ArtwAY.s' AWAKE. --The Brussels
Post says; -..The NSW ERA has jogged
past another milestone. As a news -
gatherer the Era can't be beaten and
we presume the Editor sleeps with one
eye open. Clinton business men give
`loyal support and reap good harvests
from their investments.
,::PEOPLE Wao TRAVEL. --Jackson's
Ticket Agency report the following
passengers:—Mr. J. P.Tisdall and wife,
an. Clemens; Rev J. W. Holmes and
wife, Mackinac; Geo. Adams, Brandon;
Miss Keane and Miss Kerr, Chicago;
Mrs O'Neil, Milwaukee; W, Harding,
Winnipeg. Miss McOorvie, Caro, Mich.
PREPARING THEMSELVES.—The Ex-
eter Advocate says:—Mr and Mrs D.
French, after visiting the different
houses of refuge, in Strathroy, Wood-
stock and Brantford, returned home
last week, with a store of valuable in-
formation appertaining to the duties
which devolve upon them, as caretak-
ers of the Huron House of Refuge, in
the near future,
EzeunsxONs.—The excursion,to Tor-
onto was not very well patronized last
week, due, perhaps to the fact that it
was not properly advertised. The For -
resters excursione.to Sarnia, on Satur-
day, which is now an annual affair,
seems to be a popular one, as it took 75
passenegers out of here, and was so
well patronized at northern points that
a special train was necessary for their
accomodation.
A LONG DRIVE — A gentleman had
his horse shod at Oliver Jchnston's, the.
other day, who was indulging in a ra-
ter extensive drive. He was a reei-
d nt of New York, and in company
w th his wife, had driven the entire
distance to Goderich. They were on
their homeward journey when they
stopped -here. It was the gentleman's
first trip into Canada, and he was de-
lighted with the country and the roads
ANOTHER RUNAWAY BOY—The Strat'
ford Beacon says:—James . McDowell,
whoseson has been missing from home
for two months, received word a few
days ago that a boy answering to the
description of the lost, lad was at a farm
house in North Eastlibpe. Mr McDow-
ell drove out and found that the boy
was not his, but of Clinton parents.
This boy too had run away from home.
[We cannot learn of any boy belong-
ing to Minton, who has left home, but
it is quite possible there may be such a
one.—En. NEW ERA.]
A CLINTON CONTRIBUTOR. — , rep-
resentative of Funk & Wagnal the
great. New York publishers, has been
taking orders for their dictionary here.
The different departments of this work ._
were edited by the most able men in
the United States, but it is worthy of
note that a Clintonian also had the
honor of contributing to the work,
thourf this name does not appear in it.
The definitions of Aboriginal terms
were supplied, we understand, by H.
Hale, Esq.. so well known as an author-
ity on Indian language.
ACCIDENT. — On Friday afternoon
last, while a number of people were
having a picnic at the river, an accident
happened which carne very near being
serious. Mrs James Finch and Miss
Trowhill were enjoying themselves on
a high swing, and while they were well
u p in the air, one end of the swing gave
way. Miss Trowhill hung on to the
rape, and had her fingers severely
C h rned by it running through her
h:tad, but Mrs Finch was less fortun-
ate, as she fell to the ground, alighting
on her shoulder and being rendered un-
conscious, Fortunately no bones were
t.1 r„kexr,
WELL TAKEN. — Saturday's Glebe
contains three illustrations of the late
Patrons' picnic in Tuckersmith. One
i' a well -taken front view of Mr James
Landsborough's house and family.
Another is a view of the crowd, taken
as t hey were sitting around the plat-
form; for a picture where the faces are
necessarily small, it is well -taken; Mr
James Landsborough is easily recog-
nized, standing to one side, and the
face of Mr James McMichael, as he
stands at the corner of the platform,
could be recognized anywhere. The
third picture is simply that of the 33rd
battalion Band,
IMPORTANT CHANGE.—We have be-
lieved for a long time that the cash sys-
tem in business is by all odds the best
way of running a business, and by de-
grees merchants are falling into line
in i-8 adoption. Several of our busi-
ness men who have adopted it, state
that under no circumstances would
they go back to the old credit system,
as the cash principle is better for both
buyer and seller. The enterprising
firm of Gilroy & Wiseman announce
their intention of adopting the cash
system on the 2nd of Sept., and every
one of the firm's customers should
stand by them in their enforcement of
it.
MOTHER'S BIBLE.—He was an old
gentleman, probably three score and
ten. His rugged features and calloused
hands told of long acquaintance with
weather and work, but disguised be-
neath his harsh exterior were credit-
at.lefeelings such as may not be found
in the roost exquisite putty -faced dude.
His wife died a few months ago, and
had requested that some of her person-
' al belongings be divided .among the
wives of ten sons,living in the States.
In shipping the articles from Clinton
it was necessary to make an inventory
of them, and in doing so the old gentle-
man broke down as he named the art-
icles belonging to his partner of many
years. The severest trial was his part-
ing with the old family Bible—moth-
er's Bible as he called it—though it
was commercially valueless. The old-
est son wished it especially. The old
man braced up saying: "Well, he was
always a good boy and he has not be-
lied the early training of hie poor moth-
er, when he wrote me saying that he
would be satisfied with only mother's
Bihle. Money could not buy it, but he
shall have it.'
ST V8N V . A EGILI.-sItidge Dq yle,
to whom this (lase was referred, has
reported in favor of thelarntiff,
awarding him the stun of $238,83, the
amount claimed by Mr Stevens, less a
few dollars. The judge finds all the is-
sues in favor of the plaintiff. This
judgment also carries cysts, which will
be a considerable item.
BUILDING NoTEB.—Messrs. Cantelon
and Hill are erecting .a brick -veneer
stable for Mr D. Cook, Albert St. Mr
Jos. Rider willput a stone foundation
beneath Mr Folland's house, Princess
St. Mr R..Heywood, with a staff of
men is pushing forward the brickwork
on Mr R. McMordie's residence at Kip -
pen. Mr P. Oantelon's new brick resi-
dence on Princess S. is being hurried
forward, and will be a decided im-
provement to that portion of the town.
The improvements to the school are all
completed except the putting in of the
furnaces: the work makes a great im-
provement. MrJames Twitchell isen-
larging his already commodious brick
residence by an addition of similar ma-
terial. Mr James Smith is also making
an addition to his house.
STOPPING THE PAPER.—'Twat a raw
gusty day, though it was about the
first of August., 1895, when the driver
of a grocery wagon attempted to stop
his paper. And it was not either of the
local papers. it was a big city daily
that he attempted to stop. He left his
rig on the street, and went into Coop-
er's hook store. He came out with the
paper loosely in one hand, and a gust
of wind swept the paper out of his
han j nd along the sidewalk. When
in fr t of Rattenbury's, the young
mans ddenly planted one of his num-
ber se ns where the paper had been a
second b in the hope of arresting
its progress, but unluckily, his own lo-
comotion was stopped, and he found
himself longitudinally covering a sec-
tion of the aforesaid sidewalk to the
extent of about sixty-six inches; and
the paper would'nt stop; on and on it
went. The young man recovering
himself, continued the pursuit, but
when about opposite the Whithead res-
idence he gave up the chase. He re-
turned to his rig, and putting whip to
horse, followed up the paper in its mad
career; and for aught we know to the
contrary, the race may be on yet.
DEATHS—D. A. Goodwin, one of the
Kincardine lacrosse team which played
against Clinton the other day, died a
coo le of days after the match.
D1rs Walter Manning, of town, was
called to Carleton Place, recently, ow-
ing to the serious illness of her father,
Mr James Gerrmill; she arrived there,
only to see him alive, he dying on Sun-
day, at thea age of 54 years.
Mr and Mrs Joseph Rattenbu ry
mourn the loss of a bright little year
old girl, whose happy prattle will be
greatly missed by them.
The wife of Mr John Scr utop, after
a lingering illness of several years, suc-
cumbed to her ailment, consumption,
oii Sunday last, at the age of 33 years.
Her death was looked for, as she had
been confined to her room for some
time, but she bore her sufferings with
the greatest resignation and peace.—
She was a daughter of Mr Chas. Mason,
a member of St. Paul's church, and
leaves one son. The Sons of England,
of which order Mr Scruton was a mem-
ber, showed their sympathy by attend-
ing the funeral in a body.
Mr John Titterington, one of the
oldest business men of St. Catharines.
died on Thurday; he was an uncle of
On Saturday afternoon last Mr Peter
Cantelon, sr., passed away at the age
of 78 years. Deceased has been in de-
clining health for some time, and his
death was, therefore, not unexpected.
He was one of the pioneers of Goderich
township, settling near Holnresville
about the year 1835, when the entire
neighborhood was one vast wilderness.
He gave up farming about the year
1869 or 1870, and took up his residence
in town. He was a native of Tipper-
ary, Ireland, a strong Orangeman, a
staunch Conservative, and a life-long
member of the Methodist church. He
was twice married, his second wife, a
daughter of Mrs Samuel Holmes, sur
vivinghinr. There was a large attend-
ance at the funeral on Monday.
NOTES.—Mr Harry Cade, builder, has
taken a situation at Chatham. Last
week we credited Mr A. T. Cooper, with
being a G. T. R. agent here; this is in-
correct, as Mr W. Jackson is the Grand
Trunk agent, Mr Cooper representing
the Canada Pacific. Mr Ferguson has
just imported a lot of first-class } Algo-
ma timber for pumps. On Sunday
evening Mrs Lavan lost a pair of spec-
tacles while on her way home from
church. Mrs Longman, late of Lond-
eshoro, in a note to this office, under
date of Lippentot, Man., Aug 1st,
says:—"I arrived here all right—had a
delightful trip; crops look very good,
harvesting will start in about three
weeks." Mr S. Smith shipped a quan-
tity of stock on Wednesday. Mr Can-
telon ships a number of hogs on Mon-
day next. Mr Thomas Brown, one of
the most highly esteemed residents of
East Wawanosh, was a caller at this
office on Friday, on his way to visit
friends in Stanley; Mr Brown has been
in poor health for some time, and we
shall be very glad to hear of his restore
ation. Mr Hutchinson and family, late
of Kincardine, have taken up their res-
idence here. Mr George Hanley has
had a successful operation performed
on his eyes in Toronto, and his -ight
has been materially improved. Thos.
H. McCartney, of Goderich Township,
leaves next Tuesday on a trip to Sour-
is, Man., and is ticketed by A. O. Pat-
ison. If the party who borrowed Mr
R. Ransford's ladder during his absence
from town, would kindly return it, Mr
Ransford will feel obliged to him. The
Reeve, chairman of the street Commit-
tee, and others went out to inspect the
gravel pit, on Tuesday evening, but
came to the conclusion that it, would
not pay or be safe to do anything with
it. In the window of Fairs book store
is shown a mammoth picture, being
the Class of 1895, of the First city Busi-
ness College; to Clintonians the most
prominent figure is that of Miss Mona
Freer, formerly with the Salt;Associa-
tion, now a teacher • rn the College.
Mr D. A. Forrester is the latest addi-
tion to the cyclist ranks. The cricket-
ers visited London on Friday and were
defeated by the asylum team of that
city. The Collegiate Board meets to-
nigbtrfor the appointment of a success-
or to MrlCoombs. When Mr McBeath
completes the House of Refuge barn,
this will be the ninth he has finished
up this season. The friends of Mrs J.
Cuninghame will he pleased to it now
that she is recovering from her ecent
serious illness. AVe are pleased , o see
that Miss M. Gi is now able to be out
after her long, a vere illness. Mr. A.
M. Burchill,for erly of town, has been
engaged on t' a staff of Ilurk's Falls
Training Insti rite.
