He is a steady young man, and pro- mises ,to be an efficient employee. His place here will be supplied by a Mr Hyde. . MOST of our merchants get their bill heads, envelopes, letter note paper neatly printed, and we must say it looks like business ; but we notice there are some who apparently use any scrap of paper they can lay their hands on to make out an account or to do their corresponding on, and it looks like a one horse affair. Call at the NEW ERA office and see our sam- ples and get our prices. ARRESTED.—On Wednesday, Mr W. C. Morrison, some time since a machine agent, was arrested here by a constable from Berlin, on a charge of obtaining goods under false pre- tences. He was taken to Berlin.

CHARITY.—It will be seen from a card elsewhere that the Charity Com- mittee has adopted the plan of meet- ing every Monday morning, for a time, to consider applications for re- lief. This question of the distribution of charity is the most perplexing one which our council has to deal with, and causes any amount- of trouble. To determine who are deserving of help is sometimes difficult, and we dare eayjlthere are people to whom a little assistance would be of great benefit, but who hesitate about wak- ing their wants known. Persons really in need will find that their ap- plications receiye careful considera- tion, and the committee will do the very best the finances of the town will allow. Local Church Chimes. Service in the Baptist Church, on Sunday; at 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. Mr Kay has taken the leadership of Ontario St. church choir. Mr Oakes' term of engagement having expired.

THE court of appeal of the Metho- dist Church met at the Metropolitan church, Toronto, on Friday. Among the appeals beard was the case of Ru- pert vs Guelph Conference, being an appeal by Rev. E. S. Rupert, of Clin- ton, against the decision of the said Conference in the case of Rev. J. H. Carson. The court unanimously held the action of the Conference to be a violation of discipline, and according- ly allowed the appeal, and amended the decision of the Conference. Some who were disposed to think that Mr Rupert had no occasion for his action in the premises, now admit that he was right, and it is a little satisfaction to know that the church discipline wason his side. Since the case has been made public, he has received a. number -of communications from fel- low -ministers, thanking hint for his stand on the matter. SABBATH SCHOOL CONVENTION•— The second quarterly meeting of the Stanley and Tuckersmith Sabbath School Association will be held in St. Andrews church, Kippen, on Wed- nesday, the 25th inst.

This convention commences at 10 a. in., and there will be three sessions, the last one closing at 8,45 in the evening.—A very in- teresting programme has been pre- pared for each of these conventions and no doubt all who attend will be greatly edified. Extending its Scope of Ope- rations. At the annual meeting of the Hul- lett Agricultural. Society, last Thurs- day, the following resolution was passed :— That this annual meeting recom- mend to the newly elected Board of Directors to take into early considera- tion such steps as will lead, 1st, to the extension of the boundaries of the present Society, so as to include the surrounding townships, or parts there- of, with the town of Clinton ; 2nd, to change the name to one to be approv- ed of by the members at a meeting to be hereafter called ; 3rd, to ask for grants from the township and town councils, towards tho expenses of the annual exhibitions ; and 4tb, general- ly such changes as will make the So- ciety and its exhibitions more extend - ed gad, ueefais This reseltltion neaps, a gond deal,, and if carnet' Qat in its entirety, will completely: revolutionize the Society, and add very ruaterially tAits useful* Pees- The. ,afhcers and directors ere. determined this year to leave no tope unturned that"will in.any: way contri- bute the the more euccessful;operatior s of the Society, As Seen as the new order f things n is properly adjusted, r ;geP p y and in working shape, arrangements will be made for the holding of the fall show, en a scale and be a manner far surpassing any previous exhibi- tion.

The Tobo 'g 1 1 � Last Friday the bort wage all sing. ing net for MY snuffler end ae.jl gkhr cap, Rol for my fair girl'asido Ho! for a ,tart a slip, solst 9f 1 , no l ter the toboggan ttlLOA, . And Friday evetsit; fount Via, large crowd of young and Rid, of both sexes, congregated at the toboggan elide, on High street, for their first experience t isez 1 h r tin inb... hla snort, p 120 Theelide g a de was le fast -class order, the surface being nearly as smooth as glass, and a toboggan leaded with two or more happy hearts—which hope to beat as one—did not require much pereuaeion to induce it to go down " like greased lightning," and the down trip is taken so, quickly that one experiences a feeling of regret when it is over, but that is nothing to the feeling he ex- periences while it lasts. The ladies take to a toboggan like a duck to wa- ter—naturally, as i t were—perhaps, e rh Po aPa, because it affords an excellentupportu- nity to "hold tight, there," and they evince no fear whatever. Vbry few of our "readers ever were on a tobog- gan, and for their benefit we will just describe the sensations experienced. The average man, when he first looks calmly down a "slide" feels hie heart rise up in his throat, and before he bas gone half way down has a hard lump there that is nearly choking him. He momentarily fears that he is going to shoot over the side, and he mentally vows that if he comes through the ordeal alive, he will nev- er risk it again. But he does, all the same. There were some amusing ex- periences last Friday night. A portly business roan evoluted through the air after his toboggan had slid from under him, and after several well exe- cuted but entirely unpremeditated somereaults, he fell across the wire fence. Another chap slid nearly all the way down on his—ahem—belly. This act was also entirely unpremedi- tated, and was performed with won- derful grace. When some of the to- boggans would strike each other, several adjectives not found in the Bible might bo heard. Oh, there's heaps of fun at the slide. Half the toboggans had to be sent for repairs next day, the druggists ran out of ar- nica and court plaster, and the dam- age to unmentionables was not a little. At a meeting of the Toboggan Club on Wednesday, it was decided not to allow any person on the slide with- out a badge on, also that the slide will be open from 3 to 6 in the after noon, for children, as they will not be allowed on the slide at night time. "THEM AIR'S OUR SENTIMENTS TOO." Down the toboggan slide, We started, side by side, But luck was null, Or I was dull , May woe the day betide: I fancied that I heard Tho chirping of a bird ; My head I turned, And never learned, What caused my hope deferred. ilp toward the firmament, My old toboggan went, And in the snow, A mile or so, My head made an indent. The snow was cold that day; My clothes were jerked astray; Her laugh of glee Rang after me— Girls always ant that way. Tobogganing since then I've left to other men ; I'll lose my. breath, l`;y natural death, Ere I will slide again, ake Money 13UY YCD1LT of day - GOODS Dickson's Bonistore Where you can get an immense assortment of first-class goods at the very lowest prices.
