Deceased, who was born in Hulled, was well known here, but has for some years resided at Pilot Mound, Man.- He was -a very popular and es- timable young man; his death was caused by infianimation of the bowels. About eighteen months since he was married to a Miss Sparling, of St Marys, and his remains were interred there yesterday. MODEL FARM EXCIIRSioN.—On Mon- day last an excursion to the Model Farm, Guelph, was run from Gode• Wingham and Clinton and inter- mediate points under the auspices of the West Huron Farmers' Institute. When the train reached Stratford there were 280 passengers on board all told. At Clinton eight tickets were sold. Had the excursion been proper- ly advertised there could have been as easily 1000 persons secured as the num- ber there was. There was not a bill or an announcement of any kind here, and very few knew anything what- ever about it. THE LONGEST AND SHORTEST DAYS.— The longest day of the year (21st June) is past, and summer is at its height. • From the 19th to 25th inclusive, the day's length, or duration of daylight extends over a period of 15 hotirs 26 minutes in each of the 21 hours—these are the longest terms of daylight in the year: For the same week next month therewill be 23 minutes less,of daylight and for the third week in August, 1 -hour-and..26nainutes-1ess..., The slaortest day of the year is 21st December, when Old Sol gives away to electric light or , coal oil, after a short reign of eight hours 56 minutes. COUNCIL MATTERS. — The Street Committee are certainly entltled to credit for the amount of new walks they are putting down this year; there are a few nasty places left yet, but not many. The surplus stone left -over from the building of crossings should not be allowed to remain on the road- side; there is a pile at the head of Al- _bert_street—that _sh orild_be_remov_ed. At the next regular meeting of the Council, which takes place on the 6th of July, some wide-awake and pro- gressive member should introduce a lay -law dealing with the cow nuisance; it will soon be too late to be of service this season. OPINIONS ON THE COW QUESTION.— Said a gentleman in town the other day to the NEW ERA.—"I don't believe in this opposition to the cow at large; there are a few people here who are trying to run the town and make it hard for the poor man; I keep a cow and it doesn't matter to me what the council does about the matter, but I think it is all humbug about the cows doing any damage." Said another— "I don't believe the cows should run at large, but what are we going to do about the grass growing on the side of the streets?" Said still another— "Shut the cows up, certainly; why should the town provide pasture for those who wish to keep cows; why should any one run the risk of having their garaen in jured; I don't believe it is justice or law that I should be re- quired to keep up a fence to keep the cows out: I believe the man who owns a cow should be required to keep it from doing harm." PUBLIC SCHOOL BOARD.—The regu- lar meeting of our board was held on Monday evening. Mr Lough reported the attendance for May as follows:— Boys enrolled 234, girls 237, total 471; average attendance 387. a considerable increase. Miss Copeland tendered her resignation, which was accepted. Mr Lough advised the promotion of Miss O'Neil and Miss Wilson* and he was authorized to offer Miss O'Neil pro- motion at her present salary, for the balance of this year, with a raise of $25 next year, and Miss Wilson pro- motion at $300 for this year, and a raise of $25 for next. So many new scholars are coming in that the Princi- pal thought they could not dispense With one of the teahers and substitute Kindergarten unless they could se- cure a teacher to take primary work in the afternoon; it was decided tis ad- vertise for such a teacher and decide what course would be pursued after applications are received. Mr Lough's report also contained this paragraph:— "I have just completed the work of examination of the school and think it due to my assistants to say that ...„after having examined Miss O'Neil's and Miss Helyar's work for five years, and Miss Wilson's for three. I have newer been disappointed in my expec- tations of resulted If pupils do not suceeed 'Oh those teachers, it Is not the faultiaf the tetteher." of having neW potatiaeS on the Oth of •Ufie, "as large as your 1Irat, and has some now that, are perfect crackers.

Scarlet fever is skirmishing around here, al- though it is a light type, people should be careful.
