LEAVING.—Mr Dutton has decided to
close up his business here and return
to London, clairning that it does not
pay him to remain here. We are sor ry
that he finds this decision necessary.
Miss Dutton, who has made many
friends during her short sojourn here,
will be•greatly missed, she being a live-
ly spirit in many pleasant gatherings.

PRESENTATION.—On Monday even-
ing the teachers and officers of Rat -
ten bury St. Methodist Sabbath School,
with a few others, were invited to the
home of Mr Foster, Superintendent,
where a pleasant social time was spent.
In the course of the evening, Mr Mill -
yard, addressing Miss Anna Holmes,
presented her with a complete set of
Dickens' works, beautifully bound,as a
recognition of the schools good will.
She made a suitable reply in acknow-
ledgment of the kind gift. She leaves
town to -day, Friday, for the home of
her parents in St. Catharines, by the
morning train.
NOT ALWAYS PUBLIC,—Our local to-
tem says "Every public meeting is
public," and its proceedings should be
reported. Certainly every public meet-
ing is public, but every committee meet-
ing is not public, though the commit-
tee may belong to a public body, and
this is where exception is taken to pub-
lishing full reports. A committee very
often is called upon to transact busi-
ness preparatory to a public meeting,
and it not unfrequently happens that
the business for the time being may be
of a private nature. Generally Beak-
ing, matters of public interest should
be published just as fully or as briefly
as the reporter's judgment may decide.
Some one has said "A good newspaper
man is not so much the one who knows
.what to put in the paper, as the one
who knows what to leave out."

PERSONAL:- Mr. Matthew Hessel-
wood, one of the most highly respected
"f5fiddiii-tii"bf'Hullett, was a caller at the
NEW ERA office on Wednesday. He was
for years a resident on the 'farm now
owned by James Stevens, base line.
Mr Hesselwood's experience shows
what men of pluck and perseverance
can accomplish in this Canada of our*.
Coming to this country as an ordinary
laborer, he and his sons are now the
owners of 300 acres of as fine land as
can be found in H:Sllett, and he has
I'aised a large family besides. Of
course they have had to work hard,
but. that has'nt hurt them, and Mr.
Hesselwood is as active as many of
younger years. In the course of con-
versation he incidentally remarked
that he had paid the late James Stave-
ly over $10,000, which was one fourth
of the total estate of the latter.
VITAL STATISTICS.—The an nual re-
port of births, marriages and deaths
