She was from imported stock, weighed about 1700, and was valued at $500; there was an insurance of $200 on her.

Stephenson is at present slightly indisposed, but hopes are entertained that she may soon regain her usual good health. On the evening of the strawberry festival, one of our young men became so enamoured with the charms Of one of the fair sex which was apparently duly reciprocated, they became so oblivious to the time and their surroundings, that when Mr Britton arose in the morning, be found them occupying the best seat in the parlor. MriMowat should have ad- ded another clause to his bill, to make it an offence for young ladies to smoke eigars, as the other evening some were seen evidently trying to learn. Mr. J. Neisham and wife, of Toronto, were the guests of Mr. D. Millson for a few days last week. 40 Cents in advance will pay for the CLINTON NEW ERA for the balance of this year A SUIT FOR THE BOY We suppose so, for the boys must be stylish- looking when they go off on their holiday visit, but a suit will not remain stylish long un- less made of cloth with some wear in it.

His ill health for some time pdst being the chief cause. He is al- most recovered again. AcciDENY.—As Miss S. Rumball was on her way to the funeral on Friday last, while descending the railway bridge, she slipped, causing her to fall upon the hard road and stones beneath, the fall resulted in a severe cut on the forehead. Medical aid was at once summoned, and the wound is doing nicely. We hope soon to see her around again. WAS IT A LION?— Other places boast of brave women, but we think we can beat them, for two of our women the other day were heroic enough to tree a strange looking beast, which neither of them could name. When they had the monster safely seated in the crotch of the tree, one could hear amid their cries for someone to bring a gun, such sentences as "is it a bear? noit's a wildcat, its either a tiger or an elephant, &c., &c." Strange to say, while the animal was being killed, by actual measurement, at a distance of 23 and 27 rods respectively. As they had not divided the spoil before we left, we cannot say whose cutter the robe w 11 decorate next winter. P. 8.

AMUSING INCIDENTS AT AN AUCTION SALE AT PORTER'S HILL. THE AUCTIONEER THROWS DOWN THE HAMMER Intended fortthe week. Quite a crowd had ga ered at e little vil- lage of Porter's BUJ, one 'right evening in July, in consequence oti notices put up around the locality, to the effect that the trustees would let by public auction, on that particular even- ing, the job of painting the school house two coats; the paint to be provided by the trustees, and the sale was to commence at 7 p.m., sharp. Painters from the neighboring towns had driven out in the hopes of securing a fat job, as such jobs generally go. "But,' no doubt says the redoubtable Robert, "I have a tender, or bid, in my pocket." Robert, or Bob, as he is most gen- erally called, was one of the trustees, and, by all appearances, the working partner of the firm; as the hour for the auction had passed, and no sign of the other trustees was to be found, and he said, "Well, boys, no doubt but we have got to sell her, so here goes," and Ro- bert walked around to the steps of the school house, at the foot of which he met one of the other trustees, who had just showed up to see how Bob would get on as an auctioneer, but in truth Bob had no stomach for the job, and en- deavored to persuade Mr McDougal' to take the bids. "Don't you mind, Bob, you're doing well, all you want Is a little more practice," and Mr McDougall walked alter to the fence and 'sat down. Picking up a hemlock sliver to servo -as a hammer, and with determination in every line of his care -worn face, Robert strode to the topmost step of the flight of stairs, "Mr John Torrance will read over the terms of Rale, and then yous'll hear it from his own mouth. for no doubt some of you may not have seen it." This was greeted with loud cheers, and crys of "Go it, Bob," and then Mr Torrance read over one of the notices that had been put up. "Now, boys, bid herdown, sharp. Goin', goin'—" "Hold on, hold on," call the painters, "what is she going at, no one has bid?" Yells, cheers and laughter greeted this announcement, and Robert ap- peared at first a little nonplussed. "Howld on yous, till I tells you, but howld on, I have a bid in my pocket," cries Bob, "and 11 yous don't come below it, the reserve bid, yous'll not get it." A solemn silence followed this strange an- nouncement, till a local man had the temerity to break the spell and offer $40 for doing the job. This amount fairly raised Bob's hair and tem- per too, and he called loudly for more bids, and after some time a painter from one of the towns offered to do it for $30. "Going, going, going, for the third and last time." "Good evening, boys, what is he selling, the school house? Good evening, Mr Beacom, you appear busy." It was the voice of Mr Peter Cantelon that had thus rudely shattered Robert's hopes anti aspira- tions, bet 'which, in all probability, had saved him from cotnmitting the greatest blunder of his life, for had he uttered the fatal word gone, where would he have been? That job of paint- ing would have been let to the town man for $20, when the "pet" had offered to do it for $10. Robert seemed at first to be little inclined to stop his show. or have anything to say with Mr Cantelon, and called again for sonte one to bid for the job. "Excuse me, Mr Beacom, but I think you are a little previous with ;vow. auc- tion. What paint is it you are kindly present- ing the section with? I trust you have selected a suitable color for our school, as I should be very sorry to see you with 15 or 20 gallons of paint left•on your hands," quietly remarked the senior trustee. "It's no go, boys, no doubt but it's all knocked in the head, through no fault of mine, RO there." and away flew the hemlock sliver, which Robert had been wielding up to the present, in place of a hammer. "They have et MO' Want -this job -for; don--" --Cheers and shouts here drowned his voice, and the meeting appeared to be going to break up vdth nothing done. However, Mr Cantelon request- ed the bidders to wait for a little, and the two trustees and -secretary to accompany him into schoolhouse. This was done, and while they discussed the best line of conduct to adopt„ Mr Alex. McDougall rang the passing bell for the hopes of Mr Robert Beacom and his fraternity of painters. In a short time Mr S. McDougall came out and announced the final terms of the job, and stated that Mr Beacom had received an offer to paint the school for $15. The effect was instantaneous, the crowd.began to disperse. and the painters jumped into their rigs and drove away, and it looked as if Robert's reserve bid had it. Strange, though, Bob seemed ill at ease, and on thearrival of Mr Potter got him to bid $14.50.. This let Bob in the seventh heaven of delight; the "pet" had not got it, and he was relieved of his biol. But stay, Bob, the hammer has not fallen yet. $14.25 says a .voice, and 5cts at a time, like the tick of a clock, down she comes. till finally it is knocked down to the hated pet for $12.70. Goderich Township NoTEs.—Mr. Harry Beacom lost a good horse from lockjaw last week. Mr R. M. Churchill,- who has been in the northwest for sM4Itinae, has came home. Miss M. A.
