Ca' 1 ANOTHER JEWELLER. -- Mr Fhil. inton �k Crewe has decided to return to town 4ICY+� and engage in business for himself, having rented the premises adjoining Cooper's Bouk Store. He taken pos- session on the 1st of Nov., and a plate glass front will be put in before he opens up. CHANGES. - Mrs Ross, Rattenbury St., has moved to Manchester, where she will keep house for her son, Dr. Ross. Mr Dinsley will move to the house thus vacated, and Mr Oarline, who owns the boube now occupied by Mr Dinsley, will move into it. HOUSE OF REFUGE. -The members of the committee met here on Thurs- day to consider certain necessary re- pairs to the building. Mr French went to Crediton, on Saturday, and brought back the inmate Swartz, who had re- cently made his escape. Rev. Mr Newcombe conducts religious cervices on Sunday morning next, and Mr Ene. fer in the afternoon. SEWING SCHOOL. -Mise Hartt has started a sewing school for young children, every Saturday afternoon; this seems to us a veru commendable movement, and as her chargee are quite low, no doubt a number c par- ents will avail themselves of the op- portunity of having their children properly trained in this useful manner. cJt or FRIDAY, O01`. 16, 1886 LOCAL NOTIORS.

Grigg, of Colborne, had a load of dry wood on the market that looked like an unusually large one, and for curios- ity it was weighed, turning the scales at 8860 lbs. IMPROVEMENTS. -In order to meet their rapidly increasing trade, W. Do- herty & Co. are this week engaged putting in a new 80 horse power boiler and also refitting their dry kiln, about 4,000 feet of steam pipe taking the place of the fans. Mr. Doherty believes In having all the machinery necessary in an ever-increasing trade. THEY COME Too HIGH.- H. C. Ar- nold, Manager for Grenville Kleiser, (reader and personator) was in town last week endeavoring to make ar- rangements for the appearance here of Mr Kleiser, but was unsuccessful. He was willing to place Mr Klaiser here for a guarantee of $60, the local parties to pay all other expenses. Those to whom this generous offer was made, declined to accept, and we think 'wisely so, With very rare exceptions, the only safe way to handle enter- tainments of this nature is on a per- centage basis, and if the performer is not willing to assume some risk, better not have anything to do with it. ROAD COMMISSIONER. - Mr Camp- bell, cur Provincial Road Commission- er, in response to the request of the Town Council will come here on the 16th inst., (to -day) and will make an inspection of the streets, the gravel pit, &c., and will meet the members of the Council and the public in the eve- ning, and give an address on practical road making. This date is a little earlier than the Council had anticipat- ed, and does not allow of as much no- tice being given outside as was desira- ble but it cannot be helped. The mun- icipalities of Stanley, Colborne, Hul- lett, Tuckersmith and Goderich town- ship have also been asked to be present. UNUSUALLY SUCCESSFUL. -The cat- tle trade, as most people know, some of them to their sorrow, is an exceed- ingly risky business, and more money has been loot than made in it. Yet it sometimes happens that by a combina- tion of good management and favor- able circumstances, some dealers come through a season successfully. Such has been the experience of Mr George Stanbury,, who during the past season shipped eight car loads -160 bead -to the old country, and he sustained no loss in any way during the season. Statistics show, also, that the average price of cattle in the old country has been about $20 a head less this year than last. THE COUNTY COUNCILS ACT. -On Tuesday last Warden Strachan was in Goderich and appointed officers for re- ceiving nominations under the new County Councils Act, which event will take place on Monday, Dec. 21. The officers are as follows for the Divisions named: No. 1, comprising Goderich ., town, Colborne and Ashfield, W. Sto• there, Belfast; No. 2, Goderich town• ship, Chilton and Hullett, Jas.

Smillie, Hensel]; No. 6, Morris, Grey, and Brussels, F. S. Scott, Br ussels; No. 7, East and West Wawanosh, Wingham and Blyth, Peter Porterfield, Marnoch; No. 8, Turnberry, Howick and Wrox- eter, Joseph Cowan, Wroxeter. TRIFLES. -The fall fairs are over and we're glad of it. The NEw ERA as an advertising medium is unsurpassed. Read the advertisements every week. The hardest frost of the season was experienced Thursday night. Farm- ers tell us that pastures were never in as good a condition for ten years as they are to -day. The attention of teachers holding third-class certifi- cates is called to the fact that if t expect to obtain second -class -i t cates they should do so this year, o erwise they will come under the new regulations and will he compelled to study two or three languages. The Brussels Post is offering apple barrels for'eale; this is a new branch of the newspaper business. On Saturday three boys, none of them more than 12 or 14 years of age, were seen going in• to the country, each with a gun under his arm; is it safe to let boys of that. age go out shooting alone. The birds are feasting on mountain ash herries pow. Sunday was a gorgeous day, typical of Indian Summer. DEATH OF BERT SHANNON. -One of the most painfully sad deaths ever oc- curring in Clinton was that of Bert Shannon at the age of 24. which took place on Saturday morning. The ill- ness directly the cause of his death bas lasted for several months, and was the result of a cold contracted while performing bis duties, hut ty- phoid fever experienced about four years ago, was the cause of several complications setting in which weak- ened his system. He was engaged in the Electric Light busincSP, succeeding his father as a partner then ein and no young man stood higher in public con- fidence and esteem than be did; he was a young man of greatrornise and not only was bis life a mo l example and living for good. but hi principles were those of the most strict integrity, combined with a frankness of manner that won him a warm place in the con • Hence of the public. He was a zeal- ous member of Rattenbury Street. Methodist Church, a teacher in the Sabbath School, an active rnemher of the League, and his father dying hut. a few monthrt i go, was regarded es the mainstay and comfort of his mother. Ile knew that it was impossible to re- cover and died peacefully and happily resting on the promises of that Sav- iour whom he had loved to serve while in health and strength. Mrs Shannon has the unreserved and heartfelt sym- pathy of the community in her Alio. tion, f io- titont and public esteem was manifested by the large attendance at the funeral btu t$tlnday, the members of the Sab- .W0. School attending in a body. 4411.114 I.O.G.T.-There was a good attend- ance at the regular meeting of the I. O.G.T. on Friday evening last, when a good program was given by the mar- ried members. There will be an open lodge on the evening of the 23rd; a splendid program is being prepared. Don't forget the date Friday evening, Oet. 23rd. You can depend on a good time. TICKET AGENTS. -The annual meet- ing of the Ticket Agents' Association of Canada is held this week at St. Johns, N. B. Anon those in attend- ance from this locality are W. Jack- son, agent of the G. T. R., and wife; A. T. Cooper, agent C. P. R., and R. J. McDonald, agent G. T. R., Seaforth. Tne railroads provide free transporta- tion both ways, with lots of good things thrown in as aide -lines. We wouldn't mind being a ticket agent un- der such circumstances. OONTRADIOTED.-It was mentioned a short time ago that Mr Reinhardt, missionary to Thibet, had been mur- dered, and his wife, (a neice of Mrs Plummer) taken prisoner. It now turns out that this is not correct. Miss Carson, of Newbury, has recently re- ceived a letter from her sister, Mrs Reinhardt. They are atTopan, China, and perfectly safe, though in the midst of war. They are both well, and are engaged in treating the wounded soldiers, STATION NOTES. -A full train of freight was taken out of here by a spe- cial train on Saturday, and another special picked up other extra freight. The apple buyers are now shipping in cold storage for Boston, ten cars going out on Monday. Sid Smith loaded a car of stock on Saturday, and D. Can- telon one of hogs, for Collingwood, cn Tuesday. One car of apples that left here last week, shipped by Steep & Co., contained 270 bbls; the average car only contains 160 bbls. ORCHESTRA. -A new orchestra has been formed in town, and is under practice weekly. For the present Mr John Emmerton is acting as leader. The following are the players: -J. McCrae, clarionet; Ern Davis, clarion - et; Miss McMurray violin; Thos. Wal- ker violin; J Emerton flute; G McCrae cornet; Rich. Downs trombone; Robt. Downs bass; H B Chant French horn; Bert Kerr banjo; J. Jackson guitar; Miss Linnie Irwin pianist. No doubt I he members will shortly be able to give a good account of themselves.

McUlacherty, and the bridesmaid Miss Clara Mason, sister of the bride; they have taken up their residence in one of Mr Rumhall s houses on Mary Rt. The NEw ERA throws the editorial slipper after all. OF SPECIAL INTEREST. — "Table Talk" in the West minster, for Octob- er, says: -"It is hinted that a memoir of the late Rev. John Ross, of Bruce - field, may he published next year. Mrs Boas has been collecting materials for some time, and the idea is begin- ning to take shape. Mr Rose was a unique character, whose name should not he forgotted. He was one of the figures in the debates before the Un- ion of 1875. and, with the late Rev. Lachlin McPherson, of East. Williams, remained mit of the united churcb. But, he was a spiritual force rather than an ecclesiastic. Many stories are told about his eccentric ways, hut he was a noble roan, lofty in character, cud of ni iginal power as a preacher. It is easy for a biographer to be "worlds away" in estimating such a character. Mr Ross' biographer will require something more than "the pen of a ready writer." The Insight ofspit - itual sympathy and the touch of a literary artist are needed." [Such an article would he indeed interesting, especially to those in this section so familiar with the late Mr Ross, and If from the pen of so able a writer as Mrs Rosa would be read with the kindest interest.] We've Got No other way of telling you of the bargains we've gut ! for you than through the columns of the newspaper.
