•:.'0ItA,TkI OF MRS GRATTAN.—)MrS Alice

HIGEI GRASS.—A citizen stopped to
look at what he at first eupposed, was
the serapping of two men on a lawn on
Huron St., while a third looked on asi
if to see fair play. Drawing nearer,
what was his surprise to find that the
two men, instead of scrapping, had
hol&of the different ends of a six foot
cross -cut saw, and were stooping
down, cutting the grass with it. 'rhe
citizen punched himself to and if he
was awake, then he put on hie specs,
and yet be found the scene was no op-
tical illusion. He bad travelled in
tropical climes where vegetation is
rank and where one can almost see the
growth, but he does not ever remem-
ber to have ever before seen lawn grass
of so gigantic proportions as to require
two men and a sixfoot cross -cut saw to
cut it down.
SUCOESSFVL STUDENTS.—!fl.the list
of students, who encceeded in passing
the examinations of the different years
in Toronto University, published in the
daily papers of Wednesday last, we

ODDFELLOWS. —The Exeter con es-
,
pondent of the London Advertiser
says:—"One of the most successful dis-
trict meetings of the I.O.O.F. ever held
in Exeter took place this evening in
the beautiful hall of Exeter Lodge, No.
67, 1 0. 0. F,, representatives being
present, fr orn 0 oderich, Olin Ion, Sea -
forth, Hensel), Brucefleld and Exeter.
After the business of the district was
disposed of, Hensel] Lodge degree
team conferred the initiatory degree
on two candidates, brought by Sertforth
Lodge for that purpose, in excellent
form. Afterwards Clinton degree
team, (and there is no better team in
this province) conferred the first and
second degrees, excelling 1 hernsel ves
in all particulars of the work. At the
close the whole companY adjoui ned to
the Buckingham Palace, where Mine
Host Buckinghaan had prepared a
sumptuous repast. Brief but brilliant
speeches were delivered by members
of the different lodges. There were
over 150 inetnbers present."
Cactus IN WEST HORON.—Latest re.
pm ts of the growing crops in West
Huron are favorable, as the cessation
of the rain and a bright, though not
over warm sun, has given every grow-
ing plant afresh start. Enquiries from
residents of the different municipalities
enables us to give the following state-
ments:—Hay, generally heavy crop.—
Fall wheat, splendid growth, and herr-
ing rust, bids fair to be one of the
heaviest yields for years. Spring sown
krains show vigorous growth on light
and high lands, and though there was
considerable fear of it being drowned
on clay lands, the fear has been partiy
dispelled by the present clear weather.
But few potatoes have been planted,
and as these are early ones, mostly in
light soils, they hays suffered hut little.
Fruit still shows well, apple buds being
fairly plentiful and strong. Pear bloss-
oms are abundant, and as few have
been injured either by insect or frost,
a large quantity of fruit should be
gathered. Plums though not as plen-
tiful as in '96, show up fairly well, and
should give an average, while cherries,
currants. gooseberries; and strawber-
ries will also give an average.
STATION NOTES—Mr Ferri tor, train
master, Stratford, paid a short visit to
town Monday. A. 0. Pattison was at-
tending court at Chatham this week.
The G.T:R, base ball team will play the
Clarendon block, at the School groand
Thursday night, June 17, commencing
at 7 o'clock; this will be the leading
game of the season, and no one should
miss it. Ca ntelon Bros. are making big
shipments of butter to Montreal and
Halifax. D. .jantelon -shipped a car of
hogs to Mitehell on Tuesday. D. A.
Forrester shipped a car of flax to Pat-
terson, N.J. James Fair shipped two
cars of flour to Montreal, and one car
to Lucknow. Doherty & Co. shipped
two cats of organs to Liverpool. On
Wednesday three small boys were up
before the Mayor for a reprimand, one
of the number having broken the seal
of a car, and all entering and helping
themselves to the wheat it contained ;
as none of them was more than eight
years of age, and did nct fully realize
the nature of their offence, the only
prinishnsent inflicted was a verbal rep-
rimand. Mr Pattison states that older
boys take liberties with cars which
they should not, and he simply desires
to warn them that they will be severely
punished if the offences are not stopped
So FAR AND YET SO NEAR.—A caller
at this office on Tuesday was Mr Geo
Morris, of the Nile. Even in the
region of that stream of uncertain wa-
ters he had heat d of, aye, even perused
the NEW ERA and, spare our blushes,
listened to the verbal discourses of its
versatile editor. Mr Morris is a 63
year resident of Colborne township, a
son of the "Patriarch" of that name,
who died -about it year ago, and Whose
memory is inevitably interwoven in
the history of that township. Our vis -
(nor took a run out to the House of
Refuge. Though it was not visiting
day, Inspector Coats telephoned Mana-
ger French and Mr Morris was received
with the courtesy due one of the Kings
of the Soil. He was shown through
the building and the various workings,
cost of maintainence of inmates etc„
explained to him. He was highly pleas-
ed with all he sew, and to find how in-
expensively and well our unfortunate
fellowcreaturos are cared for at, this
useful county instil tition, Mr Morris
thinks the location an admirable one,
both on account of the centrality, and
the natural adaptability of the grouird
for its chosen purpose. He considers
that much praise is clue the late Reeve
McMurchie for hi judgment and ener-
gy in having the institution an accom-
plished fact.

Town Council
The regular meeting of the eourica
was held on Monday evening. Dr.
Shaw, as Medical Health Officer, com-
plained of the btailding south of King's
bakery as being; in an unsanitary con-
dition. The Inspector was instructed
to notify Mr J. fa. Elliott, who repre-

ed an invitation. to the council to co-
operate with the lodges ef all the -Fra-
ternal and Benevolent Societies here
in attending the Diamond Jubilee ser-
vices in a body, to be held in St. Paul's
church on Sunday,•June 20th, at 3,30.
The Secretary of the Underwriter's
Association stated that the proposed
additions to the fire appliances were
satisfactory, but the Inspector would
not waive the right to tna,ke a surp_rise
test. It was moved by Reeve Ken-
nedy, seconded by Coun. Hoover, that
the Inspector be allowed to make any
test he desired, but that the souncil
would prefer it to he made after six
o'clock at night. Moved in amend-
ment by Deputy -Reeve Cooper, secon-
ded by Coun. Walker that no surprise
test be allowed between 6 a.m.. and 6

Just now we are running a special ten oent window containing an as-
