ed critical, but he is now out of dan-
ger. Mr H. Plumsteel, sr., has been

wind tip the fair season. The next
sitting of the Division Court will be on

ON HIS WAY -TO THE POOR HOUSE.
The other day Mr W. Young, the jo-
vial ex -Reeve of' Colborne; called at
the NEw ERA office, and asked to be
directed tla the Poor House. We do
not wish our readers to imagine that
there is any likelihood of Mr Young
ever becoming an inmate of this insti-
tution, but as he happens to be the
person who first brought the matter
up in the Coesityy Council many years
ago, he naturally, felt an interest in
the progress of the building.
OnnFELLosissurcaaMrFred. Allcock,
P.G., of Clinton lodge, and who was a
delegate to the meeting• of the Grand
Lodge in Hamilton, on Tuesday gave
an interesting account of the proceed-
ings; the order has a membership of
over 000,000, of which a large percen-
tage i irttOntario. On Wednesday
night tile• •'Degree team of Clinton
lodge visited Seaforth lodge and gave
the let Degree; Hensall lodge giving
the 2nd Degree. The members were
entertained at Seaforth lodge, before
returning.
ELECTRIC IMPOVEMENTS. - A new
70 horse power boiler, has been added
to the improvement of the Electric
Light Oompany, and an addition of
twenty feet is being made to the en-
gine room, to allow of even another
boiler being put in if it is ever neces-
sary to do so. The .present dynamos
are running about up to their full
power, and they will be replaced in
- the course 'of the "present month by
one of the latest improved alternating
dynamos, capable of supplying a thou-
sand lamps if necessary. It is intend-
ed to wire several of the main streets
so that direct connection can be made
thereto for private houses, and also to
rain the lights until 12 o'clock.
DEATH - In the early hours after
midnight, on Monday morning, Miss
Nand Plumsteel, eldest daughter of Mr
- Henry Plumsteel, departed this life. -
Her illness had been long and very
painful, and had been borne with great
patience and christian fortitude. She
was a great sufferer, but amid suffer-
ings she repined not; her uniform and
oft -repeated testimony being that "all
things work together for good to them
that love God. Sheaves a member of
the Ontario Street Methodist Church,
and while able, was active in Christian
work, and by this activity as well. as
by her patient resignation to affliction,
she proved herself worthy of being
numbered among the disciples of:the
of the Great Galilean. So young, so
fair, a shining work which death did
not miss. The funetal took place on
Tuesday from the family residence on
Ontario St. Rev. Mr Edge, :a former
pastor, and friend of the family, was
present and assisted the pastor in the
religious services of the funeral. Mr
and Mrs Plumsteel have the sympathy
of the communit y in the great sorrow
which has overshadowed their home.
Nes Morrison, wife of Mr John Morri-
son, of Mount Forrest, died on Mon-
day last; she was a sister of Messrs H.
B. and P. Ker, of town, the latter of
whom attended her funeral; she was a
member of the Methodist church, and
although in poor health for some time,
was only confined to the house for a
few days. She leaves a family of five
children.
NOT THE PARTY WANTED. -About
four months ago, a man named Regan,
who had taught school at Benmiller,
and also at Blake, escaped from the
London Ayslum, where he had been
confined for some time, and was
supposed to have made bis way up
into Huron County somewhere. On
Thursday night last a tramp was
giyen a night's lodging in the town
-lock-up, and in the course of conver-
sation he voluntarily admitted that he
had taught school in both the places
named, but said it was about 15 years
ago. He gave his name as Johnston.
He was quite familiar with the Ays-
lum keepers, and the circumstances all
pointed to him as being th Regan.
The Ayslum authorities w re com-
municated with, and when they got
a description of the man, asked that
he be detained until they could send
some one up to see if he was the man
wanted. In the meantime the Mayor
made an effort to discover anyone who
knew Regan, but it was not until
pretty late in the day that anyone
was found who did, and then they de-
clared emphatically that the prisoner
was not Regan, He was held, how-
ever, until an employe of the asylum
came and stated that he was not the
party, when he was released. What
seemed remarkable was his familiarity
with all the circumstances of the other
ease and his claim to have taught in
both plass. Though poorly clothed,
he was certainly well educated. and
admitted that drink had been his
Worst enemy.
TWA` bI-Last Week Meesrs.
Munro & Kennedy', of.Brueedeld, offer"
ed to put up $50 that theyy coulddress
a beef in quicker tilne than Messrs
Don. Kennedy and Janmes Finch, Olin -
ton. On Wednesday we. are informed
that a gentleman who re resented• the
Clinton contestants, went to Brimfield
• and offered $10 to bind the bargain,but
Munroe was unwilling to accept this,
stating that it was to be $50 or noth-
ing. The Clinton representative, who
had only been instructed to bind the
bargain with $10, consented to put up
the $50, but Monroe, it ie claimed, back-
ed out, alleging that he would not ac-
cept the challenge until he had seenMr
Finch personally, notwithstanding the
fact that the person Braking the offer
was acting on behalf of Mr. Finch. So
it seems that when asked to toe'the
mark, the Brucefleld men thought dis-
cretion the better 'par t of valor; and
thus the matter stands.. Mr Finch ex-
presses his willingness to meet Munroe
personally, and put up the money at
any time or place.
A HIIRONITE.-In a recent issue of
the Kingston News is a letter on
"Kinston 50 years ago, by a veteran
of '37," in which the stirring events of
that time are narrated, and the follow-
ing incident recorded:-"Oap't. Fraser's
company was ordered to Bath for the
protection of that village. Capt. Fra-
ser got a requisition on the corimmis-
sary, to furnish clot hing, overcoats
and bedding; and Sergeant GU vin,with
a guard, and carts to convey them,
were sent over to the stores near Fort
Henry. After we passed the toll house
on the bridge, we noticed Sheriff Mc-
Donald coming on horseback with his
sword drawn. He ordered us to halt,
and said, "You cannot cross the bridge.
you must turn back." Sergeant Gir-
vin replied, • "we are going over on
business than cannot be delayed.” The
Sheriff said, "If you attempt to go
over, I will cut the head off you with
my sword.' The Sergeant replied, "I
am going over, and if you think your
sword is as long as my gun and bayo-
net, you can try it.' The Sheriff said,
"What is your business ?" The Ser-
geant said the company had been or-
dered to Bath, and to leave at 4 o'clock,
and he was going to the military stores
for supplies. We were allowed to
pass." [The sergeant alluded to in this
incident is known to Huronians as
Charles Girvin, ex -Reeve of West Wa-
wanosh, one of the oldest and most
popular residents of the county.]
