Ile has wince recovered from the effects hereof. SUOULD BE Pt7ztisau .—A certain girl in town,of decidedly -questionable - morals, has been getting goods at several stores and charging them to other people without any authority for so doing. If what is said about her is true, the quicker she is run into Godericb jail for six months, the better for tis community. ANOTHER Tab/K.—Assistant Supt. Tiffin, of the G. T. R., and Engineer Clark were in town this week, and had a conference with several members of the town council concerning a tank to be built adjacent to the station. It was decided to build a tank, the Rail- way Company and town to bear the joint cost of construction; but the town to see that' it is kept filled. A HINT TO MINISTEItS.—No charge whateveris made for the insertion of marriage notices in the NEW ERA, and we will take it as a favor if min- isters anywhere in the county will furnish us with all such events to which they are a party. Send them on a post card if you like. LARGE Hoos.—On Monday Mr John Oakes, of the Maitland Con. Goderich township, delivered in town a load of dressed hogs, among which were four only thirteen menthe old, that turned the scales at 1580 1bs.An average of 395 lbs. each is good weight for hogs of this age, WATCH LosT.—On Friday last i1rs R. Itwin had the misfortune to lose a gold watch as she was coming up town, and has not yet succeeded in finding it. The probabilities are that it will remain in the snow until spring comes. As it was a gift from her father, she is naturally anxious for its ecovery. FARM SOLD.—Mr Edward Snell, of this place, has sold his farm of 100 acres in. East Wawanosb, to Mr John Redmond, of the same township, for the sum of $4.400. MrThomae Bielby, formerly of Hullatt, is a tenent in the place, but will give up possession as soon as he can secure another place. OFFICERS' SALARIES. — Mitchell town officers are paid the following salaries :—Engineer, free house,light, fuel, and $40; assessor, $60 ; clerk, $275; auditors each, $15 ; treasurer, $45 ; constable and bell-ringer, $340 ; collector, $70. Clinton usually has two assessors, who get $50 each ; the clerk, $200 ; auditors, $10each; treasurer, $100, and constable, bell- ringer, ete., $400. A FRAUD.—Last week we mention- ed that a well-dressed youth, with a broken arm, went around asking charity, but did not succeed, owing to his good clothes. We have since learned that in this we were mistaken, as he gathered up about $15,and what is worse, the whole thing affair was a fraud. At one place when he was soliciting help, his story did not hold gether and his arm was examined, to . nd that it was as sound as could be. • bout the only way people can avoid . ='ng defrauded, is to shut down entir- • on promiscuous charity. SCOTT ACT, s n information laid by Inspector Pai: eyrPolice Magis- trate Williams held court in the town hall, Goderich, on Th sday of last week, when John Martin, f the Col- borne hotel, and W. H. Crap of the Huron, eaeh pleaded guilty to': vio- lation of the Act, and were fined '..0 arid costs. It is currently reported, but we cannot vouch for its correct- ness, that two hotel keeperswho were recently fined $100 each, and given a short tiine in which to pay the fine, have left the county without doing so. The P. M. should hereafter make all fines payable forthwith. Ails Vvit $tev,ensoli is visit/n4 frietacie.at Seat'ertka., Mini Cavin, of Paris, is the guest of Miss Joie Fair. Miss McCrea, of Hamilton, Is the guest of Miss Reeve. Ma S.T. Holmes and wife are visit- ing friends at London.

Dinsley is not yet able to leave his house, though able to be around. A GooDTrnso.—"Billy" Wheatley has struck on a plan to make some money during the winter months, and at the same time perform work that is of public benefit.. He has arranged with a number of ratepayers to keep the walk in front of their premises clear of snow, at a fixed sum, and every tiine there is a storm he runs a two -horse snow plow' along the street, which effectually clears a good path wide enough for all who keep faith with the Scott Act. . ENTERTAINMENT.—C+inton Odd - fellows have arranged with those: musical prodigies, the Pigott Sisters, of Detroit, aged 9, 11 and 13 years respectively, for an entertainment to be given in the town hall, on the evening of the Oth of Feb, They are both vocal and instrumental musi- cians of a very high order, and being left orphans, have taken this method of supporting themselves. Our read- ers may expect an entertainment that will be well worth patronizing. PAINFUL ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday afternoon last a couple of Mr W. Doherty's daughters met with a pain- ful accident, They had just descended the toboggan slide, when the tobog- gan clewed to one side and carried them both through a wire fence, cut• ting the faces of both pretty severely. It was at first thought that the eye- sight of one was destroyed, but we are glad to learn that such is not the case. The daughter of Mr C. Ilelyar, who Was on'the toboggan also, had one of her teeth broken, being the most fortunate in her escape of the lot. SUDDEN DEATH OF A MINISTEIt.-- The people of Toronto were etartled on Friday,°to learn that Rev John Smith, Pastor of Erskine Church, in that city, had suddenly died of appo- plexy, while preparing his subsequent Sunday's sermon from the text,— "Though He (God) be not far from everyone of us." The deceased was well known throughout Huron, as an active Scott Act advocate, he having taken a leading part in the campaign prior to the adoption of the Act. At the last public Scott Act meeting held in the Town Hall, Clinton. a couple of months ago, he was the principal speaker of the evening. One of his sons is employed in the Bank ot Commerce, Seaforth. THE -CHARITY COMMITTEE—When the Charity' Committee met on Mon- day morning, there were two appli- cants before it for assistance. Both of these were aged women who hap- pen to be dependent on their sons•in- law,and these persons claim that they are unable to support their adopted parents, and the consequence is that the ratepayers have to step in and supply the deficiency, the committee making an allowance of $2 a month for the applicants We do not know what else can bo•done under the•cir- cumetances, but it certainly does not eseni right that women who have able'bodied sons•in-law, should have any just claim on the community for It • hat : oth; Ma W. Marten is still confined to the house, but is a little better than he has been. j John J. Biggins left home last week to pursue his studies at the Western Boys' College, London, MR W. Dennison, formerly of Clin- ton, has been appointed constable and bell-ringer at Mitchell. Easts' brickyard is supplying brick for a Methodist parsonage as far north as the Nile, in Ashfield. THE wife of Mr E. Corbett received word a few days since of the death of no less than three relatives. MR H. B. Proudfoot and 'family, after an absence of several weeks, iu Toronto, have returned to town. THE lowest point reached by the thermometer here this winter, was touched on Saturday night, when it got down to 20° below zero. MR Campbell and wife, of Manito- 4, and .Mrs Eedy, of Scotland, Brant Co., both the latter sisters ot Mr H. Foster; are hero on a visit. THERE is not a person in town but will regret to hear that the wife of Mr J. C. Gilroy lies at the point of death, with slight chance of recovery. Messes McMurchie and Manning, Reeve and Deputy, are this week looking after the interests of the county, at the county council meeting. THE wife of Mr Jos. Stevenson re- turned from Toronto last week, where she had been for three weelrs caring for her sister, a Mrs Weston, who has been ill. PROPERTY SALE.—Mr Jo'. Pickett has sold his property on the gravel road, north of town, to Mr John Hill, of Brussels, (father of Mr J. W. Hill, Clinton,) for the sum of$2100. The property consists of 12 acres of choice land, with house and outbuildings, and is in a splendid location to have the comforts of town. and yet be out- side the limits. Mr Hill has madea good bargain, and will move on the place in a short time. The sale was brought about through an advertise- ment in the Naw ERA. Mr Pickett intends to purchase a lot in town and brild thereon. TONY TRAMPS. --On Monday night a couple of tramps asked Mr Tedford for sleeping accommodation,and after he had shown them the lodgings for snch.parties in the town hall,they ob- jected to sleeping there and went away because there was -no fire in the room, although the building was heated by the furnace, and they had heavy blankets to cover them. If tramps expect to find a feather bed in a room heated by a coal stove, ready for their accommodation, we are glad to say they will be disap- pointed in Clinton. SUCCESSFUL OPERATION. — On Thursday, Jan. 12th, Dr. McNaugh- too, of this town, assisted by Drs. Gunn, of Clinton; Evans, of Seaforth, and Hutchinson,of Brussels, removed a large double abdominal tumor from a lady of this place. The tumor weighed over twenty pounds,and con- tained a large lump of hair, some bone, and several well -formed teeth. The lady at latest accounts' is rapidly recovering. Dr. McNaughton and his able assistants are to be congratu- lated in thus grasping from death bat must have proved an easy vie - ti but for the triumphs and Pluck of ,m ern surgery.—Brussels cor. to Seafort Expositor.

THE Model School Board held its first meeting on Monday last, when Mr Geo. E. Pay was re-elected chair- man for the ensuing year, after which the Board adjourned until next Mon- day evening.

He is located in Northern Dakotas and says the recent blizzard was confined to Southern Dakota entirely. while at St. Paul, on his way east, the thermometer registered 58° below zero,and Mr Baker says this was quite cold enough for all practical purposes. AT theaunual meeting of the Manu- facturer's Life Insurance Co.,, at Tor- onto last week, we notice that Mr J. P. Martin, accountant of the Com- pany, responded to the vote of thanks tendered the office employers for their efficiency. Mr Martin was for some time a resident of Clinton, and his friends here will be pleased to know that he holds this good and respon- sible position. DEATH OF MR JOHN SNELL,— Many of our readers, and particularly those in the neighborhood of I.ondes- boro who remember him, will regret to learn of the death of Mr John Snell,bailiffof the Wingham Division Court, which took' place on Tuesday morning last.

HORSE NOTES.—A few days sines Mr Ephraim Butt sold a three-year- old colt to Mr Jobart, for the sum of $235; nothing but a first class animal could command such a price.

Stevens, for the sum of $$100. THE WARDENSIIIP.—Our predic- tion that the choice of Warden for this year would. ret between Sir T M Kay, Reeve of Usborpe nd Mr Jas Hays, of ILlcltillolp, was parlihlly correct, Mr Kay being the choice of the council. He has been a member of the council for a number of years, and" is therefore entitled to the dis- tinction. In politics lin -is a Conner- l yative, but he is not one who allows partizan feelings to cairy him away, d the have no doubt but that he will urge the duties of his office na. =try of Iris predecessors.
