ACCIDENT.—While Mr J. Croft leas returning home in a waggon Wednes- day afternoon, his horse got frighten- ed at a dead horse on the roadside, and ran away, throwing the occupants out. The result was a shaft and other parts of the waggon being broken, but no injury to the occupants. THE WARDEN'S COMMITTEE. --The members of the Warden's Committee were called to Goderich, on Monday, to consider what action be taken cor- cerning the Morris bridge award. On the part of some there was at first a disposition to appeal from the decision of Justice Meredith—which decided favorably to Morris township—but it was finally decided to offer a com- promise. LioHTNINo STORM.—A terrific thun- der and lightning storm was experi- enced here on Tuesday night. The north gable end of the Rattenbury Street Methodist church was struck, but no damage done beyond tearing off some of the shingles; this is the second time the church has been struck by lightning. The electric wires were broken and the connections of quite a number of telephones burnt out. A couple of fires in Hay and Tuokersmith were quite plainly visible. RAILWAY NOTES. — The passenger traffic to London, this week, has not been excessively heavy from this sta- tion, about 125 tickets in all having been sold; the traffic along the line however seems to be great. Mr S. - Smith shipped two ars of cattle on Wednesday. Conductor Walmsley is taking his old run on the London, Ru- ron & Bruce, but he is not fully recov- ered from his recent severe illness. Bell & Mason imported a car load of hay this week. CONCERT.—The hest concert that has been given in Clinton for some time, is announced for the 2nd day of the Huron Central Fair, Wednesday, Sept. 25th. Mrs K.J.B. htanbury, of Toron- to, known to many of our readers as Fairy Morgan, will both recite and sing. Mrs S;.anbury is now one of the star singers,. and will no doubt be very much appreciated by her old friends in Clinton. Mrs Julian Wall has also been secured, and will give two solos in her usual good form. Mrs Hoover and other local ladies will also assist. Mr Harry Rich, of Toronto, Canada's most popular comedian, vocalist, cari- caturist and refined entertainer, will give several selections. R. A. Downs, R. B. Foster and W. Harland also take prominent parts. Plan of hall now open at cooper's Book Store. b nton Q� iv era I leis a special price •which does not ap�/ AV FRIDAY, SEPT. 20, 1895. best ,LOCAL NOTICES.

FIRE: A small fire occurred in the room occupied by Misses Tebbutt & Cudmore, dressmakers, on Wednesday afternoon, by a coal oil stove upsetting and setting fire to some patterns, but it was soon extinguished. UNDgRTAKERS.—Last week Messrs J. W. Chidley and J. U. Stevenson were in attendance at the annual meet- ing of the. Undertakers' Association of Ontario at Toronto. Mr Stevenson was honored with the second Vice - Presidency. PEOPLE .WHO TRAVEL.—W. Jack- son, town agent G. T. R., reports the following travellers during the past week:—Ben. Anderson, Chicago; J. T. Holdsworth, Philadelphia; the Misses RiaLardson, New York; Henry Kerr; Fargo, Dak.; Geo. McVittie and W. Simpson, Madison, Neb. WHY NOT IN CLINTON?—Mr John Burgess, Secretary of the Bluevale Cheese and Butter Co., writes a com- munication advocating the establish- ment of a cheese fair in W in'gham. Why not establish one at Clinton? It is a central point, and there are sever- al factories in this vicinity that would contribute to its success. • HOUSE OF REFUGE SUPPLIES.—The time for receiving tenders for certain supplies for the House of Refuge ex- pires ti;morrow. There are likely to be a large ri imber of tenders, not only from local parties, but also from per- sons in Toronto. The committee has not yet been called together to deal with these, but it likely will be in a few days. LONDON WINS.—A good . game of bowls was played at London, on Mon- day, between 2 rinks from Clinton and 2 rinks from the LondonBowling Club, resulting in the following score:—No 1 rink — Clinton — G. McTaggart, 3. Johnson, W. Jackson, J. P. Tisdall, skip -18. London—D.Ryan, J. Weld, J. Pope, J. S. McDougall, skip-23.— No. 2 rink—Clinton — W.Taylor, W. W. Farran, T. C. Bruce, D. A Forrest- er, skip -8. London—Col. Fisher, R. Reid, jun., M. J. Kent, E. Weld, skip —30. Majority for Londpn,27 shots. QUITE A BUSINESS.—A McKillop correspondent of the Seaforth Sun says:—"Mr Hoare, of Clinton, has been through this section, lately and has sold a large number of his piano toned dnleirri'ers. ` Mr Hoare appears to be an honorable business man and his musical instruments have brought increased joy to many homes." We might add to this that Mr Hoare's busi- ness in manufacturing dulcimers is assuming important proportions. Last year he sold about $300 worth, and as this is a sort of recreation outside of his regular occupations, it will be seen that it is aprofitable side line. LEAVING.—Mr B. P. Sibley, for sev- eral years head tuner at the Doherty Organ Factory, has decided to return to the United States, and will make his future home in Georgia. Mr Sib- ley will be missed in town, especially in musical circles, his services always being gladly given to any entertain- ment, and in addition "being associate - leader of the Rattenbury St. Metho- dist choir, and leader of the singing in the same Sabbath School. In social circles both Mr and Mrs Sibley have been the life of many pleasant gather- ings, and they will carry away the esteem of a large circle of friends. Miss Sheppard, so long connected with the News -Record, goes to New Haven, Conn. The NEW ERA has no hesitation in bearing testimony to her efficiency and genial qualities, having had business relations with, but we are a little surprised that so good a Conservative can willingly annex her- self to the United States. However, our best wishes accompany her, even if she does violate her own p• itical principles. Mg CLINTON'. NEW E1tA The First of The New Millinery SLIGHTLY IMPURE.—The town situated as it is without any unple ant surroundings, has been looked u on as the onelace in particular where good, pure, drinking water could be obtained. Persons having wells of their own, and thinking they might not be as clean as desirable. have used the town well in preference, and even persons who have no affinity for water have "slackened their thirst and moist- ened their parched lips" by copious draughts from this delectable source. Everybody was unanimous in the opinion that there was no water as good as that of the town well, until -- well, until last week, when it was de- cided to clean the well out. Some or- dinary rubbish was brought up, to- gether with a couple of dead rats, and frogs, quite sufficient to show that the well was not previously quite as pure as most people would wish it to be. NEWSPAPER NoTEs.—Mr D. Saun- dere, late of the Wroxeter Advocate, has started the Fordwich Telephone, an eight -page paper, and the first issue appeared last week. The publishing of a paper in a place the size of Ford- wich is an experiment that not many would care to make. It seems that he would have been better in Wroxeter. It is -said that a third paper is to be started in Wingham. There is no room for a third paper; there is no opening for one, and the pontest for life will likely resolve itself into an illegitimate cut-throat struggle injuri- ous to all. If the Wingharn people ever expect to have good papers they must support the ones they have. Mr J. W. Green, of Mildmay (son-in- law of Mr °roll) is thinkirt$ of starting a paper at Tavistock, This lively vill- age has no newspaper, and Mr Green will endeavor to fill the long -felt want." He has the energy and ability, if he only has the sand to tide over the monotony of life in a small place. Miss Eva Croll will, for a time, assist in its production. We will make our opening display of Fall and Winter Millinery on the Evening of • ¶ 5c. will secure the NEW EIU to the end of the e f Tuesday, Sept 24, NOTES.—Mr John Jackson has been confined to the house for several days, but is now better. It was stated in our council report a couple of weeks ago that Mr Jas. Ferguson had receiv- ed $4 charity; this was entirely a mis- take in copying; the amount was sim- ply chargeable to the "charity ac- count," and was for work done by Mr Ferguson. Miss Mary Southcombe, who ,has been laid up for several days, is getting better. Anuitrg the prize winners at the Toronto Fair, in cattle, were Gaunt & Sons, St. Helens, and Thos. Russell, Exeter. The Photo- graph Association of Canada offered prizes for groups of twenty portraits; one of theprize winners is Mr 3. F. Jackson, of Barrie, (son of Mr John Jackson, of town) a graduate of Fost- er's studio. Clinton and Goderich base bailers played a game at Goderich, on Thursday last, the score standing 24 to 18 in favor of Goderich. The case of Scott vs. Pike comes up for trial at Goderich this week. Mrs Reid, below the foundry, is, 'we regret to say, ser- iously ill. The wife ot Mr W. Alex- auder, who has been quite sick, is now better. Mrs Sturdy, mother of Mi s S. Pike, has been seriously ill for several day, and is yet very low; she is one of the piogeer residents of Goderich township. The changes and improve- ments to the Public School, in the way ot furnaces, etc., are now complete, and it is likely a special rneeting of the hoard will be held on Monday concern- ing the matter; the work, so far as known, is perfectly satisfactory. Last week Mr Will Shipley lost three horses, supposedly from impure wa- ter; this is a pretty serious loss as they were of his best working horses. Mr E. Taylor, who has the workshop on wheels, mores to Seaforth on the 30th. Mr Will Dowzer, late of town. has taken a situation in Detroit. Messrs Seale & Hoover, of Clinton Marble Works, last week put up a beautiful granite monument in Exeter cemetery, to the memor , of the late Leonard Hunter. Mr templates the s.eciallfor hos.

Mr Weeks, of Exeter, is aprize winner at the Western Fair, in the art de- partment, and Mrs C. Campbell, of Goderich, figures prominently in the "Ladies' work department." Mr Jas. Ford will move on his farm next spring unless he goes into business in the inte- rim. Messrs Kay and Switzer expect to return to their studies at Detroit Medi- cal College about the lst of October. The other day the wife of Mr T. C. Ed- munds fell and sustained a very severe sprain of the ankle; at first it was thought that the limb was broke a. The daughter of Mr Menzies, who has been seriously ill. is now Netter. Mies L. Washington is delayed in Toronto by illness in her brother's family. Mr Geo. Emerson sold a couple of Ben.Hur cycles to a party in Toronto List week. Mr H. Stevens bas the cont, act of building a new house for Mr D. Gard- ner; he has nearly completed his con- tract in connection with Mr P. Cantel- on's new house.
