LAPSED.—The late Mrs Glazier, of town, who was spoken of last week as having an insurance of $1000 on her life, had, unfortunately allowed the policy to lapse, although it had„only been in existence a short time. RETURNED.—On Monday last Messrs J. J. McLaughlin, of Summerhill, and J. B. Weir, of town, returned from their trip to Manitoba. They state that in some parts Of the Province seeding had commenced,but times were very dull indeed, and money exceed- ingly scarce. HONOR ABROAD.—The Woodstock Sentinel Review, of Saturday, re -pub- lishes a letter by W. C. Searle, on the care of shade trees, and also makes favorable editorial comment thereon, stating that "Mr Searle has very cor- rect ideas on the care and trimming of shade trees." GOING TO MITCHELL. -Mr E. Downs, late of Minnedosa, Man., and his bro- ther, Mr Albert Downs, of town, have bought out the merchant tailoring business of Mr House, Mitchell, and are now in charge of the same. Both are experienced and competent young Ilfen, highly esteemed, and the people dff Mitchell will no doubt accord them a generous patronage. SLAVERX DAYS Co.—The following was handed to the NEW ERA, as a re- port of this show, by a ten year old youth, who may yet develop into a reporter:—"The Slavery Days' concert, which was held in the town hall, in Clinton, April 12th, was well attended. It is the first time it has been here, it was well acted. They had good dam- er, the cake walk was the last. No. 14 got the prize." BOARD or HEALTH.—On Monday the•Board of Health held its first meet- ing for the year. Mayor Holmes was appointed chairman, and Dr. Shaw re- appointed Medical Health Officer. Matters relating to the health of the town were discussed, and a circular dealing herewith will be prepared and distributed. As earth closets, proper- ly attended to, are the best that can be used, the townspeople are advised, to converttheirpresent closets to this form. A HURONIAN.—A murder trial was in progress in Chicago last week, and the report thereof alludes to a former Clintonian as follows :—" Mr A. M. Taylor, one of Frank Wheeler's at- torney's, conducted the cross examina- tion. Taylor is from Toronto, and has not practised at the Chicago bar many years. He conducted the examination in a masterly manner. and made the infamous woman tell the court how she had been very much married, and how she had practised clairvoyancy and spiritualism for years." EVIDENTLY DROWNED.—Reference was made a couple of weeks ago to the reported death by drowning of a bro- ther of Rev. L. H. Diehl, at Duluth. In order to find out, if possible, what had become of him, another brother proceeded to Duluth and made all possible inquiry and investigation, but could learn nothing, whatever of his brother's whereabouts. The presump- tion is that in walking -along the wharf he had fallen into the water and was drowned. The harbor being at present covered with ice, the body could only rise to the ice and sank again, and will not likely be recovered until the ice has gone. TAE STOCK HAS ARRIVED. — The London Advertiser of April 7th says.:— This is the last day of the sale of the Rolfe bankrupt stock. This has been one of the most successful sales held in London for a long time. Knowing that the stock was new, •that it was one of the choicest and best in the city, and that only high class and reliable goods were to be found in it, the buying pub- lic have thronged the store ever since the sale commenced. Having reduced the stock sufficiently to allow it to be moved, Messrs Hodgens Bros. are tak- ing it to Clinton the first of next week, and their customers there will have an opportunity to purchase high class dry goods at less than the goods cost wholesale. FROM THE WEST.—Mr H. G. Fisher, formerly of Clinton. writes from Den- ver as follows:—"Like the rest of the country, Colorado in general and Den- ver in particular, have passed through what might be termed hard times, and they are not the best imaginable yet, but are improving, and we are coming out all right, and 'propose to keep right up with the procession. In fact, we of Denver are confident that there is a great future before her, and surely with the enormous and varied resources of the state, the top of which has hardly been scratched over, there is•good foundation for the "faith that is in us." Since silver was demone- tized, prospectors have turned their at- tention to gold, immense deposits cf which have been found and are being found in various parts of the State, and the output for 1894 will very large- ly exceed that of any year in the his- tory of the State. Silver is also being mined, though to a limited extent. Aside from these, there is almost an unlimited supply of coal, iron, petrole- rrn, all kinds of stone, marble, &c., &c. Doyouwdnder at our confidence in Denver's fixture? Keep your eye on Denver, and likewise Colorado, for they have come to stay." FOOTBALL. --Ar meeting of the Huron District Football Association was held in Seaforth,lon Wednesday, April 18th. There were present, Vice Pres. W. Prendergrast, B.A., Seaforth; E. Sell- ars, Goderich; B, J. Gibbings, Clinton; TR CLX' TON NEW ESA, J. W. Livingston, Seaforth.

This will be the hot- test contested 'district in the associa- tion. and the town boys ask the sym- pathy and support of the town. TWO WARDS MORE.—At the muni- cipal nomination meeting last Janu- ary, Councillor Taylor, of St. Andrews Ward made the boast that he repre senteci a ward which had "two churches and no hotel in its bounds." Since the fire Councillors Plummer and Young are able to make the same boast. POSTAL MATTERS.—The delegation who went to Ottawa to see about get- ting a new post office built here, got back on Saturday, and reported that the Government will place Clinton on the list of public works, and use their beet endeavors to secure a grant for the erection of a building. The death of Mr Fair creating a vacancy for the postmastership, there are said to be a number of aspirants for the position. The names of a number of persons in town, and also several out of town, are mentioned. NoTEs.—The Brussels Post says:— "Inspector Robb was in town several days this week while visiting the var- ious schools -in this l'oca'lity;" -he faith-- fully aith=fully discharges the onerous duties of his position.

Mr John Hill, of the gravel road, Hullett, left for Toronto onWed- nesday, where he will enter the store of Walker & Co.; he is a progressive young man, and will doubtless succeed in his new sphere; his brother, wbbo has been working at Londesboro, will undertake the management of the farm.

On Sunday, while the crowd at McMur- ray & Wiltse's store were waiting for the funeral, one young man was shoved back through a large pane of glass. Fruit men say that there is plenty of fruit bloom this year, and consequently good prospects for fruit. The second alarm of fire given here on Tuesday morning was heard in Sea - forth. Mr W.

A Beautiful Dress 1:4 WALL A (I Our PAP It is a frequent experience with ladies that when a dress is bought with care and made with taste, some indefinable thing is lacking, to give it the perfect touch of beauty. It is the supplying of this that has made Priestley's Dress Fabrics So highly esteemed the world over. For beauty, texture and enduring quality they are unequalled. Manufactured as they are, in pure wool and in silk and wool interwoven; these goods have a soft richness that is a perfect delight to a lady of taste. ".A dress of Priestley's fabrics retains its style and beauty as long as there is any of, it left, hence they are the most economical to buy. Priestley's goods are mostly in Black, and Black and White, and you can be sure you are getting the genuine by see- ing that they are rolled on a varnished board with the words "Priestley's trade mark" stamped across the end; unless they are so rolled they are not Priestley's. You can get Priestley's Dress Fabrics from us. We are sole agents for Clinton,and have a fine.range for you to select from. Something New Stewart's Duplex Safety Pins We have just received from the makers in New York a ship- ment of these pins. They are a great improvement over the ordinary safety pin, lock as freely in the dark as in the light, and from either side, cannot miss fastening by passing through, the point is completely hidden and pro- tected when fastened, and also have the additional ad- vantage of the "guard attachment" over the coil, so that the fabric cannot catch therein, as is so often the case with the common safety pin. W e have them in three sizes, small, medium and large. They cost a cent or two a dozen more than the common kinds, but then the're far better. Estate 1 odgens CLINTON TheVlainReason. That the lines of Suits we manufacture to sell at $7 and $10 are more in demtnd and more popular than ever, is, we never let a season pass by without increasing the value of these lines. Better Cloth is used, Better Trimmings adorn them, Better Workmanship Makes them, And in all, the Suits shown by us this year are ahead of anything we have ever previously shown at these prices. When a man buys a $7.00 or . $10.00 SUIT Once—he buys another -- they give satisfaction. The same may be said of $2 and $3 TROUSERS These lines are also specially good value for the money. This year we have reduced the price of BOYS' KNEE PANTS In sizes 22 to 27, from 85 cents to 75 cents, and also improv- ed the material used in the same, and intending pur- chasers should not, in justice to themselves fail to see our well assorted complete, stock of Children's,Youths'& Men's Clothing j Hatters and Clothiers, ACIgSbN BROTHERS, CLINTON.
