SPRING Woeic.—The gardenere,es-
pecially those below the Grand Trunk
station, are pushing forward spring
work, and these men may be seen
making extensive preparations for the
expected harvest. Mr H. Joyner, in
view of increased prosperity, is just
finishing a new barn.
• A BIG Jon. -0 wine to the accumu-
lation of rust, it was found necessary
a few days since to haul up the entire
tubing of the Stapleton Salt Well,and
clean the pipes their entire length, a
by no means easy job, but one which
was accomplished satisfactorily, and
they were replaced in the well as
bright and clean as labor could make
them.
HORSE ,NOTES.—Mr John Oakes,
the other day purchased a three-year
old filley from Mr John Wonn,paying
therefor the sum of $175. Mr Gilroy,
of Northern Illinois, who has hitherto
biought several car loads of horses
here, is purchasing mares here now.
Mr John Mooney, who has been over
in Michigan with a load of horses,
made a good sale, and is home again.

EARLY CLOSING.—We have been
asked by some of our business men to
agitate the early closing movement.
Business men now have the matter in
their own hands; if they do not avail
themselves of its privileges no one is
to blame but themselves.

To TEACHERS—In our item of last
week we omitted to mention that
candidates for first class grade C will
have the oppartunity, if they so wish,
of writing at Clinton. All to whom
it would be more convenient to write
in Clinton than at the other centres
mentioned in our item of last week,
are invited to write here.
RUNAWAY.—A horse belonging to
an implement agent got frightened by
a train at the Bayfield bridge, on
Monday, and ran away, throwing the
driver oat in a ditch. The shaft
coupling broke, and the horse dashed
up town with the shafts at its heels,
but was captured before any further
harm was done.
THE FALL WHEAT.—When spring
opened, the fall wheat had a fairly
good appearance, and gave promise
of an average crop, but the_continued
cold weather has, in appearance at
least, told seriously on it. The roots
may be good, and a warm rain might
make a big difference to it, but at
present it looks anything but en-
couraging.
LEAVING.—Mrs Kenney and the
remaining members of the family
leave in a few days for California,
where Mr Kenney has been for some
time. Arthur Kenney, who has been
employed for a couple of years in the
tailoring department of Jackson Bros.
store, was presented with a gold ring
by the young ladies employed there,
on Tuesday.
IN IMMIGRANT CIIILDRIN.--MT John
T. Middlemore, the founder of the
Orphan Children's Emigration Chari-
ty, London, Ont., left Liverpool on

IT is said that Mr Fred Smith will
shortly leave on a trip to Denver.
Miss K. McDonald, of Dunlop, is

The New ERA three months on

ronto, has been visiting his daughter
here, Mrs Stewart.

rived here and entered upon his duties

nevertheless a fact that one-third of
1888 has already passed away.
MR David Robertson is preparing
for the erection ot a new house on
the corner at present occupied by
him.
Mr. Robr. Elliott left on Wenes-
.
day last for Sault Ste. Marie, taking
with him a fine general purpose stal-
lion.
THE Organ Factory closed down
18 years. who are brought out to this for half a -day last week, owing to
country for adoption or hire, chiefly I something being wrong with the
among farmers. They are expected
to arrive at the Guthrie Home, near
the city, on or about the 9th of May.
This will be Mr Middlemore's fif-
teenth annual visit to these shores
with juvenile emigrants from Bir-
mingham, England, since 1872. Al-
ready many applications accompanied
with good references have been made
for the children expected to arrive,
but more are required. Further par-
ticulars may be obtained by address-
ing Mr H. Gibbens, manager of the
Guthrie, London, Ont.
BOARD OF HEALTIL—A meeting
of the Board of Health was held in
the Clerk's office, on Monday morn-
ing. Dr Worthington,Medical Health
Officer, made a long report, in which
he showed that several cases of ty-
phoid fever occurred last year, and
no makes some good suggestions,
which, if followed,will place the town
in a first-class sanitary condition. The
only other ailments with which the
town had been particularly afflicted,
were the measles and the itch, both
of which however, had entirely dis-
appeared.
THE Orn, OLD STORY.—The fol-
lowing is reported from a place not
very far from Clinton. Some time
ago a young woman who moved in
good society, and was held in esteem
. generally, left home ; she returned
last week, and complained of being
unwell. Her mother, it is said, bad
a suspicion that the illness was the
result of improper conduct, and the
girl took medicine which resulted in
a premature confinement, she dying
shortly after from the results thereof.
It is the old, old story, so often re-
peated, yet so little heeded.
DISTURBED.—In one of the town
churches on Sunday morning last the
sermon suddenly lost all interest for
a lady, who is a regular and faithful
attendant. The nimister has just got
nicely into his sermon, when a little
bit of humanity about two and a half
Veers old, without any hat on, hair
'disheveled, face unwashed, and car-
rying a doll as large as herself, made
her appeatance inside the church,and
was about to walk down to where her
mother sat, but this person, catching
sight of her, quickly came out and
carried the little mischief back home.
AFTER THE BATrLE.—On Thurs-
day night last, after it was known
that the Scott Act had been repealed,
the feeling of some of the junior antis•
- found expression in the shape of a
couple of bonfit es. There's not much
harm in this, but when property is
destroyed that has a value it is carry-
ing things a little too far, and the
probability is that the town council
will be asked to pay for some of the
property thus destroyed. The tying
of crape on the doors of places occu-
pied by temperance men, as was done
in about a dozen cases, may give com-
fort and pleasure to those who do it,
but it does not hurt the temperance
workers. It was a mean, dirty piece
of business on the part of those who
went to the residence of Lawyer Scott,
and pelted the house with eggs,for he
has simply discharged legal duties,
and besides this the house is owned
by one of the principal antis of the
town. However, now that the contest
is over, the temperance people only
hope that their opponents will be as
law-abiding citizens as they professed
they would be under a license system.
MUST CEASE,—Some time in Jan-
uary last appeared an item from our
Kippen correspondent, headed " An
invasion." Two weeks ago was pub-
lished a letter over the signature of
Subscriber,replying to the same. We
have received a somewhat vigorous
letter from our correspondent in reply,
and while we admit his right to re-
pudiate the charges made against
him, we have concluded that it will
be better to stop any further corres-
pondence over a question that has
lost its public interest. Both "Sub-
scriber" and the correspondent make
incorrect assumptions as to each
other's identity, and the publication
of this letter would only provoke
further correspondence which would
have to be closed sooner or later.
While we -admit the unfair position
in which our correspondent is thus
placed, we deem it wiser to stop right
here than allow it to go on.
WE have also a letter from " Ca-
nadian Butcher," Goderich township,
in reference to the recent doings of
some parties at St. Stephens' church,
and Mr Guy Hicks' party, but have
decided to publish no more such cora-.
.munications. We are not going to
allow our columns to be the vehicle
for a lot of anonymous personal abuse,
if we can help it, and correspondents
can aid us in carrying out this resolu-
tion.
THE License Commissioners under
the Crooks Act will be the same as
they were under the Scott Act. In
the West Riding they are Messrs Jas.
Stevens, Clinton; S. Sloane, Goderich;
and W. Drummond, Blyth. The In-
spectors will be the same as heretofore.
In the West Riding some over -zealous
persons have already been moving for
the appointment of Mr Mallough, of
Dungannon, but they might just as
well save themselves the trouble, as
Mr Paisley will continue to discharge
the duties of his office,
Jr is said that ail the hotels in
Clinton, have applied. for license, but
the Commissioners certainly cannot
carry out the law and grant nine
licenses in a place only entitled to
eight.
THE summing up of the ballots
took place at Goderich, y,esterday,
(Thu. slay) trid the official return, as
kindly furnished us by the C.P.R
Telegraph Co., just as we go to press,
is 1310.
Town Assessment
The assessors have just completed the
"figuring up" of the town assessment,
and through their kindness we are fur-
nished with the following table, show-
ing the result of their work in each
ward. Thaassessment this year shows
an increase of $28,335 over last year,
while the population has grown from
2805 to 3033.
