tional football match between the
Fall River Rovers, Champions of the
American Association, and the Sea -
forth Football Club, will be played
at Seaforth, on the afternoon of the
31st inst., play to commence at 4.30.
No doubt a very exciting game will
be witnessed.
QUITE A SPREAD.—Librarian Scott,
of the Mechanics' Institute, has an
umbrella that looks like a small tent
as it moves down street, which has
been in constant use for nearly fifteen
years, and is "just as good as new."
He says that if it was an ordinary -
sized umbrella it would have been
stolen years ago.
COUNTY COUNCIL. The June
meeting -of the County Council Will
commence at Goderich, on the 4th of
June. The chief business of the June
session is always the equalization of
the various assessment rolls. It is
not unlikely that the present council
will do as its predecessor of last year
did, and abolish the December ses-
sion.
WENT FURTHER. AND FARED
WORSE.—It does not always follow
that the further a man goes the better
he .will fare. Here is a case in point.
Last week a farmer who resides near
Dublin took a load of hay to that
place and was offered $S a ton for it.
Thinking he would do better further
west, he drove to Seaforth and was
offered the same. Not satisfied he
drove to Clinton, expecting to get
about $14 a ton for it, but he sold it.
here at $8, It would have been much
better to have accepted that fissure in
the first place.
THE GitOWING Ci:ors,—Every per-
son spoken to concerning the crops
speak of the growth this spring as
being very unusual. Fall wheat is.
already veryllong, pastures exception-
ally good, and tliehay crop promises
to be heavy and very early ; it is not
at all unlikely that haying will be
• entirely over by about the first of
July. The only crop that seems at
all .backward is barley. At present
the prospects for the farmer are most
encouraging, and it is hoped that
nothing will occur during the season
to blight them.
STOCK NOTES.—Mr John W. Mc-
Donald, Porter's Hill, has secured
from W. .T. Biggins, Elmhurst Farm,
Clinton,.. the eight months old calf
Royal Celt=10988—sired by Import-
ed Excelsior—(51233)—a successful
prize winner both in Scotland and
Canada. His dam,.Isabella Brough-
ton, is a descendent of Mr Miller's
famous old imported cow, Isabella,
bred by Mr Campbell, of Kinellar,
Aberdeen,Scotlan'd. Mr McDonald's
Royal Celt is very nicely bred and
will make a good useful animal. Two
mare very promising calves (Vice
Zogal and Vicar of Lent) are intend-
ed for sale in the fall • They are both
of the Matchless family and sired by
Imported Excelsior.
IIS OTHERS WOULD THINK Lima•
.WISE.—Mr H. S. McLean, late of the
Collegiate Institute, writes from Port-
age la Prairie, under date o„t the 13th
inst., as follows :—"Your excellent
paper reaches me every Monday,even-
ing. The NEW ERA seems to be con-
stantly gaining ground notwithstand-
ing the hard times in Ontario this
year. It is really an interesting and
well -edited weekly. To run such a
journal must cost a few cents each
year, I therefor send herewith my
subscription. The weather here has
been beautiful and warm of late. Fine
spring rains have started vegetation,
so that everthing looks green and
lifelike. The large wheatfields,which
are to be seen over this country, pre-
sent a very promising appearance."
RUNAWAYS.—On Saturlay night,
while Mr John Smith, of the 16th
con, Goderich township, accompanied
by his wife and daughter, were driv-
ing down Rattenbury St. the horse
ran away, and when it reached Ray -
son's corner it suddenly turned,throw-
ing the waggon over. All the occu-
pants were, of course, thrown out,
and more or less injured, it was at
first supposed seriously, but medical
examination failed to show anything
more than severe bruises.
One day last week as Mrs W. El-
liott, of Goderich township, was driv-
ing to town with a team, the strap
holdin5 up the neckyoke broke as
they were coming down the long hill
on the Cut Line, beyond Holrnesville.
Mrs Elliott is known as one of the
best drivers in the county, and pluck-
ily did her beat to keep the horses
under control, but they galloped
down the road in spite of hbr, though
they did not getaway. Seeing a bush
heap ahead she concluded to run the
horses into that, which she did,'both
horses being thrown down and stop-
ped. The momentum was such that
the gearing and springs of the waggon
were broken, and the box thrown
forward several feet. She had a bas-
ket of eggs in the bottom of the wag-
gon, anu singular to say, only a few
of them were broken. Mrs Elliott
and boy managed to retain their posi-
tion in the waggon uninjured. It has
to be an extra good team that can get
away from this larly, so long As the
harness is all right.
BROKE.—The other day a portion
of the engine that furnishes power
for the Doherty Organ Factory,broke,
and the machinery had to stand still
for a couple of days. The damage
is being repaired as speedily as pos-
sible, and everything will be again
running this week.
Loos OUT FOR HI.Mt.—The pub-
lishers of the Horseman, a stock
paper published in Chicago, send"out
a caution against any one paying
money to a man named Healey, who
has turned up at several places in
Canada, as a collector for them. , He
is denounced by them as a fraud,and
has ne authority to act for them in
any way.
GONE WEST.—Mr Reith left on
Tuesday, for Griswold, Manitoba, on
a prospecting trip, Mrs Gri>fiths,who
has relatives in Manitoba, left for
that Province, on Tuesday. Mr Fox
and family left, on Wednesday, both
the latter being booked through by
Mr W. Jackson, and Mr J. Eades
went prospecting the same day,be se-
curing a C. P. R. ticket of Mr Pat-
tison.
DR HUNTER'S LF,CTURE.—The at-
tendance at the Rev Dr Hunter's lec-
ture, last Thursday evening, was not
as large as anticipated, nor was there
that ent uaiasm manifested which
the topielqf bis lecture would natur-
ally lead one to expect. He had too
many extracts to read, which made
the affair tedious. There were un-
questionably some strong points in it,
but they did -not seem to possess the
fire they should have possessed. A
vote of thanks was given him at the
close.
MIGHT HAVE BEEN MURDER.—
One evening last week a young man
who has hitherto been regarded as
one of the quietest and most inoffen-
sive youths, came down town with
the expressed purpose of shooting a
certain man on sight, and had in his
possession two loaded revolvers with
which to carry out his intentions.
The intended victim was cautioned of
the other's threats, and sought pro-
tection and assistance, which only
prevented what otherwise might have
been murder. As the young man
seemed to be laboring under mental
aberration his father was sent for and
he was taken to his home in the east.
• CATTLE. —The other day a number
of prime cattle were shipped from
here,the buyers being Messrs McLean,
Smith and Andrews. The lot deliv-
ered, by Mr James Fair were partic-
ularly good, and strike a high aver-
age, while among the others was a
1550 lb. steer raised by Charlie Pea-
cock, of Hullett, that was a perfect
beauty. Those disposing of the ani-
mals, with the weight thereof, were
as follows :—T. McKay, Tuckersmith,
4 head, 6040 lbs,; J. Murdock, Tuck-
ersrotth, 4 head, 5510 lbs.; Jas. Fair,
20 head, 27450 lbs.; C. Peacock, Hul-
lett, 10 hrad, 9370 lbs.; Mr Wood,
1130 lbs.; Mr Murphy, Hullett, 3
head, 3300 lbs.;_ J. White, Tucker -
smith, 2 head, 2510 lbs.; J. Caldwell,
Hullett, 8 head 8680 lbs.; A. Taylor,
Hullett, 4 head, 5040 lbs.; R. Cole,
Hullett, 2 head, 2340 lbs.; J. Izzard,
Goderich township, 12,10 lbs.; R.
Marshall, Goderich township,950 lbs.
I3ACtc.—Mr \V.Muir, who had been
.in Manitoba for a couple of months,
in the interest of Ferran, Macpher-
aori & Hovey, returned home last Sat-
urday ; he said that props looked well,
Mr James Steep, who went up with a
'lot of apples, got back last week he
thinks the west a fine place, but says
the absence of fences and the fine
buildings that denote Ontario farms,
hives it a desolate appearance to one
unaccustomed to the monotony of the
prairie, and has no intention of going
there to live. Dr J. Steep, of Sel-
kirk, who came down here to pur-
chase a couple of driving horses, se-
cured them and left on his return
this week ; most people think that
"Jack" really has something much
better than "drivers" in view, and it
is not unlikely that he will return
again at an early date for the "article"
he desires. Mr P. Straith, who has
been in Chicago and other parts of
the west for some months, in the in-
terest of his Mower Knife Sharpener,
has returned to town. -

THE LATEST ASSOCIATIONS. — A
large and enthusiastic meeting of the
druggists of Huron, 13ruce and Grey
was held at Palmerston on Tuesday
for the purpose of forming a druggists'
association for the counties of Bruce,
Huron and Grey. The following of-
ficers were elected .—President, Dr.
Martyn, Kincardine ;' 1st Vice -Presi-

tical Council to be held in July heat.
The Huron, North Grey, Welling-
ton and Bruce Millers' Association
held a special meeting at Listowel,on
Tuesday to discuss the question of the
tariff on wheat and flour, and it was
decided to adopt a suggestion by Mr
David Hewes, of Brantfortl,and call a
mats meeting of Ontario millers at
Toronto, where an association will be
formed with the avowed object of
regulating the trade. It was also de-
cided to petition theGovernment to do
away with the duty on soft coal, so as
to punish the people of the Maritime
Provinceaifor opposition to any change
in the breadstuff tariff, as they have
done.

There was a very large attendance
at the Baptist church, on Sunday
evening, (many went there who could
not get in) drawn thither, no doubt,
by the announced baptisms that were
to take place. After the sermon in
which special reference was made to
the cardinal doctrines of this church,
five candidates received the rite of
baptism, Service will be hereafter
held in the council chamber until the
new church is ready for occupaticu.
At the adjourned meeting of the

official board, on Monday evening
last, the following resolution was
unanimously passed: — Moved by
R. Holmes, and seconded by J. C.
Detlor, that this Board desires to
place on record its appreciation of
the services of Rev J. Livingstone,
pastor for• the last year, who has not
only labored faithfully and well, but
with arf eye single to the glory of
God, thus keeping up the interest in
church fellowship and work, and un•
tier whose ministrations the church
attendance has ,, largely increased.
And while grateful to our Heavenly
Father for all the blessings of the past
year, our desire and prayer is that in
the coming one both pastor and peo-
ple may be so endowed with spiritual
power ,that even. more zealous and
aggressive work may be accomplished,
and thus bring honor to Him whom
we delight to serve:
The Kincardine Reporter says:-
The Baptist congregation of this
town have not only a neat and com-
modious chapel, - but, have earnest
Chriatian•workers who do mugh in
their masters vineyard, and by. their
intelligent efforts are winning souls
for the kingdom. 'But above every-
thing else in connection with carrying
on the work, the congregation has at
its bead a gentleman as pastor. Rev
John Grey is a clergyman who holds
the respect and esteem of every de-
nomination in town, we hold him
highly as a personal friend, and we
have always found him true to the
right. His reputation as a pulpit
speaker, and teacher was second to
none in the county of Huron, while
he was a resident in Clinton. He
stands among the foremost in this
county. We are glad the Baptist con-
gregation is flourishing. We con-
gratulate the denomination in having
Rev Mr Grey as a pastor. Long may
he continue in that position, although
since coming here he has received
calls from much larger towns than
ours.
NOT Sow.—The house and land of
Mr Joseph Stephenson, on the Lon-
don road, put up by auction an Sat-
urday, was not sold, the price offered
not•being what Mr Stephenson con-
sidered it worth.
ACCIDENT.— On Wednesday last
Mr Thos, Gibbinga met with a pain-
ful accident, while assisting to pull
down an old building on the farm of
his brother William, on the Huron
road. An iron wedge was being
used to drive out some of the pine
holding the timbers in place, and it
missed its mark and struck Mr Gib -
binge a tremendous blow immediately
over the eye, breaking the forehead
bone, but fortunately not affecting the
eye. The wound pas dressed, and
he is doing as well ascan be expected.
