erally as a holiday and spent in various ways by our citizens, a number to- gether with the band took in the sports at Exeter; a crowd of young people pieniced at Point Farm and Benmiller, and in spite of the unfavorable state of the weather, declare they enjoyed themselves. &hiding operations and improvements are bemg carried on ex- tensively here this spring; several fine houses in process of erection and others contemplated, while tasteful fences are quite common, and have greatly im- proved the properties where erected.

W. McIntyre and A. Elliott, who re_pre- sented the Toronto Young Men's Con- servative Association. The chairman was Mr James Irwin, the president of the new club, to whom, with Mr Ward Farrow, the secretary, great credit is due both for its inception and forma tion.
