fIo11:'Mr, Mercier delivered an ad-
dress on Canadian Independence, to a
” large Audience at Montreal, on Tues-
4ay. ; He advanced some strong argu-
i<neSts in its favor, at the same time
opposing; annexation. Wh#ttever may

Those papers which used the Gore
lander - for 8,11 it was worth, are now
drying to eavevtheir party from the re-
", ponsibility and odium of it, alleging
that it was not used for the benefit of
r Patteison's election, that they vir-
uous1y;refused to accept Gore's state-
inents, or used them in any way.—
'They' Might as well try to convince the
pnbliil that the whole thing was a
scheme On the part of Mr. Cameron,
;and that the bitterness and annoyance
he has been subjected to, were put on;.
or else deny that there ever was such a
fellow as Gore.
The. Ontario Legislature was opened
i?iE;the new buildings on Tuesday, with
ousiderable "hurrah." The occupancy
of the new buildings gave an opportu-
ity for considerable spread in the open -
g ceremonies that was, perhaps, par-
donable under the circumstances, and
the session is now in progress. The
*? Toronto papers generally admit that
the province has good value in the
building erected, and that the money
was wisely expended. It is certainly
Saying a good deal to admit that a sum
of $1,250,000 has been expended with-
out the slightest trace of irregularity
or crookedness.
"Don," the able but erratic editor of
Toronto Saturday Night, admits that
Ids sympathies are with the Conserva-
tive party, but acknowledges over his
own signature, that he is disgusted
with` the course of his leaders. He
openly states that the tariffis burden-
some, the civil service a reproach, cor-
ruption too common, and the effort to
"unite into one harmonious whole"the
different races and creeds, a perfect
*arce. He eulogises Laurier and MeT e -
i xlith as two clean and able politicians,
• an4 advocates a rnatlition between
them. It is refreshing to find an editor
opposed to Laurier who is honest
enough to admit what is quite true,
that the Liberal leader has not descend-
d-ifito the political mire, and that he
is free frpm corruption; and this endor-
sation of Mr. Laurier is all the more
significant on that account.

Church Notes.
Rev. T. Gee, of Georgetown, who re-
cently went to California for the bene-
fit of his health, is returning much
improved.
Rev. Mr Edge, of Acton, went to
Georgetown to preach educational
sermons on Sunday, but was too ill to
leave his room until the evening.
There will be Grand High Mass in
the Roman Catholic church,Clinton,
on Sunday, April 16th. on wich occa-
sion there will be special music and
altar decorations.
The statement which has been goin
around to the effect that Rev. Mi
Hughes, of Wingham, would engage in
- -mission work in New Y ork, is incor-
rect. We are informed on the best of
authority that Mr Hughes does not
propose to leave this diocese.
A Dungannon correspondent says:—
' Rev. Mr Kerrin, who was appointed
to the English church here last fall.
was removed to Bayfield on Thursday.
We will miss him very much, especi-
ally in the pulpit, where his sound
practical sermons had good effect."
The program of the E. L. of C. E. of
Rattenbury street Church provides for
a union meeting with the Society of
Ontario street Church, on Monday
evening, 17th inst., but as that is their
Sabbath School anniversary, the union
meeting will be held on the evening of
the 24th inst.
The Northern Messenger offered a
prize for the best poem contrihnte'l to
it, the subject being "The Messenger."
Among the contestants for the prize
were Misses Blanche Sheppard and
Maud Goodwin, of town, and the Mes-
senger publishes two verses from the
contribution of Miss Goodwin.
St. Paul's church was tastily decor-
ated for the Easter services on Sunday,
-and the attendance at each service
was large. The sermon, in the morn-
ing, by the pastor, Rev Mr Fairlie, was
based on 1st Cor. 15, 20; and the even-
ing sermon on the 7th verse of the 5th
chapter. The special Easter offeing
amounted to $103. The services ere
much appreciated.

The special services that have been
in progress in Ontario St,church for
six weeks, will be brought, to a close
Sunday evening. A goodly number
have openly siggniiled their intention of
leading a Christian life, and arecbption 1
service will shortly be held, Rev, Mr'
Smyth, suffering from a severe cold,
found it difficult to perform his work
on Sunday, and was unable to go to
Turner's appointment:
We bow our humble acknowledg-
ment for the following kind words
from the Stratford Beacom, now one
of the best papers in western Ontario:—
"Mr Robt. Holmes, of the Clinton NEw
ERA, preached in the Methodist church,
Listowel. Sunday_ morning and even-
ing for Rev., Mr Livingstone: Mr
Holmes ie notonly an able and con-
scientious journalist, but is also an ex-
cellent preacher.
Rev. Mr Wood, of Blenheim, a for-
mer Cllntonian and son of Mrs Wood,
of Hullett, has received a unanimous
call from the congregation of St.
Paul's church, Wingham, and report
says that it is likely he will accept.
Mr Wood is a clever young man, an
excellent speaker and a hard worker,
and we congratulate hint on his pro-
bable'appointment to so important a
parish.
The Sarnia Observer says:—"The
Methodist church, Point Edward, was
well filled on Monday evening, the oc-
casion being a lecture by Rev. Jas.
Livingstone, of Listowel, on the capa-
bilities of the human voice. The lec-
ture was thoroughly appreciated. The
lecturer is the possessor of a magnifi-
cent voice himself, consequently was
in a position to give many illustrations.
A hearty vote of thanks was tendered
Rev. Mr Livingstone.
The magnificent building in Listowel
which has done service as a Methodist
parsonage for nearly three years, has
been sold by the Trustee Board, to a
prominent young business man of that
town, at $2,000, being a slight advance
over the amount it cost the church.
It is beautiful building, and could
not be erected for four times what it
has been sold for, but is altogether too
expensive a house for anyone living on
the salary of a Methodist minister.
The annual vestry meeting of St.
Paul's church was held in the school
house on Monday evening, April 3rd,
at 8 p.m., Rev. Mr Fairlie in the chair;
there was an unusual large turnout
about 30 being present. Mr F. W.
Watts was appointed vestry clerk for
the evening. Minutes of last annual
meeting and subsequent special meet-
ings wereread and confirmed. The
Rector read his parish reports and
made comparisons with former years,
claiming an increase in attendance
and communicants and a very sub-
stantial increase in the offertories.
The church's financial year closes on
the 31st of March, and Easter follow-
ing it so closely the wardens had not
time to balance accounts, but a detailed
report will be given at the adjourned
meeting. Mr Fairlie appointed Mr H.
B. Combe Rector's warden, and the
vestry elected Mr Geo. Stewart the
people's warden for the ensuing year;
Mr A. M. Todd, vestry clerk, and
Messrs Brewer and Remington, audi-
tors; Messrs Smallacombe, Emerson,
Hovey and Alf. Rance, Sidesmen;
Messrs Jno. Ransford, Todd and Black -
all were appointedaflnance committee
to work in conjunction with the war-
dens; Mr John Ransford was appoint-
ed lay delegate to the Synod. Miss
McHardy was re-engaged as organist
at former salary. Vestry then, ad-
journed for two weeks.

ON THE ROADS. — Our merchants
have both their peddling rigs started
for the suinmer. W. Pickard runs
the rig for J. C. Pickard and Will Can-
telon for J. L. Courtice. This the first
season for the boys, but either of them
ought to make good salesmen.
Sicx.—Mr J. C. Pickard has been
unable to get out for a few days. MisS
E. Holdsworth is suffering from a
slight attack of congestion of the lungs.
Mr Fred Stanley is down with quinsy.
Mr H. Elford is under the weather
also. Several of the children of Mr S.
Sturdy are under the doctor's care.
EASTER SERVICES. — The services
held last Sunday were unusually well
attended. In the morning the pastor
delivered a very able discourse on the
Resurrection, to a full house, and in
the evening the sacred concert an-
nounced for drew a crowded house.
The singing by the choir was really
grand, and consisted of solos, duets,
quartetts and anthems, all of which
were very appropriately chosen for
the occasion. The readings and reci-
tations were also admirably suitable.
FUNERAL.—The funeral of the late
Geo. O. Tebbutt, who died Friday
morning, took place on Sunday, at
2 p.m., and proceeded to the Clinton
cemetery. This death has awakened
an unusual amount of sympathy for
the mother and remaining members
of the family, as now the old home-
stead, on the 14th con., will have to
he disposed of. As George was a mem-
ber of the R. T. of T. council here, the
pall -bearers were taken from out the
council; the Templars lined on either
side as the corpse was carried to the
hearse, and what made it still more
impressive was that at the last meet-
ing of the council, not a week before,
the deceased took part in the program
seemingly in his usual health. The
memorial service will be held on Sun-
day next at 7 p.m. The Templars have
been asked to attend in a body, also
the I.O.G.T. council of Summerhill, of
which George was at one time a mem-
ber. They will meet at the hall at
6.15 p.m.
NOTES.—Mrs B. Forster left last
week for Markham, where she will
visit sometime. Miss Bertha Scott, of
Thedford, is spending her Easter holi-
days at home. W. Stanley lost a
valuable driving mare the other day
from the effects of a kick received
some time ago. Mr E. G. Courtice
and wife, of Clinton, were visiting in
the village on Sunday. Mr John Ford
had a wood bee last Tuesday afternoon.
Mr Will Evans, wife and child of
Galt, are spending their Easter Holi-
days at his parents; he intends return-
ing Saturday. Mr S. Phipp com-
menced his summer duties Thursday
morning. A number of the farmers
took in the Monthly Fair in Clinton,
Wednesday. Owing to pressing busi-
- ness the R. T. of T. -had no program on
Monday last so the program intended
for then will be given next Monday
e night. We are .sorry to ,hear. of ,the

AN'N>[VE1EfSAItx SERVWES,
The anniversary' of the Rat-
tenbury Street "Methodist Sabbath.
School, on Sunday and Monday last,
were held: under .the most favorable
circumstances, oe e as successful
in all respects ascould e desired. On
Sunday morning Mr S.W. Perry, head-
master of .i '.incardine ocilegiate lusts*
tote, and a former Clintonian, gave an
excellent address to the children; he
seemed to be perfectly at ease, and
while his renin rks weze for the children
especially, all present listened with in-
terest and pleasure. The exercises in
the afternoon took the form of an
Easter Responsive Reading, the sub-
ject being "The Hope of the Resurrec-
tion." This was interspersed with
suitable recitations by Masters Norman
Fitzsimons and Roy Helyar:and- Misses
Ida Holmes, Flora Cuninghame, Mary
Lough and Mabel Doherty, and also
appropriate music, Miss Rumball, Mrs
Owen and Messrs Sibley and Bruce
rendering a couple of quartettes; Mr
Sibley, a solo; Misses Anna and Hattie
Irwin and Mr Sibley and Mrs Chowen,
duets, closing with a short address
from Mr Perry. In the evening the
Rev A. Stewart, of Willis Church, gave
one of his characteristically instructive
and able sermons, showing how work
for the Master always brought a re-
ward, and giving in uch encouragement
to Sabbath School teachers and others.
All the services were well attended.
The concluding service of the anni-
versary was a cantata "Flower Praise,"
given on Monday evening, and was a
decided success, there being a large
audience present. The beautiful music
of the service was admirably arranged
and perfectly adapted to the voices of
the young people. The leading char-
acter, Spring, was taken by Miss
Hattie Rumball, who is gifted with a
voice which filled the church with
sweet rich melody. Various kinds of
flowers were represented in solos,
duets, trios, semi -choruses and choruses,
all rejoicing at the return of spring
and singing her praises in delightful
harmony. A solo by Hyacinth (Miss
Sadie Sibley) was sang in excellent
taste, and was greatly appreciated, as
were also the duet by Lilies (Misses
Goodwin and Shepherd), the trio by
Lily Hyacinth and Geranium (Misses
Jones, Sibley and Goodwin) and a solo
by Buttercup (Miss Elsie Kinsman.
The modest violets were impersonate
by four shy little maidens from the
primary class, whose sweet voices sang
out in perfect time and tune the story
of a visit those fragrant little flowers
had made to a sick room. The service
throught was excellent and well con-
ducted, and reflects much credit upon
the young singers and upon their gift-
ed leader, Mr Sibley, whose time and
high talents are so generously devoted
to the Sunday School of which he is
the musical leader.
SECRETARY'S REPORT.
Mr Beesley, the painstaking Secre
tary of the school, read his annual
report, a summary of which shows
that the number of names upon the
register is 303, of whom 271 are pupils,
25 are teachers, and 7 are other officers
of the school. A loss of 44 members
has been sustained during the year,
through removal, while 38 new pupils
have been admit:ed, leaving the mem-
bership six less than at the close of
last year. The average attendance has
not—been -as high as last year, there
being 199, compared with 226 per Sun-
day last year. The attendance of
teachers has been 23 per Sunday, with
the staff numbering 25. The pupils
have been diligently committing Scrip-
ture verses to memory, having recited
6,824 during the twelve months, an
average of 153 per Sunday. The col-
lections have been in advance of those
of last year by $16.08, while the liber-
ality of the church has permitted the
equipment of the school with all the
literature and apparatus that has been
needed. The receipts of the school
for the year were $250, of which over
$50 were for missions; the expenditure,
$195.25, leaving a nice balance on hand.
The officers of the school asked for
the sum of $50 to aid in carrying on
'the work during the coming year, and
were exceedingly gratified by the very
generous response of the people, who
gave them over $81.
Mr H. Foster, the efficient superin-
tendent, is also to be congratulated on
the success of the entertainment, for
not a little of it is due to the attention
and interest that he personally gives
to the welfare and progress of the
school.
Items of Interest.
NOT STRICTLY LOCAL- YET MAY BE
REGARDED AS SUCH.
CORRECT.—An order has been issued
by the Post Office Department, that
registered letters are not to be deliver-
ed to others than the party addressed,
without written authority. Such an
order was unnecessary so far as Clinton
office is concerned, but doubtless there
aremany offices where the business is
not so carefully attended to as here—
hence the order.
ALWAYS THE SAME.—Did you ever
notice that the days of the month and
week are always the same in March
and November, in ,April and July.
That is, if March comes on Monday
November will do likewise, the same
rule applying to the other above-
named months. In leap year January
is with March and November. The
last day of February and the fourth
day of July always occur on the same
day of the week, the same is true of
the 24th of May and Christmas.
Morris
NOTES.—Sugar making time. Taffy -
pulls on the sly. Farmer Jones now
sleeps beside his sugar kettles; beware
boys. Roads running north and south
are almost impassable and many stories
are told of narrow escapes. John Bow-
man, jr., left on Tuesday, of last week,
to take a situation in Abel's foundry,
Toronto. Capt. Henry Brewar, of the
Salvation Army, returned to his work,
on Thursday of last week. Miss Mira
Ramsay has returned home after an
extended visit of three months, to
friends in Hamburg and Woodstock.
The barn and stables, of Alex. Eaket
2nd con., were completely destroyed by
lire a few nights agotogether with two
horses, five head Of cattle, implements
and feed; cause of flre unknown.
WOOD BEES. --Wood bees are th
order of the day. On Tuesday of las
week, Jas. Bowman had one at which
about 20 cords were cut; on Wednesday
was Wm. Sample's at which 15 cords
were put up; and on the Friday thor
were two one at W. J. Louch's and th
other at Joe. Bowman's, about 25 cord
were put tip at each of the1last two.

PLaker4 COME. --The I. 0, G,
Council are invited by the R. T. of T.
council of Holrnesville, to be present at
the irrernorial services of the late Geo.

quested to meet atthe Holmesville hall

Nous,— We noticed'Mr R. J. Drap-
er out the other day, he having almost
recovered from his late illness; Mr
Kilty has also recovered and will re',
surae his duties this. week. The seri
mon on Sunday last was - on the sub.
ject of the Resurrection, to which
ample justice was done by the pastor;
a large congregation was present.
Wood bee are all the rage just now.
Master Ethelbert Mcillveen has just
recovered from an attack of inflamma-
tion of the bowels. The roads are
beauti--well not any more thanks.
Mr James Mclllveen took a trip east
on Monday.
CHURoH.—The annual Vestry Meet-
ing was held in Summerhill, on Wed-
nesday evening. The church was
found to be in a flourishing condition,
after all expenses and minister's salary
were paid there was still a balance of
about $13 on hand, also a balance of
over $9 on hand of the church im-
provement fund. Several important
questions were discusssed, one of
which was the Prohibition Question.
A motion was made to the effect that
we, as a vestry, desire tolace our-
selves on record in favor ofhavinga
Plebiscite taken of the electors of the
Province of Ontario at the next gener-
al election in the Province on the Pro-
hibition Question, The motion was
carried.
AN .ERRONEOUS ITEM CORRECTED.—
The Goderich Signal of last week
says: A few weeks ago an item ap-
peared in the Signal which stated that
a stick of cedar had been taken from
the premises of Mr McClure, Colborne,
to be used for a flag pole for the Sum-
merhill Orange Lodge. We have been
informed since that the item was in-
correct. It isquite true that a stick of
timber was taken from Mr McClure's
premises by a number of persons, and
that the matter was settled by the
payment of $20 to Mr McClure, but
the taking of the timber was for an-
other object and not for the purpose
of raising a flag -staff at the Summer-
hill Lodge. We make • this statement
of the case from the later information
which we have received, and in justice
to the lodge at Summerhill. The orig-
inal item was got by our correspondent
at Benmiller in the regular way and
was not actuated by spleen or malice
towards the Summerhill lodge. We
hope this information will prove satis-
factory to all.
(Two estimablegentleman hada very animat-
ed and heat.d discussion in a store the other
evening because this item was not published
last week. The reason of its non-appearance is
simple. Friday last being a holiday, it was
necessary to deliver our town papers on Thurs-
day, and in order to do thio the NEw ERA wend
to press at 3 o'clockThureday afternoon instead
of 4, as is its custom. As the Signal did not
reach us until 3 o'clock our forme wore locked
up and ready to print before we bad an oppor-
tunity to insert the paragraph. We might Just
at the same time inform the genial correspon-
dent of the Record that ho has no right to cri-
ticise our "thoughts" because he knows nothing
wha-ever about them. He can attack actions
or speech all he pleases. Since the NEW ERA
came undor the control of its present editor it
has never allowed one unkind word to appear
in its columns concerning the correspondent in
question; on the other hand it has endeavored to
NEw Ewnell; f him. Has he done as muchf—ED.

hood.
Hensall
NOTES.—Mr G. C. Petty spent Easter
in Hensall, after two weeks in Sarnia;
he reports business there as satisfac-
tory, and intends removing his family
shortly. Miss Chidley, teacher in the
junior department of the Hensall pub-
ic school, has been forced on account
of ill health to give up teaching for a
season, and has secured Mrs McLean"
as a substitute; we hope that Miss
Chidley may soon regain her health.
Miss V. Whitesides, teacher, spent the
Easter vacation visiting friends in
Clinton and Seaforth. Miss Softly, of
London, who has been visiting her
brother, Rev.E. Softly, returned home
on Monday. Some miscreants tore
down a barber sign a few nights ago,
such destruction of property should be
put down with a strong hand. On
Monday evening Mr R. A. Buchanan
left for St. Louis Mo., whilst sorry to
lose a youngman of such stirling
qualities as Mr Buchanan, his many
friends here wish him success and pros-
perity in his new home. Mr J. Buchan-

pleased to see such evidences of taste
among our townsmen.

Selecting
T4all Papers
Is not an easy task,_evc n for
the people who sell- them
again, but there - are a cer-
tain number of advantages
that every dealer can't give
you, which make selecting
more easy.
Take for instance, you could
more easily select paper for
half a dozen rooms from
17,000 }Bolls (the size of our
stock) than you could from
some few hundred rolls, be-
cause your wii;hes for a va-
riety of patterns and: deigns
can be satisfied iu the -larger
stock, which would be im-
possible in the smaller.
Of course, even though' some
people had 50,000 rolls• their
stock would not be complete
as to colors and variety,if
their buyer lacked the abili-
ty needed for this depart-
ment.
At our store the buying is
carefully and practically
done, as our long experience
and concentrated efforts
have. taught us HOW, WHAT
and WHERE to buy tbeCream
of the•Manufacturers out -put
We have satisfied many peo-
ple in former years, and we
are doing it this spring.
The great advantage of our
trimming one edge off every
roll of paper we send out,
has been appreciated by
thousands, and no wonder,
because it saves a great deal
of time, and our machine
does it much better than can
be done with scissors.
