Shipley, of Cass City, Mich., and Miss Alice Miller, of Detroit, late of Clinton. About fifty invited guests were present. The bridal couple were the recipients of a number of very handsome presents. Upon the con- clusion of the ceremony an elaborate wedding dinner was served, after which dancing was indulged in until a late hour. ARE THEMSELVES TO BLAME.—The newspapers are continually crying out about the impositions they are sub- jectto, and yet encourage a form of imposition that they should resent at once. For instance a cel Iain fashion journal, published at $1 a year, sends out a monthly notice about four or five inches long, with the modest re- quest that its Insertion will secure to the publisher a copy of the journal in - question, " A copy can he purchased for 10c and the notice is worth at the least $1.50, and yetthere are any num- ber of newspapers foolish enough to insert it, and the same thing is done in a score of other cases. The NEW ERA is willing to be lair in extending court- sies to other journals, but it is not go- ing to be quite as generous as this. THE HAY 13IIsrNEss.—An exchange says:—Wm. Cudmore, from near Clin- ton, has done a thriving business in south-western Ontario the past winter in shipping baled hay and straw, hav- ing shipped from Tilbury, Fletcher, Comber and Staples, but principally from Tilbury, about 50 cars, averag- ing 10 tons to the car, or a total of 600 tons, and in addition to this he has about 150 tons of baled hay stored in the old Still warehouse there. Only about 10 cars of his shipments in- cluded straw. He pays $10 per ton for hay and from $2.50 to 53 for straw, and furnishes the teams and does the pressing. The bales average 150 pounds each, and are securely fastened with a stout wire. The shipments are prin- cipally to London, Markdale, Durham and Walkerton. DIED SUDDENLY.—Mr Richard Oor- nelious, of London, died rather unex- pectedly at his home on Saturday afternoon, of tumor of the brain. He was 58 years of age. Mr Cornehous was an employe of the London Ma- chine Tool Company, and had been a member of the Musical Society Band since its inception. The band turned out 32 strong and escorted the remains to the G. T. R. station, whence they were conveyed to Hamilton, the form- er home of the deceased, for interment. Mr Cornelious was a man of an estim- able character end during his residence in London made a large number of friends. He leaves a widow, two sons and a daughter. [He was for some years an employee of the Doherty Organ Factory, Clinton. THE STAVELY ESTATE—The Ontario Government has signified its intention to recognize Clinton's claim to a portion of the Stavely estate, gaud will, set aside the the sum of $I0,000 therefor. The other claimants to the estate will also have their claims recognized. Clinton is to be congratulated on its good fortune, the creditfor which rests with Mr Garrow, the popular re- presentative of the Ridin who has been very zealous in looking after Clinton's claims. The intention is to use the money for the - establishment and maintenance of a public library, gyninasium and museum. Itis ueieless for correspondents to the press to talk of the money being used for any but an educational or charitable purpose; that point was decided by the Goyern- ment long ago; the use that the mo- ney might be put to was fully consid- ered by the former Citizen's Commit- tee, which investigated the question of hospitals, etc., and after due considera- tion, onsidertion, concluded that a public library would be as serviceable as anything, without entailing constant expense Mr its maintenance, and this the Government agreed to. A good re- presentative Citizen's Committee bas been named, who will at once set about the work. No details have yet been decided upon, but , the comm ttee wilt proceed ivith due caution, and we have no doubt but that the outcome of their work will be approved of by the clti- rens generally. This dommlteo is only intended as an"auxiliarr to the coon, +ail and will, of necessity, work. In con- ,'nnctitm therewith; A meetint of the edmmittee'wrill bbdd' held onMon ay eV Owned ng nett at 71 , iii thOwnedData bet - WRo's THE Flt DER. -•-About three weeks ago a spring cushion and goat robe were lost out of a cutter belong'' ing to Davis & Son, on the Londesboro road. The articles were advertised, but so far they have failed to reach their owner. Now they certainly were picked up by some one, and are pre- sumably in their possession still, and should be at once teturned.

After the minutes were read the credential committee reported 18 lodges in the district, and 11 represent- ed by about 100 delegates. There are four or five lodges in the district that are rather low, but the remainder are in a prosperous condition, ten lodges having initiated 138 new members. The committee on the state of the Order, recommended the amalgama- tion of Albert and Leeburn, and that Wingham and Blyth do what they could to revive Belgrave. The topic that drew forth the principal discussion was, "The best way of increasing our membership, and also of retaining -the members we have," a great many dele- gates taking part. During the after- noon the session was enlivened by re- citations, vocal and instrumental mu- sic, by members from Lucknow, Con- stance, Blyth and Londesboro. Al- though the roads were bad there was a large attendance. It was decided to hold the next meeting at St. Helens, on the 20th of May.
