ACCIDENT... --On Thursday evening of last week, the second son of Mr Thos. McKenzie had a narrow escape from serious injury. The horse he was driv- ing ran away, but he pluckily held on to the lines; as the horse plunged into the factory yard, the waggon struck a post, throwing the youth out, the wheels passing over him. He was pretty badly bruised, but escaped with- , out any broken bones. TIME To DRAW THE LINE.—Every season newspapers receive notices of Race meets and other sporting events all over the country (accompanied by a press badge,)and asking for free insert- • =ton of the same; now the NEW ERA has done all the free advertising it proposes to do in this line. We will use our own budgrent about notices for local events, ut will not do -any more press -badge advertising for outside concerns. AN OLD CLINTONIAN.—Mr Angus ' Johnston, of Stratford, was in town t last week, shaking hands with his many old friends. • It is 18 years since he left here, buthd look's as young as the day he left.

Mr Johnston is now amember of the firm of Mowat & Johnston, coal dealers. TEMPERANCE MEETING...

STATISTICS.—The report of the regis- tration of births, marriages and deaths for the year 1893, has just been issued. In Huron there were 1325 births in that year, 417 marriages, and 622 deaths.— Huron had more births in July than in any other month, there being 131. Of the marriages contracted 294 of the par- ties were Presbyterian, 292 Methodist, 1,3 Episcopalians, 39 Roman Catholic. More marriages take place in December .than any other month, 57 being credit- ed thereto. The largest number of deaths in one month was 68 in April. THE SEASON.—We do not remember any season in which the miracle of the ring has displayed itself more aston- ishingly and delightfully. Where, a fortnight.ago, there were forests of bare poles, to -day the trees "stand dressed in living green," Vegetation has made' wonderful progress and grass is much farther ahead of what it usually is. The rain of Saturday was a grand one, but the fall in tempera- ture was alarming—a' change of 50 de- grees between morning and night. r.

In the evening he asked for a 'Might's lodging, (beings stranger here), and Constable Wheatly made him Comfortable in one of the cells. In the morning, when Mr Wheatley went to let him out, he found the man lying dead on the bench. In accordance with the statues, Coroner Shaw em- panelled a jury and hnld an inquest. The evidence disclosed that during the day he had been seen to take several morphine pills, (a bottle containing some being fouppd on his person) and a verdict was rendered to the effect that he came to his death by apoplexy and as the result of self-administered mor- phine. He had a couple of brothers residing at Seaforth, very respectable persons, and they took charge of the body. l.hio I'ING} .A,Wnx.---During the past 18 mouths four prominent members of the town council have passed away, riz= -- Messt•a.

In th agara section the loss will be enorm The fall wheat is not far enough vanced to beinjured.

J 000 We're not saying much about our Carpet business, but we're doiag this spring the biggest Carpet trade in our history. Perhaps it's because we have the biggest stock, perhaps it's because we have the best patterns, perhaps it's because we have the newest designs and colors, perhaps it's be- cause we have the best values, perhaps it's because we have room and light so people can see just what they buy, per- haps it's because we make and lay all carpets bought here free of charge, perhaps all these things together are the reasons, any -way we're getting the business, getting it by giving value and satisfac- tion to every customer.

Estate. 0 INS CLINTON IHE daily papers lately reported Mr Balfour, the Conseryative leader, i n the British House of Com- mons, as having said at a press dinner that, "In my judgment, all the machinery used in communicating informa- tion to the public, is not of really more importance to the community at large than the power of the people to corn_ municate by advertisement, and to bring the buyer and seller together, and to give them the machinery for communicating their wishes to one another." Mr Balfour was speaking general:y, to speak about a particular instance, and to illus- trare he would say that it is a blessing that such a thing as advertising exists, as it enables the people of C;inton and vi- cinity to know that For actual value the line of TROUSERS$3.50 Jackson Bros. make to your order is yet to be equalled. The goods are of a Scotch check pattern. The quality is of the wearing kind. The price is the most interesting feature, $3.50 a pair, made to your order. .A CKSON BROTIEEES, Clothiers and Fu'nishers, Clinton. Your Business. Our : Business.
