NEw SCALES.—The old weigh scales belonging to the town, on the market square, not giving the satisfaction they should 'recently, have been replaced by •• an entirely new set, and on Friday the work of putting them in and adjusting them was done under the supervision i)f Councillor Kennedy. The new set is absolutely and mathematically • Correct. PALL WHEAT. — A gentleman brougl4t into our office last week a couple of heads of fall wheat that were baolly blighted. He could not state • what the cause was, but the impres- •Nion is that it was a, touch of frost. We do not think the blight is at all general, as we have not heard of any other being like injured. ' BAD ACCIDENT.—On Monday morn- ing last the eldest son of Mr. E. H. Snell, oPthe gravel road, just outside • of town, met with an unfortunate ac- cident, whereby he lost one eye. He was visiting his grandfather, Mr. Geo. • g. Snell, of Hullett, and while they Were sitting at the breakfast table, another member of the family stand- ing by, was handling a gun with which to shoot cherry -birds, when the gun was accidentally discharged. The • charge struck the floor and glanced, several of the shot striking young Snell in the face, and one lodging in the _corner Of his eye. Medical assistance was at once secured, and it was found necessary. te..retnove_the_eye.. No HALF -WAY IVIEASURES.—At the last council meeting a resolution was • passed "that the front fences on the Market square should be taken down, so that there would be no yards, and they could not shrink cattle there." Part of the fences have been taken down, and bills have been put up warning parties against shrinking cat- tle there, but this does not meet either the letter or the spirit of the resolu- tion. The fences should be taken down altogether, and it should be done at •once.,f Left as they are, it means that cattleAnary-nay there, if the own- •' ers Sep fit. to do it. There should be •linthing whatever that would encou- *age this. It is an unmitigated nui- nee, and no one should be compelled to submit to So unnecessary an act. VERY KIND AND APPRECIATED WORDs.—Renewing his subscription • to the NEW ERA, Mr. J. C. Linklater, principal of Gananoque Public School, writes the following very kind words: . —"For nearly four years the NEW ERA has come to us every Satur- • day morning, always full of interesting news from the townships and towns of • tay native county. But not only for its county news is the NEW ERA a Welcome visitor, I like it for the inter- • est it takes in education, and for the loyal and efficient support it gives the schools and teachers of Clinton, I like it for its fearless and outspoken ad- vecacy of right, and condemnation of • wrong in all moral and religious ques- tions. I like it for its independence and fairness in the discussion of polit- ical and party questions. I like it be- cause its general tone is bright vigor- ous, progressive, pure, and manly." • PERSONALS—Mr. Crisp, of the Regis- • tered Letter department, Hamilton P. C., (brother-in-law of Mrs Shilton] is spending his holidays here. Mrs. Geo. F. Brickenden, and children, London, ' are visiting Mr. Brickenden's parents ' here. Mr. John P. Tisdall left on Mon- •., day on a trip to the old country, ac- companying Mr WillJackson and wife. Mr. John Croll, of Perth Collegiate In- • stitute, is home for the holidays. D. • Cantelon and D. Cook returned from • the old country last week. Mr. J. Hill, • and wife, of Brussels, who were visit - the members of their family in this vicinity, went home on Saturday. Mrs Vandas, and children, of Dakota, are here On a visit to the former's father, • Mr. Henry Cole. Miss Ida Plummer, Who has been spending her holidays • here, returned to Providence, R.

In town solicitors will next week wait upon those of the townspeople whose sympathies are with the temperance cause, on behalf of the defence fund that is being raised, and they will be pleased to receive whatever financial aid they feel dis- posed to render. CONCERT AND LECTURE.—Thele was a fair audience at Rattenbury Street Church, on Wednesday evening, and no doubt all felt pleased at the enter- tainment. Mr. Patterson, of the Col- legiate, filled the chair. The Whyte Bros. rendered a number of pieces in that admirable manner Which has made their name famous, one of them giving a guitar accompaniment. Mrs. Owen- Hitchcox also gave a solo in addition to her address, which was divided into two parts, "Compensation—or render unto Caesar the things which are Cte- sars," and "Render unto God the things that are God's." There was no- thing particularly new in her remarks, but they were delivered with a force and eloquence that showed her whole heart was in the work. Her argument was that liquor dealers had no claims whatever for compensation, but that the SupremeBeing would require a full return for all the blessings and herit- age he had conferred on mankind. To BREAK UP THE ASSOCIATION.— The salt combine is in danger of breaking up through the effort of the Ontario Salt manufacturing Company of Kincardine to withdraw from the agreement made in Decemher last to fix prices and quantities produced. The combine refused to allow the Ontario salt works to withdraw, and obtained an interim injunction froni the county judge at Goderich to re- strain that company from withdraw- ing. G. H. Watson, Q.C., holds the case for the company, and on July 22 at Osgoode Hall the legal representa- tives of the trust will move to continue the injunction, which will open up the fight. The defence is that the combine is clearly illegal under the Combines Act, that its object is to limit the production and sale, fix prices and prevent competition. The combine stakes its case on the agreement which was signed by all the manufacturers. —Globe. [This is not exactly correct. The Salt Association stakes its case on the ground that they are not a combine within the meaning of the Combines Act, as salt can be purchased at any time from the manufacturers outside of the Association, and therefore, they cannot unduly enhance the price.

Mr. John Dodds, the well known pop manufacturer of Seaforth, is doing an extensive business through the county, as he deserves to, having recently put in improved machinery, etc; he turns out an excellent article, and as people seemingly want something to chink, they will find what he manufactures to be refreshing and harmless as well. W.T. Watson, C. P. R. operator here, has secured a situation on the railroa,d at Medicine Hat, and left for there last Monday morning, his place at Cooper's being filled by J. F. Innes, of Guelph. carriage load of young people went 14 Goderich on Tuesday evening, and then went out on the lake for a moon- light excursion; the weather was de- lightful, so was the sail to some of them, but -1 11 1 11 The Orange special train for Goderich left here about 1 a.m. Wednesday morn- ing, and a conple of Goderich youths who got left at the station here, footed it all the way home at that choice hour.
