IN A Now RoLIr.- SonIo tithe ago a • man named Chambers caused a sensa- tion here by shooting at and escaping from constables who were trying to "arrest him at the Commercial Hotel. liewas subsequently captured and tried, but discharged. This week a ty- pleat tramp was seen on the streets, and little attention was paid to him until he was recogpized as the leading figure in the shooting scrap. Lomas SIIBPIOIOII9.—The Exeter Ad- vocate says:—The Main St. choir visi- ted Clandeboye Friday night last, and - -while - there took -part -in a concert in connection with the Harvest Home services. Mise Lillian Hardy, of town, also took part in the program. Mr Bert Hodgins, of • Clinton, wheeled down and accompanied the choir.— lNow everybody knows that Bert can- not sing, and what he accompanies the choir for is a suspicious mystery.] NOT A CITY VIsIToii.—There are very few men who have travelled over Ontario more than Mr D. McCorvie, of town and yet there are important places in the Province that he knows very little about. A native of Toron- to, he only visited it once inside of for- ty 'years, and this was last summer. However, he knows nearly every inch of territory in Western Ontario, and if driving- could pretty nearly tell his location with his eyes shut. AN OLD RESIDENT.—The other day an elderly gentleman dropped into the store of Harland Bros., Brick Block, and after the customarysalutations re- marked, "Things look different here naw.to what they did sixty years ago; at that time thiswas a dense bush, and I well remember sleeping one night at the root of a stump right about where this store stands now.' Asked who he was, he gave his name, Mr VanEgmond, of Egmondville, he being a brother of Mr E. VanEgmond, of the Huron Road, Hullett. NARROW ESCAPE.—On Friday last Mr Hibbert, of the 14tlr con., Goderich Township, had a narrow escape from accident. He was taking borne a load of barrels, Mr T. Cottle, sr., being on the load with him. The barrels start- ed to slip; &Miring theliorses to run away. Mr Cottle was thrown off then load and was severely shaken up. Mr Hibbert managed to remain on the waggon, and by sheer pluck hung on to the,horses and prevented them from getting away. • STATION AND RAILROAD NOTES.— Conductor Parker is still on the sick list, and has gone to Sarnia for a rest. Engineer Norris, 0? the L. H. & B., who resided in Wingham, died of can- cer in the neck, at the homepf his fath- er-in-law in Windsor, on Friday; many railroad men attended the funeral on -Sunday. Messrs Graham & Stewart, of Stanley have securedspace, through Mr W. "J'aekson, for a shipment of about 1500 barrels of apples to the old country. Passenger traffic is heavy this week. Large quantities of apples are being exported weekly. I. O. G. T.—The fruit festival held in the I. O. G. T. lodge room last Friday' evening was a grand success. There was a good attendance of the members and all seemed to enjoy themselves. The debate this Friday evening pro- mises to be the most interesting feat- ure of the quarter. Both sides are de- termined to win and will bring into it all the power and eloquence at their command. The horrors of war and the great train of evils that follow as a sequence will be depicted by D. Stev- enson, G. W. Rogers, and A. J. Coop- erwhile the unutterable, agonizing misery that exists inconsequence of intemperance will be set forth by C.M. Bezzo, H. B. Chant, And T. McNeill. Fon ENLARGED EXPERIENCE.—Dr Turnbull leaves the first week in Octo- ber to take a two-months'course in the Johns -Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, and in the hospitals of New York. During his absence his practise will be looked after by Dr Krausman, who at- tended to Dr Agnew's practise at Lon- deeboro during his long illness last fall, and also to Dr Gunn s, during his ab- sence, and who is a thoroughly quali- fied and competent practitioner. A report has become current that Dr. 'Turnbull is leaving on account of ill "1reclth, but he authorizes us to state that he is in perfecthealth, and is tem- porarily leaving solely for study and to keep in touch with his profession. He expects to return about the lst of December. MAtlsinn AND'Woi7NDED.—The other day James Watters had his left hand come in contact with a set of circular saws in Cooper Bros. factory, with the result that all the fingers on the hand Were badly mutilated, though fortun- ately none of the bones were cut; al- though working arotind machinery for , a number of years thie is the first t ielibhas met with an accident..

The Kippen correspondent of the Exposi- tor says:—"Mr Steep. of Clinton, made a shipment of 250 barrels of applea from our station during the week." Mr Wolper bas sold his interest in the Mason House to Mr Dowson, of Stan- ley, who took possession on Tuesday; Mr Wolper has not yet decided where he will go nor what be will do. We have received some samples of Mani- toba grass and hay sent from Sam. Booth, formerly of town; they were brought by. Mrs Kerr, who has been spending a few weeks there. Mr J. B. Rumball has disposed of his well- known watch -dog, "Nip;" the dog was young and not vicious, but was so powerful and "watchfa'il" that it was necessary to keep him muzzled nearly all the time; Mr Rumball has been the owner of no less than seven watch- dogs which were in reality too watch- ful; Mr Chas Wilson is now the owner of the dog, but it does not follow that there is any connection between this and the manufacture of sausage.— On Monday afternoon last, a little in- cident occurred at the station which showed how human sympathies are touched; an infant child of a Salvation Army captain fell o$ the platform, cutting a deep gash in its forehead; the child was instantly picked up, and Rev. M. Turnbull (pastor of Goderich Episcopal church) drew the cut to- gether with court plaster, and dressed the wcund as deftly and neatly as a physician could do it.

Terry, of town is a member of the Canadian cricket team which on Tuesday was going to Chicago. •Geo.

The New ERA certainly was in error last week In stating that the Lawn Bowling Club did not win any games at London; they won quite a unmber, but we were unintentionally misled by our informant, and had not watched the sporting columns of the papers. Many of our citizens are this a eek attending theWestern Fair, seve- ral having wheeled down. We regret exceedingly to see of the murder of J. J. Thomas, late of Guelph, which oc- curred in Alaska recently; thirty years ago the editor of the NEW ERA and Thomas' mother were children togeth- er in Hamilton. While Messrs Abbott and Jones, of Exeter, were on the way to Kincardine, wheeling via Clinton, the former met with an ugly accident while coming down the hill on the Lon- don road, the other side of the river; he was coasting, when he took a header and was knocked senseless, besides be- ing bruised considerably.

The Morden, Man., Herald of last week, thus alludes to a sots of Mr Thos. Holloway:—Mr. W. T. Holloway, piano and organ tuner, of Winnipeg, formerly of Doherty & l'o's factory, Clinton, has been in town for the past week, and has done eonsider- able business In his line; he Is a musi- cian, and rendered assistance to Knox Church choir, on Sunday, and also the double quartette at the Young Men's meeting; he also practiced with the new band, being an old band leader.— In the window of McOlacherty's store may be seen a pretty birthday cake, and whet is peculiar about it is that it is for the 10th: "birthday" of Ontario Street church, which Vvill be observed on the 29th inst., On Wednesday Miss Annie Upshall, of Tuekeramith, form- erly of town, was married, and atngng the guests present from town were Mr, Mrs and..
