decided to retire from active connec-

he went to Seaforth and tendered his

captain of No, 7 company. There are
a not many men who hate rendered

convinces him that he should " shoul-

ERROR. --In our council minutes lust
week it was stated that tenders would
-be received for plank, etc., up to "Jan.!'

it is scarcely necessary for us to eay
.February was intended.
A NEw Banat:M.-The council have
wisely decided to place a bridge across
the Maitland, op con. 4-5. It le not
only needed, but will supply a "long -
felt want" and be a great convenience
to people of that particular point.
PARTY. -On Fridy eyening last Mr
and Mre Jas. Snell entertained a num-
ber of invited guests at their residence,
Hayen-Barton farm. We are voicing
the sentiments of all present when we
say that mine host and hostess were
all that could be desired to make guest]
feel happy. The evening was epent in
music, games, &c., also in attendance
upon the festive board, which held an
ample supply of those delicious viands
for which the inner man craves. -
At an early hour of the morning all
dispersed to their homes, well satisfied
-
with� the excellent entertainment af-
forded them.
HE HAS PROSPERED. - Nearly 50
years ago a young man was plowing on
a Yorkshire farm; his wedding would
occur in a week ; straight; ahead of
him, as he was plowing, he caw. the
County Poor House; and this thought
struck him like a flash of lightning -
"If I get married and. stay here I won't
be long until I reach that House." He
resolved that he would get married
and emigrate. He did so, and when he
and bis,wife landed in Canada they
were nearly stranded. But they had
lots of pluck and they ,pushed their
way into Huron. They now reside in
Hullett, where they own two or three
excellent farms; have raised a large
family and are among the most highly
respected residents of the township.
We with -hold the name, but it would
not be hard to guess who it is.
• A PIONEER'S DEATH. - It was not
only men who braved all the hardships
of pioneerlife in this section, but wo-
men as well, and we this week have to
record the death of one of these noble
worthies who bravely faced the dan-
gers incident to the early settlement of
this country, and leaves bebind her a
record of sterling worth and faithful-
ness. Mrs Lawrence, who died on the
21st, at the age of 73 years, was the
widow of the late Henry Lawrence,
who died some nine months ago. Born
in Yorkshire in 1823, she came td this
country in 1853 with her late husband,
Jid most mme,4liatelereat tefe?egt, ke

to a year ago She enjoyedjgood health.
but since •then slse as been more or
lees failing, until She sustained' a etroke-
of parelyeia a few days since, which
was the direct cause of her death. For
many years she was a member of the
Methodist church, and was always in
ber place while she was able to attend.
She leaves two sons -Alfred. a resident
of Welland, and Isaac, on the farm -
two daughters -Mrs Donald Patterson,
of East Wawanosh, and Mrs Gracey,
of Comber. The remains were interred
in Taylor's cemetery on Thursday.
A FINE Serowe -No. -The' Ludington,
Mich.,) Appeal thus refers to a son of
Mr Stephen Gray, of this township:-
"ProsecutingAttorney Gray has just
completed his semi-annual report and
forwarded it to the Attorney General,
as the law requires. The period cov-
ered by the report is the els 'months
intervening between July 1 and Dec.
31, 1895. The report showed 97 war-
rants issued; 4 were settled and 93 pro-
secuted, resulting in 92 convictions and
1 acquittal. The cases tried in the
circuit court resulted in one being sent
to Ionia for six years, one for five
years; one for two and one for one
year; one was sent to the Detroit
House of Correction for one year, one
for ninety days; one was fined 8100,
one $79; two $50 each and three $40
each. Three boys were sent to the
Industrial school at Lansinguntil 17
years of age. Prosecutor Gray is cer-
tainly showing remarkable aptitude
for the position he has been chosen to
fill. The record of 92 convictions out
of 93 prosecutions cannot be excelled,
we think, by any prosecuting attorney
in the state during a like period. It
denotes that our prosecutor looks
closely into all the facts before launch-
ing out and running up a hill of ex-
pense for taxpayers to settle. If there
are no good grounds for commencing
a case, better abandon it before incur-
ring cost. We are glad Mr Gray sees
it in this light and acts from this prin-
ciple -first knows he is right and then
blazes away. Such a eourse is dollars
in the people's pockets, and the prose-
cutor becomes a terror to evil doers,
as they realize that when he gets after
them conviction is sure to follow.
East Wawanosh.
SIIDDaN Dr..ATn-It is with deep regret
that we announce this week the death of
Mrs Catherine Stewart, relict of the late
Andrew Stewart, which sad event occurred
at her residence, in East Wawanosh, on
Saturday evening. Mrs Stewart bad been
suffering fOr some time from a severe cold
but of late had been' feeling mnoh better,
and it was thought by her friends that she
aonld soon be herself again. On Saturday
ovenig Miss Stewart went over to Mr Robt.
Marehall's, leaving her mother in the house
alone and upopn,hee return toned her'moth-
er dying. Medical aid was at onoe sent for
bet when the doctor strived Mrs Stewart
was beyond all human skill. The cause of
her death was heart failure. Mrd Stewart
was the mother of 7 children -6 eons and
1 daughter -all of whom are living. Four
sons are living in Manitobit and the North,
west, one in the united Statex and one eon
and daughter are on the hoeneatped. Mrr

made very profltable if taken hold of
in the proper manner. It now remains
for all who desire to have the largest
amount of profit at a minimum cost of
labor, to become patrons of this con-
cern. Let all who desire the above
inquire as regards the workings of the
fadtory, and once understanding it we
have no doubt a large number will
patronize. Already a large number
have signified their intention of gei n g
so. On Saturday last a meeting of
those interested was held in the ball
here, when Mr Hill explained his in-
tentions in connection with carrying
on the factory. There were also pre -
tient ,Messrs Connolly, Forster and
Laurence, officers of the Holmes/7111e
factory, who also aided in the explana-
tion. The patrons proceeded to organ,
ize for the management of their part
of the business as follows: -Pres., Ben
Churchill; Board of Directors, Ben
Churchill, Win. Wallace, D. Lansing,
J. 3. McLaughlin and Thos. Churchill;
Sec., J. H. Lowery. The following are
the main points in the agreement be-
tween Mr Hill and the patrons: -Mr
Hill agrees with them to manufacture
the cheese for 01.25 per 100 lbs; and
that if there be any unmerchantable
cheese he is to make it "good" to them,
that is make up for any rose so sustain-
ed. Let all pitch in and make the fac-
tory a grand success. Give it a trial,
anyhow.

A Goon MEDIUM. - A couple of
weeks ago Mr Walter McBeth, of Stan-
ley,'put a small advertisement in the tee
NEW ERA, offering to feed cattle dur-
ing the winter. He at once received
from several readers of this paper ap-
plications to feed their stock, and
found that the NEW DRA was an ex-
cellent
advertising medium. A prom-
inent business man, who is an exten-
sive advertiser, remarked the other
day, "I find that the NEW ERA brings
us excellent returns and covers the -
ground well."
A11 OLD CLINTONIAN.-The Spokane,
W.T. Tribune of a recent date thus re-
fers to the eldest eon of Mr H. Steep of
town: -"Among the pioneers of our
city none are better known than the
genial Peter Steep. IC is over twelve
years since Mr Steep severed his ties
With Grand Forks, N.D., and resolved
to seek his fortunes in the west. He!.
selected Spokane, then little better
than a village, as his sphere of action.
Mr Steep's first venture was in the gen-
eral grocery business, in which he con-
tinued for some years, He did not eon -
fine his energies to thisbusiness alone,
for during that period we find him er-
ecting eight handsomedwelling houses.
Mr Steepeventually went into the
real estae business on a large scale,
and in boom days here there -Were fcw
speculators in reality more widely
known -than he. Like the majority of
early investors here Mr Steep has had
his reverses; but it is safe tosay that
he has a handsome account on the
credit side of the lettgeVyet. MriStecp,
still owns a vast amount, ofcity
