He starts in with the determination to succeed, and we have no doubt but that he will do so. ADVERTISING . PAYS.—It i3 an ac- knowledged fact that advertising pays especially when placed in a paper s widely circulated as the NEw ERA. A week or so ago a man at Benmiller ad- vertised in these columns the loss of a valuable dog, and recovered the ani- mal a few days after. Last week Mr J. C. Stevenson advertised a second- hand stove for sale, and was so besieg- ed with applicants for it that it took nearly all his time answering them, If you have anything to sell or buy, ad- vertise in the NEw ERA. A,comENT.-,A.rchie Taylor, of Wind- -0or, rata with a serious accident on Mo tday afternoon by his horse run- ning away and tramping on him. He was taken to his residence. where he lay unconscious for several hours. This is the husband of Miss Tilt, form- erly of Clinton.] TAXES,. — Mr Wheatley iso on his rounds collecting taxes, and is meet- ing,with a fairly good response, consid- ering that the roll has only been a short time in his hands. The roll re- presents about $11,000, and the council Intend that all taxes must be promptly paid, without any extension of time. LECTURE.—John R. Clarke was an- nounced to lecture in the town hall, last night, on "Gough in humor and dialect, He will lecture to -night, Fri- day, on "The rose, shamrock and thistle." Such an excellent and en- • tertaining speaker as Mr Clarke should have a full house. NOT SOLD.—Mr Mallough, of Luck - now, was in town on Saturday, en- deavoring to dispose of the property of his sister, the late Jane Calbick. It was put up by auction, but withdrawn, as the highest bid received was $400. Three quarters of an acre of land, and a new cottage are certainly worth more • than that. PROGRESSING.—Mr Thos. Tipling, whose arm was so , badly smashed last week while conpling ears, is progress- ing favorably. The wound was so. paanful at first that he could not sleep, -and lite brethren of the Sons of Eng- land Society, who sat up withhim, had to hold his arm in one position for him. meantime e by John McGurrie, of Blyth. 8EBP &X'QUR BYE ON OVA HOW TO KNOW A t*OOD BLACK RID TEST VOTES.—The town council has, in compliance with a request from the county council, decided to, take a vote at the next municipal election, as to the advisability or otherwise, of erect- ing a House of Refuge; this is simply a test vote and does not bind the county to the erection of such a place, but will give some idea of the cling.ote likelyh- out the county, as he general. A similar vote was taken last year in a few of the municipalities, but the idea is to get a vote an each municipality, as the plebiscite vote must be taken also, which necessitates a poll, whether there is an election in any particular municipality or not. Last year Clinton gave over 300 of a majority for the House of Rete. LIVE BIRD SHOOT.—The Clinton Gun Club held its annual shoot on the new park, recreation ground, on Tuesday last. The day was delightful, and the matcand the birds ds wees re an extremely contested, emely goodli lively lot.

The farmers are taking advantage of this weather to house their root crops. Builders, plasterers, tinclniths, paint- ers and others are busy closing up their season's work. There are several bad spots in the sidewalks that should not "',•gp unrepaired. The man who doesn't know the use of a door is very numer- ous. There is a suspicion that the summer foliage is on a leaf of absence. NOTES.—Mr Homer Andrews has sold a quarter acre lot; near where he is living, to Mr W. Robb.

Fair to the council, read at the last meeting, was one of very great importance. 1Ir Fair has lately, at very considerable expense, put into his mill a new system of fire protection. Every flat has been so provided that it can been flooded in a few minutes. The supply of water is virtually inexhaustible, being drawn from the mill pond. The new pump in connection with the system is power- ful enough to throw water completely over the mill. Mr Fair's offer to the - town is, that if the council will lay a pipe from his mill to the tanks on the market square, with a hydrant some- where in the lane back of the block through which the pipe would be laid, 'he will undertake, at very little cost, ,,p, see that the tanks are kept full. It is bf very great importance that these tanks in the centre of the town should always be kept full, and hitherto it has cost quite a sum to fill them, when emptied. We understand that the committee appointed to see, Mr Fair and arrange matters have unanimously agreed to report favorably on the scheme, and we believe the town will endorse their action. We need all the protection against fire possible, and Mr Fair's action is in the right direc- tion. TOWN COUNCIL.—The regular month- ly meeting was held on Monday night. A communication was read, being a resolution passed by the county coun- cil, asking that each municipality take a vote at next election as to whether or not a Douse of Refuge be erected in the county. It was decided to take such a vote. A letter was also receiv- ed from D. Graham, asking remission of taxes on the late Clinton Organ Factory, but the council decided that the taxes should be paid. The report • of the Street Committee showed what work had been done during the year, the committee has an unexpended bal- ance of $50 on hand. A new by-law relating to the management, &c., of the cemetery was read for the first time, and laid over till a subsequent nreet- m nded payment The nance Committee g of the following ac- counts:—J.

The matter was special] referred to the Fire Committee. Mr Searle introduced a resolution to re- duce the number of hotel licenses to iive,'the loss of revenue to be made up by adding the amount to that of the five; itberng uncertain what powers theMotion was not seconded, `rection, RANCE & SPALDING- At our Ribbon counter you will find a lot of New Ribbons in all the shades used for fancy work.
