REMOVAL.—Mr Wm. Martin has re- moved his barber shop to the Meyer Block, opposites the post office, where he hopes to do a larger business than heretofore. AN ERROR.—Mr Peter Fisher wishes us to state that he does not claim that it is owing to Prof. Oustin'ti treatment he has again the use of his limbs, as was stated last week. 3.1EAVING THE FARM.—Mt Jas. Hen- derson, who has lived on the Bluevale road for the past twenty years, and who has followed the occupation of farming, will open a dry goods and grocery store at Ethel. A MORMON PREACHER.—There S been a Mormon preacher holding er- vices in Richie's hall, the past few weeks. The attendance has bee small, owing to other attractions in town, and the smaller it is the better for the place. • LEFT A FORTUNE.—Rev Mr Hughes, the pastor of St. Paul's church, has been, we are informed, left a legacy, by his relatives in England. We congrat- ulate the reverend gentleman upon his good fortune, and hope he may long live to enjoy his wealth. TO THE CLINTON NEW JR to the outside, amid the greatest ex- citement.

Moore, of the Salvo n Army, to a Miss Kirk, of th awe ranks, is announced to take eve in a few weeks. The captal was at one time in charge of th ingham corps, and was one of he most popujar of- ficers we Rave HE wlia. Act Musio.—Mr W. H. Willis, wh has disposed of his boot and shoe siness, will devote his time and tad is to teaching music. This gentle an is considered to be one of the b t in the line of musical instruct- ors, nd we hope will be successful in hi enture. EW BARBER SHOP.—Mr Alf. Sebes- tion, who has been in town for the last five years, will shortly. open a barber shop. Alf is favorably known in town, but we think the two tonsorial artists in Wirigham are fully competent to meet the wants of the people. THEY STOLE HIS Woon.—Landlord Dunnage, of the Brunswick hotel, has large piles of wood in the rear of his house, which have been gradually growing smaller the past few weeks, owing to the nocturnal visits of his 'neighbors. The cast has been placed in charge of Chief Bullard, who will, na doubt, locate the thieves.

Mr W. . to ‘3. t HE RECEIVES 60 CTS. A NIGHT.— We think the town council of Winghain for 1892 a "back number," in allowing a man to patrol the street :4 all night, hail or shine, for the large amount of 60 cents a night ($4.20 a week). The NEW ERA. man is in favor of our town rulers ecrniornizing, but we,claim a great injustice is being done in taking the labor of this man, for which he is only half paid. We hope the intelli- gent body elected this year will in- crease the pay of the night patrolman, and do away with "hack n neiber" ideas as to how the affaits of a town should be managed. Is OF THE CHINESE SPECIES. —We think the editor of the Wingliam Times is of the Chinese kind. In last week's issue, in referring to the NEW ERA man's grist from 'Vtlingliarn, he says "Chief Bullard is a highly paid of- ficial, and no one knows it better than .the Chief." The NEw ERA man has been making investigations as to the exact amount of Mr Bullard's salary, and finds that he receives a trifle over $1 a day of 12' to 16 hours. This sum apparently appears large t,o the editor of the Times, but we think he must be of the rice eating kind, as we think no Sane man would call Chief Ballard a well paid official at $1.13 a day. He further insinuates the NEW ERA man 4.aittuttri PP, ISO* TO MY PATRONS—I desire to thank you for the liberal support ou have, given its the past years.

Mr John Corn yn, Detroit. is in town, visiting friends. Station Agent Beemer, of the C.P.R., is so con- scientious that no amount of persua- sion could induce him to give baggage to a western man on Sunday last. Cards are cut announcing the marriage of Miss Lou, daughter of Mr Wm. Stew- art, of this town, to Mr Fox, druggist, of Wroxeter, next week. The license lr is to be taken from one of the five hotels in Winghain, and the hotel men are anxiously waiting to hear which will be the one. Mrs John Conover, formerly of the Exchange, and her son -in law, Mr Harry Garbut. are keep- ing hotel in Sarnia. Ben Leary, for- merly proprietor of the British Hotel here, who has been farming in the west, is visiting his many friends here. Which we wish to dispose of at reasonable prices. ADAMS' EMPORIUM, LONDESBORO Short Snatches orPolitical In -.1 formation. • (Toronto Telegram.)" Wilfrid Laurier has spent some time clearing the ground for the greet Liberal convention that will probably be held next autumn. Some gentlemen who sit in the press gal- lery and read the future as easily as if it were a last almanac, declare that the Dom- inion Government will rush on an eleotion after the approaching session. They are away off. When Lord Stanley goes and Lord Aber- deen comes the new Sir John may not have the chance that the old ono had to take the Opposition unawares. Lori Aberdeen will provea stickler for British precedents, and he certainly will not see the Opposition wronged by the Government's anxiety to •take it unawares. 014 Sir John left no one in politics as muck like himself as Wilfrid Laurier. The Liberal leader excites among his followers the same fort of personal affection which the stalwarts cherished for Sir John A. Macdonald. In a late issue of the New York Sun Mr Edward Ferrer stigmatises the late Hon. George Brown as a "Scotch Tory who ima- gined himself to be a Liberal." W. T. R. Preston left no one bebind him who can do the ornamestal platform work for the party. E. Dickey, &diplomat after the manner of Robert Birmingham,is doing the quiet work of organization, and judging by the result of the Peel election is doing it , well. To organize a campaign for all Toronto 1 as one constituency, is a task calculatedto thin the fattest pocket book. They do say that Dr. Ryerson stands ready to throw ll8,000 into hie tight. The Doctor could easily do it and such a sum could be spent quite legitimately, but the estimate is pro- bably far in excess of the real amount. If Sir Oliver Mowat were in feeble health a Provincial general election might be bur. ried on in order that the party might not lose the advantage of going to the country under his leadership. But the little Prem- ier was never better. His hair is still far from white and those who sit behind him in St. James' Square church on Sundays, morning and evening, see many men not yet fifty who look older than Sir Oliver. Wilfrid Laurier is leader of the Liberals ir, fact as well as in name, and he it was who called off the election petitions against Conservatives in Ontario. He did this to save the seats of his own followers in Quebec. There were eight or ten protests standing over from the general election. These would have emptied the seats of Quebec Liberals. Mr Laurier ordered a truce in Ontario, and J. C. Patterson agreed to a truce in- Quebeo. The advantages of this arrangement were all with the Quebec Liberals, for, ,according to ite terms they were freelo preastheir own protests against Conservative members. Kind Wordm.front Competent Judges. Before us is No. 1,• volume 28, of the Clinton NEW ERA, and ou. verdict is that Bro. Holmes gets out an excellent local newspaper. The ERA is not only well filled with current events, but the paper is well printed and put together in mechanical style. The clean, neat appearance of a newspaper is as essen- "was beyond his depth" rn writing up tial to its side as its contents.

A special cable from the Old Conntry says there is not meal likelihood of Gen. Wolseley being the next Canedian Governor- General. Lord Aberdeen il1 likely be the. one. Only two of the newspapers in Toronto support the N. P., and one of them could not exist a day if the atonopolists did not but up a portion of the profits wrung from the consumers to keep it going.
