CLINTON STILL LEADING.
HIGHER PRICES FOR WHEAT
HERE THAN ANYWHERE
AROUND.
We proved last week, by quota-
tions from the papers of the county,
that the price of •wheat in Clinton
market was higher than in any other
place hereabout. From the same
source we this week prove that Clin-
ton still has the lead, and to make
the comparison more effective, have
taken a little wider.range of territory.
Farmers: with grain to sell should
make a note of those figures and
govern themselves• accordingly, be-
cause the prices of other articles than
wheat are in the eame proportion :—
Goderich, Fall 1Theat--$1.18 to $1.20.
Seaforth, '---$1.18 —$1.20.
Mitchell, " ----$1.12 -- $1.17.
Exeter, " -$1.12 —$1.18.
Brussels, " --81.1 —$1,18.
1�'inghaul, " --$1.14 —$1.16.
Blyth, ---$1.18 —$1.20.
London, ---81.20 — $1.20.
Guelph, ' --'81.15 — $1.15.
Hamilton . •' •'-----81.10 -- $1.20.
Clinton, " .4— $1.18-11
Said a farmer from the lower end,
of Stanley on Monday:—"A neigh-
bor of mine took a load of wheat to
Seaforth on Saturday, and sold it at
81.18 a bushel; I came to Clinton
first thing this morning and got 81.21
for mine." -
DEATII Iia DAKOTA.—The friends
of Mr George Balderson, formerly of
this neighborhood,will regret to learn
that his wife died recently.
SALT INsPECToR.—It is rumored
that the government has created it
new office, that of Salt Inspector, and
appointed Mr Thos.Kidd,of Seaforth,
thereto. We do not vouch for the
report, and only give it as it is
rumored.
A LARGE TREE.—Mr S. S. Cooper
states that while be was, recently
working at Mr Pickard's,Holmesyille,
he, with others went out to measure
a large soft elm tree that stands on
the farm, and found it to go thirty-
three feet, six inches at the butt, and
it was -estimated that the tree would
cut up into at least six twelve -foot
logs. This seems a very large tree,
but Mr Cooper vouches for the mea-
. eurement. .
STILL ANOTIIEIL—E. B. Hollis,
Canada's celebrated character imper-
sonator and vocalist,with his special-
ly selected company of Canadian
vocalists and instrumentalists will
appear in the town hall, Clinton, on
Tuesday, 27th November. Mrs and
Miss Annie Sage, Walton, musical
glass performers, Mrs Vanderlip, of
Brantford, and others will form the
company.
SUCCESSrcr..—Mr John A. Cooper,
of Clinton, teacher in section No. 9,
Goderich township, an ex -student of
the Clinton Collegiate Institute, has,
on the reconsideration of(his appeal,
been given the standing of First Claes
Grade C. This makes six out of the
twelve who wrote in Clinton at the
first class examination who have
passed on 60 per cent, of the whole.
We congratulate our friend on his
success,and it is the more noteworthy
on account of his having studied for
the examination while teaching in
his school, and doing full justice
thereto, lilt the same time. He is an
indefatigable worker; hence his
success.

'` Rev'J. M. Swath, of Hamilton,w.ho
some time ago received a unanimous
call, from the Baptists of ,Clinton and
the base lino, bas accepted the sande
and will commence hielabors on Son
day next, preaching morning and

Mrs W. Srnithson's class, in the
Baptist Sunday School, with the help
of friends who gave money, pieces of
cretonne and work, for which they
are cordially thanked,patched a quilt
to give to Foreign Missions. which
was sold two weeks ago in Toronto,
by Mrs Newwan,for eight dollars and
fifty-five cents, the money being
handed over to the treasurer for
Foreign Missions. Mrs Newman
speaks of the quilt as being a very
nice one.
The members of Rattenbury street.
Home Circle were favored last Friday
with vocal selections from the choir,
Mrs A. O. Pattison and Messrs Liv-
ingstone, Sibley and Oakes; Mrs
Detior and John Cooper gave read-
ings, Misses Hackee and I. McKowen
recited. In the middle of the pro-
gramme the study of Macbeth, in the
first two scenes was taken up and the
parts allotted. The Circle has ad-
journed until the close of the revival
services now being held.
The itharterly meeting services
held in Rattenbury St. church on
Sunday morning$last, were the best
that have been held there for years.
After a short sermon by M. Living-
stone, the lovefeaet was held, and for
an hour testimonies of Divine power
and grace were given in rapid suc-
cession, several being on their feet at
the same time. Contrary to the
general proceedure of "experience
meetings," there was very little time
lost, the majority present being ap-
parently anxious to "speak well of
the name of the Lord." About two
hundred and fifty participated in the
communion services after. At the I
quarterly official board meeting on
Monday night, all the old officers
were re-elected.
REYIVAS. SERVICES.—Special ser-
vices are being conducted in town by
Rev D.O. Crossley and Prof.Canfield.
The latter takes the place of Mr
Bates, who has gone to Southern
California with hie wife for the bene-
fit of her health. The services are
held nightly, this week being in the
Rattenbury street church, and next
week they will be held in Ontario
street church. Large numbers have
attended the meetings and there is
every indication of a good work being
done. Mr Crossley is anable minis-
ter of the Methodist church, Mr Can-
field being a layman of the same
body, recognized as a singer of un-
usual power.
The regular quarterly meeting ser-
vices of the Ontario St. church were
held last Saturday and Sunday. On
Saturday the Board transacted its
business with a very full representa
tion present, and the session was an
exceedingly pleasant one, the pastor
remarking that he had not remem-
bered a board meeting where the work
was so promptly and amicably per-
formed. The finances were well up
and everything in connection with
ithe circuit reported as in a prosper-
ous condition. The pastor's nominees
i for stewards—Messrs John Gibbings,
A. H. Manning, W. Tiplady, H. R.
Walker, Geo. Nott, Wm. Elcoat and
T. Townsend, were unanimously
elected. The representativesfrom
the board to the Sunday School com-
mittee were appointed as follows :—
Messrs W. Tiplady, J. Govett and H,
Plumsteel. The Sunday services
were conducted by the pastor, Rev
Jos. Edge, and Rev Mr Crossley and
morning and evening the church was
full. In the afternoon an open Sun-
day School session was held of which
Mr Crossley took charge and made
the proceedings extremely interesting.
All the quarterly services were char-
acterized by earnestness and love and
were seasons of great profit.
, BACaELOR's SOCIAL,—This event
proved to be one of the features of
this leap year. The large audience
that assembled last Thursday evening,
in .the Ontario street church, were
received by about 30 bachelors clothed
in spotless white aprons and caps,
and evidently bent upon an evening
of enjoyment and fun. The base-
ment was provided with small tables
sufficient to accommodate, a large
number, and these were repeatedly
filled, After refreshments, the audi-
ence repaired upstairs, where' an ex-
cellent programme was presented and
carried -out. Short addresses were
given by Rev Mr Cossens, Dr Horsey
and Rev Mr Edge ; Rev Mr Living-
stone read several selections, to the
very great delight of his listeners, and
was loudly applauded. The choir
and the Bachelors' Quartette Club
rendered many good selections, which
were much appreciated. Deputy -
Reeve Manning presided over the
evening's entertainment, which was,
on the whole, very successful. There
are so many who contributed in vari-
ous ways to make the social enjoy-
able, that it would be invidious to
particularize, The proceeds were
large.
LECTURE.—Rev John Wilkie, one
of the Presbyterian missionaries to
India, home on a furlough, wilt de-
liver a lecture in Willis church, on
the evening of Tuesday next, on "The
manner and customs of India," and
the work of the missionaries. Silver
collection on behalf of the Women's
Foreign Mission Society. Speaking
of this lecture et Guelph, a paper of
that city says : "Mr Wilkie's lecture
was illustrative of the social ha-
bits and dress of the Hindus. These
were rendered specially interesting
by several young people appearing in
the actual dresses worn by the Hin-
due, both mate and female, from the
Parsees and Brahmins down through
all the castes to the lowest. There
was also displayed quite a foil collec-
tion of samples of needle work, em-
broidery, inlaid work, etc., all of
exquisite workmanship, The reli-
gious custofns of 'the Hindus, Mo-
hammedans and Buddhistrvere also
dtribed, and one of the prayer
wheels used by the Buddhists in their
devotions was exhibited, and caused
much amusement. The lecture was
of it deeply interesting character
throughout, and the dress,' etcc., ex-
hibited gave one a better idea of the
habits and customs of the natives of
India than could be gathered from a
long -written description.
DISMISSED.—The case against these
seven youths, charged with stealing
a parcel belonging to John Smith, a
Jew,came up for hearing on Tuesday.
all the defendants but three had dis-
appeared. When the Jew was called
to the witness box he was perplexed
as to how he should take the oath,
(they usually swearing by the Pente-
tench) and as it was impossible to
find a 'Bible in town possessing only
the Old Testament, Mr Manning:,
told him to kiss that side of the 13ib18
which contained these books, and he
did so. His evidence went to show
that after the loss atilt goods he was
paid $'(0 by the proprietor of the
hotel where he was stopping, not as
some supposed, for the purpose of
keeping out of the way when wanted
to, appear, but to recoup him for the
loss which had occurred in his hotel.
There being no evidence to show that
the three prisoners had any connec-
tion with the theft, they were dis-
miSQed.
Fon THE DEFENCE—The now cele-
brated case of Beatty vs. Buckbur-
rough was decided by the judge on
7'uc':lay, who gave his d • •ision in
favor of the defendant.

Mr W. B. Laing, (son-in-law of T.

has invariably been "hard up," has

We learn from the Algoma Advo-
cate that a big fire visited Thessalon
on Saturday, Oct. 20th, andamong
the business places destroyed was
that of W. D. Hill. Mi Hill is a son
of John Hill, 9th con. of Grey, and
brother of J. W. Hill, Clinton. He
had the most of his goods saved.
The business of Mr Geo. A. Shar-
man, harnesamaker, is in the hands
of his sredttors. The failure is en-
tirely ufl a to mismanagement, as no
one could expect to succeed who did
not give more careful attention to it
than this person. He had an excel-
lent chance but preferred to throw it
away.

CLINTON THE HUB.
To the Editor q/ the New Era,
DEAR SIR,—Having once lived in
Clinton I still call it my home, there-
fore is it I find great pleasure in the
weekly perusal of the NEW ERA, and
as I look through , its pages am ever
reminded that Clinton is in truth the
hub of the county. It possesses much
to make.it attractive—its salubrious
clime. Hosever foul the weather in
immediate vicinity, there you can
always depend on hair weather. Its
loyalty supports even a King in its
midst, who, with°kingly bounty is
ever ready to supply the most essen-
tial of all temporal wants to his peo-
ple. Owing to the healthful atmos.
phere, among its denizens can ever be
found those who are Bale; yea, and
some who have reached the allotted
span of life are yet Young as the day
they were born. No one (not even
its jealous enemies) can dispute the
sociability existing in its midst, for
does it not possess Holmes ; not homes
exactly for the destitute or the or-
phan, but homes that strive to make
other homes happy, bright and cheer-
ful. It has some peculiarities, how-
ever, for instance, it has no sheep,
but quite a few ,Shepherds; it is not
very lofty, nor in a valley, but yet
are there hills, and quite a few ,Stere
paces in its very centre. The peo-
ple are not greedy, yet have they
many Cooks ; but one mill, yet more
than one lliillar, brave and fearless,
possessing at all times the heart
of Oaks; orderly and quiet, having a-
Harel that loveth to keep the law.
Not easily satisfied; give them as
much a9 you will, yet do they look
for Moore. Honest and true, loving
to encourage Pay. The people may
not haye large throats, but will guar-
antee they have a good b'wallow ; they
do not like slavery, but encourage a
I3•eenian at any time. In their eyes
a, hard rock does not find such favor
as a Livingstone, nor a huge moun-
tain as a beautiful Craig. They may
riot be great runners, but they have
many good Walkers in their midst,
If their heads do not like the brush,
they have great respect for the Coutbe.
Truly Canadian at heart, yet many
go to C7lasgow for goods. Did space
permit, Clinton's attractions could
be greatly enumerated., J could tell
of Noble hearts, of grand 1Tunt. , and
big Gunns; could speak on points of
interest in the L'acG and 1I -eq ; could
tell that the people's favorite -color is
hro+n'n, and how, for many years, they
have enjoyed the same Re err, but, as
