Cilli THE TRACK.—Owing to a. mis-
placed switch nearBelgraye, the after-
•VOnn train north partly ran off the
track on Monday; the locomotive was
the only one that left the trackentire-
Ip, and fortunately it did not turn
oyer, consequently no damage was
done. The passengers were delayed
several hours before the engine was
gat hack.
STOCK NoTns.—H. Plumsteel of Hill -
aide Stock Farm, Clinton, has sold a
fine thorobred shorthorn bull, "Roy of
Hillside," to Mr Wm Bubolz, E -
:, w]aioildville. This young bull is exceed-
' .hilly well bred and will be a great ben -
..eat to the farmers who want to im-
µprove their stock. Mr Plumsteel has
only one youug bull left for sale.
SCHOOL BoARD.—The fleet meeting
of the new Public School board was
• held last week. Mr Harland was re-
elected chairman, and the different
coulmitteee for the year were selected.
It was decided that one member from
each ward should visit the school some
time a ch week. After the business
of the board had been completed the
chairman entertained the members to
an oyster supper , at Cuningham's
restaurant.
ARTICLF8 WANTED.—There are sev-
; eraichileren about town unable to at-
tend Gctiool because their parents are
• too poor to buy them the necessary
:shoes and clothing. If anyone has
• cast-off shoes or clothing partly worn,
' suitable for children ranging from the
ages of,6 to 12 years, they will confer
a great favor by leaving the same with
W. McMurray, Chairman of the Char-
ity Committee, who will see that the
same are utilized and properly dispos-
ed of.
"» d "Cotrn CouNCIL.—The Huron Coun- •
ty Council will•convene in Gcderich on
tthhe 28th inst. There is considerable
speculation as to who will get the war-
den's chant& The choice may rest be-
tween Geo. 3110.Ewen, reeve of Hay; W.
Proudfoot, reeve of Goderich, and H.
Eilber, reeve of Stephen. All are
strong_ men and could equally well fill
the alike. Clinton missed the wardeb-
ship last year only by reason of the ill-
-nese of the late Reeve McMurchie,
whom the Council had decided to hon-
or with the position.
SKATINt CARNIVAL.—The skating
-earniyal last Thursday night was la e
`''_...1y.attended—nearly $OQ .person being _
present.,There was a goodly number
of masqeraders, and they kept lively-
time to the strains of the town band,
The prize winners were:—Ladies cos-
tume, let, Miss Clark; 2nd, Mise L.
Raine. Gents—H. Israel, R. Nimmons.
Boys'—E. Dayment, C. Bre ever. Girls'
—Lucy Brewer, Sarah Smith. Comic
J. Kerran, Goderich. The judges were
Messrs L Rattenbury, W. Jackson
and W. Paisley.
MONEY FOUND.—The other day as
Lee Brown was going home he picked
up out of the snow three dollar bills.
Shortly afterwards he met a person
who claimed to have lost two bills, and
believing him to be the owner of the
money, Mr Brown gave him the three.
Afterwards another party appeared
on the scene, who also lost money,—
$8 in bills—and he so accurately de-
scribed the bills lost that Mr Brown
felt convinced that whilst, the first
party might have lost some money,
that found belonged to the second in-
dividual, and a suit may be instituted
for its recovery.
HotTsE os' REFUGE NoTEs.—It was
with agood deal of reluctance that one
of the inmates became a resident of
the House, fearing that it would not be
suitable ; the other day a nephew of
this particular inmate called for the
purpose of taking him away, but the
old man had found everything so com-
fortable • and satisfactory that he pre-
ferred to rebaain, and did so. The dr ain-
age of the building not' being satisfac-
tory --there not being sufficient fall nor
enough water to, flush the drain prop-
erly—it has been neCesSary to relay the
pipes, and Harland Bros. have men en-
gaged in dning this now. One or two
additional inmates received last week,
has brought the number up in the
neighborhood of sixty.
FmEB, �'N•lie Collegiate had a narrow
escape from what might have been a
serious fire last week. The stove in the
gymnasium is an upright, and a stick
had been 'placed in it which, it is sup-
posed; fell over and it,
the door
open, aliowing a portion of the burning
etrek to fall on the floor; it bad hurned
a good-sized bole clean through the
floor, brit went out itself, as the inci-
dent was not discovered until next day,
it can easily be seen how narrow an es-
cape the building had.—On Thursday
night while the carnival was in pro-
gress a large lamp was knocked over
and set fire to the boards of the gallery;
although it made considerable blaze, it
was quickly extinguished by Mr Chant
throwing his fur boat over it.
PE88ot1AL.--Mr Alfred Lawrence,
of Welland, was a caller at the New
eddea4 daughter Of lilr•s.'Wtftt of town
died at ou Man tour n residence,
of her
waassf h -
scop a resident of Stanley, and lease*
a husband and seven of a fazhiiy.
Rev. W. Stout was called to Owen
Sound this week, owing,to Maclean!,
of of his mother, anti Mr Kiley' Will take
his t'luty at Summerhill, Middleton and
Holaxu ville, on SMIday next, 261 h.
Main Mary Isabell More, a native of
town, and daughter of the late, Beet
Moore, died at Detroit, onWedaetiday.
of pnuehnonia, at the age of I? years.
The body will be interred in Clinton
cemetery to -day, Friday, from the stets
tion, on arrival of the morning train
from London.
The old friends of Mr S. Wilson, now
of Charles City, Iowa, will cympatlt-
ize with hiiu in the recent lose of hie
daughter Annie, at the age of 9 years
and 0 months, She had been ill for a
couple of years with diabetes, and wax
here with her mother last Junta, when
the latter died here; she was a native
of Clinton, having been born on the
24th of June, 1886.
We regret to announce the death of
Mies Harriet E. Bowers, eldest daugh-
ter of the late G. M, Bowers, which
occurred on Sunday last, at the age of
20 years. Deceased'oontracted a cold
at the time of her father's death, from
which she never recovered and which
was the chief cause of her death. She
was a loveable girl, just budding into
womanhood, and the deep sympathy
that was felt for the family found ex-
pression in the large uumber who at-
tended the funeral on Tuesday.
We regret exceedingly that we have
this week to record the death of Mrs.
McMurchie, widow of the late Reeve
IdeMurchie, which occurred on Wed-
nesday afternoon. Since her husband's
death last May, she has never been the
same person in health she was, and
although there were no special mani-
festations of illness until about a fort-
night since, her intimate friends no-
ticed of late a very marked change, as
she bore her Borrow in silence, but it
told on her constitution. While at-
tending to some household duty two
weeks ago, she sustained a stroke of
paralysis, from which she never re-
covered. A lady of more than ordin-
ary refinement and culture, she had
endeared herself very closely to all who
enjoyed her acquaintance, and grief for
her demise is universal. She had been
for many years one of the most faithful
members of Willie church, and it can
be very truthfully said that "her mem-
ory is blessed." She leaves a son and
daughter unmarried, and one married
daughter—Mrs. R.Agnew. A remark-
able coincidence is the fact that while
she was ill, three sisters were also i11—
Mrs McTaggart, of town being one of
them. The funeral takes place at two
o'clock to -day, Friday.
TRIFLER.—Capital sleighing. Wood
is plentiful. Two weddings are rumor-
ored to take place next week. The
entrance and public school leaving ex-
aminations will take place this year
on the 24tb, 25th and 26th of June, a
week earlier than usual. Subscribers
who fail to receive the NEW ERA re-
gularly, either by carrier or by mail,
will confer a favor by acquainting us
of the fact at as early a date aspos-
sible. Nearly one month of 1896 has
slipped away. The Doherty Organ Co.
made a shipment _ of organs last week
to Amsterdam.
A STONE CRUSHER.—Now that the
need of good roads is more keenly rea-
lized than ever, and each municipality
expends annually a large amount in
this direction, help should be afforded
them by the county in a way that
could be done at the least general out-
lay. A stone crusher should be pur-
chased
u -chased for the county, but for use by
the municipalities, and in this way
each municipality would be able to im-
prove its roads with the best material
available for road -building. This mat-
ter should be brought up at the next
meeting of the County Council.
NOTES.—Mr P. Cantelon last week
moved into his handsome and com-
modious new house on Princess St.
Mr Thos. Walker has taken centracte
for balk barns to be erected this year
as follows:—John McNaughton, Var-
na;
acna; Henry Warren, Hallett; Thomas
Biggin, Hullett. and J. H. Robinson,
Stanley, and expects a number of
others. Mr 11. Cantelon's intended
lease of a hotel at Orangeville fell
through, but he has secured another
at Mount Forest, and removed there
this week. The party who took a
16 pound, turkey from in front of Fitz-
simons' butcher shop, at half -past six
the evening of the election, had better
call and pay for it, as they are known,
or they will be exposed. MrD.Cantelon
made a shipment of hogs on Monday.
Horses for export seem to be in de-
mand, and a number have been pur-
chased in this vicinity. Mr S. Pike
has moved into one of Mr Smitbson's
houses, Frederick St. Miss Alice Cot-
tle, who has been confined to her
room for a number of weeks, is now
recovering. Mieses Bertha Bean and
Edith Whittingham are visiting rela-
tives at Harriston. The friends of Mr
and Mrs C. Carline will be glad to
know that after a somewhat stormy
passage they have arrived safely at the
Bahamas. Miss Lottie Holmes has re-
turned for a few days from St rathroy.
Mr Robins, of St. Marys, who has been
here for several days negotiating for
the purchase of a business, has, we
understand, decided against so doing.
Mr Harold Whitt, son of Mrs Whitt,
who formerly had an interest in the
stationery business of Johnston, Coop-
er & Co., Toronto, has bought the
whole at a low rate on the doller, T.
Jackson, Jr., is in Toronto this week.
Misses Emma Stephenson, Hattie
Dodd and Eva Jenkins left here on
Monday morning for the Normal
school, Toronto. Mrs Ben. J. Gib -

several days, Is, we are glad to learn,
