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.

FIRE.—.A. fire broke out here on Fri-
day morning, and did considerable
damage before it was checked. 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.

cents in advance will pay for
the CLINTON NEW ERA for the
balance of this year.

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. Rhin: now
drives a new buggy, and his friends
naturally expect him to do something
this summer. Mr J. F, Staples has
this season raised his store and other-
wise improved the premises.

WEnDniss—On the Nth inst., in the
rectory, Rev G. 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.

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 attended the Model school,
Clinton, about 12 years ago, and tatight
school in Howick township, near Ford-
wich. He afterwards went to Oswego
and studied Stenography,iand practic-
ed his profession n the Courts of To-
ronto until during a very heavy case
at Osgoode Hall -he was taken with a
paralytic stroke; this was eight years
ago. 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.
Mr Robert Forsyth has removed to
Wroxeter, where he intends carrying
on business. Four knights of the road
passed through here on Monday, look-
ing for work where none was to be
found, and breakfasting by the way.
• The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper
will be dispensed in St Andrew's next
Sunday a.m. An interesting event
occurred at the residence of Mr Henry

two o'clock, when Miss Ellen was uni-
ted in marriage to Mr Jas Burgess, of
Brussels, Rev Mr MeLean performed
the ceremony in the presence of a
number of friends. A very severe
thunder storm passed over town on
Wednesday afternoon. Where was
our town flag on the 24th? It is said
200 men attended the barn raising at
Mr A. Sloan's, north of the town, on
the Nth; this will be an immense
strutture and very complete when
finished. Miss Osborne, Albany, N.Y.,
is the guest of Miss Felina Floody at
present. Miss Draper, of Listowell, is
the guest of Mrs Powell this week.'

YOUNG MEN'S CONSERVATIVE CLUB.
—A successful and enthusiastic meet-
ing of young men was held at Brussels,
on Friday evening, for the purpose of
organizing a Young Men's Conserva-
tive Association. • Addresses were de-
livered by Messrs James Taylor, E. 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. The young Conservatives of the
town have made a good start and in-
tend to keep up the work all along the
line.
Zurich.
NOTES.—Mr Fried, of Parkhill; ' was
visiting at Mr. Fred Kibblns last week.
Mrs. M. Firm, of Dashwood, was visit-
ing friends and relatives in the village
last week. The phonograph concert i
which took place n the town hall here,
on Thursday, was not so well attended
as was expected, but all those that
attended were perfectly well pleased
with the different selections, which
could be plainly heard all over the
hall. Mr Robert Williams, who *as
away attending the funeral of his
brother last week, has returned. Mr.
Geo. Buchannan, of Goderich High
school, spent Sunday at home. Mr
Horace Hardy, who was also attending
the high school at Goderich, is home
at present. The 24th of May was ota
served as a holiday in our village, the
principal business places were closed
up, and a great many of our sports
went to Exeter, Parkhill and other
places, while the remainder stopped
and kepis their eyes in the town. Mr.
Henry Eilber, who was over to Mich-
igan, on some business, returned home
on Saturday last.
Tuckersinith.
NOTES.—The 24th passed very quiet-
ly in this section as the agriculturists
here are too industrious to take a holi-
day in this kind of weathei., a number
found their way to the Hub eirpecting
to have a large time, but returned
without ha ving theirexpectations fully
realized. No buggy wheels have sihce
been lost and all jealousy is now pass-
ed away: Messrs.Geo and R. Venning
are visiting at T. La,yton's this week.
Mr Elias Ball and his sister spent Sun-
day with relatives here. Master John
Layton, jr, spent his holidays at Park-
hill. The usual picnic was held on
Tuesday last, in Mr Landsboro's bush,
when a smaller crowd than usual as-
sembled, and seemed to enjoy them-
selves for a short time, being sprinkled
now and then with the gentle shower.
Londesboro.
From an occasional Correspondent.
NOTES—Mr. Jeffrey has bought the
house of Mr. W. Brunsdon, at about
son. The temperance lodge here is
booming. Rev. Mr. Hamilton has got
nicely settled doWn to his pastoral du-
ties here, and the Presbyterians are
much pleased' to have so excellent a
person once more superintending their
affairs here. Rev. Kr. Walker, Varna,
occupied the Methodist pulpit here last
Sunday, Rev. Mr. Ferguson taking the
work on the Varna circuit. Mr New-
ton has purchased a harness stock at
Wingham; this does not necessitate his
removal from here, though it is said he
may ultimately do so.
COMPLIMENTARY. —At the last Quar-
terly meeting of the Londesboro Cir-
• cuit of the Methodist Church, the fol-
lowing resolution was unanimously
passed: "That inasmuch as our esteem-
ed pastor, Rev. J.Ferguson, must leave
this circuit pursuant to Methodist rule
at the close of the present connexional
year, we hereby put on record our high
appreciation of the services he has ren-
dered this circuit by his able and faith-
ful preaching and wise administration
of its affairs during the three years of
his pastorate here, and pray that God
may abundantly bless him and his fam-
ily wherever hereafter his lot may be
cast."
Benmiller.
Nos.—We are pleased to see our
old friend, M. Vanstone, about again
after the severe attack of the grippe,
which has kept him at home all winter.
The executors of the estate of 1 he late
W. J. Harris have rented the farm out
in portions to the neighbors and the
family, will remain on the old home-
stead this summer. The sale of the
stobk and implements was well attend-
ed and realized the sum of $1,500.
A BIG BusmEss.—Our nurseryman,
Sohn Stewart, of the Benmiller nur-
series, has just finished the delivery of
trees and shrubs for the season. The
business done has been simply immense.
For a while he had two teams on the
road with monster loads for the neigh-
boring villager and towns, and every
year the reputation of the nursery is
increasing. The packing is indeed a
laborious one and was all done under the
personal supervision of the proprietor.
