HOGS.—On Tuesday Messrs Cantelon & Wallis shipped a double -decked car of hogs to Collingwood; among them were 50 very fine ones bought of W.H. Moon, Hullett, who received therefore the largest cheque which Mr Cantelon had ever made out to a single individ- - ual for this class of live stock ACCIDENT.—On Monday a brakesman belonging to Goderich, named Mahon- ey, had the misfortune to get three of his fingers so badly crushed while coupling cars here, that it was neces- sary to amputate them. What makes the accident more unfortunate, is the fact that his other hand had been sim- ilarly mutilated sometime ago. RESCUED.—Six months ago a young girl:whose parents hve in this vicinity, left home to become a domestic. She unfortunftteiy left the path of virtue, while ..thus employed, and losing her etfuation, found her way to the House of Refuge, where a temporary home was given her. On Wednesday her father only learned of her whereabouts and condition, having up to that time supposed she was still out at service. He at once came here and asked per- mission to take her home; the Inspec- tor, after some hesitation, gave his consent, although he has no power so to do, but he felt that the circum- stances ljustified it, and he would be upheld in eo doing. MONUMENTS.—Messrs Seale & Hoov- er, of Clinton Marble Works, are evid- ently making their businessboom,judg- ing by the large number of orders they are taking for monuments, which are unsurpassed in workmanship. They have recently taken the following or- ders for Esperenzo blue marble monu- ments:—Mrs John Reid, Varna; J. Per- ish, Chiselhurst; W. Boyle and Agnes Beeton, Lucknow; Conductor Ireland, Wingham.

Brown, Clinton. ~`tteedZee9. — The Spring Assizes for Huron cpeii .d.betore Mr Justice Rose at Goderich last weel,..."it there were only two civil cases. the Crown Attor- ney having nothing to bring before the Court or. Grand Jury. His Lordship was presented by Sheriff Reynolds with the customary white gloves. The cases tried were Common vs. Neeley, an action for account in agricultural implements purchased fromdefendant. Judgment was given dismissing, the action with costs. J. T.Garrow and L. E. Dances for plaintiff. Wallace Nes- bitt for defendant, tot don vs. Clegg, an action for slander in some business .. relations between the parties, who live in Wingham, was tried before a jury, and they gave a verdict for plaintiff for $25, to which his Lordship added costs. W. D. McPherson for plaintiff. E. L. Dickipson for defendant. OONFEDtRATION LIFE ASSOCIATION. —The following circular has been sent out from the head office, to all policy holders in this vicinity: Gentlemen,— Mr Israel Taylor—for many years an esteemed representative of this Asso- ciation in Clinton and vicinity—has through pressure of other business keen obliged to resign the agency of this Association. Consequently it is found necessary to appoint a successor and we have great pleasure in inform- • ing you that Mr Jacob Taylor, a broth- er of the above, has been appointed to fill the vacancy. Letters addressed to Jacob Taylor, Clinton, Ont., will find him, and he will be pleased to give any information desired in regard to the old business, and also rates and full particulars in regard to new policies, We would bespeak for him the same kind consideration as was extended to our late . representative, Mr Israel 'Taylor. ORGAN RECITAL,— The organ recital -erten by Prof. Featherstone, under the auspices of Ontario St, choir, in con- nection with the opening of their new organ, was a decided success. The at- tendance was good considering the very unfavorable weather, and had it been fine they would, no doubt, have had a crowded house. The organ is very attractive and of a pleasing de- fl !sign. The pipes are pale blue, while e the case is oak, and resents an attrree- t t r MONEY LOST.—On Frit:ay last a per' son in town had the misfor tune to lose a roll of $80 in bills. If the finder will return the same to this office, or a t10 bill lost a few days before, they will be suitably rewarded. PIANOS.—The Globe, of Thursday, makes flattering references to the sale of a Newcombe Piano, as mentioned in last week's NEW ERA. The sale was madeiby Mr Lundy, the represent- ative of the company, assisted by J. McCool. We understand that the empty store in the MacKay block has been rented as a wareroom for the use of the Newcombe Company, and will shortly be utilized. TRIFLES. — Everybody says "This can't be spring—its too early," but rob- ins and other spring birds are here,and everything indicates spring. Some- thing of a modified flood was experienc- ed here on Sunday, and quite a num- ber of people found more water in their cellar than desirable, but no injury par- ticularly was done. Fall wheat is not much above ground, but looks well;the, dangerous weather is yet to come, SELLING OUT. — The rumor has re- cently been circulated that H. C. Bar- lett, furniture dealer, is selling nut. I might inform the public that it is true I ant selling out every day as fast as I can. But please note that I am not selling out in order to discontinue bus- iness. I am here to stay right with yoit and• am receiving shipments of new goods almost daily. Thanking you all for past favors and soliciting a con- tinuance of the same. I remain yours respectfully, H. C. BARLETT. A FORMER CLINTONIAN. —A NEW ERA representative happened to meet Hon.R. Watson, a mem her of the Man- itoba government, at Ottawa last week, when the conversation turned into the presence of so many Huron- ians in Manitoba, "Why," said Wat- son, "I'm a Huronian myself; in fact I may be called a Olintonian, for I help- ed to fit up Racey's mill at the station, and I also worked in Fair's mill, being at the time in the employ of Goldie,Mc- Culloch & Co., Galt. TOBACCO ,.SEIZED.—For some time past the authorities have been aware that quantities of tobacco, cigars and cigarettes were being smuggled across the border. Hearing that some parties in Stratford knew more than they ought to about this, a special excise of- ficer, in the person of E. Floody, (form- erly of Clinton ewes sent there from Toronto. Mr Floody arrived in the city Monday, and assisted by A. Cavin, of the local excise staff, he has made a seizure of about $125 worth of tobacco and cigarettes. The case will probab- ly be aired in the police court. Floosie of REFUGE.— One of the in- mates—a girl—is suffering with scarlet fever, consequently no visitors are al- lowed to inspect the house, and the sufferer is isolated as much as possible. Crowded as the house now is, it is diffi- cult to prevent the spread of a con- tagious disease of this nature, although every precaution is being taken, and the County should lose no time in mak- ing necessary additions to the House, whereby patients who may be ill could be properly cared for without endan- gering other inmates, or, at the same time,greatly increasing the work of the Manager. RAILWAY NOTES.—The volume of the Klondike travel is indicated by the fact that during the past week Con- ductor Parker, of the L. H. & B., has carried about twenty passengers who were bound for Vancouver.eterel tub: on. t' the Yukon. A. S. Bigg, Super- intendent of this division, was here on business on Tuesday. On Tuesday afeernoon a Pullman came down the L. H. & B., and was transferred to the main line; it contained about fifty pas- sengers who were all booked to Mani- toba and other western points; and the car bad been provided especially for their accommodation. Ix THE W EST.—Writing to the NEw ERA, from Ontario, Cal., under date of Feb.28, Mrs J.Arrnstrong (Miss Char- lie Cooper) says: "I could not do with- out the NEW ERA as I get so much news out of it. We are having very dry weather here this winter so far, but hope next month will bring us lots of rain. How I would like to step into Clinton and see all the old faces again, and I guess I would see lots of new ones also. The oranges are very plen- tiful this year,so manyithat. Iam afraid there will not be enough market for them. This is the place where you have the nice winters; our lawn is green all the time." IN DAKOTA.—Under date of March 10, Chas, H. Hanly, formerly of Clin- ton, writes as follows:—"I write you to inform you that on Feb. 27th, there was born to Mr and Mrs Chas. Hanly twin boys; one only survived,the other living 8 hours. Mrs Hanly and baby is doing well. We are having lovely weather, no snow, there was 6 days sleighing and the weather was nice and clear all winter, no storms at all. For my part I like the country better than Canada, and intend to remain here; there are advantages here for a man with small capital to provide a home, which is a difficu)t matter in that country. We look for the NEW Ea. every Monday as we would a let- t'tn;c.s we get the most important news. Of course a little better work on the Tory side would have made it better news, but I guess it will do to keep the Grits boiling. SWALLOWS HIB LIBEL.—A few weeks prior to the Proviricial election the Mitchell Advocate published a story re- ecting very seriously on Robert Arm- trong, of Morris township, who was be Returning -Officer in East Huron on he occasion of the Gibson -Hays elec- ion. Mt Armstrong instructed—Bar- biter Blair to issue a few Writs on the gentlemen who were slandering him. The first tally was made lastweek, when the Advocate gave place to the following on its front page :— "Some few weeks ago the Advocate stated that on one occasion T. E. Hays bad been robbed of his seat in East Huron throngh the misconduct of the Return- ing Officer. We are now creditably in- formed that there is not a ward of truth in the charge, and that the Returning Officer at no time made any such ad- mission. The Advocate has no desire to intentionaliv do any maxi an injury, and we make the correction with pleas- ure. The information was given us by Mr Hays, and was published in good aith." The Clinton News-Recor d,Brus- els Herald and perheps a few others re to ho heard from yet. Mr Hays ill now be nsked for proof of his state- ent to Mr Davis.—Brussels Post. [If epotts ha true one of these papers will ither have to apologize for an alleged bel ptlh'ilslled during the election catu- algn or else stand a suit.] five appearance. The tone is of the highest quality, being absolutely pure, brilliant and sparkling. The variety of resources In the organ is remarkable. The selections rendered by Prof.Feath- erstone, which were of the highest ord- er,showed very;flne execution!and were -• certainly a credit to him. The choir sustained its fair reputation in the ren- dering of cboirusee and anthema show- ing so much tact. Mme. Wall and R. B. Foster sang in their grand style,and received much applause: On Sunday evening the church was full to over- flowing, ai d,we are sure,proflted much from the excellent sermon so ably de- livered by the pastor. The choir fairly excelled themselves. Miss Azie Gib - binge presided at the organ and render- ed her selections in grand style; this poling lady' is entitled to considerable f Credit for her proficiency, not being ac- e custonjed to a pipe organ, yet being a able to manipulate L so efficiently as w td Wing out ite frill volume and effect, m On the whale, we must say everything r totissed off satisfactorily and the organ e s a reedit both to the builders and the] li corigl'egation, p TOE CLINTON NEW ERA Reliable Facts and Dependable Qualities.

A. band intends to give an open air concert every Thursday night, when the weather is favorable.

Sterling, of Goderich township, was driving home from town, his horse slipped and frac- tured its leg. Messrs Cantelon Bros. have again commenced the season's egg gathering; it is earlier than usual, but the season is much earlier also. Mr H. Hill has sold his large driver to Mr Trotter, for Brandon, and has bought a young mare from Mr Arthur Cantelon, of Goderich Township. The Provincial Grand Orange Lodge is in session at Palmerston. Among the officers elected for the Grand Black Chapter, is A.M.Todd, D.O. Registrar.

Jackson Bros. report that their busi- ness at Galt is more than meeting their expectations, the trade on Satur- days in particular, being more than they can handle. John Rebb, of Tuckersmith, son of W. Robb, town, shipped 40 head of choice cattle from Portland last week, for the Old Country. R. McMillan, of Huliett, shipped a car at the same time. Sohn Smith, son of Mrs J. Smith of whose illness mention was made last week, passed away on Monday, at the age of 17 years. His mother andsis- tars have the sympathy of the com- tnunityin their bereavement. The Stratford Herald should surely knout better than to credit A.M,Todd with being "formerly of the CLINTON NEw ERn " Perhaps the error is due to the feet that the CLINTON NEW ERA is n household word, and was the first East eaantie to Mind. 4 Direct Importers, CLINTON Announcernent To the Ladies A New Firm Solicits your patronage.
