VOTER'S LIST APPEALS.—The Con- fiecvatives have entered about forty ap- • peals against the voter's list for this yyear;, and the Liberals have enteted a }Ike number Many of these are per- • sons who have come to town since the assessment was made. DEATIt.—The Brantford Expositor sale:—"Pec F. Hook, the 18 -year Barnado boy, died 'on Saturday, at • the hospital of brain fever. The lad Jaad no friends in Canada." [This boy was employed with John Holmes, Huron road, for three years.] HE'S A. PIONEER, --Alfred Moore,who ',is employed with Mr Fair, certainly takes rank as one of the oldest citizens "of Clinton.be having been a continuous 'resident here since 1854. He has seen it grow from little more than a blaze on a tree to a prosperous and hustling 'town of considerable importance. HAD TO UE KILLED.—On Sunday "last the driving mare owned by Robt. 'Coats, caught its leg over a barbed wire fence, and in its efforts to extri- cate itself, cut the leg so severely that aooti'hing could be done to save 4t, and ".'rwas toured necessary to kill the ani- mal to end its sufferings. It had reach- ed the mature age of 21 years. RINAWAY.•—A few days "ince while S. H, Stoitit was mit, buying cattle, he got out of the r ig i o open a gate, leav- 'i;ng the horse standing just a moment, but that moment . was the horse's op- portunity, and it bolted down the road, smashing the buggy almost to pieces in a few minutes, a going a distance �z of six mile.s•before re was captured. l�".. HOUSE OF REFUGE NOTES.—Sarah A. Reid, wife of Richard Reid, of Sea- forth. died at the House of Refuge. on the 24th, aged 52 years; she had only :K+ been an inmate for a few days. Jas.

UNVEILING CEREMONY. — Quite a large crowd gathered at the cemetery mn nyy of afternoon twitnesso unveiling the monument er- ected d ememorhe Woodmen of the late Ben e Thom linson. The members of the Order, headed by the Salvation Army band, marched to the cemetery, where J. B. Hoover. as the local of icer,took charge of the set vices, and the form provided in the ritual was gone through with. C. C. Hodgius, of Lucan, made an ad- dress in harmony with the occasion,af- ter which the order marched back to town. ry • PROFIT IN Pias.—Pigs seem to be a profitable investment to farmers, judging by the following circumstance: —W. Weir, who, by -the -way is one of the best farmers in Ontario, had a few hogs decided tot keep trut ned ack ck of whatto a clover eit ld he cost to feed them besides, and found at the time of their sale, when they realized $250, their feed bad just cost $90. Another farmer in this vicinity had three sows, each of which had two litters last year, and be realized $500 therefrom. This year he bas five sows, Puri he expecte to make $1000 from the sale of their progeny. LOCKED IN A ROOM,—The following, from a Toronto paper, refers to a bar- rister who former ly resided in Clinton: John C. McDougall,oi 76 Empress et es - cent, is under arrest, charged with in- timidalingl Barrister Frank R. Powell. Mtorreturln a losaan of $40 bes that n he refused had secured from McDougall,and presented a count- er account .of 560, McDougall caught him by the throat and threw hien against the wall. This was Fi iday af- ternoon. In the evening McDougall came back again, locked Powell into a room and demanded some documents held in his possession. Powell was con- fined in the room nearlyan hour before he secured his release. iiRUiT ]STEALING.—There ate some boys around town who are likely to get themselves into serious trouble if they don't behave themselves better. Some . fruit was left in the Horticultural hall after the fall show, and boys broke in- to the building, destroyed the fruit and went r property.. ut to p pick some pears, and folaund found that three trees had been entire- ,ly stripped of the fruit. A NEW MUSICAL INSTRUMENT,—Coir Hoare has just purchased a new and unique musical instrument, known as an Automatic Regina; it is a recent American Invention, something after the character of a music box, and is Capable of producing some exceptional- - 1'p fine music. Mr Hoare, who has fre- quent calls to supply music on the. glasses, for evening entertainments, is better prepared than ever to entertain the people. LOST HIS GRIP.—The other da -7 while T. Jackson,uf the firm of Jackson Bros, was returning from Toronto, he placed his grip between a couple of seats— as it often done. When he went, to get it shortly after, he found some one had taken it, but whethei intentionally or by mistake, of course he cannot say. What makes the loss all the more ag- gravating, is the fact that it contained his order with er of orders therein, all of n which wiuite a llhahave to be taken over. IN THE rut WEST.—The NEW ERA is in receipt of a letter from Jas. Ball, (son of the late Henry Ball, of Hulett) whois now a member of the North- west Mounted Police, with headquar- ters at Maple Creek. He apparently ,likes life in the great and boundless west, but keeps himself in touch with his old home by reading the EEw ERA every week. It is surprising how the Huron boys are scattered in all parts of the globe, for we are continually receiving letters from them in the four quarters of the earth, '0l The Right Mantle Styles There is ample proof that we are showing Z '\` Mantle Styles that are correct in every detail in the way we are selling this early in the sea- son.

T, R., at the assizes returned a verdict of $3,750 damages and costs for plaintiff, Chas. W. Jones, of Woodstock, who was struck by the engine of a freight train art a crossing in St. Marys a year ago last month. 1t was claimed that Ilei - tiler the whistle nor the bell were +sounded by the trainmen, and Jones could not see the approaching train owing to a fence near the track and a �tl field of high corn.

The occasion was a farewell to Mr Richard Foster, a prominent member of the choir, who is removing to Detroit. After refreshmeots had been served ba shortthe haddress, expressing Rev. Mr Clement high esteem in which Mr Foster is held and the high value placed upon his ser- vices by the congregation, presented him, on behalf of the choir, with a beautiful diamond ring. Mr Foster, being taken by surprise, made a brief reply, in which he expressed his ap- pr'eciation of the gift presented to him, and assured the choir that his associa- tions with them would ever be pleas- antly remembered by him. • iiIoES TO MONTREAL. --The Toronto Star says. --"varsity's champion nth fete and star half back, McMordie, will leave for Montreal this week to take a situation there.

During the past week, Mr Hartman, represent- ing an entertainment bureau of New York, has been co-operating with local parties to secure a popular course of en- tertainments for the winter,and secur- ing sufficient encouragement to war rant them in proceeding, an agreement has been signed, which binds the local community to an outlay of over $400. Tickets fora conrse of five entertain- ments are sold to subscribers at $1,with the privilege of securing reserved seats on payment of 10 cents extra for each entertainment. As the entertainments are strictly first-class, it is expected that the citizens will liberally patron- ize the course. Tickets may be secur- ed in advance at Jackson Bros. store.
