OYCLERB.—Quite a number of the lo-

O-W.A., from which very decided ben-
efits are expected. Others who wish
to join should notify Mr Karn at once.
The first club run is expected to take
place on the evening of Friday, May 28.
EXPORTS.—The United States re-
turns of imports from Canadian cus-
toms -ports show that for the quarter
ending Dec. 31. 1896, the exports to the
`United States, from the ports of Gode-
rich and Clinton, amounted to the sum
of $54,997.

.other day, BertPotts got a nasty cut
len the skull, by the horses slewing to
;one side, his bead striking against a
beam. It required several stitches to
;::fix up the wound.
COLLISION.—On Thursday evening
the tandem bicycle, ridden by a couple
of young men, and Mr Jacob Taylor.
,on his bicycle, came into ,collision on
Albert St. It looked as if all parties
were to be seriously hurt, .but very
fortunately the chief injury was to the
'tvheels.
e*ocrc SHIPMENTS. — D. Oantelon
"ade a shipment of hogs to Collin-
-Wood on Tuesday, and C. J. Wallis
:.'made a shipment to Ottawa; the price
ipaid was from $4.75 to $4.80, with the
•'ltnarket firm. Next week Mr Sid
Smith expects to ship over one hun-
dred bead of export cattle.
POISONED.—Last week Hugh Rorke,
of the Organ Factory, was laid off ow-
ing to a slight case of blood poisonine;
he had a boil on the side of his face,
and pricked it with a steel brad, which
in some way poisoned it, causing for
the time an unpleasant wound, but it
is now better. Mr Geo. Lyons has a
pretty sore hand, caused by some Par-
is green getting into a slight wound.
SENT UP.—On Frialay a couple of
tramps, who gave their names as Thos.
Hiscox, Strathroy, and George Robin-
son, of anywhere, were comitted to
jail for 25 days by the Mayor, for tres-
passing upon the G. T. R. property and
stealing a ride. Cenitable Westcott,
'of Exeter, went to Goderich the same
'weewith a man from that village] who
wag committed to stand his trial for
alleged abuse to his wife.
DESTRUCTIVE.—The "hump, of de-
struction" seems to be abnormally de-
veloped in some boys. Last week
some youth deliberately broke one of
the Electric Light globes, and a few
days before some others broke about
thirty panes of glass in the cold -stor-
age building owned by James Steep.
Unfortunately, parents are the ones
`who suffer for acts of this kind, astthey
have to make good the damage.
rWILL THEY DO IT.—If the people of
' this town would unitedly determine to
!.work for the interests of Clinton—and
'for it alone—they would soon place it
an such a position that it would out-
strip all others. Its central location
and natural advantages give it a pres-
`ti
age of considerable importance, and it
y needs more determined effort to
Make itmove forward commercially
and Jlumerically.
SCHOOL BOARD.—At the meeting of
he Public School board on Monday
evening the report of Principal Lough
:hewed an average attendance for the
month of April of 4I4; objection was
taken to the new hardwood floors, and
:preference for pine expressed; it was
also stated that the cadet corps was
not a success, Several accounts were
I,paid. Misses Leslie and Doherty were
re-engaged for the balance of the year.
COLLAPSED.—On Wednesday morn -
Mg ,the frame building south of King's
bakery on Albert Street, slipped from
;its supports and collapsed. It has
been regarded as dangerous for some
'time. Cantelon Bros. used it as a
packing house, and.Mr Wm. Oantelon
'lad only just stepped outside when it
arae down. It had about $100 worth
If eggs in it at the time, many of
which were destroyed. The building
is owned by •Mr McGee, of Egmond-
vrlle, who will not realize very much
,from it.
Ew INDUSTRY.—Mr H. "B. Combe
as ,s rented part of the Perrin Block,
-which will be fitted up as an office and
," Laboratory for the manufacture of
130o:mo-Saline,which is a arc rfumed san-
rltaty sea -salt, possessinges number of

Isis, ED SUCCESSFULLY.—W. J. Kay,
6 mot Clititonian and son-in-law of
John Gibbins, recently graduate d
redieine at the Detroit College of
ecllcine. He Was one of the eight
ol *bee excused from the final ex-

case of
disputed wages between James Wat-
ters and S. S. Cooper; the claim was
for $42, part of which was disputed ov-
er time. Mr Cooper acknowledged an
indebtedness of $24, hut disputed the
balance, $18. Mr Holt appeared for
Mi Watters, Mr Cooper conducting
his own case. Mr Forrester hjtnded in
a sealed verdict, awarding the plaintiff
$27 and costs.
A JUBILEE OELEBRATION.—It has
been -decided to hold a Jubilee Celebra-
on the 22nd of June, and good strong
committees have been selected to make
preparations. It is intended to have
the morning devoted to processions of
yarious natures, while all forms of
amusement will be provided for the af-
ternoon and evening. Only one adm's•
Sion fee will be charged, and the com-
mittee intend to make the celebration
excel anything of the kind ever held
in the county.
HEADS THE PROCESSION.—The NEW
ERA's advertisers may be interested in
knowing that although •three weeks
ago we put in about $75 worth of new
type and borders, we hare this week
added a similar —amount of the latest
advertising faces. We venture the as-
sertion that we have a larger and bet-
ter assortment of type, borders, etc.,
than can be found in any country of-
fice in Ontario, wilh the single excep-
tion of the Acton Free Press, and we
are ordering more. If you want fine
printing send us your orders.
LAcRossx•—president Craig, of the
Canadian Lacrosse Association, has re-
arranged the districts, placing Clinton
in the Bruce district, composed ofClin-
ton, Exeter, Goderich, Lucknow, Kin-
cardine, with F. D. Noble, Clinton, as
District Secretary. A meeting of the
representatives of these clubs will be
held here at an early date to arrange a
schedule of matches, etc. The boys
should have no difficulty in putting a
winning team on the field this season,
if they get the support of the towns-
people. They are practising hard un-
der Captain Hanlon, getting in shape
for the Queen's Birthday, as they ex-
pect to play in Exeter on that date -
They are also putting a junior team in
a league composed of two teams from
Seaforth, one from Egmondvl',lle, and
Clinton juniors. They should have a
good season's sport, and give the cit-
izens some good exhibitions of the nat-
ional game.
GRANOLITHIC SIDEWALKS. — Last
year the town council laid down a
granolithic or concrete sidewalk on Al-
bert street in front of the Town Hall.
This was done as an experiment. The
walk has stood the winter well, except
that a couple of cracks occur where
the water got beneath it, and has given
the beseof satisfaction. There is little
doubt that it will endure while the
world stands if no ear thq, wake or oth-
er subteranean disturbance occurs to
interfere with it. The town council
should build some more in the same
manner this year, with the intenl,ion
that the work he continued year by
year in tbis way until both sides of
Albertestr eetare laid with this material.
the cost being paid out of current rev-
enue as the work proceeds, It is a
permanent improvement, and in tr.e
end much cheaper than constantly re-
pairing plank walks. It should be ex-
tended some distance south this year.
NOT PROFITABLE. --Over three years
ago a local horseman who had a dandy
team of horses, concluded that he
would send them to the old country,
where there was a promise of realizing
a good figure for them. Thatthey
were a good team may be judged from
the fast that $375 were refused for
them here. They were sent over as a
part of some other shipments being
made, and landed in Liverpool in good
order, the owner having advanced5100
to cover the cost of transportation.
For some reason they were not sold on
their arrival, but were left in the hands
of a dealer who was supposed to look
after them and dispose of them. Time
went on, and all efforts on the part of
the owner to get the value of his team
were unavailing; one excuse after an-
other'was gioven, until the animals had
either eaten their heads off, or been
driven to death, and the only return
whatever that the shipper got was $15,
which he received last week, as the
surplus of the cost of transportation.
PLEASED WITH HIs TRIP.—Mr
Ransford spent part of last week
in Ottawa, his business being to lay
before some of the Ministers the grie-
vances under which the salt trade lan-
guishes, and to ask for some considera-
tion in any future tariff changes that
may be made. His first interview
was with Si,• Richard Cartwright and
Hon. R. R. Dobell; Mr Ransford says
that Sir Richard received him most
courteously and considerately, listen-
ing attentively to all that could be said
on behalf of the salt interests, and ad-
mitting before the interview was over
that the salt manufacturers had a'ser-
ious grievance which should,if possible,
be remedied. His next interview was
with the Minister of Finance, hon. Mr
Fielding, and was a pleasant one, not-
withstanding the fact that at the out,
set that gentleman informed him that
he did not think it would he possible to
make any chane in the tariff that.
would be in the Interest of salt manu-
facturers. But after he had listened
to the convincing logic of Mr Ransford,
and in some measure realized the in-
consistency of certain phases of the
tariff as it affected the manufacture of
salt, he courteously acknowledged the
fairness of Mr ltansford's contentions,
and indicated that the Cabinet would
consider the matter, though he could
give no promise of any change being
made, On the whole, Mr Ransford
was well pleased with his reception,
and hopes that his mission will not be
frditless. MrRansfordadmits that he ne-
ver received such' courteous treatment
at the hands of the Ooneervative party
as he did at Ottawa last week from
one who is looked upon by some who
are not acquainted with him as a sort
of ogre. We refer of course to Sir
Richard Cartwright. Mr Ransford
willingly testifies that nobody could
have possibly given him a more pat-
ient, intelligent hearing.. We trust
that the Government wilsee its way
to mere out the same justice to our
Ontario salt as they have to the Nova
Scotia Goal. It is not fair, it seems
most unfair, to protect one industry
and leave another free. What reason
can possibly be assigned for giving
coal in Nova Scotia protection and let-
ting salt bear the burden. Fair play
for all and favoritism to none is our
cry.
