RETURNED. — Messrs Hunter and
Copp, who went to the old country
recently with a caro of lambs, re-
turned last week. The had a splendid
trip both ways.
No Loos.—Owing to the heavy
snow Stapleton Saw Mills complain
that they have no elm logs, as usual,
froin Goderich township; they had
hoped to lay in an extra supply.
REMEMBERED,—The Morden Herald
says:—"On the occasion of his marriage
last week, Mr A. E. Sinclair was pre-
ssoted by his friends with a very
handsome parlor suite. Many other
gifts found their way to the new home,
accompanied with the best wishes of
the donors, for the health, happiness
and prosperity of the young couple.
*SIIr Sinclair r the husband of Miss
[usie Rumball, late of Clinton.]
FROST FLOWERS.—During the et•-
eessive cold weather of last week, the
plate glass window of the NEw ERA
office was a source of attraction, owing
to the beautiful flowers formed thereon
by the frost. The glass is nearly 8x10
feet, and it has been covered by the
most beautiful formations conceivable,
all as natural in appearance as ordi-
nary plants. Many explanations have
been attempted for thehenomena, but
none of these account forpit.
CHARITY` CONCERT.—The ladies of
she W.C.T.U. offer an excellent pro-
gram, well varied and select, for the
harity Concert, to be given in the
town hall to -night, Friday. The object
of the concert is a laudable one; the
committee are greatly in need of funds,
and no easier method of helping the
deserving poor, and at the same time
getting value for the outlay, can be
suggested, than attendance at the
concert, .All pupils of the Collegiate
of' public school will be admitted for
lOe, and the general admission is 25c.
The object and program warrants a
-paclfed house.
SALT MEN IN SESSION.—The salt
men of Western Ontario held a meet
ing at the Tecumseh House, London,
an Monday. This was the third meet-
ing within a month, the object being
td consider matters of the trade
Among the manufactures present
were Rev Dr. Armstrong, Moore; John
° Ransford, • Clinton; E. C. Coleman,`
Seaforth; Wm. Gray, Seaforth; J. C.
Carter, Sarnia. The meeting lasted all
day and was, of course, held behind
closed doors. A committee was ap-
pointed to wait upon the Ontario Salt
Company, of Kincardine, and . the
Windsor Salt Company, concerning
questions of detail in shipments. The
meeting then adjourned until the sec-
retary receives a report from the com-
mittee.
OPEN OR BALLOT VOTE.—At the last
meeting of the town council it was
proposed, when selecting the officers
for the year, to vote by ballot. The
proposal was not acted upon, it being
uncertain if such a course would be,
legal. The matter is not governed by
statute, there being no provision there-
for, as far as we can find out, but gen-
erally, in all legislative bodies, the cuss
tom is to take an open vote, it being
assumed that, as representatives of the
people, they have a right to know how
their representatives vote. At the last
meeting of Wingham council, however,
the Chief of Police was selected by bal-
lot, and in answer to a question as to
the legality or otherwise of such a vote,
the London Free Press states that, by
resolution, any council may decide as
to whether it shall take an open or
ballot vote.
A NARROW ESCAPE.—On Thursday
night, as Mr J. P. 'Tisdall was about
retiring, the odor of smoke in his resi-
dence indicated somewhere the pre- to
Bence of an unknown fire. A careful co
investigation revealed ncthing more
than the presence of smoke, and he
concluded that the pipes were dirty,
and the sooty odor emanated there-
from. Early next morning, the ser-
vant started to go down cellar, but a
volume of smoke drove her back, and
she hurriedly called Mr Tisdall, who
found that the cellar joists were in a
roaring blaze. A few pails of water,
however, 'soon obviated what came
near being a most serious affair. It
seems that there is a concrete "d'imp"
beneath the parlor Frale, and the joists
beneath the concrete had gradually
burned into charcoal. which ignited.
The fire evidently smouldered all night.

TRIFLES, ---It was a slip o`l the pen
when a correspondent mentioned that
we had had some'coaldweather, but he
wasn't very far from the truth for all
that. A party asking for charity the
other day, actually wanted some to-
bacco in his supplies; it is needless to
say he did not get it. The Toronto
Saturday Night has left itself open for
a number of suits for damages by
members of the Press Association, by
the publication of its alleged portraits.
The man who hauls wood to town this
season earns all he receives for it. A
little less cold and a little more gold has
been the national cry this winter.
TEMPERANCE.—The I. 0. G. T. are
koing to do a good thing. For fear
that you may not be able to guess what
it is, we will tell you, on the evening
of Friday March lst, they are going to
treat all who will come to their hall.
The treat will be a program of music
and speeches. It is expected that one
of the officers of the Grand Lodge will
be present; as it is not often that we
are favored with a visit from one of the
Grand officers we hope the temperance
people, and, in fact, all interested, will
not miss this chance. There will be a
further announcement in a later issue.
COLLEGIATE NOTES.—This term is
nearly half gone. In the upper forms
there may already be seen many
evidences of the coming fray in which
the craftyupil, by the wisdow of his
answers will astonish the stupid exam-
iners. The storms of the past week
affected the attendance to a slight ex-
tent. We wish, however, to intimate
to the weather -maker that Collegiate
pupils have stout hearts and strong
frames, and if he has any intention of
keeping the pupils at home he will have
to send something worse than he did
last week. The courage of some pupils
who came from a distance is particu-
larly commendable. They faced the
roughest weather and may be called
bricks. After the storm— big red ears,
skinned noses, out door exercise, com-
fort. •
NOTES.—The old friends here of Miss
Kate Mosgrove, of Toronto, will be
orry to hear that she is suffering from
a complaint which has carried pff reve-
al members of the same family—con-
umption. The last number of the
Chicago, Blade contains a portrait of
oldy Pike and his dog cart, he having
arned distinction as a news -agent for
that paper. Frost-bitten ears, noses,
heeks, hands, etc., were no novelty
est week, numbers of people having
ome part of their anatomy thus touch -
d. Some of the papers are still .pub-
ishing an item to the effect that pri-
ate post cards are illegal; inquiry at
ny post office would prove to the con•
rary. Mr Brewer gives an exhibition
f stereopticon views at Hensen, this
vening. Mr C. W. Graves, the popu-
ar travelling passenger agent of the
rand Trunk Railway, paid a visit to
own last week; Mr Graves is a hustler
fter business, and looks after the in-
terests of the G.T.R. with a keen eye.
uring the terrific storm of Friday

ad a rough experience, getting lost in
he fields twice, on his way from Exe-
er to Clinton; it was a wonder he got

CLINTON
A
SQUARE
TALK
BUSINESS CHANOE. — Clinton this
week loses a couple of most estimable
young men by their removal to Blyth
to engage in business. We allude to
Mr James McMurchie, son of Reeve
McMurchie, and Mr H. T. Rance, who
have bought out the banking business
of Messrs Lucas, Tanner & Co. Both
these young men have resided in Clin •
ton all their lives, and their reputation
for sterling honesty, integrity, and
thorough uprightness is without a
stain. Both have been brought up
with a practical training to the bank-
ing business, are familiar with all ith
details, and without any hesitation or
reservation whatever, we recommend
them to the favorable consideration of
the business men of Blyth. We have
had business relations with both these
young men for some years, and can
only speak of them in terms of unstint-
ed praise and admiration. Their capi-
tal and banking credit is amply suffi-
cient for all demands that may be
made upon them, and while we are at
all times pleased to see our young men
branching out for themselves, we re-
gard their removal from town as a dis-
tinct loss, because young men of their
business capacity and standing are a
gain to any community. Our very
est Wishes go with them.

for the owner. The regular meeting of
the Home Circle will be held on Tues-
day, loth inst. A small fire occurred
at the residence of ex -mayor Doherty,
the other day, but it was discovered be-
fore it had made much headway. The
Public School board met on Monday
evening; PrincipalLough's report show-
