NASTY CuT.--LOn Wednesday, Mr: S.
Davis -was coming down stairs in the store-
house, when by some means he' slipped,
cutting a gash in his left arm, uncomfor-
a large artery. tably close to g y. He had his
coat on at the time, and cannot account
for the accident, as his coat sleeve .was
not hurt, while the sleeve of his shaft was
torn.

SCHOOL EXAMINATION—The l Tie examina
tions for entrance te the Clinton High.
School, . are being held in the Model;
School this week, and will conclude to:,
day. , About 80 are trying to pass. The
examinations for i itenniddiate, 3rd and
2nd non-professional Z'hrtificates will be
held in the High School.bere next Tues-
day. .A good number will try therefor,
and it is said that the examination -will
be conducted by Rev. . Stewart.
ON EXHIBITION.—In : connection with
the. Railway Exposition lately held at
Chicago, where all sorts of railway appii
antes, including the°original locomotive
that ran from Darlington to Stockton,
were shown, our old townsman, ''Mr. Jos,
Whitehead, was also on exhibition, he
having .been a fireman on the engine, and
now looked upon as the oldest railway fire-
man in existence. "Old Joe," as his fa-
miliar acquaintances call him,' has cer-
tainly seenmarvellous improvements
made in railway operations since his lim-
-ited connection with. the 'first locomotive,:
and it isnot improbable that ere he passes.
away, still further progress will be made.•
'_MAGISTRATE'S- CONVICTIONS: — The
Mayor, Chief of Policed audits inhabitants
have got the town into a very peaceable
and orderly condition, if the return of
magistrate's convictions is any criterion
by which to judge. • For the first. quarter
of the,present year there was not a ,soli-
tary conviction recorded by`: a Clinton
magistrate; and for the quarter' ending the
12th of June, only. three. Three 'cases
in six months is;'t pretty good record for
any town, and these three • are :very trivial'.,.
if the balance •of the year does not pan..
out" any better,the amount the town will
realize from fines will be small' indeed.
But this is'a species of-indir-ectloss which..
the publicnever complain about.
ACCIDENT.—Mr. John -Ransford,Secre=
Mary of the Canada Salt. Asiecia:tion, met -
with' quite an adventure on Wednesday
morning when coming. from his,: residence
at Stapleton to Seaforth, He was driving
down in a covered buggy and was 'accom-
panied by a lady. When opposite the
residence:of Mr. Whitley on- the Huron
road, adog frightened the horse, causing
itto jump sideways into the ditch. The,
buggy was upset and Mr. Ransford anal
his companion thrown out into the mull
and water. Further than'':a; `thorough
wetting they ere uninjured, and"the hug-
gy was only slightly broken, 'so that as
soon as they picked themselves ups and
put things to' rights.,,they pursued -their
• journey to town, ,—Expositor. -
'RUNAWAY. -On Monday morning \Ir.
Thos. Stanbury's horse ran away on Vic=
toria street; carrying with it one=shaft, ',.of
the waggon. At the ,Victoria block: it
ran ou the sidewalk,.which was wet and
it.slipped down almost throwing it,s feet
through the large,windows of Mr. Thos.
1•ackson. It thenran straight to the of-
Tice of Mr. Meteyidf,' putting •its foot
through a windon legainrug its feet it
cantered down Huron :.street till it .ran,-
full tilt, against a'telcgrtaph .pole, -which
stopped its further progress. Cuite 'a
crowd stood on the sidewalk and witnessed
its marcciiveres,. but although itw•aS not
going fast tit an . ttj,n,g,;it never -occurred
to'alnyone to catch it artlie >ric e—tr
'after it had passed, thea every one knew.
-...."they could have jerked it tap in no time.'
I
SCALDEn.—On Friday the infant child
of Mr. Ojreo.,' Herrington was' severely
scalded by pulling -a ,,tea pot over while
seated at the table. The little suffered is
doing as well aa 'could expected.
ExcuRsloN.—The excursion to Buf)hlo,
next Wednesday, is likely to be largely
patronized, as the fare, $1.75, from„ Clin-
ton, 1,s, very reasonable.' The railway
authorities, should always ,make,it a point
tolandexcursionists at their destination
as quickly has possible, for promptness . iai
this respect ensures the success of 'sttbse-.
(pent excursions.
FAiR's MILL.—The frame addition to
this building is, nearly finished. When
completed, which will -be in .a few days,.
the mill will be closed down to permit of
further improvements, and the fixing, up
of the new machinery. The brick part
of the mill will be raised another story,
and have a mansard. roof, and every par-
ticle of machinery except the chopper
will be replaced by the roller 'process of
grinding. Its s etpecte-d-that.:it will -take-
two months to make -these .improvemen_ts,
but when lone, •the mill be the most ef-
ficiently equipped in this section of the
got ntry ,
BICYCLES. --On Friday last five members -
of the Clinton club took a spin for prac-
tice.. They rode down to Brucefield,':two-
of 'them returning by the same road, and
the other three going by the mill road to
Seaf'orth„and' up the/Huron;road home.
Several tumbles were taken, but none re-
sulted seriously. While coming through
a piece of heavy- sand, Mr ,ll'isdall was.
thrown over, briiising his hands and
scratching his face, which was the-only
accident of any account,,
CHREH.—The general public have no
conception' of the attempted' impositions
to which newspapers are continually sub-
ject. Some .inall classes of the communi-
ty:entertain the idea that newspapers are
published for the fun, of the thing, and
that, making money ` has; no - connection
whatever with ]the business. The latest
specimen of cheek we haveencountered
is from -a lawyer in,this county, who kind-
ly asks us to do a little free advertising
for his individual benefit, but we have
closed -our "free advertising department;"
and wish hint and all whom it may con-
cern to remember that' the NEw „ERA, at
least, •is•run as a business speculation, and
all advertisements in it are:paid for.
Too Goon To LosE.=While thoseat-.
tendin the Presbyterian picnic wore at
dinner, on Wednesday, `a ady, who was
a stranger to, most' present, sat: opposite; the
mayor of this town, who held nearly a
whole leg of lamb in his haid,'.and.was
helping himself therefrom as: only •a lun-
gry man at a picnic knows hove, Turning
to a companion she inquired "Who is
that little man opposite us ?".,
"Why, that is Mr. Forrester, the mayor
of Clinton," replied her companion, " are'
you not acquainted with him ?"
" Oh i that's lir, Forrester, is it ? she
exclaimed with surprise, " and• does he.
always -eat that 'way?"
The roar of laughtower that followed- this
5 r
expression drowned the reply of her com-
panion. .
BRIDGES,=lir. J Mason, road con m-is-
sioner, has a number"of mend at work on•
the: London road`: bridge, south of :this
town, replacing someof the timbers atthe
far erid, which were out of .the old bridge
.and havedecayed. `He•and'Mr: L.• -Hardy
on 'Tuesday,, were taking the: dimensions
for the newbridge to replace 'Turner's;
which recently fell into the river,, and :it.
is expected that the contract -for. this
bridge will be let in •a few days. 'The I
same:.day they took.the dimensions for''a `.
new bridge to be erected on the gray N.
roil north of Sea;forth;rvheee it;is ropos
ed to-putup an iron' bridge,• with stone.
abutments. They intend to take measure-.,
meats for the -new Oolliozne!'bridge next-
week, and would have. done so sooner; but
for the• high water that has;pre•vailed."

Messrs. Junor & Frazer, Stanley, turned
the -scales here at 1250 lbs. on'Friday. Al
