valuable aid at the flower show.

has sold his house on Rattenbury street
to Mr. John Worsell, for the sum of $500
cash. Mr. Cuninghante is about to let the
contract for the: erection d a new house

lesuus ecn (o aiPANY. — The regular
meeting of the McKillop Insurance Co.
was held at Seaforth; on/Friday last. Tho
•hecretary intimated that StISIcKerral,
formerly of Hullett, had entered suit
against the company, for recovery of the
full amount for which his mill was insur-
ed. Mr. Armstrong, of Hullett, whose
house was destroyed some time ago, was
allowed the full amount.of insurance, $300.
THE CATTLE TRADE.—But few people
have any idea of the large number of cat-
tle which are shipped from this town al-
most every week for the eastern and Brit-
ish markets. One wonders where they
all come from, but a good many of our
farmers are now turning their attention
to stoyct;'raising, riot ::]together to the e
elusion of grain, hut to a much greater
extent than even oil late years. Messrs.
Craig & Hearn and the McLean Brothers
are the principal buyers in this section,
and the money they put in ,circulation
must be something enormous.
HORSE NOTES. --Mr. W. W. Ferran late
ly purchased the pacipg horse George Ey,
at Woodstock, paying a large figure there-
for. The ,horse has the appearance of
good breeding, and, is doubtless able to
make a good record. Mr. H. B. Proud=
feet has also purchased a fine traveller of
Mr. Burns;. of the 16th con. of Goderich
township. Messrs. J. & N. Norton, of
Westminster, have disposed of their
"Duke of War," a 7 -year-old general pur-
pose stallion, to Mr. James Fisher., of
Goderich, for $600.
HORSES GOING WEST. — To -day (Fri-
day,) agar load of splendid horses leaves
here foiM3hieago, where they go mainly
for exhibition purposes, but of course for
sale also, if prices offered are satisfactory.
Messrs. Innes & McLaughlin, of Stanley,
take several stallions and mares, Mr.John
every, of Stanley, ships' several, and
Messrs. T. J. & Jos. Bell, of Londesboro,
takes three stallions and two mares. We
hope that this trip may result successfully
to the persons interested in it.
Rune% TnotsSoEs.•.—Oa, Saturday, as
Mr, S. Barr, of the 16th eon. Goderich
township, was driving home. he caught u
witia a young man named Leslie, and,
getting out of the rig, 'boxed bis ears for
insulting language that Leslie had used
toward Barr's sister. For this assault
Leslie had Barr summoned before Mayor
Forrester, who imposed a fine of $1 and
costs. Leslie was known to have a reltol-
ver in kispossession, and, it is said, even
threatened p to shoot Barr, who offered, if
the other would pay the expenses already
incurred, not to lay a complaint against
Leslie for carrying a revolver, This was
not, accepted, and the .complaint was ac.
cordite ly laid. Leslie being arrested by.
Constable Paisley, and spending the night
in the lock-up, On Wednesday he was
nMayor for trial,
up before the
who imposed afine of $50 and costs, the
lowest fine the law .allows. Leslie paid
$10 of the fine, and was given eight days
in which to paythe. balance; .but he
,lumped the town"by the first train.

catch the fall trade, and no better medi-
um can be found than the NEW ERA. Mrs.'
J. Shannon, and daughter,. of ,Brussels,

apply as well to, Clinton as elswfaere :—
Is there not some law for the governing.
of men who have no respect for themselves.

themost profane and outrageous language

Wednesday, in the person of Miss Mac-

formed by Rev Mr. Sutherland, Miss Suth-
erland, of Fingal, and Miss H. Coats; of

e•ouple at once left for Montreal on their
wedding tour, and expect to be absent
several weeks. The Nnw ERA extends
its heartiest congratulations, and trusts
that their voyage ever the sea of matri-
mony may be of the happiest nature.
ALLEGED OUTRAGE.—On Monday a
young woman named Selina Woodman,
+TfHullett, laid information before Mr. A.
S. Fisher, charging her father, William
Woodman, with attempted • rape on the
morning of the 29th ult. He was arrested.
by Constable Paisley, and brought before
the Mayor and Mr. Fisher, J. P., for ex-
amination. Mises Woodman, who is about
24 years of age, alleges that her father
entered her bedroom at abouttwoo'clock,
it1-his night-clothes, when sho was awak=
tined by him, and he then made improper
advances, which she resisted. He denied
the charge, and said that he went into the
room under the impression that some one.
else was there, and took no liberties what-
ever with her. He admits waiting in the
room until the lamp was lit, and then re-
tiring. Both swear that he came back to
her door a second time and knocked;,
Mrs. Woodman,.the wife and mother.,
swore to certain confessions made by
Woodman, in which he expressed his sor
row for what he had done. The magis-
trates committed the acrheed to stand his
trial. As is usual in suck cases, there
has been a great deal of talk about both
parties. The rather insinuated ort: his
trial that the- daughter had been guilty of
improper practises, but of course there is
no evidence of this as yet, and tho girl
ehould not be condemned until the, fact
has been proved. Unfortunately the, fa-
ther is often intoxicated, and when so is
very harsh in his manner. Ho himself
helped to bring his house into disrepute,
by frequently bringing there, sometime
ago, a gang of railroad navvies to drink
and play cards. However the matter
may be; it is most deplorable, and we
would fain h.,,.e that a reconciliation
might be made,tttlei.i better era commenced " we aro glad to knowhe msgetting better,
The regular meeting of the. W. C.T.U.
will be held in the Baptist church, nest
Tuesday evening, at which recitations
will be given.
CateisnT. .&u exciting cricket match
was played here Thursday for the, junior
championshipof western Ontario, be-
tween the Wanderers of this place (who
are the champions), and the Juniors of
Stratford. • It resulted in favor of the
home 'team by eight runs. The total
score was as follows,: Clinton,, 7„�tr Strat-
ford, '64. The Stratford boys played
very pluckily, ,but the Clintonians were
too much for them, and they were :forced
to return without taking the champion-
ship cup home with them, The Clinton
•club is prepared to play any junior club
in western Ontario, and are doing some
good work this season.
OPENING OP BRIDGE. -- On Saturday
last the new iron bridge at Manchester
was tested and opened for public trafin.
There were present Messrs. A. Gibson,
Warden, and Councillors Girvin, Ir€trcfy.,
Young, G. Elliott, McDonald, and Dur-
nin, representatives'. of the contractors,
and a large gathering of other people,
Several loads of stones were drawn ever.i
the bridge side by side, and its strength
tried in other ways, but the deflection was
eho
ec T
so smallit was. scarce] pr eptibl.
county authorities accept it from the con-
tractors, and expressed themselves as well
srtisfied with • its construction. The de:
signof the bridge is neat, and the work
upon it is apparently well done, and, from
all. appeamoe, it looks as if this genera-
tion will not have to renew 1t.
HOLME$YILAE Itatoi E.—It 1s expect,
ed that the Holmesville bridge will be
open for traffic in a couple of weeks'
time. Could not somethingbe done to
have a formal opening of the bridge.
Clinton, of course, will derive consider.
able benefit from the erection of this
structure,' and would, doubtless, take .an
active interest in any demonstration.
What say those who have the doing pf
these things ?
THE Listowell.Banner, referring. to the
High School of that place, thus speaks
of a former Ciintonia,n :— The Second
Master, Mr. John Connolly, is a first-
class in point of literary attainments, but
specially so in his rank as a teacher. His
success as a teacher of mathematics is
fully shown by the 'late examinations,
when the preparation o ' his pupils, who
took high grade certificates, was not ex-
celled by tbebest educational institutions
in the Province.
,PRESEl3TATIoi1''.--A gatheringoffriends
and members of the late Lord's arm
numbering about one hundred, met at the
house of Mr. Mandela,. on Tuesday even-
ing,. for the purpose of presenting
Capt. Hambly with a gift, and to enjoy a
farewell supper together, After the meet-
ing was opened with singing and pray er,
a very favorable address was read and a
box containin about $23, was presented
to Capt. Ham ly, to which he replied in
suitable terms. Refreshments had been
provided by members of the army, to.
which ample justice was done, and the
remainder of the evening was spent in
mutual, friendly and profitable intercourse.
The captain leaves in about a week to
commence his,5tudies for the ministry..,
