;SIIr L AHnpn.-Mr,'Geo, Burnett. of (*oda,
rich township, is evidently determined to take
the lead with wheat in one reenact, if he does
not in another. He has a field of fall wheat
that is • rapidly heading out, and it gives pro..
ranee of being gooda yield. We shall wait to
hear from our riend Phipps again, now.
Aeon:iaNT,—On Saturday last Mr, R.Walk-
or.get the first two fingers of his right' hand
unpleasantly squeezed; He was assisting to
lower the barn, :of Mr. T. Shipley toa_stone
foundation built beneath, and pinched his
fingers between a stone and stick of timber,
taking a piece right out of one finger, and
badly smashing the other.
ELYOTED PEEsID$Nr.. Dr.Worthington, of
thie place, was chosen Presidentof the On.
tai'io Medical Association, at its recent meet-
ing • in Hamilton, ' This is an honor 'of no
smell degree, and shows that the doctor.atande

THINKS OF COMING RACK 14r.G%).Beesley,
who went out to Nelson, Man., this spring,
where he has property; and expected to work
at his trade as a atone mason; writes home
that -he will probably_ return to Ontario as
• there is no work whatever in his line. To
use his own expression "the bottom has fall*,
en out," which, we presume,.means that they
are reaping the natural consequences -of the•
"boom" fraud.•
Down- WITH HOARD FENCES,—A very neat
iron -fence adornrl .tlreleent of-Mic7T.—Jack=
son's propertyon High St. We are' pleased
to see that there is a tendency to do away
with high board fences in zhany places and'
nowhere is the advantage more apparent than
where parties have beautiful front . gardens or
lawns. In several. parts of the town, wire
fences have replaced the•board, and peraene
who have an eye to the beautiful can gaze On
nature's glories without breaking their neck
by looking over a six-footclose 'board fence..
FIRST AND BEST CHEAP RAILROAD TRIP OF
This inAso r. --An excursion hae ' been' ar

27th'inst., on which date the inspection and
particle -of the troops (inoluding the 32nd
Bruce, and 33rd Huron, battalions), who will.

CANADA ALWAYS AHEAD:—Mr. John Cruick•
shank (son of Mr. Chas. Cruickshank) .who• is
now residing at Lexington,. Ly.,. writes to. a
friend here a few facts which may be of gene-
ral interest. While he likes that. city very.
well he does not,. think it can compare . with
/any Canadian city in point of morals, and in
church matters he regards at as much behind
Canada, as political feeling divides churches
of one denomination into'two distinct bodies,.
and ' there is nothing like spiritual life.
manifested among the ivasses'there that there
is here. He says he 'wound sooner have one
Canadian girl than; a dozen Southerners, and:
we presume that when he said this he was
thinking of "the girl he left behind him."
RATHER A TICKLISH POSITION. one. day
last week Mr. Geo. Doherty, of this:place,
'was placed in a rather unpleasant position for
a short time. He drove over into Colborne
to deliver an organ, and found, On reaching
the top of a hill an awful precipice yawning
before him, which by courtesy was, called the
road. To drive dawn asbe was meant that
organ and 'waggon Would :tumble Over 'the
horse;, turn round and go back es he came lie
could not, as .there was not room enough,
and steep banks were on, both sides of the
narrow roadway. So he summoned several
farmers from near by, who tied up the wheels
so that they would not revolve and hung en
behind the waggon till it had gone down the
hill in safety. George cautioned the men not
to say anything about the affair, lest it should
get into the NEW ERA, and they *whoa ad,
oordingly. . ..
DID NOT GET IT, -A circumstance arising•
out of the dismissal•of Hon. A..'M. R,oss.bythe
county council last December and the: subs&
anent appointment of Dr: Holimes to the Trea-
surership transpired' at the meeting of county
council last • week. Dr. Holmes, it will be
'nt d in December,
remembered, was appointed I-' a
hough he' did not enter upon'his duties until
ly in February, • to . which time Mr. Russ
s paid for his services. Dr Relines asked
y from the 1st of January, and ,a lively de.'
., bate ensued in connection 'therewith on Se-'
turday morning. When a vote was taken. as
to whether the amount should • ie paid or not,
it resulted in a tie, and the Warden We the
casting vote against it. There was only a
bare quorum when the matter came up for
settlement; an amendment was afterwards
passed allowing him . a portion of the time
claimed. .
.PERSONALS,—Mr, James Stavely.left on, hie

morning;. he made ample preparations for the
journey, by taking a capacious gr'ip•sack,
filled with the latest (2) novelties in clothing.'

this week. Mr.. Cooper, of Marahall, Mich.,

tery, and was surprised to find the euormona
deposit of 'gravel whioh is there to be seen.
For years past building .nand has been taken
out at the entrance to the pit, so that -thous-
ands upon thousands of loads must have been
removed, ranking= excavation of considerable
extent and depth. Under the direction of Mr.
Paisley a good roadway has been made into
the •heart of the gravel. If a line was drop-
ped from the north bank to the road below,
it would show it to be about forty feet deep.
For the first ten or fifteen feet beneath the
nod, the soil is sand, of the very finest quality,
and beneath this is a bed 'of coarse gravel,
how deep no one knows, but the men engag.
ed in getting it out for the streets have eic-
posed a solid wall all of twenty.five feet deep,
and it may go down flinch deeper.. Although
it is designated gravel, itis composed of much
mare stone than sand or small stones, some
of them weighing 50 pounds, and ,great niany
of them require breaking to fit them for road
making, almost giving, the road the .appear,
anoe of being inaoadamrzed. There is enough
sand and gravel in. the pit to meet all require*

BRIEFs.—Mr.Fank Paltridge, of Galt, (well.
. known here,) has disposed of all his business

is doubtless caused by the late lamentable,,:
