Mr Way makes a specialty of tomatoes, and there is no man in this county who can raise better ones than he. TaAT BoY.--There were three apli- cants for the homeless boy spoken of in last week's NEW ERA, and he was taken by a good hearted, generous, Coderich township farmer, but he had not been working two hours before he began to "lip" his benefactor, and skip- ped off before doing much work. A. FRUITLEss AncIDENT.— One day last week a lady in town heard a tre- mendous crash in her cellar, and on going down to investigate she discov- ered and was horrified to see that a shelf containing 25' jars of fruit, had dropped to the floor, every jar being smashed to pieces. FELL OFF THE TEAM.—The other day a horse belonging to Messrs ftansford, and used for hauling cars across the tramway, slipped backwards; it hung onthe edge of the tramway for seveyi-1 seconds by its front feet, mast .then fell to the ground, breaking the vertebrae just at the shoulder., -and dying in a ew minutes. SH P-' -SE DONE.—As the town is noir' ieriving a benefit from Fair's , it fire, a source of supply in case e, it is proposed to expend a little money in deepening and other- wise improving , it, so that it will be of still greater benefit in case it is need- ed. The amount required will not be large and there should be no hesitation on the part of the council in its expen- diture. APPEAL DISMISSED.—The appeal of the Bell Telephone Com any against its assessment here of $, was dis- missed by Judge Toms last Friday, he stating he would give a written judg- ment when the weather got cooler. Mr Scott appeared for the town. The company, own aa` instruments here, an exiiei ive switchboard, 113 poles and thousands of feet of wire, so that to most people the assessment seems a exceedingly reasonable one.

Stinson, of Rattenbury et., the re- lation of an incident in the life of ead of ovr 60 de - the late MreThos eWhitelyHefa herhof the present Customs officer at Clinton, among other business engagements, had the contract for carrying his or her Majesty's mail between Goderich and Galt. In winter and summer this was generally effected on sleighs and wheels, at other times on horseback Mr Rumball, then a youth, was em- ployed by Mr Whitely as messenger. One 12th of July Mr Rumball had an Orange favor in his hat, the mail bag in his possession, and on horseback, was on his way to Galt. When about lrishtown, near Seaforth, he eras stop- aed bout the road. One some men Michael• were wobking grasped the bridle, made 14jn Gribben, Rumball slashed -lie Orange and de- corated hat to isces Then cutting the bridle ! .;ose from the horse the an- imal e, dnapered back to Goderich. Mr R1/euball followed on foot. Mr White- ly secured the services of Magistrate Captain John Longworth, and along with him and Messrs Rumball and Stin- son repaired to the locality of the as- sault. They first interviewed Mr Dennis Downey, of good standing, and related the affair to him. Captain Longworth setting forth the seriousness of Grib- ben's offence, but that Mr Whitely did not wish to send Gribbens to the peni- tentiary. Mr Downey sent for Grib- bens, who apologised and said it was the result of a too liberal "grog" bass, borrowed the money from Mr Downey to pay the, expenses and thanked Mr Whitely for his leniency. Thus hap- pily ended this way interference with her Majesty's mail, and Mr Rumball was not afterward molested. NorEs.—Mr Will 1s attending the Y, while yMrfDunforLonod is laid up. On Friday last a grass field belonging to Mr John Pickett, on the Huron road, caught fire from a spark from a locomotive, but by prompt at- tention the fire was checkea before a n 1 great deal of damage was done.

The band cordially invites the citizens to spend the evening in the Park and take advantage of the concerts, for the evenings are growing short and will soon prevent playing there. SPORTING NOTES. — The Clinton Cricketers who went to Stratford last Friday, suffered defeat. Scrub base ball is this year attracting more attention and creating more fun than other sport; on Friday a match . was played under the captaincy of Mr James Ford and Mr James Finch, resulting in favor of the latter. A championship base ball match was played here on Thursday, between Goderich and Clinton. The Clinton and London Cricketers played a return match here yesterday. A game of base ball was played Wednesday between Blyth and Clinton, resultimg in favor ofthe latter. The members of the Fire Co. have challenged the Foundry em- ployees to a game of base ball', to be played some time next week. SMASIr UP.—On Friday last a young horse fancier, who is a pretty good handt driving fiery steeds, hitched up a team of high lifed full blooded horses, one of which was not broken. After he had been driving around town a short time, a friend hailed him for a ride. When the friend get in, he took the lines, to show the driver how to drive, as he thought. The horse went quietly for a short distance, when they drove to the Park; then the friend wanted to see some speed, and got them on the full jump. The neckyoke broke, and he turned the horses in to the fence,when both men were thrown out of the rig, one getting the entire seat torn out of his pants, and used his hat to hide .him, while the other got his leg sprained. No other great damage was done. DEATHS.—It is our painful duty to record the death of Mary Ann, wife of .F. Mr John Stevens, of the 1st con. of Tuckersmith. The sad event, which,~ occurred on the night of July 26th,was not wholly unexpected, as the deceased had been a great sufferer for a number of years. During her long illness and oftentimes intense suffering, she never complained, rather anticipating the end with cheerfulness and confidence, • trusting in her dear Saviour. She was a member of the Methodist church, a Christian wife and loving mother.— She was born in Kent county, England, and came to this country when about ten years of age, and was seventy-six years and seven months old at the time of her death. She leaves a hus- band, two sons and three daughters to mourn their loss. She was at one time a resident of Clinton.
