known Wholesale fruit dealer of Win-

he finds it a more acceptable climate,

• TRIFLES. — One-third of 1893 has
paqsed away. Vegetation is more ad-
vjuticed here than it is in the neighbor -
..,hood of Toronto, or even in the Nia-
gara district, where it is usually much
earlier. Will the readers of the NEW
' ERA. kindly send to this office the
names of visitors to or from outside
points. The fog was so dense, on
Monday night, that the electric lights
could not be seen one hundred yards
away. The backward spring has its
consolation, for as one gentleman ex-
claimed—"What, grumble at this; not
•9 me; why, man, it puts off house-clean-
ing."
MAIRRIAGE.—A Flint paper of last
week says:—"Leonard E. DeCew and
Miss Mary Finch, both of this city,
were united in marriage at -8 o'Cloci
Wednesday, at the residence of J. C.
Cole, at 613 Oak street, in the presence
of the members of Mr Cole's immediate
family. The bride was attended by
Miss Rosa Keene, and George White
• acted as groomsman. The ceremony
was performed byRev. W.L. Farnum,
The newly married couple were the
recipients of a number of presents, and
after the ceremony they left for their
future home at 311 S. Third street.
The News extends congratulations.—
[Miss Finch is a daughter of Mr E. '
Finch, of Clinton.]
HURON COUNTY GAOL STATISTICS.—

1893 WM. HOLMES, Treasurer.
THE MONTHLY FAIR.—The Fair on
Wednesday could, hardly be called a
success, and yet it was not exactly a
failure. Quite a number of buyers were
present, but only a few horses were of-
fered for sale, about half -a -dozen chang-
ing hands. The day was the first real
fine one experienced for some time, and
farmers were too busy plowing and
seeding, t,o think of corning to town
with stock. Time was literally money
to them, and every hour was of par-
ticular value for seeding, which, owing
to the unfavorable weather, is later
than usual this season, so that some
allowance must be made for their non,
attendance. If the fair is to be made a
permanent thing—as it should be—
there must be united effort. It cannot
be expected that the buyers will con-
tinue to attend, if they think there will
be few or no sellers on hand. There
were more buyers here on Wednesday,
than on any previous occasion, and the
advantage, to the farmers, of so many
buyers being eongyegated together,
should be a strong inducement for the
attendance of all who have stock to
dispose of.
NOTES.—Mr Gore, of Goderich, has
moved his family to Ingersoll, where
he has secured a situation. Messrs
Seale & Co. are preparing a handsome
monument for the late John Williams.

as it is here. Messrs. H. B. Combe and

ing in London, has returned to Clinton.
A large flock of wild geese passed north
over Clinton, on Wednesday. A cer-
tain business man is reported to have got
alarmed about a "draught" the other
day; this is not surprising, es either a
"draft" or a "draught" are not the
most pleasant things to encounter.—
The new outbuildings erected on the
school ground, have been completed,
and were taken off the contractor's hands
yesterday; the work is done to the en-
tire satisfaction of the committee. Mr
D. Robb, Inspector, has purchased

definite knowledge of the matter. The
Goderich Star is, this week, introduc-
ing a Rogers Typograph, whereby the
type is set by machinery; several of
these machines are in use in Toronto

• be successfully utilized in a country
newspaper office. Mr and Mrs Bently,
of Kansas (parents of Mrs H.B. Marcey)
have taken up their residence in town.

through by W. Jackson.
CONCERT.—The entertainment to be
given this (Friday) evening, by Miss
cHardy's pupils, also Miss Miller, of
Toronto, and Mr Fax, promises to be an
attractive and enjoyable one. The
following press notices speak for them-
selves:—
The gems of the evening among the musical
seleotions were those rendered by Miss Edith J.
Miller, she has a fine Contralto voile and a bright
vivacious style, which captured the audience and
called forth a most hearty encore each time she
