George and 'William Spooner, who were called home by the death of their father, Me Thomas Spooner, are young men who have pushed their way upward in the 'west. One is an engineer on the C. P. R., and the other is a section foreman. THEY DOUBT IT. -Our Brucefield correspondent last week stated that Messrs Munro and Collins, of that vil- lage, had dressed a beef in 13 minutes. A couple of young men in town state that it cannot be done in that time, and are willing to back up their opinion with money. Further they say they can beat the Brucefield men any day in the week, and are willing to try a tussle with them. RETURNED.—Mr Israel Taylor, after a two menthe' visit to Manitoba, re- turned to Clinton on Tuesday. He thinks that one cannot say too much about the magnificent crops there this year; he says also, that twice as many laborers have gone there that there is any need for; although he enjoyed the trip immensely, he concludes that "Clinton is plenty good enough for him." MODEL SCHOOL TEACHERS. - The County Board of Examiners met in Goderich, on Saturday, to assign the different teachers for training at the Goderich and Clinton Model Schools. It, s said that some of the pupils had expressed a preference for one of the schools, but the Board thought it best to make an equal division rtetween the two schools, and, therefore, allotted about 30 to each. MIGHT HAVE BEEN WORSE. -One • slay last week Mr Coltman, of town, and Miss Dulmage, of St. Marys, were enjoying a row on the lake, off the shore where the campers were; the wa- ter was pretty rough, and in attempt- ing to come to shore, a huge wave struck the boat broadside and swamp- ed it, when about 150 yards from shore. Fortunately both managed to secure a hold upon the boat, and hung on un- til the boat was carried by the waves to shore. BEATEN AGAIN. -The Bell Telephone Company has always appealed against the assessment of its plant in this town, and when the appeal came up for hear- ing before the late Judge Toms, he de- cided on each occasion against the • Company. This year an appeal was again entered against the assessme and the result was looked for 'w great interest, simply because the op ion of Judge Doyle was unknown. However, the matter was argued be- fore him, Mr James Scott representing the town, and the townspeople will be glad to know that the Judge's decision is in favor of the town. STONE CROSSINGS. -This town has found that well -laid stone crossings stand all the heavy traffic that they are subject to, do not require much re- pairs, and are more economical and serviceable than those made of timber; consequently stone crossings are re- placing others wherever the timbers become worn. The one just laid down from Cook's feed store to Miller's shop, Albert St., is a decided improvement over the timber, and when three others are completed in different parts of the town, this will finish the stone -work to be done this year. INCORRECT. -Last week the NEW ERA alluded to the clashing of the Huron Central and Turnberry Show dates, intimatingg that it was unfortu- nate the latter should'have selected its dates after those for Clinton had been announced. In this we did an unin- tentional injustice to the Turnberry Society, which has its date set by by- law of the Directors, and it has been held on those dates for the past 15 years, namely,the last Tuesday in Sep- tember and thWednesday following. However, these being the same dates as the Huron Central, our readers should bear th‘m in mind and make their choice adcordingly. IN PECULIAR PLACES. - Division Court, in thio county are occasionally held in unusual places. Quite recently the place in Brussels where the court usually sat, was occupied for some other purpose, and the session was, therefore, held in one of the Presby- terian churches. On one occasion court was held in the Orange Hall, Blyth, Judge Doyle presiding. Im- mediately over the judicial chair hung the historical picture of King William. After the court was over, sprue one, knowing the judge's religious views, jocularly remarked that "he (lid not think the Jude would sit beneath King William. The Judge stated that he was unaware of the circum- stance at the time, but it made no dif- ference to him where the court was held. BlYSINESS CRA GEs.--After being in mercantile life continuously for about 40 years, Mr John Jackson retires from -the boot and shce business, and is suc- ceeded by the firm of Jackson & Jack- son. composed of Mr Will Jackson, of town, and Mr Fred Jackson, late of Omaha. The new firm is overhauling the store, and open for business to- morrow; they are well known as enter- prising, progressive young men, and will doubtless secure their share of the trade. Mr R. J. McDonald, for sonic time a member of the firm of Jackson Bros., retires therefrom. and ttrkcs the inter- ere.t of Mr J.'S. Jackson in t he tir•rn of Jackson & G}reig, Seaforth. t he style of the new firm beingOreig & iiardonald. Mr Macdonald is a good business man, somewhat (inlet and .tialeclrirring' it zealous worker in the Preshyterlan Sabbath School, and the people of Sea - forth will find him an excellent citizen. Mr James S. Jackson, of Se'eoi't11, returns to Clinton, and takes an inter- est its the firm of Jackson Bros., with which he was originally connected. He will have charge of the Woollen acid Furnishing departments, branches With which he is thoroughly familiar. RAPID QRowTR.--The of er :day we were shown a couple of stalks of corn, cut on the Raneford farm, that ineas- ured about 12 feet lu length. They were not•only very tall, but were the growth of two months and 13 days, TRAVELLERS. -Mr 5, .1. Armstrong, who has been visiting at Toronto, Brantford, Clifford and Clinton for the last four weeks left Tuesday morning for his home in North Ontario, Califor- nia, going by C. P. R., Wabash and Santa Fee routes. Mr Gen. Elliot, B. A., also left for ban Diego, Cal., going by the same route as Mr Armstrong. Mr and Mrs Knox, Auburn, and Mr A. Innis, Stanley, left for Manitoba, on Tuesday. They were ticketed by A. T. Cooper, agent C.P.R HOUSE OF REFUGE NOTES. - The barn is just now completed, and Con- tractor McBeth is deserving of great credit for the manner in which he has carried out his contract: the work is a credit to himself and his sub -contract- ors and workmen, and will add to his already good reputation as a skilful mechanic and honest contractor. Mr R. Cudmore, of Hensel!, carne back and built the internal walls of the root horse, completing the masonry in a sfrong and satisfactory manner. It is -hoped that the extensive circulation of the ERA will help to correct the wrong impression which has gone abroad con- cerning Mr Cudmore's position inrre- gard to this contract. The committee has let the work of forming the ap- proach to the barn to Mr McCuaig. In the House the rough cost of plaster is nearly all on, and that rut on first is dried enough to trim ou; this has been commenced and the sash is glazed and ready to be put in. The plumbing is progressing steadily, and other smallworks have been done. Mr A. Chrys- tal, of Goderich, was down yesterday to see about placing the holier which is made in his works; it will be ready for the inspection next week, and is a fine piece of workmanship. In spite of the notice issued in the columns of the ERA quite a crowd of people trespass- ed, and -did a tor, of damage to the up- per part of the building; it is to be pre- sumed that they are not readers of the newspaper or they would not do so. NOTES. -Messrs Cantelon & Hill have the contract of doing the brick work and plastering for T. Wallace's new house, lake shore, Goderich township. The dog days have not been very op- pressive this year. Monday, 2nd Sept., is the next holiday -Labor Day. A Denver paper of a recent date contains an account of the reception tendered Rev. E.

Messrs Rens- ford report a magnificent yield of bar- ley, so large that they are afraid to announce it lest they might be accused of exar-geration. Mr Ed.

Mrs Robt. Hunt, of Kippen, who was ill for some time at the residence of Mr H. Hunt, is now much better, being nt, able to sit up.

Chief of Police Windred„ of Sarnia, (a relative of Mr J. C. Miller) was a guest at the Hotel Clarendon this week, Miss Ella Cor- bett, who has beeh quite ill for several weeks, is now much better. A couple of cases of more than ordinary interest come up for trial at the Division Court to -day. When Constable Wheatly has any special work to perform at some distant part of the town, he plac- es about 200 lbs. of humanity astside a bicycle, and hurries thither; next thing we shall hear of will be Inspector Pais- ley looking after the licenses in the same manner, provided he call get one long enough. Conductor Klophell, of Toronto, (well-known here), who has been laid off for a couple of weeks, with inflammatory rheumatism, is only now able to put his clothes on. The excur- sion to Sarnia tomorrow is likely to draw quite a crowd. Ben Tomlinson is able to get around again after his illness, but finds it necessary to use a cane.
