The NEw ERA has always oppos- ed, the appointment of members of rliament to offices, unless in except- ional circumstances. There may be '.positions that parliamentary life espec- `=ally fits men for, and there are un- do 3btedly some men in Parliament wpwbo deserve recognition, but as a gen- " gnat principle we believe it would be more satisfactory if these appointments tlOmits few as possible.

Sunday VIeITORS TO AND FNOM CLINTON AND VARIoD OTHER PERSONAL NOTES. J. E. J. Millyard occupied the pulpit of the Seaforth Methodist church, on Sunday last. On Tuesday he left for Hamilton. where he will supply the pulpit of the Centenary church for one month. The members of the C. O. P. and visiting brethren from other lodges, will attend Rattenbury St. Church on the morning of July 17, when Rev R. Millyard will preach a special sermon to them. On Sunday morning next Rev A. Yousef will preach in Ontario St. Church, and in Rattenbury St. in the evening. He is a converted Persian who is studying for work among his own people. A unionmeeting of the Leagues of Ontario and -Rattenbury Street was held on Monday evening, when Rev B. Clement was to have given an out- line Bible study on the book of Zeph- aniah, but was unable to be present. The ladies of Ontario St. Church purpose holding their annual lawn so- cial on the grounds of H. R. Welker, on the evening of July 7; there will be a program of music, refreshments, and everything will be done to, make the occasion enjoyable. Since the completion of the grano- lithic walks at Willis Presbyterian church, the grounds have been levelled and terraced, giving them a pretty ap- pearance; the property looks much more valuable by the improvements that have been made. The Baptists of Clinton and the base line have extended a call to Rev Mr Murdock, of Teeswater, which he ac cepted, but the change cannot take place until about the 1st of August, in which case Mr Pocor k will supply for the next three Sundays Rev Geo. Washington, who is a for mer resident of town, and a brother of the Misses Washington, Ratten- bury St., was presented with a very kindly worded address, a handsome easy chair and a set of silverware prior to his departure from Sanford. His new station is Inglewood, in Toronto conference, The garden party on the lawn of St. Paul's Rectory, on Monday evening, was well attended considering that the evening was rather unpropitious. The grounds were illuminated by Chinese lanterns and the electric light formed in the shape of the crescent and cross. Refreshments were served,, and the Goderich band was generous in its sup- ply of excellent music, The proceeds were about $60.

Jasper Wilson, North St., Goderich; Rev. R. H. Hall, Nile; Rev. M. J. Wilson, Benmiller; E. F. Arm- strong, Tuckersmith. These are all the changes in the Goderich District. The Rev. Wm. Stout, of Kirkton, while attending the Synod of Huron, last week, in London, had a very warm contention with members of the Ex- ecutive committee on the management and appropriation of the mission fund of the diocese, and severely criticised several items of money grants to pur- poses and objects to which he took strong grounds of objection and severe- ly animadverted upon the methods of keeping the accounts at the Synod of- fice, It isnot like;y- that the end of the matter is yet in sight, Rev W. G. Richardson, B. A., of Stanley, was inducted at Wyominr, on Tuesday, June 21st, The Sarnia Presbytery was present. Rev Mr Cur- rie, of Thedford, addressed the minis- ter, and Rev Mr Jordan, of Strathroy, the people.

THE COUNTRY IN ITS' GLORY.— Not for a good many years has the country looked so favorable to an immense yie:d of all kinds of grain and fruit as at the piesent time. The present cool weather is just what was required to develop the fall wheat. Harvesting is expected to commence a week earlier than usual. Many farmers have com- menced cutting their hay. The agric- ultural outlook is everything that even the most pessimistic farmer could wish for, except the'slump in prices. Miss Millie Dawson, daughter of Post. master Dawson of London, was very ser- iously injured by a trolley ear. e We shall be glad to have contributions to this column from any of our readers.

McKenzie was appointed delegate to the Alliance Meeting in Toronto, July 5.6, and it was decided that the Executive should meet in Goderich, at the call of the President, as soon as convenient after the Al- liance Meeting. Town Gossip on various subjects The afternoon express train south on the L. H. & B. is frequently late,cwing to the fact that at Blyth and other sta- tions, it has to shunt and couple on stock cat's that are going through to Toronto. It is very annoying, espec- ially to those who have railroad connec- tions to make at other points, and who possibly mise them by the delay. On Monday the train was one hour late, and a gentleman who had arranged for a trip west, was so mach put out that he did not go until the next day. The putting down of a granolithic walk in front of the market square has given rise to some unfavorable com- ment by ratepayers who think the cob- ble walk was lasting and should have been left there. It was certainly last- ing, for very few persons walked on it if they could help it. The cobble walk was good of its kind,but many persons seriously objected to it, and being in a position where there was much travel, it was deemed advisable to change it. We believe there bas been more money spent here on plank sidewalks than would haveaid p for granolithic walks for the entire town,and we also believe it would be a matter of economy in the long run if such walks were built on both sides of the business part of the town. The patching and repairing of wooden walks on the main street should be a thing of the past. Tuckersmith (Intended for last week) WEDDING.— A very happy event tookplace on Wednesday, June 22nd, at Maple Lane, the residence of Mr George Nott, when bis daughter, Eve- lyn, was united in the holy bonds of matrimony with Mr Newton P. Crich, in the presence of about one hundred invited in r ,ed � Precisely_ guests.ectasis at 5 o'clock the rapturous strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march pealed forth from the parlor, played on the piano by Miss Goodwin, of Clinton, as the bridal party appeared on the lawn and took their places under an arch of ever- greens with a background of flowers. he groom was supported by his broth- er, Charlie, and Mt Wesley Nott, brother of the bride, who preceded him, followed by the bridesmaids, Miss Pethalda Nott and Miss Nellie Sandick, of Ingersoll, cousin of the groom, and lastly, gracefully came the bride with her two little nieces, Dottie and Gertie Crich, as maid of honor and fairy maid, the former by the side of the bride carrying the ring in a basket of white roses, the little fairy maid going immediately before, strewing roses on the carpet which the bride crushed beneath her feet. The bride was attired in a suit of cream brocaded silk, .rowned with a wreath of white roses, and carried a beau tiful bouquet of the same and looked charmingly indeed. The little maid of honor look• ed more than sweet in a suit of cream, also crowned with a wreath of white roses. We can not justly describe the fairy maid, who looked a fairy indeed, dressed in white muslin almost cover- ed with crimson roses and wearing a wreath of crimson roses. The brides- maids looked sweetly, each becoming- ly attired, the first in cream flowered crgandie,carrying pink roses and wear- ing pink roses in her hair, and the second in canary silk carrying crimson roses and also wearing crimson roses in her hair. After the ceremony, which was performed by Rev B. Cle- ment, of Clinton, in his usual good style, the wedding party sat down to a sumptuous wedding dinner. The beautiful and costly presents show the high esteem in which the young couple are held. The NEw ERA joins their many friends in wishing Mr and Mrs Crich a long, happy and prosper- ous life.

Oke, son of S. Oke, formerly of this township:— On Monday afternoon between five and six o'clock the news spread throughout the town of a runaway accident in which Char- lie Oke was seriously injured. Upon en- quiry it was found to be only to true, Charlie was engaged in teaching school a few miles southeast of Boissevain, the jour- ney back and forth being made with a horse and gig. On the trip home on Monday af- ternoon his horse ran away. Then what happened? No person is able to tell. The horse ran np to a farmyard, and being rec- ognized, and knowing the animal's inclin- ation to run away whenever an opportunity offered, the farmer at once set out to look for results. A short distance up the road the unconscious form 9f the driver was dire (revered, wounded and bleeding by the way- side. A waggon was procured and the ap- parently lifeless form placed therein and brought to the home of the family in Boisse- vain. All was done that could be but with- out avail, and about 8 o'olook p.m. a pain- less death removed from this world a bright and promising young life without regain- ing consciousness. From the time the bruised form was first examined by the attending physician no hopes were enter- tained, the head and face being badly bruised; and from the fact that the hand was so frequently passed overthe abdomen, internal injury was anticipated. The fun- eral took plane on Wednesday morning un- der the direotion of the Independent Order of Oddfellows deceased having been a member of Boissevain Lodge No. 17, and was the largeet ever seen in Boissevain. The remains were conveyed to the Metho- dist ohne eh, where a service was held. The ohuroh was filled to overflowing, the eurplue extending out on to the street. Deceased having been a member of the choir, his chair was draped in mourning and over the back also hung the insignia of the Order to whioh he belonged; the organ, too, was draped. The Epworth League woe elso present in a body. Many were the kind words spoken by the reverend gentlemen as to deoeased's life, and many earnest appeals were made on beht-lf of the living,—those living a dissolute, sinful and altogether unholy life. Contrasted with that of the life of Charlie, the average young man's life was an ill oomparieoc. He was a true believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, whioh faot goes tar to buoy up the spirits of the aired parents and of the brctbere and sisters who survive him. Upon the bier rested several floral offerings. On leaving the church the prooeseion re- formed and headed by the brass band marched to the oemetery. In line besides the Oddtellows were the school children taught by the deceased, and members of the Epworth League. The burial service being read at the grave, the beautiful and im- pressive burial service of the Oddfellows was rendered, at the close of which the clods of earth were rolled over the remains of a promising and God-fearing young life. The grave was lined with cotton batting, festooned with sprigs of evergreen, Near the bottom the sides were covered with vines of the native enowberry. [Deceased was a cousin of James Stevens, of the base line, near Clinton.] NOTICE. The partnership heretofore existing between Couch & Wilson. as butchers, has been dis- solved by mutual consent.
