QUITE A Loss.— Mr G. Acheson. of Goderich, was called to Staples on Sat- u#rday, , owing to one of the stave mills, i of which he is part owner, being de- astroyed by fire. The company owns r ,several mills in the same locality, and f . had there been any wind the night of t �, the fire, it would have been impossible t save any of them, but fortunately there was no wind.

R. sheds here, would be promoted to a station agency. The ;appointment has since been made, and ,•he has left to take charge of St,.Jacobs, a station between Galt and Berlin. His departure removes a good steady yeilta1g man from the town, and we harbeaao doubt be will prove his effic- xeucy:there as he has here.

Strachan and Jaute,Yateii, Guderica, were appljt ants for the vacant position of Assistant Collector of Customs, caused by the dent h of Captain D,tnc•ey. Bol h ar e good men, and both had strong party claims. At a meeting of the Executive Committee of the West Riding Liberal Association, (a gnuruitt of four being present.) three voted recommending Mr Yates for the position. The Govern- ment, however, appointed MrStrachan. HOUSE of REFUGE. — The idiotic youth, Brindley, who has been an in- mate of the House since last October, will be sent to Orillia asylum next wsak. A. Foote, Stanley, was added to the list of inmates this week. A. Nicholson, McKillor, is expected as a temporary inmate next week. An old roan named Harvey, who hurt his hack some time ago, is very low. Sums of the inmates were allowed out to enjoy the 12th, and others visited Goderich yesterday. Rev Mr Keling- ton conducted the religious services last Sunday for Rev Mr Newcombe, HEADED THE LIST.—Last week the NEW ERA published over twelve col- umns of original local and township matter, which was either written by its own reporters or contributed by its own correspondents. The matter was mostly condensed, and bad it all been put in paragraphs, as is done by some papers. would have made several col- umns more. There is not a weekly newspaper In Ontaric, published in a place the size of Clinton, that gives as much original home news as does the NEW ERA.. We have a staff of corre- spondents we are proud of, and we hope they will never "grow weery in doing well." LARGE..T SALE Qr t1ACatNEBY EVER MADE 1N TIIE WEST.—The Indian Head Vidette has the following reference to the work of two former Clintonians:—The John Abell "Cook of the North"Advance threshing out fits still lead the van. Messrs. Churchill & Steep, ably assisted by Mr. Drumm on ', gen- eral agent for the firm in Winnipeg, sold to the amount of $ 6,000 worth of this cele- brated machinery last week. The sale in- clude three large outfits with Uelffeeders and wind stalkers, The firms who pur. chased large outfits are as follows: Partridge Bros., of Sintaluta ; MoDiarmid, Radcliffe & Co., of Rose Valley, and the Anderson Thresbicg Co , of Kenfis.' Those:outfits are the largest ever sent to the west, and com- prise the fallowing machinery: Three com- pound traction engines, which generate thirty-five horse power each; three advance separators, thirty -Six inch cylinder and six• ty inch body, with Parson's self -feeder and Cyclone wind stacker attached. This firm also sold two large portable outfits to good parties in the district. HOW A SENSATIONAL YARN SPREADS. —How a sensational yarn, which has no foundation in fact, will travel all over the country is remarkable, Dur- ing the last ten days the NEW ERA has been asked the particulars of an accid; ent which is reported to hays occurred in Logan or McKillop township, and in which seven men were alleged to have been killed. The story was that a mother who bad previously killed a number of chickens, left two little children alone in the house for a few minutes, and one of them secured the decapitating knife and proceeded to butcher the other. When the mother returned she was horrified bey( rad measure, and ran outside,where a barn raising was in progress, uttering un- earthly screams. The men were so patic stricken that they allowed a beam to fall,with the result that seven of their companions were killed. This yarn was current in town and we en- deavored to have the rumors verified, but without success. The story was a complete fabrication, but it is likely that it will spread to the uttermost. corners of the province before it wears out. LAWN BOWLS.—On Tuesday the Lon- don Lawn Bowling club came here and had a game with two rinks of the Clin- ton club, losing one match and gaining the other. The score stood : London Clinton M J Rent, J Rattenbury, T Blackiney J Ransford, J McDougall, J Fair A Parini, skip 11 W Jackson, skip....ls T Stevenson, D McCorvie, J Pritchard, W W Farran, J Weld, J Johnston, E Weld, skip 18 D A Forrester, skip„09 Total ..29 Total 22 On Wednesday the following players, comprising three rinks, went to Sea - forth to play in the tournament there: Messrs Jackson, Ransford, Rattenbury, Fair, Irwin, Johnston, McCorvie, Har- -, ...; _"rrt:,SiF;ltzf;x00171ig Tisdatl. Will Jackson's rink beat Par - fill's of London, by a score of 22 to 1.4; he also beat Weir's of Seaforth by a score of 14 co 13; also Johnston's 'of Clinton, 14 to 13; Shannon's rink,Gode- rich,beat Jackson's,score 26 to 12;John- son's rink beat Sheppard's of Goderich, score 24 to 16. Forrester's rink heat Sheppard's of Goderich, score 16 to 10; and also Dr. Hunter's of Godericb, 17 to 12; Coleman, Seaforth, beat Forres- ter's rink, 16 to 15; Weir, Seaforth beat Forrester, 17 to 15. The tournament was to conclude last night. LACROSSE.— On Monday afternoon, an aggregation of the defunct Daunt- less Lacrosse club and the present jun- ior team went down to Exeter to play an exhibition game with the home team of that place. After the usual preliminary delay the teams lined up at about 4.30. The game though very interesting, was not exceptionally fast, for a number of the Clinton players had not handled the hickory for a couple of seasons. "Paddy” got wind- ed in about twenty minutes and had to rest, whereupon "Bobbie," thinking his fang Syne confrere had fainted, came rushing from the further end with a pail of water. When "Paddy" saw birn corning close he doubted "Bob's" intentions and sprinted out of harm's way, just in time to escape the contents of the pail, which "Bob" sent after him. Only once or twice was the Clinton goal in danger. Shortly after half time E. Holmes on defence, made a lucky catch and throw, landing the ball close to Exeter flags, where Percy Couch secured It and passed it through. P. Matheson, on defence, and Percy Couch, on the home, did excellent work, Percy scoring every time for Clinton. The game resulted in a score of five straight games for Clinton, so that Shorty still holds the reputation of never having lost a goal in Exeter. The Exeter boys were very gentleman- ly and a characteristic feature of the game was the lack of rough play, The sold, Linton players were: --Id. Oantelon, r (five s P. Matheson, E. Holmes, F. Fair, O. I the Dowzer, R. Twitchell, W. Oantelon,1 night W. The New Bridge at Manchester. 0 Monday War•den9lcEwan,Cuunty Commissioner Pat terrain, of East We- wanosh, Road Commissioner Ainsley, and County Clerk W. Lane, tnet at Winghaur to open tenders for the new bridge to he erected at Manchester. Tenders were received separately for the excavating, t he concrete abut Trent, and the iron superstructure. For exeavatiug, the following were the tenders received;—W. Wheatley, Clinton, $508; 0, Kidd, Heneall, $235; Johnston and Kilpatrick, Goderich, 96474; D. McQuaig vlinton, $480: Hovt- son, Lawson and Osbaldeston, Auburn, $517; Jno L rwson, Aubu •n, 1625; W. Symington, Colborne, 5500. Kidd ac- companied bis I ender with a letter say- ing that if he did not get the stone- work, for which he was tendering, he would not do the excavating at his fig- ure, the reason for his beingso much lower than the others was tat he ex- pect .d to use the same machinery for excavating that he would have for the stones. The amount to he excavated is about 2600 yards, and the Committee thought. all the tenders too high,(Kidd's not being enter tained,) and decided to let it ort by private contract. The tenders for the concrete ahut- tnents were:—Jos. Naegle. Colbor ne, $5.95 per cubic yard; G. Kidd, $5 per cubic yard; Frank Guttridge, Seaforth, $4 per cubic yard. The tender of the last named was accepted. Tenders for the iron superstructure were as follows:—Hamilton Bridge Co„ $1330; Stratford Bridge Co., $1250: Kincardine Bridge Works, $1150, the latter being accepted. This is the same Company that built the bridge across the Bayfield River, Clinton, and also the Goderich Stand -pipe. LEFT OVER.—We have in type two communications on the prohibition question, both from wi 11 known tem- perance advocates—yet both are oppos• ei to prohibition. They will appear next week. This is a live question,and the pros and cons are worthy of serious consideration. TRIFLES. — Raspberries, black and red currants and cherries are a good crop. Many farmers finished haying by last Saturday; by to -morrow night. the hay crop will be about harvested; it is a good yield, and has been well saved. Fall wheat harvest commenced on Monday, but will not he general until next week; the frost has slightly affected it. PERMANENT WALES.— The Sarnia Observor, in discussing the relative merits of plank and granolithic walks fur that town, makes some statements which are as applicable to Clinton as to Sarnia, and we commend them to the attention of all interested. It says: A granolithic walk can be laid at $1 per square yard. Outside the business cen- tre and principal streets three-foot walks are sufficient to accommodate pedestrian traffic, and on the principal residence streets five foot walks are of ample width. The cost of a three foot walk to each owner of a fifty -foot lot would be $17, and for a five-foot walk it would be $28. It has been provided that the payments may be spread over ten years, which would place the an- nual cost for that period at about $2 for three-foot walks, and $3 for five- foot walks on each lot. The property owner will also be exempt from pay- ing the share be is now assessed for, of the construction of plank walks in oth- er parts of the town. These walks have the advantage of being perman- ent, lash g a life -time, and free from the ohjecti ns that make plank walks a gradually increasing nuisance from the time they are laid until they fall to pieces through decay and have to be torn up. .The cosi, as has been shown, is trifling, and such as the property owners on any street in the town could easily bear. With such advantages in favor of the granolithic pavernent, there should be an end to the construc- tion of new plank walks in Sarnia. and the old ones ought to he speedily re- placed by the more modern, cleaner and more durable pavement. NOTES, —Frank Clatworthy, who has taken charge of McClacherty's bakery, has had extender! experience in all the larger cities. John Lanxon left us a fine sample of very fine , table earrots on Saturday.

There was a notice- able frost on Sunday night which nip- ped corn, peas, and such like tender plants; it is also said to have affected fall wheat; Wm. Robb this week re- ceived word from his son Fred, who is located in the Park River, Dakota, district, saying that he and many other farmers had suffered.
