Red Rose 2nd, to Mr. Neil McDonald, of
Morris, for the sum of $200.
PROPERTY CHANGES. -Mr. J. Copeland'
has bought a small house at the end of
Mill street, for the sum of $215. Mr.
Horace Foster has bought the brick house
on Maple street, of M. H. Hunt, (used as
a parsonage) for the sum of $1,300, which
is a cheap property.
PURCHASED A PIT.—The Mayor, on
behalf of the town council, has purchased
a gravel pit, consisting of one acre of land
on Mr. John Lapier's farm, Hullett, fqr
the sum of $150. One man, of whom. the:
committee.. made inquiries, wanted.6 cents
a cubic, yard, which would put the price
at a pretty high figure: Hereafter, gravel
required for the streets and for other pur-
poses will only cost the town a nominal
sum.

LIFE-SIZE PORTRAITS.—The life-size
portraits exhibited by Messrs. Fetter &
Bayley, on Saturday, and since, were the
subject of very favorable. comment by the
large numbers who examined them at
their opening. This firm have certainly
made wonderful progress- in the ,photo-.
graphic art, and are justly entitled to the
reputation they have ,gained, of turning
out the best work in this line outside of
Toronto.

NEW HEALTH Act. — We would call
the attention of our readers to the fact:
that a new health act has lately been Pass-
ed, regulating all kinds of nuisances con-
sidered detrimental to the. health. All
should clean up at once, as the penalties
for violation of the act are heavy, and-
only short time allowed. No hog pens
are allowed within 70 feet of any dwell-
ing, and there are other clauses of similar
.import. The Health Board 'will "be -the
:
Mayor, Clerk, and three ratepayers, and,
they appoint their own inspector, if they.
see fit. p
OUR BUSINESS MEN.—The spring stocks
of our merchant§ are now complete, and
a nicer and more attractive display than
is to be seen in our various stores cannot
be found in Canada. Indeed, it is a sur-
prise to many where such immense stocks
are disposed 'of, but customers- come from
far and near to Clinton, where they have
a larger selection to choose from, •and.
closer prices than can be had in any other
town in this -part of .Ontario. Judicious`
advertising it a widely circulated paper,
like the NR ERA has extendedtheir.
reputation f and wide.
BIT=G NOTES.—Mr. S. J. Andrews
has mateia1 ready for the erection -of a-
new house next to his own, on Queen
.street. 4.s soon as the weather is favor-
able Mr.;SearIe will start' the building of
his stores on Albert street, . The excava-.
tions for -the foundation of the new Pres-.,
by terian church have been going on . for'
several days. Mr.'Muir expects to start
his new house on Albert street in ,a few
days. Mr. Bowers has the material•nearly
ready for his new house on . Huron street.
Mr.. P. Straith has improved the appear-
ance of his house by erecting a very pretty
verandah, the work. on which was done by
Mr. John Scott, and is a credit to his skill
Mr. H. Stevens has moved the building
that will form his planing factory, and
will soon be in a position to contribute Ms-
quota
s•quota to the building boom.
TEsroaaANCE MATTERS.—On . Tuesday
a meeting was held in the Temperance.
Hall here,. for the purpose of foxniinga
County Temperance Association. Among
the representatives present were Messrs.
D. Cuming, Leeburn; F. Metcalf, Blyth;
Rev. A. E. Smith, Manchester; R. Adams
and A. Woodman, Londesboro ; A. Hale,
Clinton. The following • motions. were
carried :—Resolved that it is desirable to
form a district county lodge, to embrace
all lodges now in existence in the county;..
with any other lodges that may be organ-
ized in the county, who May wish to ,loin
with us. It was deckled that representa-
tion to the county lodge0would be one to
to every ten members. After some other
minor matters were attended to, it was
decided that the next meeting be held on
the 2nd Monday of May, at 10.30 a.m. in
the Temperance Hall, Clinton, A meet-
ing was held in the Baptist church, in
the afternoon, to consider the advisability
of submitting the Scott Act in this coup-
ty. Mr. Searle occupied the chait, and a
number of those present gave their views
on the matter.' All Were of the opinion•
that it would be desirable to submit the
Act, but there being so many other meet-
ings just at present engaging the attention
of temperance workers, it was deemed best
to appoint a committee to eonter with
adjacent conntieS and learn what ,eev in -
termed doing, and then call a convention
to be held in Clinton to make final ar-
rangements for submitting the Act
STREET $cu,tars.—The 'dust was flying
last week -now there are several inches
of mud, the restilt of two day's rain and
snow, Some aort of a crossing should be
laid. on. Huron street, between Craib's
ecrner and the temperance hall , -
one mid,-
way between these points would be very
convenient. A number of loose planks
are to be found in various places,and
should anyoneinure t
hems
elves thereby, .
,
the cohell would betompsilod to foot
the bill. Clinton discarded verandahs,
on the main street, several years ago, and
now other places are .talking of doing
likewise—Clinton is always ahead,
Dryxsiorr Cot:Mrs.—The printers have
just sent out the annual report of the
Inspector of Division Courts for Ontario,
for the year 1882, in which he comments
upon a number of illegal exactions Made
by different elerke, which we suppose he
intends as a warning to them in future
as be does not mention any. names, and
also a hint to. 'suitors, so that they may
.not -he --imposed upon. He has added.,
as he says, a very, necessary statement,
showing the limits of each Division in the
province, but, unfortunately, he ' has
omitted Huroa in this particular instance.
These'tems extracted from it will be of
interest to our readers :—Divisions in
Huron, 11 ; No, of suits entered, 1,518 ;
amount•of claims, $55,312; No. of judg-
ments received from other courts, 130;
amount of claims of such, $7,297 ; No. of

exceeding $40, 5 ; No of actions of re-
plevin, amount exceeding $40, .4; jury
trials, 2; amount paid to jurors summoned,
$33; paid to Treasurer for "Division
Courts jury Fund," $51. -

E'LA1N AND TO TUE lt'Q1,NT/
People have become so accustomed to
hearing all sorts of unlikely yarns from
tramps asking assistance, that when au
oecasiona lone does tell the truth, it be-
comes a fact worthy to be put on record.
Not long .since a trampdropped into,,,
Coats & Sou's store, and ambled down to
where the junior of the firm is found.

tramp.

ONE 1VAY OF INEIXTENCING OPINION.
For some time past Reformers in different

On Tuesday the TpTing show of entire

being cousidered the most convenient

seeing the large crowd assembled, formed
a,yery different conclusion than the right
one, as to the .cause of the crowd.
'Why the Salvation Army has come to

out in blooming spring attire, its ener-
getic proprietors baying put in a Bullock
Nmess, and put on a complete: new dress.
ext to the NEW ERA the Advertiser is
the best paper • outside the Globe and

ability can accomplish, when it is men-
tinned that the original promoters of the
Advertiser were 'prentiee boys on the
Free Press. The Advertiser has done,
much to aid tlie.Reform cause in. Western
Ontario, and with its iiicreased facilities,
will no doubt prof a of greater strength to
this party. We hope that its greatest
expectations may be realized,
