,1wln, has rented her farm of 100 acres,
on the 18th concession of Hullett, to
MrW. Killips for a term of five years,

WE CAN'T Go.—The NEW ERA re-
ceived an invitation td be present at
the wedding . of Mr Trak Irving, at
Edwardsville, lel,,, .pli tale._ 12th Inst.,
but for various reasons we could not be
present. Frank is a well-known Clin-
tonian, son of Mr John Irving, and we
extend our congratulations.
'd,'ERirsio ST0BAL—Sunday night a
thunder storm came up, accompanied
by a terifdc wind, that did consider-
able damage; fences and trees were
blown over and a Wind -mill on Fair's
farm was destroyed. The storm also
blew in a window; at Mr Robt. Welsh's
residence.
Bu uia Lu ns.—Mr John Hunter,
of the London road, is buying a large
number of lambs for delivery at New
Years, to fill a contract with a Liver-
pool firm: We understand that the
price paid is 3 c per lb. Some farmers
complain of this as being a very low
price, but it is evidently all that the
markets will allow.
How IT Is APPREOIATED.—The fol-
lowing letter explains itself: — "R.
Holmes, Esq.,—Enclosed find one dol-
lar to renew my subscription for the
NEW ERA for another year. Your ex-
cellent paper has long been a welcome
visitor to our home, we cannot keep
well posted in your section without it.
Wishing you increasing success and
prosperity, I am yours sincerely, J.
S. FISHER, Atwood. ,
BUSH FIRES.—Mr James Koine, who
last week spent a few days visiting at
Dashwood and Fansville, states that
the fire in the Hay swamp has been
something dreadful. Farmers have
had a trying time in keeping the fire
from their property, and yet there
have been considerable losses. Many
cattle have been burned, one farmer
had 400 cords of wood burned, and
notwithstanding the heavy rains the
fires still smoulder, and people expect
they will continue to do so until the
snow falls.
POLITICAL.—A meeting of the Exe-
cutive committee of the West Riding
Conservative Association was held in
Goderich on Monday; Mr Robt. Birm-
ingham, of Toronto, was present; the
nature of the business we have not
learned. A meeting of the Executive
of the West Riding Liberal Associa-
tion, for Dominionpurposes, will be
held at Goderich to -day, in connection
with the revision of the Dominion
Voters' List. Judge Toms is at present
revising the West Ridin lists and

DEPRECIATION• IN CREAMERIES.—
Somewhere about a year age a cream-
ery was established at Exeter at a cost
of $5,400 for building and appliances.
The plant was furnished by an Auceri-
can, who, seemingly got a big price for
it. He was ficent of speech, affable of
manner anal generous to a decree, and
he was quite anxious to establish one
in Clinton, A couple of meetings were
held and thelmatter thoroughly consid-
ered, hut was finally dropped as im-
practicable, much to the regret of the
American. Parties here who thought
of becoming shareholders will find food
for reflection in the statement that
last week the Exeter Creamery was
sold by auction for $1,300.
WHAT LIGHTNING DID.1-During the
storm of Friday night last lightning
struck.an unoccupied house situated
below the Grand Trunk station, and
set it on fire; as there was no way of
quenching it, although the rain fell in
torrents, the house was totallydestroy-
ed; it was owiied hy Mr Henry Thorn-
ton and insured for $300. During the
same storm lightning knocked the end
out of G. Swinbank's barn, on the Lon-
don road, and killed two head of cattle.
The electric fluid also destroyed the
connections of no less than 41 tele-
phones in town. In Cooper's Book
Store the lightning ran in on the tele-
graph wire and set fire to the window
sill, but fortunately went outbefore
doing much damage.
DEATH.—On Tuesday Mr Houston,
of Clinton Collegiate, was called to
Paisley by the unexpecteddeath of his
father, Mr Jas. Houston. Deceased
was one of the earliest settlers of the
township of Grennock, having gone
there in the year 1856, and tacking up
400 hundred acres of land; three years
ago he retired from farming and took
up his residence in Paisley. He was
always a strong, healthy man, and
three months ago was in Clinton in
the very best of health, although 78
years of age. He was an elder in the
Presbyterian church, a Liberal and
leaves a family of five sons—four in
Ontario and one in British Columbia.
Mrs May, who has been a resident of
this neighborhood for a good many
years, died on Wednesday mornin;,
aged 64 years. She was a daughter of
Mrs Davis, Mary street, and relict
of the late William May; for years she
was an active and zealous worker in
Rattenbury street, Methodist church;
she has been ailing for some time, her
illness producing mental aberration.
She leaves several sons and two daugh-
ters, they being scattered in different
parts of .the States. The funeral takes
place to -day at 2.30 p.m., from the
residence of Mrs Moffatt, North street.
A,rother old settler of this neighbor-
hood passed away yesterday, in the
person of Mrs McQueen, relict of the
late William McQueen. of the, London
road, near town. She has been ailing
for a couple of years with dropsy and.
heart failure, and lately has suffered
Most intensely. She was a member of
Willis' church, and leaves no family.
The funeral takes place at 1 p.m. sharp,
to -day.
Word was received here Wednesday
of the very sudden death of Roderick
Anderson, of Turtle Mountain, Man.,
formerly of Blyth, and Well known
around Here,

AcVIni�I4T,—On Sunday last wane
Mrs Whitley, wife of the Custom's
Collector, was driving in the country,
in company with a lady friend, the
cart crowded the horse, causing it to
kick. ' The occupants were thrown
out, Mrs Whitley having her le brok-
en and being otherwise injure; her
companion escaped with a few rlruises.
The cart was pretty badly broken be-
fore the horse was got under control.
NaTEe.--a paragrapl4 appeared in
the Toronto papers the other day stat-
ing that "William, son of Mr Arthur
Knox had been run over by a trolley
car," and several persons here thought
it had reference to Mr George Arthur
Knox, formerly of town, but we have
the best of authority for saying, that
such was not the case. The Evapora-
tor is running with a full staff of hands,
Mr Carling being in charge; they are
securing large quantities of "windfalls"
at from 20 to 40c per cwt., according to
size and quality. The wife of Mr Geo.
Potts, who has been for some time in
delicate health, leaves here on the 24th
for Detroit, to undergo treatment by
specialists in that city. The Indepen-
dent Order of Foresters haveaid the
insurance policy on the life ofthelate WE WILL SAVE YOU
A. H. Manning; this is the more com-
mendable from the fact that had the
officers desired to avail themselves of
a technicality it need not have been
paid. Mr Oliver Johnston now drives
a splendid roadster purchased from Mr
Welsh, an East Wawanosh farmer.
While returning from church on Sun-
daylMrs T. Levan happen to lose a pair
of spectacles. Mr Ed. Holmes has
rented the brick cottage near the
Presbyterian manse. Mr Granger,
from •Bayfield, has rented Mr R.
Welsh's cottage,' Orange St., and will
move to town. Dr.Freeborn has rented
the brick house on Rattenbury St. be-
longing to Mrs Whaley, and expects to
be settled in a few days, he purposes
having his office at the house for the
present. Mr Herb Walters has taken
a situation with. S. S. Cooper. Master
Bert Cook, of Flint, Mich., is visiting
friends here; he had the misfortune to i
lose his return ticket, but fortunately Good Dress Goods are worthy of a good dress maker. Miss
it was found and returned to him. Mrs Mickle, who is in charge of our Dress and Mantle making
Thomas, of Goderich, was up before
Mayor Butler, on Saturday, charged department, is at the head of her profession, and we
by Inspector Paisley with selling liquor guarantee workmanship, fit and style.
without a license; she plead guilty and p y
a tine of $50 and costs was imposed.
The Labor Day celebration committee,,
after settling all claims and liabilities,
have a balance of $17 to the good.
The original contract made by the
town with the Electric Light Co. ex-
pires the 1st of next month, but has
been renewed by the town council for
one year on the same ter ins as before,,
a special meeting being held for this
purpose on Monday evening. We un-
derstand that Cantelon Bros. are so
well pleased with the experiment of
shipping eggs to New York, that they
have decided to extend their.operatinns
=iirtlil l`feo hti. "The GrOZd lernplars,
at their meeting to -night, will debate
the question:—"If prohibition becomes
law, should liquor dealers be compen-
sated?" The Lacrosse Club, in its
match with Mitchell last Friday, were.
beaten by four straight; Clinton beat
Mitchell in a previous match, and is the
only team which has done so this,year.
Cantelon Bros. this week shipped a car
of apples to Winnipeg. About 150
tickets were sold here for Toronto Ex-
hibition this week. Mr Pedo, former-
ly of the Molsons Bank, was recently
married at Nanaimo, B. 0, if the
writer of the letter "One worthy of as-
sistance" sent to this office, will for-
ward his name, the letter may be pub-
lished, Miss C. A. Welsh, daughter of
Mr Ed. Welsh, of the London road,
was mart ied on Wednesday to Mr
Allan Sperling, of Goderich, formerly
of town. The Alvinston Free Press,
of a recent date, thus alludes to a well-
known Clintonian:—"Things are boom-
ing at Alvinston track; the horses, un-
der the skilful handling of our train-
er, J. B. Matthews, are improving
rapidly; there is quite a promisin
string of colts in his charge at present."
Inspector Paisley has added a neat
verandah to his house. Mr George
Cook is putting a stone foundation be-
neath his house on Orange St. The
old dwelling house, which has stood
unoccupied for some time just south of
the Rattenbury House, is being pulled
down, Captain Driscoll, who has been
seriously ill for several days, is able to
he out. The infant child of Mr James
Scott, which has been seriously ill, is
note recovering. Mrs W. Thornton,
who went to London hospii,al some
time ago, returned last week, much
improved in health. Mr Thos. Fow-
ler, of Tnckersmith, has latelybought
a lieintzinan piano from Mr George
Emerson. The merry-go-round has'
moved to Brussels, after a very suc-
cessful business here; the one that has
been here is sold to a party in Mitchell,
and two others are sold. At Toronto
Exhibition Mr Jas. Snell succeeded in
carrying off the 1st prize for his two-
year old imported stallion; this is no
small honor considering the competi-
tion. The Usborne correspondent of
the Stratford Herald says:—"Loving
hands have placed two beautiful monu-
ments in the Zion cemetery, the one
being in fond remembrance of William
and Eliza Johns, and the other mark-
ing the last resting place of W. Brock;
the workmanship speaks well "for the
Clinton marble works." Unless the
weather should happen to prove un-
favorable to -day, the Commencement
exercises of Clinton Collegiate will be
an interesting feature in connection
with the school. The Queen's Hotel is
receiving a coat of paint. Mr Phillips,
of London, Eng., was here on Wed-
nesday and bought a couple of horses;
one from Mr Adam Weir and one from
Mr Wiltse; quite a number were offer-
ed for sale, but they did not tome up
to his desires. Dr Bruce has geased
his semi-nlouthly viit• ' tar 'I3iiyfield.
Miss Jennie Armsttng, formerly of
Clinton, was married at Ontario, Cal.,
on the llth inst„ to Arthur Yarnell.
The regular meeting of the Home Cir-
cle will he held next Tuesday night.
Messrs Ogle Cooper & Co. will open
out their new grocery next Wednes-
