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.

A BIG LOAD. -On Monday Mr Wm.
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. Camp-
bell, Londesboro. No. 3, Hay, Stanley
and Bayfield, Fred. Hess, Zurich; No.
4, Stephen, IIsborne, and Exeter, Ches-
ter Prouty, Hay; No. 5, Tuckersmith,
Seaforth and McKillop, A. G. 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

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

pathy of the community in her Alio.

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.

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.
GuN CLUB CONTEST.- On Friday
last the members of the Gun Club had
a live bird and a clay bird contest,
resulting as follows: -Out of 10 live
birds, E. Hovey got the whole number
J. McMurray 8; G. Hinchley, 8; E.
Cantelon 8, and J. Miller 7 out of 8.
In the clay bird contest B, Cantelon
got 8 out of 20; G. Hinchley 9 out of 13
and J. Miller 16 out, of 20. On Wednes-
day Messrs Blackall, Hinchleyand Mc-
Murray had a live bird contest, 10 birds
each, with Messrs E. Cantelon, Hovey,
and J. Miller, beating them by four
birds.
WEDDING NOTES. -On Wednesday
of last week Miss M. Baker, an esti-
able lady of town, was married to
Jos. Smeltzer, of East Wawanosh,
e ceremony taking place at the home
of her sister, Mrs Disney; the event
was entirely unexpected, even to her
relatives. On Tuesday Miss Nellie
Holmes, third daughter of Mr E.
Holmes, of St. Catharines, formerly of
Clinton, was married to Mr C. J. Farr,
of that city. On Wednesday Miss Etta
Routledge, of Gcderich township, for-
merly a very popular young lady in
town, was married on Wednesday to
Mr W. Learoyd, a Successful business
man of Windsor, and son of Rev. J.A.
Learoyd, St. Marys. Mr John Bloor,
of town, was married on Wednesday
to Mise Lottie Mason, daughter of Mr
John Mason, BIy h, the ceremony be-
ing performed by Rev Mr Higley; the
groomsman was Mr Jas. 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.]
