TRI17z.ns.—Tuesday was St. Patrick's
day. The advertisement never opens
its mouth, but it says and does more
to sell goods than any other factor in
the world. It is not generally known
that any article found must be adver-
tised in the local paper, otherwise the
finder can be held responsible for same
as if stolen goods; advertise -all articles
lost or found in the NEW ERA. There
are five Sundays, five Mondays and
five Tuesdays iu this month. The
backbone of winter seems to have
considerable stiffness about it yet.
Why not form a joint•stock associa-
tion, with small shares, for the im-
provement of the Bayfield river for
boating purposes; it should not require
much money for this.
TRAVELLERS.—On Tuesday Mr and
Mrs Blackbiough, from East Wawa -
nosh, left here for Annaconda, Mon-
tana, where they purpose residing in
future, and were accompanied by Mrs
Geo. Stewart, from near Blyth, who
goes to Spokane Falls, Washington
Territory, on a visit to her son David,
who left here some eight years ago for
that place, where he has been financi-
ally successful. Mrs Stewart is the
mother of eleven children—eight boys
and three girls; of these seven boys
and two daughters are living; four
sons and one daughter living in De-
troit; one in Toronto, one in the west,
and one small boy home. The mother
of a family like this deserves an out-
ing, and this is the first one of any ex-
tent she has ever taken; we hope she
may have a pleasant time and safe re-
turn. These persons were all ticketed
through by W. Jackson, town agent
G.T.R.
NOTES.—Among the subscriptions to
the Armenian fund, acknowledged by

eration Life Insurance Co. at Toronto,

sentatives. Miss Bertha Scott expects

tion as nurse in the Rhode Island hos-
pital. Mr Taylor, of Kippen, left here
on Saturday with a car load of cattle
for the old country market. D. Cante-
ton shipped a car load of hogs on Mon-
day to Coiling, wood; they were bouirht
at about $3.40 per cwt. The drill shed
on Orange St. has been pulled down, to
the infinite relief of residents in that
vicinity, for it was supposed to he the
sleeping place of many a tramp. Frank
Hodgens is in Toronto, on business
this week. Cantelon Bros. shipped
about 2000 dozen eggs last week, and
are securinglarge quantities every
day. Last week J. W. Irwin made a
shipment of tea to a customer in the
old country; this looks a little like
"sending coals to Newcastle." Mr Al-
bert Moore, who was killed by a shot
from the gun of Laponte, at Brock-
ville, last week, was the only full bro-
ther of the late Edward Moore, of
town, and therefore an uncle to Messrs
William, Wesley and Robert Moore.
