600 to 660 feet to the.lb., and put up in bales of
net 60 lbs, to the bale, IB this year sold at 80. per

chaser's nearest railway station within the Pro-
vince.. It can be obtained by any one remitting

Central Prison, Ter onto
Ansa optus.
BUSINESS CHANGE,—Mr Allan Turn-
bull, of Milverton, has bought out and
takenossession of the livery business
of Mr D. i3. Kennedy. He is a young
man of good business ability, and will
no doubt secure his share of this trade.
FROG KILLING.—Town Clerk Coats
and constable Wheatley are becoming
experts in the capture of frogs, secur-
ing 661 in three nights. Farmers, too,
are beginning to appreciate the hind-
quarters of these hitherto despised
creatures, and are slaughtering them
also.
HOTEL CHANGES. -Mr Frank Mc-
Donagh, of Carlow, has sold his hotel
business to Mr W. Bogg. of Toronto;
who has already taken possession. It
'was reported on Wednesday that the
jovial and portly landlord of the Al-
bion, Goderich, Mr Jonathan Miller,
had also sold out.
NEW WHEAT.—Mr H. Freeman, of
Bullett, delivered, on Tuesday last, the
first new wheat of the season, which
weighed over the standard. Mr James
Turner, of Brucefield, delivered at Ir -
win's Elevator, on Wednesday, some
of this year's wheat, that went 63 lbs.
to the bushel, and yielded 38 bushels to
the acre.
GENIALRAIN.—As a rule the pru-
dent farmer does not care to see rain
come during the wheat harvest, but
last week's downpour, and that of
Tuesday, will do more good to the
fruit, the roots and the pastures than
it will do harti to the cut grain. The
ground was very dry, and the rain
came just right.
DIED FROM HIS INJURIES.—Peter D.
Bart, bridge carpenter, who was injur-
ed by a fall from a bridge at Clinton
1 n May last, died at his home in Strat-
ford, on Saturday night. Mr Bart was
born in Dundas, and has been a resi-
dent of Stratford for about twenty
years. He leaves a wife and six child-
ren, his parents and five sisters and
one brother, all residing in' Stratford.
BICYCLE RIIN.—The Bicycle Club
will have their next social run on Fri-
day, Aug. 3rd, to Kippen, leaving here
t.5.30 sharp. A scorch will be indul-
ed in frorri Brucefield to Kippen; those
— .. ="- ing part m- it.will:remain' ,t -Bruen
Id long enough to give the others
me to reach their destination and see
x ,e finish. Every person with a wheel
is expected to be present.
VETERINARY ASSOCIATION—A meet -
i t • of the Huron Veterinary Associa-
t n was held in the Council Chamber,
tl derich, on Friday last. Among
t• se present were Dr. Gibbs, of St.
C rys, representing the Perth Veter-
i ry Association, and Messrs Black-
,. Clinton; Wilson and Golley, of
T ingham; Walker, Londesboro; Shil-
1 glaw, Mitchell; Medd, Dungannon,
d Clark, Goderich. Various matters
interest to the profession were dis-
t sled.
SPORTING NOTES.—The residents of
e Elliott block and Coats -Searle
t, ock had a tussle at base ball last
'0 hursday evening, resulting in favor of
t t e latter. On Saturday evening the
married men and single men of the
) oherty Organ Factory played a game
o f cricket; the score in one inning's
s tood, married, 49; single, 27. TLe.
unior lacrosse team played with Kin-
cardine, on Saturday, and were defeat-
ed 4 to 1. The base ball players who
tackled the Goderich club, on Wednes-
day week, were defeated. The mem-
bers of the cricket club go to Strat-
ford to -clay to play a game.
THE ENTRANCE EXAMINATIONS.—
The candidates who wrote at the re-
cent entrance and leaving examination
are waiting as patiently as possible to
hear from the Department the result
of their work. The board of examin-
ers have completed their work, but are
not permitted to publish the names of
the successful candidates until their
admission has been 'confirmed or re-
jected by the central board at Toronto,
altho ugh all the candidates have been
notified by post card of the number of
marks they have obtained. It will
probably be a week or ten days yet be-
fore any official information is given
the public.
UNFORTIINATE.—It was mentioned
last week that Mr R. Snowden, or
Stanley, had the misfortune to lose a
fine hog, by it dying in his waggon
while on the way to town. He had in
addition a warm experience; while
passing in the neighborhood of a
swamp in Goderich township, one of
the animals managed to jump out of
the waggon box, and s.n hour's excit-
ing chase was necessary before the
animal was captured. Then after the
pigs were. delivered to Mr Cantelon,
and were being loaded in the car, one
of the same lot died. The day was un-
usually warm, and although care was
exercised in bringing them in. it is pre-
sumed that the weather was too much
for them to stand. .
WHO WANTS A BoT?—There is a
strong, able-bodied boy of 12 years, of
age, knocking about town in his en-
deavor to make his own living, who
would be of good service to some farm-
er. The boy claims that his father is
in jail for abusing his mother, while
under the influence of drink, and he
has to make his own Iiving. He does.
not seem to be a bad boy, but has had'
to go hungry several times lately be-
cause of his inability to get food. He
is not a boy able to do a man's work,
but would be useful on a farm, and if
there is any farmer who would like to
take the boy and care for him, he can
do so by applyingto Mr Joseph Wheat-
ly, chief conetabie Clinton
FALL Fant.—A good, energetic com-
mittee iris been appointed to under-
take the.preparatio,l of attractions for
the fall fair, and we have no doubt but
that they will provide some admirable
special features.
OLD WATCHES.—We , mentioned a
week or so ago that Rev, Mr Newcombe
had a wateh which he carried for 40
years. There is, evidently, bider
watches than this in the country, Mr
James Kaine having one that he has
carried for about 45 years, while Mr
George Carter, of town, has a faithful
and reliable for
60 friend thatd thas bbe withoSuznr.iez Sale•
him for 60 years, and looks to be good
for 60 more.
HORSE MATTERS.—Mr R. S. Young,
of Detroit, bought five splendid horses
here and shipped them on Friday last;
he is evidently a good judge of horse-
flesh. People here were surprised to
learn of the sudden death last week of
Mr B. Aubrey, of Montreal, one of the
best known horse -buyers who visited
this section; his death was caused by
inflammation of the lungs, after four
days illness.
BUSINESS MATTERS.—The fall trade
will be on shortly, and Clinton busi-
ness men—always on the alert --are
well prepared for it. There is no place
where farmers can sell or buy to better
advantage than they can here; our
business men are courteous, obliging
and painstaking, and will give the
same attention to small purchases as
to large. Farmers or others who do
not deal with Clinton business men
will find it to their advantage to do so.
THE BAND CONCERT.—The Clinton
town band, under the leadership of
Jno.T.Shunk,playedon Thursday,26th;
the following, was the program:—
March Erminie
Andt. and Waltz ... .Rolette
March............ High School Cadets
Sere - Armonia
March ... . Rodman Rifles
Waltz.......................After the Play
Finale
Until further notice the concerts will
be given in the park, weather permit-
ting. Otherwise they will be given
from the band stand.
APPRECIATED WORDS.—The Acton
Free Press says:—"The Clinton NEW
ERA celebrated its thirtieth birthday
last week. The ERA is one of Ontario's
most successful journals, and enjoys a
provincial reputation. Under the con-
trol of the present owner, Mayor
Holmes, it wields a wide and salutary
influence."
The Brussels Post says:—"The Clin-
ton NEW ERA is 29 years of age and is
better than it ever was in its history.
As a. gatherer of local and district news
it sits in the front pew. Its editor
finds time to occupy the Mayor's chair
this year, in addition to his many other
duties. We wish the NEW ERA in-
creasingwealth."
The LINTON NEW ERA has reached
respectable middle age, but is as chirpy
as ever. Editor Holmes also finds time
to act as chief magistrate of his town
in a most efficient manner.—Goderich
Signal.
NOTES.—Mr J. E. Holnes, late of St.
John, N. B., has taken charge of the
dental practice of Dr. Wilkinson, Lon-
don; he is a son of Rev. J. W. Holmes,
of Clinton. Mr Pete Hancock, one of
the most jovial engineers on the G. T.
R.- nd one who has run on the Gode-
rich branch for a 1ong.Lme .has -.been'
ticansfertred== =of'"ffie -Wiarton branch.
Mr Russell Manning is at present as-
sistant book-keeper at the Doherty
Organ Factory. Miss L. Holmes, eld-
est daughter of Rev. J. W. Holmes,
has passed her final examination as a
Kindergarten teacher. The Ripley
Inquirer, speaking of a recent concert
there, concerning a Clintonian says:—
"Miss Nello McHardy is an accomplish-
ed musician, a,perfect lady, and her
efforts highly appreciated." To -day,
Friday, July 27th, is Civic Holiday; it
is one week earlier than last year.
We regret to learn that Miss Lena
Mason is again confined to her room.
On Thursday of last week the ther-
mometer registered over 100 ° in the
shade. We are sorry to learn of the
death of the infant child of Mr Harry
Stanbury, which occurred in Detroit
last week; Mrs Stanbury has also been
seriously ill, but is better. The fami-
lies of Messrs John Houston and F.
Macpherson this week go into camp on
the lake shore. The wife of Mr James
Seale, who has been confined to her
room for a couple of weeks, is now
able to be about again. The Street
Committee has built a gravel walk out
towards Stapleton. Mr G. F. Emer-
son contemplates a business trip to the
old country in September. Mr Carling
has sold the small house and lot on
Cutter street, to the rear of the Queen's
hotel, to Miss Cronyn, of Goderich
township. Messrs Seale & Hover, of
Clinton Marble Works, put up a fine
granite monument in Londesboro
cemetery, on Tuesday, for the wife of
Mr J. C. Adams; they also put up cne
in Westfield cemetery, Wednesday, to
the memory of the lute Thos. Hoare.
Mr Danford, of the G. T. R., had the
misfortune the other day to fall off a
fence and broke a small bone in one of
his lens. The regular meeting of the
Good' Uemplars is postponed, owing to
the holiday, until Friday of next week.
The appeal of the Bell Telephone Co.,
against its assessment, comes up for
argument at Goderich, before Judge
Toms, to -day; the Company claims
that its assessment of $600 is excessive;
it has49 telephone:, in use here, with
the poles and wire necessary for the
working of the lines. A report is cur-
rent here, but it,lacks confirmation, to
the effect that Mrs Autterson, whore-
cently moved to Toronto, had died in
that city. A good many purpose tak-
ing advantage of the excursion to To-
ronto this (Friday) afternoon, the ex-
tension of the time to Tuesday even-
ing is a decided advantage to the
travelling public. Mr Geo. Rumball is
making some extensive improvements
to "the Wigwam," the residence of
the Misses Monntcastle. Mr S. S.
Cooper is this week completing a fine
stable for Mr W. Doherty; it is as sung
and comfortable as many houses. Mr
John Ransforcl, who returned from
Chicago this week, states that the vis-
ihle evidences of the railroad strike, in
f he shape of ?or wrecks and ruins, are
something appalling; an attempt was
made tocwreek the train immediately
following his own. The girdler is at
work on raspberry hushes,, and should
he looked after. The St. Paul's church
fiahhath sr•heol and that of Ontario St.
had a fine day Sof, their,picnic to Gode-
rich yesterday; river 300 tickets were
sold. To -day being civic holiday, the
post office willk'he open only the usual
