to the NEvv EitA, says:—"Your inter-
esting paper has kept me posted in the
affairs of many well known places in
old Duron. You should be commend- '
ed also for the space you give to re- 1
ports of religious, educational'and
benevolent work; you take a good
stand on all of these enterprises."
TRE! RECENT ACCIDENT.—The War-
den's Comriiittee met at Goderich, an
Wednesday, to consider what should
be done conceit ning the late accident at
the London Road bridge. Messrs Jas.
Nott and Robt. Craig, who were noti-
fied of the meeting, were represented
by Mr Scott, lawyer, who was request-
ed by the committee to state the claim
of the parties, which he''did. and urged
the propriety of some compensation be-
ing given. The committee did not
commit itself upon the matter, but
took it into consideration.
RAILROAD NOTES. — An excursion
will be run from Kincardine to Port
Stanley on August 5. On Saturday
night the agents along the line received
word that an excursion train would be
run to Brussels from London; this was
too late to notify the public, but the
train came along, having .nine coaches
v, hen it got here, and two passengers;
two others got, o i here, but they only
did so because it happened in before
the morning train; l hat was not a well
managed excursion. Mr Jeffrey, agent
at Londesboro, is away on hisholidays,
his place being supplied by Mr Walker,
relieving agent..
H.
DEAT—The Stratford Herald says:
—The death occurred in Toronto a few
days ago of Mrs T. B. Hanlon,. De-
ceased resided in this city with her
husband, who was a cutter in the em-
ploy of Thornton & Douglas, furnish-
ers, for about seven years. removing
to Toronto about two years ago,where
Mi Hanlon continued at his business.
Recently, however, he secured a situ-
ation at Clinton, but bad not/ yet re-
moved his family there at the time of
his wife's death. Mrs Hanlon's maiden
name was Hawkins and she had resid-
ed in Mitchell previous to her marriage.
Five small children are left to mourn
the loss of their mother. The funeral
took place in Toronto on July 12.
A GREAT C oLLECTION OF ROSES.—
Mr T. Race of Mitchell passed through
the city on Friday night on his way to
Paris where he was todeliveran address
un horticultural subjects. Mr Race
had with him a briquet of a dozen var-
ieties of roses. On Dominion day he
had in hie garden no less than 134 sep-
arate varieties. of roses in full bloom.
One of the leading horticulturalists of
the country says that Mr Race's collect-
ion of roses is in all probability the best
amateur collection in the whole Dom-
inion.—Stratford Beacom. [Good as
Mr Race's collection is, he must take a
hack seat in competition with Town
Clerk Coats, whose varieties number
over 200 in full bloom.]
A PRETTY BOUQUET. — Canadian
flowers are so variegated and striking
in their colors that one is safe in de-
scribing almost any bouquet as a pret-
ty one, but the NEw ERA was favored
with one the other day that was both
unique and pretty, being made up al-
most entirely from wild grasses and
wild flowers in bloom, and containing
the following varieties, in addition to
half -a -dozen different kinds of wild
grass:—Blue flag, scented water lily,
white; yellow water lily; Marsh hedge,
Fern, Blue vervian, Canada mint, Os-
wego tea, Bindweed, Ox -eye daisy,
Stitchwort, Prairie over, Wild rose
and common Milkweed. It was gath-
ered and put together by Nathaniel
Baerof Colborne, who had gone to
considerable trouble in securing and
arranging it.

CANADA'S APPEAL TO BRITAIN :
—In the July No. of the Canadian
Home Journal appears the following
concerning a poem which recently ap-
peared in the NEW ERA: —Notwith-.
standing the very loyal defense of
England's position with regard to the
Eastern Question, by "M. G." in the
May number of the dome Journal, my
attention was favorably attracted to
some verses going the rounds written
by Miss Clara Mountcastle, of Clinton,
Ont., entitled "Canada's Appeal 'to
Britain." I feel sure they will awaken
an echo in many a reader of the Home
Journal, and if there are some who do
not feel so inspired, yet I am sure that
every woman will feel proud that such
strong verses—much stronger than any
I know of from the Poet Laureate of to-
day—have come from the pen of one
of their own sex.—F.M.B.
THE . CLINTON TRW ERA
Mori tnui N'--,N.essrtr lveule JL ta.truver
of Cli Marble works, have taken an
order ora fine red granite monument
to be erected in tiroderich cemetery to
the menioryotthe late Henry Ford.
Recently a Mr Bell, of Orangeville,was
vino nig here, and was sc. much pleased
with the excellence of their work, that
he gave them an order for a worm -
meat for his wife, to be placed in Or-
angeville Oemetery.
A meeting of Y.P.L.U, was held in
Rattenbury St. Church on Friday eve,
ning, with the President, Mr A. T.
Cooper presiding. Two very fine ad-
dresses were given, one by Mr Baer,
Baptist, on "The Spirit of Christ in
everyday life;" the other by Mr• Mc-
Leod, Presb'terian, on "The County
Convention.' As the evening was ex-
tremely hot, the attendance was smal-
ler than usual, and,,, almost entirely
made up of ladies, it being possible to
count the gentlemen on the fingers of
one hand.
TRIELES.—The sun has done consid-
erable scorching the past week. Tan
on the face is a surer sign of having
had a vacat:.on than tan on the shoes.
The man who says it is warm should
be called on to prove it. A man may
now wear a straw hat without being
guyed. Strawberry season is alrnost
over. It pays to advertise in the NEw
ERA. If I bad my choice of occupa-
tions sighs a tired man, "I'd be a school
teacher for the next two months."
The voters' lists for the several muni-
cipalities will soon be cut. This will
he an important list, as the next pro-
vincial election will be held on it; the
name of every qualified voters should
he on it. A certain man in town who
is awakened every morning at four
o'clock by the crowing and cackling of
his neighbor's chickens, says he is go-
ing to have the chickens arrested un-
der the statute that forbids the - use of
fowl language.
OBITUARY.— Concerning the:late H.
C. Pugh, a Bluevale correspondent
writes:—One of the pioneers of Turn -
berry passed away last week in the
person of Henry C. Pugh, at the home
of his daughter in Clinton. Mr Pugh
has been very feeble for some years
and on jubilee morning the firing of a
cannon in Clinton startled him,causing
a blood vessel to burst. He lay in a
paralized condition till the end of last
week, when death relieved him. Mr
Pugh was horn in Staffordshire, Eng-
land, off Welsh parents, and married a
wife who is stilt living in the old conn -
try. They emigrated to London, Can-
ada. then to Clinton, and 39 years ago
came to Blnevale, and last winter re-
turned to Clinton to reside with their
daughter, Miss Lucy. Mr Pugh sang
in choirs in England and was precentor
in the Bluevale Presbyterian church
for many years. Mr Pugh leaves a
widow, four daughters and four sons:
Mrs Weir; Liza and Lucy of Clinton,
and Susan of Glen Williams; William'
of Algoma, John of Brussels, and Jos-
eph and James of this village. He lack-
ed but three months of reaching the
ripe old age of 90 years.
NOTES,—Mr. W. Cudmore, the well-
known hay and cattle dealer, has
shipped nearly 300 cars of hay during
the past season, and made the lastship-
ment on Wednesday; any bay that he
handles now will have to be this year's
crop. Geo. Moffatt, of Turnberry, who
was killed by a train on Friday, was
married to a niece of Andrew Ginn, of
town. A lot of fine hay has been
gathered in during t he past week, and
next week farmers will commence cut-
ting their fall wheat, which promises
to be a first-class crop. Mr. Hoover
has rented the house on the west cor-
ner adjoining that of Mr. Frank Hod -
gens. The dry weather is drying up
the creeks. Mr. Geo. Haxby, barber,
is -putting an electric fan in his shop.
°Thursday, August 5, has been pro-
claimed Clinton Civic Holiday. The
intense heat of last week experienced
a delightful change on Sunday, when
it got SD cool that some persons did not
feel comfortable without their over-
coats; the weather since has been equal-
ly temperate. James Wray died at the
House of Refuge on Friday. In order
that cyclists might have the benefit of
a new moon, it has been decided to
change the time of the Cyclist Lawn
Social, at Holmesville, to the 30th .of
July—a week later than originally in-
tended. "A town councillor" is wrong
in his statement that the Council de-
,cided to do nothing more with Isaac
street than open and grade it; the res-
olution of council passed last year was
that "nothing more bedoneat present"
the understood intention of the coun-
cil certainly being that the road would
be ultimately gravelled, Jubilee stamps
are in demand, and are going up in
value; on Thursday 8 six -cent stamps
sold for 50 cents each, and the buyer
calculated that he would double his
money on them. Mrs Anna -toss and
family take their departure for Toronto
the end of next month, where she en-
ters on her dirties as manager of a
Presbyterian Training School; she will
assuredly be missed here for she has
been most active in church work. A

onto for $1000. It matured on July 1st
