It is beautifully printed, the ngravrngs all standing out with dis- inctneas not marred by bad presswork 'While its descriptive matter appears to 11 the bill exactly. e y. We notice that ie Bremner modestly claims honor the "write up," his hand has evid- y ,,i�fddI.lost• its cunning, for he was airt'✓ago known as one of the best ;Writers on the London press, and the Writer has pleasant recollections of Ar- '.bhie when both were case -hands on the ;Free Press. SEEMINGLY Too MUCH RAIN.— The ,'almost daily showers for a week or ten ;.:days past are being viewed by the far - /hers with some apprehension. At one time drought threatened to almost de- etroy the spring crops, but they have been redeemed, and now the fear is that there will be more than sufficient for the hay and fall wheat. both of ?;`which are now being harvested. Some flay standing out has already been turned several times, and the quality ; kill necessarily be inferior. Wheat, r') too, in some instances, is rusting from "continuous bad weather. Tha root crop never looked better. The wea- •uther that has been somewhat of an in- ''' `;;jury to the hay and wheat has been `::the making of the root crop, and on "the whole an abundant harvest is in store, if the weather would only fair alp to Admit of the early crops being ..:properly housed. ,.y.r.},TRIFLEs.—Never put off till to -mor - 't row what you ought to have done the 'day before yesterday.

Raspberry time',is here again. This was not a dry July at any rate. Civic Holiday is next Thursday. CUSTOMS RETURNS FOR 1896.7.—The `• " Customs returns for the port of Gode- tich, which includes the outposts of Linton, Kincardine, Seaforth and ingham, for the year ending June Oth, 1897, show that free goods valued at $146,123, and dutiable valued at $92,- .570, were entered for consumption,and that the duty collected was $25,459.01. .!<; The value of goods exported during the same period was $600,903, of which ,6I7 was to the British Isles, and - t e balance $138,256 to the United States and other countries, the greater Vortion going to our neighbor over the line, The exports to (Great Britain Were products of the forest $5500, ani- nials and their products, $203,0(X), ngri- cltltural products, $2111,(XX), and mann- ., ;,',factures, $50,147. The exports to the iiitptlterland were shipped partly via the St Lawrence, and partly by the Ste test and were almost equally divId- } ed; between the two routes. The ro- t1i n8 show that the business, transact- ed at Goderich and its outposts, the PASO twelire months is considerably in �9xcess of that of the pneyious year. NEW HOUSE.—H. R. Chant has pur- chased from J. H. Combe, a quarter - acre lot on Rattenbury street immed- iately east of Mr Com be's residence. He intends to erect a two-story frame house, to be gothic in style and modern in all its appointments, and expects that when it is completed he will have a handsome residence. S. S. Cooper bas secured the contract and proceeds with its erection at once. LICENSE VIOLATIONS.—This week Inspector Paisley laid information against A. McAllister, of Belfast, for selling liquor without a license; the case was tried at Dungannon, before magistrates Ward and Robert, who found him guilty, and imposed a fine of $50 and costs er 3 months in jail; not being able to pay the fine he went to jail. H. Tichborne, Goderich, was al- so charged with selling liquor without a license; Police Magistrate Seager tried the case, and imposed a fine of $50 and costs. A RAILROAD DISASTER RECALLED.— Mr Joshua Inwood, of Clinton, is on a visit to this city. In 1857 he was in the employ of the Great Western Railway Company in Hamilton, where the Des- jardins Canal disaster took place, and e was one of them who helped to take nut the dead bodies from the wreck. Having heard that Capt. McBride was on that train, he called on the captain. who was much pleased to see him and to talk over the awful accident that took place 40 years ago.—St. Thomas Journal. [E. Holmes, late proprietor of the new ERA, was also one of the first men at the scene of this disaster; he was at the time night foreman of the Hamilton Times, when the inform- ation was brought that city, and the staff went out to r ender assistance.] NOTES.—Miss Tena Cooper (book- store)has purchased aCleveland bicycle.

Cooper has the contract for a two-story addi- tion to the Ontario St. parsonage.

Stab y Two teams of bowlers were this week in London taking part in. the Western tournament; they are Messrs. Tisdall, Jackson, Forrester, McTaggart, J. Rat- tenbury, W. Taylor, A. Taylor and Ransford. Our local cotem evidently thinks it the personal duty of a Mayor to enforce the by-laws of a town, look after transient licenses, etc; the man who undertakes it will more than have his hands full, and the Mayor has noth- ing to do with licensing the medicine fakir. The suit of Stanley vs. Grum- 'nett, a case of ejectment, which has been up two or three times for trial, has been at last decided in favor of the plaintiff.

Miss Minnie Ker, daughter of Harry Ker, took the high- est number of marks in the East Hur- on Inspectorate, 619, at the recent En- trance examinations; this is pretty good for a 13 -year old girl. Hiram Hill is building the new tante on Ontario street; his contract price was $63. Mr. G. D. McTaggart has been re-elected second Vice -President of the Western Ontario Bowling Association. Mr. Laurence, who recAe'rtly hurt his band in a machine at the Organ Factory, got struck in the face by a piece of hoard this week, which has slightly disfigur- ed him. The unfavorable weather of ..T.uesday..eveniirg-compen ed. the -Salvos- tion Salva=tion Army to take its proposed lawn social indoors, and it was consequently held in the barracks, inatead of on Mr, Brown's lawn; by -the -way, the Army has got together a pretty good band now, and considering the amount of practise had, they give good music: The remains of the late Chas. W. Hig- gins, who died at Rat Portage, were delayed, owing to the illness of one of the brothers who wag to accompany them down; they arrived at Wingnam via C. P.

He is in a critical condit- ion, and if he is able to travel will come down to London hosnital for treatment. DASTARDLY BUBINESB.--Apparently the only thing that will stop some of the rascally work done by parties who ought to know better, is a good strep fine, or aterm in jail. The other night someone went along the front street and with a knife slashed the awnings and awning ropes of several business men. Considerable injury was done as it was, but it might have been much' more serious if they bad succeeded in cutting the ropes. There is no sport in such deviltry, and if the guilty part- ies can be discovered they will learn a lesson that may do them good. The NEW ERA had a call this week from Miss M. Irvine, of Shanghai,China who with her sister, bas been visiting her home near Belgrave. Miss Irvine has been engaged In mission work in China for several years, and this is her first visit home; she has a sister located in China, some 500 miles from herself, alep engaged in missions. She speaks enthusiastically of her work, gays the Chinese are eagerly accepting the truth and also states that aEur•onean is com- paratively safe and has access to almost any part of China. When first she went out she suffered somewhat from the climate, but she enjoys life there now, and would not think of returning to Ontario to reside. She says that if the Europeans who are engage in business in China, would only practise religious principles, it world have a wonderful effect in helping forward Christian ef- fort. She returns to China at once, go- ing via New York. WEDDED,—The Ontario St. Method- ist Church was the scene of a pretty weddiug on Wednesday afternoon last. witnessed by a large number of the fair sex. The principals were Miss Annie Alexander, daughter of W. Alexander, and John Green; the bridesmaid was Miss Lulu Stanley, and the groomsman Will Green, while Miss Jessie Green was Maid of Honor. Rev. B. Clement performed the ceremony, after which the wedding party drove to Mr Alex- ander's, where dinner was served, the happy couple leaving on the evening train on their wedding tour. The home of Taos. Lavan was also the scene of a happy wedding the same afternoon, when his second daughter, Miss Mabel, was wedded to E. Laird Williamson, of Toronto. The cere- mony was performed by Rev. A. Stew- art. Miss Whitworth, St. Marys, per- formed the duties of bridesmaid, while Fred Lavan acted as groomsman. The party enjoyed at fine wedding dinner, and will spend sgme time visiting their friends, before settling down to life's realities, It is scarcely necessary for ua to say that both these ladies are fa- vorites in town, and have a wide circle of friends whose best wishes accom- pany them in lite's journey, CnuRca NOTES.—Quarterly services will be held in both Methodist churches in town next Sabbath....

Town council A special meeting of the Town Coun- cil was held on �ednesday evening. Mr Swallow repot ted that the Fire and Water Committee had made the Ron- ald Engine Co., of Brussels, an offer for a heater for the engine, 2 babcock fire extinguishers and a couple of ex- tension ladders, but did not know yet whether the offer would be accepted. The action of the committee in receiv- yrg a tender for the tank, and award- ing the contract to this tenderer after the specified time for receiving the same, was severely criticised; the com- mittee justified its action on the ground that the figures of the other tenderers had not been divulged and that a mis- take had teen made by this party as to the time Iiinit —Mr -MI positon of night watchman applications were received from Messrs Jas. Young, W. Castling, J. Morrish, T. Judd, A. McRae, G. Gordon, G. Murray, E. Herman and Jas. Marshall at $2011 a year, and also W. 3. Carter and W. D. McBrien in case the salary was to be $250a year. The committee considered these applications and re- commended that that of Arthur McRae be accepted. It was moved that the re- port he amended by substituting the name of George_ Gordon. This was lost and the report adopted. The Stavely Committee reported in favor of erecting the Memorial Hall at the rear of the market ground on Rattenbury St. This was vigorously opposed. Several members thought it should not be erected on the Square at all; others that it should be on the front of the lot. Several possible sites were suggested, but the opinion of the com- mittee was that.they were not justified in spending a very large amount for the purchase of a lot, as it would necessar- ily limit the amount that could be used for the erection and equipment of a suitable building. It was moved by Mr Searle and seconded by Mr Cooper, that the report be left over; this was defeated. It was finally moved by Ooun. Gilroy, seconded by Coun. Wal- ker. that the report be adopted,amend- ed only by making the building face on Alpert St., instead ;of Rattenbury. This was carried by the followinvote: — Nay — Kennedy, Cooper, Searle, Plummer, Hoover -5; yea — Walker, Ford, Swallow, Gilroy, Taylor-5—the Mlsyor giving the casting vote in fav- or of the report.

In all stocks these odds and ends will accumulate, it is so in ours; we want to exchange them for what dollars there are in them. In the ordi- nary way they would go, but perhaps slowly; to move them out quickly we have placed some of them in our window, price ticket displayed on each; in some cases the amount is just half the original price. The clear- ing out of this stock is an exposition of what we call separating the practical from the ethereal. We can use the dollars to good advantage, you can likely likewise use the goods. The process of separation should not be difficult if you will view the goods and find them such as are useful to you. The W. D. FAIR Co Clinton.
