They shciuld never have been required to Wear prison clothing in the first place. • THE COW NUISANCE: — Said a lady the other day; -'--"I'm real glad the NEW ERA is agitating the passing of a strict cow by-law, for if there is a pest I dislike it is cows running at large, making the streets impassable and des- troying gardens. I do hope our Conn- hil will pass a law to stop them." No*, gentlemen of the Council board, when are you going. to do it? Don't wait until summer is over.

RATHER BEHIND THE AGE.—Books and Notions, issued at Toronto, makes this reference to a paper published not a hundred miles from Clinton; —"In a certain local weekly in Western Ont- ario may be seen an advertisement of a photographing firm, which was dis- solved some five or six years ago, but the advertisement still remains like an Egyptian obelisk as a memento of the past. Truly the editor must not read his own paper, Editors who would allow such a state of affairs in their papercannot realize the duty they owe to their readers and their advertisers to always have all their advertisements fresh and crisp" In the same paper may frequently be found a number of advertisements that are technically known as "dead," their term having expired some time. DEATH.—A gentleman very widely known and most highly esteemed in the county of Huron, is the Rev. R. Y. Thomson, now a professor in Knox College, but for years on the active work of the ministry here, and it will be with very deep regret that these friends learn of the death of his wife, at the age of 33 years, which occurred it Toronto, on Saturday last. She was the eldest daughter of Mr Robt. Scott, of Mullett, a most amiable and estim- able young woman, indeed, in her as- sociation with Mr Thomson in his pastoral dnties. She was greatly beloved, and even when declining health some- what incapacitated her, she still met all claims 011 her time and attention. Her death is a very severe affliction to J Mr Thomson, whose health for years has not been rugged, and the wide- apreadaympathy of his old friends here, E CLINTON 'NZW gRA mg Solomon..
