ACCIDENT.—One morning last week, while Della, the two-year old daughter of Mr Jacob Miller, was playing on the verandah, she fell to the ground, break- ing her leg above the knee. ABIe BROHEN.—On Thursday last, while the wife of.Mr R. Gagen was in the yard picking up a few ' sticks of kindling, she slipped, and put her hand out to save herself , with the re- sult that it was broken at the wrist. TRAVELLERS.—Town G.T.R. Agent Jackson ticketed the following:—Thos. Izzard to Eagle Grove, I.; Mrs R. K. Logan to East Saginaw; E. A. Booth to • Atlanta, Iowa; Geo. Simpson to Calgary; H. Joyner to Wagner, Ne- braska. PROMPT.—A few weeks ago a young man in town, who carries an Acacid'ent Policy yr ith the Travellers Accident Insurance Company, of which Mr I. Taylor is agent, met with an accident which laid him off 'Work for a few weeks, and about a week after his bis claim was put in, the agent handed him a cheque for the amount. FOOT BALL.—The pupils of the Col- legiate Institute organized a fbotball club on Monday evening; the officers elected were:—Hon. Pres., J. Houston; Pres., W. E. Rand; Vice Pres., M. Clegg; Sec. Treas., E. Cooper; Captain, L. Whitely; Committe, J. Holmes, F. Buggin, E. James. The enthusiasm which has prevailed during the last few years in football has again appear- ed, and a strong team is expected this fall. SNEAK THIEVES.—For the past few weeks farmers along the Huron road, near town, have had chickens stolen from them by the wholesale. People who have gardens on the Ransford estate have also had large quantities of vegetables stolen, and the thieves have destroyed about as much as they would take away. An example will be made of the first one caught, so they had better take warning. THE COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE COM- MENCEMENT.—Don't forget the second annual commencement of our Collegi- ate Institute, to be held on Friday, Sept. 20th. An excellent program of sports is being arranged for the after- noon. The 'evening concert, in the town hall, will consist of music, ad- dresses and presentation of prizes, dip- lomas and certificates. All interested in Institute work, and particularly xthe parents, are cordially invited. STILL THEY COME.—A few weeks ago the NEw ERA was advertised to new subscribers for 25c in advance to the end of 1895. A large number who can appreciate a good paper for little money have taken advantage of this offer, and we still hope to have a great deal larger number added to our list. The NEW ERA is exceptionally good value, as itgivesmore home news than any other paper in the county. If you already take it, send it to your friends till January. PROPERTY CHANGES.—Mr W. Core has purchased the dwelling house on Huron street, at present occupied by Mr John Stephenson, for the sum of $690; Mr W: Core and his sister, and probably his brother Walter, will take up their residence there, Mr Stephen- son moving to his other dwelling on Orange street, Mr Joseph Townsend, Tuckersmith, has bought the house on Queen street, formerly occ'rpied by the late•Wm. Coats, and will take up his residence here. • STILL OLIIgn1NG.—Mr G. Mowat, for some time the clever editor of the Oa- nadian Magazine, Toronto, has retired therefrom. The position is so import- ant, and calls for so much ability, that the trade papers have been wondering who would fill the vacancy. The di- rectors of the corhpany have selected Mr John A. Cooper as successor to Mr Mowat. Mr Cooper is the eldest son of Mr W. Cooper, of town, and has filled several journalistic positions al- ready, and it is no small honor indeed that in the field of literary men he is the one chosen for so responsible a position. Our congratulations go out to him.,.~ There's one step more to be taken, before the ideal is realized, and that, we believe, will come before very long, when he leaves the state of single "blessedness." A USEFUL AND NEEDED INVENTION. —That portion of the community in the habit of wearing corsets, have ex- perienced much discomfort and an- noyance by reason of the studs, which form the clasp, being so high that they wear through clothing, no matter how well protected they were. This diffi- culty existed in all patterns of corsets, but is now overcome by a simple in- vention of Mr J. C. Gilroy ,pf town. Mr Gilroy's invention is known as "rhe Perfection Corset Clasp;" and is a perfectly flat and secure fastening, so that the surface of the corset when fastened shows no prajecrion what- ever, but is as smooth in front as any other part of the corset. The inven- tion has been patented, and is regard- ed by corset makers as the very best thing in its line that they have seen. So valuable do they regard it that one large corset company has secured con- trol of it for Canada, paying Mr Gilroy a handsome figure therefor. HORSE STIhLEN.—On Saturday night some person entered -the barn of Mr McMordie, Kippen, and stole a horse and buggy; they drove it as far as Clin- ton and left it between the river and the railroad. The horse was found Sunday morning and Chief Wheatley supposing that'rt came from Kippen, sent word there, and the horse was soon returned. The thief took things very cool as he went into a room in the barn which had been fitted up as a bedroom for some builders, and stole therefrom some blankets. HOUSE OF REFUGE NOTES.—Great progress has been made toward the completion of the House of Refuge, on the interior. The plastering is nearly finished, and the rooms are trimmed with base, skirting architraves of solid and plain character, and well painted. The plumbing fixtures are now being placed in position, and a clean, well- Iaid-out job has been made. All the pipes, connections, traps, etc., are ex- posed and open to view on all sides, so that there is no opportunity of dirt ac- cumulating, nor can any leak or break occur without at once announcing it- self. In plumbing natters the inmates of the house will he much Netter off than the majority of the townspeople. The steamflt.ters are daily expected, to get in the radiators and connections. Drains and levelling will be finished, to get the building into good shape by the appointed time. RESOLUTIONS OF CONDOLENCE.—The following resolutions were passed at the last meeting of Clinton Lodge No. 88, I. O. 0. F.: --"The members of this Lodge wish to record their sincere sympathy with Bro. Malcolm Dowser in the great loss he has sustained by the sudden and unexpected death of his deeply latnen' ed ,mother. The re- moval by death of the mother from the family circle is at any time an event which arouses in the community feel- ings of the keenest commiseration, but when death comes with so sodden a stroke and without, warning carries a- way from a family alt eady bereaved of the father. the mother also. around whom the heart strings of the entire household are most closely entwined, the bereavement is almost overwhelm- ing. In this deep sorrow we extend to Bro. Dowser and his brothers and sis- ters .'our profound sympathy."—The memers of Clinton Lodge No. 88, I. 0. O. F., extend to Bro. Wm. Spooner their heartfelt sympathy in the be- reavement he has been called upon to suffer in the death of his aged father. We know that the sorrow which is felt by the loss through death of one so in- timately and tenderly related as the fa- ther is to his child, cannot he removed by the condolence of friends, yet our hearts are moved to the warmest bro- therly sympathy with you in your grief and loss," The End Is Near • There are: but seven days of this greatiClearance Sale left. On Saturday, Sept. 21st it ends. This sale has succeeded beyond our most sanguine expectations; it has been an un- qualified success from the very outset. We want to make these last seven days of it big with business, and to do it will make things interesting for every buyer. WEDDING.—The residence of Mr W. Robb, of town, was the scene of a very interesting gathering on Tuesday af- ternoon last, the occasion being the marriage of his daughter, Jean, to Rev. Harry C. Priest, B. A., of Toron- to. Only the immediate relatives of the contracting parties were present, a number being from a distance. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Geo. B. Foster, Ph. D., professor in the University of Chicago, a former teach- er of the groom. The service was characterized by beauty, simplicity and brevity, and at its close the guests retired to the dining -room, where a very pretty supper was served. The newly married pair left for Goderich in the evening, to take the boat for the Soo, where they will spend the honey- moon. They leave Canada for India about Oct. 16th, and will be stationed for a time at Tuni, Madras Presidency, as missionaries of the Canadian Baptist Telugu Mission. We join with others in wishing them much happiness and usefulness wherever their lot may be cast. THE DOHERTY ORGAN E%HIIIIT.— In its exhibition notes, the Mail -Em- pire, of Saturday, says:—"W. Doherty and Company, of Clinton, Ont., have a large display of organs in the Musi- cal pavilion, in fact it is the largest the company have ever made. The handsome and highly finished instru- ments are invariably the centre of at- traction. and elicit warm encomiums from everybody. The Doherty organs are not excelled anywhere, and their chief characteristics may be summed up as follows:—They excel especially in style. They excel especially in unique design. They excel especially in originality. They excel especially in aesthetic taste. The Doherty or- gans are pleasing, beautiful and ex pressive, and the tone is rich, full, round, pipe -like. The best dealers everywhere handle them, and the firm report business good. Their im- mense factories are taxed to the ut- most to meet the demand. The Doh- erty organs, have, indeed, caught •the populai,,,fancy." NOTES.—A pony belonging to Mr Whitely, Customs Officer, broke into an oat bin and ate so much that it died.
