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.

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,

VERDICT FOR $3,750 DAMAGES.—
r' At %oodstock last week the jury in
• the case of Jones vs. G. 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. [Mr Jones is well-
known here, being a relative of Mrs
Washington.]

PRESENTATION.—Un Tuesday even-
ing last the members of the Ontario
St. Methodist church choir met at the
residence of Mr John Gjhhings. 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

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. •

ENTERTAINMENT COURSE. During
the past week, Mr Hartman, represent-
ing an entertainment bureau of New

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.
The first entertainment will by given
