The Clinton New Era, 1889-08-16, Page 1Tw'Whole NuumberAl2O9� CLINTON, ONT., AUGUST 16, 1889. ROBERT SOLMES. Publisher 1 81.60 a year in advance. Wingham. Dr Tamlyn much resembles one Mentioned in your locals last week; his father was an only sou, he is an only eon and bas an only sou. A mud turtle, weighing about 100 pounds, was seen on the river banks the other day near the bridge, and ' abme of our sports tried to capture it but failed. A PRISONER.—A little lad got his toot caught in a hole in the side walk the other day. Seeing a crowd of boys around the nnfortuoate one, - thither wentyour bumble servant and with difficulty at length reiea'ed the prisoner. Councillors for Ward No 1 please take note. TARE WARNING --Wingham seems to be encamped with sickness just now, as diptheria, typhoid fever, whooping cough, chicken -pox and dystatry; havee ietinia it Wingham at the present time. We think there is room f.r sientewimprovemeet in town,if the authorities would look in - it to the matter a little. PARALyTiC STROBE.—On Monday afternoonl as Mr Crow, a retired gentleman well advanced in years, was cutting some oats adjoining his house,•he was stricken with a para- lytic stroke. He is now lying in a precarious condition, and the doctors say he might linger for. many years or he might take another stroke which would prove fatal. He has lost the use of both legs but still retains the power of speech. -Mr Editor, has a doctor any limit by law for fees charged for profession- al akill ? We could mention several cases where charges have been most shameful. Why should a doctor charge so extravagantly more than other professional men? We believe in doctors getting good compensation for service rendered, but not a prince- ly recompense. [There is no law touching the point.—ED.NEW ERA.] Bolgravel- PERsoNALs.—Rev Geo. Law is away on a two weeks holiday, and there will be no service in the church here for the nest two Sabbaths. Mr Simon Anderson and Miss Annie, his sister, were visiting at Mr Thos. Anderson's, of the 4th con., Morris. Messrs Wm and Robert Stewart, and brothers of our esteemed towns- man, Jas. Stewart, were in the vil- lage thio week, SPORTS.—Our baseball club had a regular outing on Friday last, driviug to Blyth and Clinton, and vanquish- ing both in the national game. He who reported the Blyth game to the Free Press just ,put the finishing touch to this club's whole proceedings which was a farce. When will Blyth show up like men and put a stop to flunking? There was a good game In Clinton had some of the kickers ehowu a little common sense. Our boys hold the Clinton players in high estimation as players and gentlemen, but some spectators need elevating. Our club is prepared for a return match any time and will give some, of Clinton's anxious umpires a show. FIRE.—On Monday morning last at about 3.30.a fire was discovered in a manure heap close to the back of the stable in connection tlith Tovell's general store. Ere it could be ex- tinguished it got into the stable where the coal oil was kept and in a mo- ment all was in a blaze. • There was a fairly strong north east wind at•the time, thus bearing the fire down the street through the old hall, to the post olitie and store, and also carry- ing the flames to the opposite side of the street. An effort was first made to check it ere it reac hed. Tovell's store, that is the post office, but in vain. Everybody worked to save the goods, furniture and the produce of the cellar. The whole store was not long in being a mass of .flame, and the burning shingles and other cinders flying around ignited nearly every other building in the northern part. of the town. McClelland's atore at a distance of about 30 feet away, was beseiged by the fire, and` for about 20 minutes a terrible fight ensued, in which men stood and fought the flames and heat with water and wet blankets, when the heat alone was baking the building. Had this point beetziost; the village—mill and- all was - gone, as the whole is in near connec- tion, but men and women, boys and girls said 'No ? and fortune favored the brave, and it was saved though the goods and propery were much ' destroyed. The loss to the village will be great, as ,the post office, telegraph office, and oneofithe lead- ing stores are all gone. This store was formerly the Morley block, but was now occupied by Mr Toyell, who has $4,500 insurance on the stock. About all the goods were were savedthough considerably damaged, There were forty-six tubs of butter saved and about thirty lost, besides a great many other things. McClelland's loss will be considerable on property and damaged goods, but - was covered by insurawee. JQTTINGs.—Mr Thornington left last • week for other parts. Mr J. Toutit has been on the sick list for the past few days, but is again able toatttend to business. One citizen of, Wingham has a grape vine pretty well laden with grapes, which this year is rather a rare, thing. The boys of our fire brigade are go- ing to take part in the Listowell de• monstration on Friday next. —J Kerr, of the Eclipse. has an assistant e in the shape a smart little lad weigh- ing nine and a half pounds, and I tell you Johnny feels pretty proud OPP just now. DECORATION- DAY.—On th 9th Inst a celebration took place in Wing - ham which wan somewhat new to this vicinity, viz. -the different orders meeting together anding'in one large body to the cemetery; preceded by the town band. When their destina- tion was reached each order separated in order to decorate the graves of their departed friends and brother- hood, as almost each individual had a beautiful bouquet of flowers in their hands, which gaveto the march an impressive effect, and throughout all one could not but think it was both solemn and seemly. DEATH. --The pale horse and its rider have again visited our town during the past week, and in neither cases has he taken the hoary head; but ratter the budding flower. On Thursday he visited the' home of Mr Elliot, of .the Times, taking from there a little baby girl,aged two years and threemontha,by'whooping cough. It is but two months since the bereaved parents laid in its last rest- ing place the body of their youngest child. The other victim, Mise M. Tipling, was taken very suddenly away, owing to some trouble of the heart. She was eighteen years and nine monthif old, and it is only about a year since her mother and two sisters were buried in one short week. Much sympathy is felt_,by this com- intanity for the bereaved families. Dungannon. Mr and Ws Aiken have been the guests of MY and Mrs Oirvin, Miss McWaters, •of Kingston, is visiting friends here as the guest of Mrs R. Pentland: The Dungannon Meth9diet church people are intending making prepare - done -for their annual Harvest Home. Mr A. McKay, who has been at- tending Goderich High School, is at present spending his vacation at his home. Quite a number of our young peo- ple took advantage of the cheap ex- cursion to Port Huron on Thursday; they report an excellent time and scarcely any sea -sickness whatever. 4 Mr and Mrs Hiscox, of Wingham, are visiting their daughter, Mrs W. Sproule. Mr and MrsHiscox were re- sidents of our village for quite a num- ber of years, and their many friends give them a hearty welcome back. A croquet match was played on Friday afternoon on the lawn of Mr Treleaven between the married and single men. liThree men on each side were allowed to play and the game ended in quite a struggle,with a victory ferithe young men. Quite an interesting event took place at the home"of Mrs Treleaven, when a large:number of acquaintances met to join in the celebration of her seventieth birthday. Mrs Treleaven. although attaining to such an age, is looking well and apparently in the enjoyment of gond health. All seem- ed to be enjoying themselves atter which they sat down to a beautifully set table and spread with the dainties which Mrs Treleaven knows so well how to provide., Quite a number of presents were given from many well- wishers. Two.. beautiful addresses twerrItIel, one from the friends in Mettknow the other a poetical ad• dress by her daughter, Miss A, E. Treleaven and was one that does her much Credit. ei ascribe for the Clinton N: •c I•;nt anti get all the home News. Goderieb Township. 1VIra Pennebaker, of the 16th con., is very sick. Mr Ed Tebutt, who has been in California for some time,is now home On a visit. Mr S. Phipps, who threshed his wheat a few days since, found that it turned out twenty-five bushels to the acre. APPo1NTetENT—Mr W. Evans (son of Mr H. 13. Evans, Huron Road) a teacher well known as a faithful sea - dent and indefatigable worker, has received the appointment of Science Master in' the Port Hope High School We believe he will be a valued addi- tion to the school to which he goes; and congratuh,te him on his steady' progress upward: baron ,t'':, Al- ways do good wink, a•rd constqu�r,t.y get good positirrus. SAVED refs COW,—A few days ago a fine cow owned by Mr 'Thus, Jen- kins, of the Huron road, Goderich townsif!ip, gave signs of illness,and as it seemed impossible to relieve it, she gradually failed and it appeared as if she would soon die. Mr Jenkins offered her as a free gift to Mr James Cottle, telling him to keep ber if she lived, and bury her as 8000 ae she died, After Jimmie got the cow he concluded to investigate, and find out her ailment„ it possible. Put- ting his arm se far as the shoulder down her throat, he found that a hone had lodged in the windpipe in such a way as to allow her to breathe but prevent her swallowing. The bone was removed and now she is thriving as well as any cow. 35 cents cash will get the NEW ERA, to new subscrib- ers, for the balance of 1889 .. Blyth. The baseball match which was to have been played here,on Friday last, did not come oa, owing to the Blyth boys not being able to raise a suitable team. A few young men have lately been going to different churches in the village and gettiog up and going out during the service, much to the an- noyance of the. remainder of the con• gregation. Boys, remember that " a word to the wise is aufficient." The movement which was pot on foot a few months ago, to allow clerks off two nights every week at 6 o'clock, is now over, the allotted time having expired, and the poor clerk will now have to stay till 8 o'clock, Hard luck, ain't it, Sky ? , We Were to report in last ,week's issue ore the lamp social. "Weli,now, we just tell you it was first rate," but your correspondent was so much over- -come with the law and its company that he can't give any more aarticu- lars than that the Y. P. S. C.

The Board evidently mean business, but the policy of a certain other body seems to be a put off It would be much more business like to say at once what you intend to do, and having said it to raise the nep's- sary money and do it. ' Our school in the past has cost lees per pupil than any other graded school in the county. Bayfield. SERMONS.—Rev Dr Hunter, of the Congregational church, London, reached in St. Andrew's church last Sunday morning. The subject of his„discourse was `God'—'Who He is' and ' What he is.' MILL.—A public meeting was held in the Town Hall last Saturday even- ing for the purpose of taking into con- sideration the offer of Mr Kalbfleish to move the saw mill and planing mill here provided the corporation grant him a bonus of $2,000 awl a loan of $3,000 for ten years without inSerest,-for the purpose_of erecting - and operating a steam *power roller flour mill of a capacity ot not less than 50 barrels a day. Several of those present spoke in favor of the scheme, when it was moved Mr John Morgan and rseconded by Dr Nichol that the Council submit a byelaw for the purpose of,granting to; Mr Kalb- fleish the sum of $2,000 as a bonus and $3,000 without interest for ten years, on condition that be move his planing and saw mill to this village. HoImesville. NOTES.—Miss Ida Murch has suc- ceeded in passing her examination for second class. Mrs W. F. Campbell is on a visit to friends south of Brant- ford, alissrLove, from Seaforth, vis- its friends here. Hoitro AoAIN,—Dfif J. L: Courtice and wife returned from their exten- sive western tour on Monday last. �Ir Courtice says there is more brok- en and waste land in many of the western states than he expected to see. He passed through no lase than ten States of the American Union and went west as far as Denver. He brought samples of wheat in the stalk showing.three or four grades, viz :—the good, the poor and the use- less, that la the straw of which is too short to be cut. He says that even in the drier districts of Dakota there will,be.considerable wheat. In other par of Dakota he saw hundreds of a res of first class wheat. He does not think,however,thnt.he would like to make the western states his per- manent home. Tuckersmitli EXPLANATION. In your last week's issue an item appeared stating that the paragraph about:Mr Josiah White having purchased a half interest in Mr H. B. Evans' threshing machine was incorrect. I, would just like to say that at the time it appeared in your paper it was correct. But since that time Mr White has withdrawn his agreement. When a man comes and asks a person for bis threshing it looks as if he had a little to do with a machine or else he must be a little off. It also stated it would like to know who is meant by Joe. Well that islikely a misprint as it should have been Joe. instead of Joe We are sure the party knew who was meant or etas, he is very dui). You know it is said a wink is as good as a nod to a blind horse. I hope this ex- planation will satisfy the party con- cerned and the next Limp he makes an agreement we advise him to go through with it, and not have any occasion to contradict an item that may appear in a paper,which he ask- ed your correspondeiat to insert.—Con intended for last week A REPLY TO THE UNBECOMING.— A couple of young men of the West End, are in the habit,when a ladylor stranger vieits this vtcinity,of follow- ing her down past the place where she is residing, although their homes lie in an opposite direction. •They said last week the ladies gave lip and slang to them, it was they who gave the lip and slang to the ladies. Be- cause the ladies took their own part those young gentlemen called it lip and slang. Those young gentlemen, or at least they call themselves so, thought they were showing their cleverness off to great advantage, but if they only knew they were showing off the sballowness of their brain. As regardingestimation, those young ladies wouldn't. wish to bo esteeemed in steel young men's -society, they hold ;.heir heads a rank higher.—Coit, Stanley. PERsoNAt.s,—Mr Thos. R. But- chart ubchart 'returned to Elgin county, on - Saturday last, Mr Bentley has gone to Michigan to visit some friends there. Mrs Brydon, of Manitoba, a former resident of Stanley, is at pre- sent visiting old acquaintances in her old home ; she is a daughter of the late Alexander Fraser, of the rtb con. of Stanley, Ura etiel(1. PLEASANTLY ASANTLY Srar'iusan,—Mr P. O'Neil was pleasantly surprised the other day when Mrs O'Neil present- ed hini with large and handsome twins, a any and a vitt. We wish you joy, Erne, with your darling babies. The' following is the watchmaker's Iatest yarn, (but he won't tell where he got it) :—A Scotch elder was read- ing and commenting on the 34th Psalm, and the.book being printed in the old style when he came to the 13th verse he saw, ” Keep thy tongue from evil and thy lips from speaking guile." The last two words he ren- dered in mistake as "squeaking girls," and then remarked by way of exposi- tion, "It is evident from this passage that Scripture does not absolutely forbid kissing, but aa in Christianity everything is to be done decently and in order, we are bere encouraged to choose those girls that quietly and not those who squeak under the opera- tion." Next. BRIEFS.—A number of our citizens -spent the -Civic -holiday by taking in the excursion to St. Clair, Mich. The Foregeters held their. regular meeting, on Tesday night last. The I. O. G. T. held their regular meeting on Fri- day night last, an enjoyable pro- gramme being given by, the members atter the business was transacted. We would advise the Standard's West- field correspondent to be a little leas personal in his. remarks, else he may find himselfin trouble. The Y. P. S. C. E regular meeting was presided over by Mr Fred Bryant, on Tuesday, in a very creditable manner; it speaks well for a young man's future to see him taking a prominent part in church work. There is a rumor to the effect that the windmill has beeu disposed of, and is to be used in the tea -peddling business. Messrs Slater and Sims, our enterprising black- smiths, have their new building on a fair way to completion, which will make a grand improvement to that corner. Yesterday, being Civic holi- day all business places were closed. The Blyth Standard thinks it has earned a few holidays,and gonsequent- ly will issue no paper this Week. Mr John Mason has just completed a fine driving shed, on -Queen street, which greatly exceeds theeformer building. School re -opens a week from Monday, much .to the sorrow of many an ur- chins.

Miss Lizzie Edwards is a genius in her way; ebe recllntly purchased a camera and photographic outfit, and without the aid of a teacher she has so far per- fected herself in the art that ber work is almost equal to that of the city artists ; she is having a lot of work-in the shape of farming scenes, residences, etc., and all are well sat• isfied with her work. We see by last week's ERA that there are nine eghool teachers in Belgrave who want a game of baseball with nine of some other place; well, we have not nine school teachers here,but we have nine Scotts who might make it interesting for them, if they could not beat them.

SUNDAY FISHING.—Some parties ere observed fishing at Trick's mill am, on Sunday last, If this is re- eated they will be prosecuted for respass. An accident occurred at Broadview an., Wednesday morning. A re- pected citizen named John Joslyn, hile on the track, was struck by tt seeing engine and instantly killed. The above is supposed by people ere, to mean Mr John Joslie, form- rly of Clinton, but as his farm was t Virden, two stations east of Broad- iew, the hope is held that it may be ome other of the same 'name.—En. EW ERA.] \VSAT WAS WANTED.—The rain ot his week is just what has been want - d tor some time. Pastures weredry- ng up, and roots were suffering lightly, while cisterns and creeks ere getting low. The farmers have ad splendid 'harvest weather, and if hey have not at least got in their ay and fall wheat in good shape it as been their own fault. A steady ain for a week would not do any arm. UMPIRING WITH A VENG rnEANcP.— An umpire from Belgrave, ironical - y called Sterling, brought a team of aseball players from Belgrave and Windham to play a friendly Fame with the Clinton team ]act Friday. ❑ the first part ot the game the play - ng on neither sides was brilliant, but fter Quigley came on to catch, the elding of the home team was neat, n the second innings Belgrave scored hree runs, some of them gained of er the side bad properly been put, ut, The umpire 'was not fitted for is position either by reason, na'ure r art. The way in which he called trikes on the Clinton players was ighly amusing; timo after time foul ips were made that could be heats a ong distance behind him, but the in- arinblo ruling was a strike, and in early every innings one pr two bat - en warn struck out en foul tips. eed the mar. from Belgrave is a cur- osity as an umpire. A ten year old ad playing the game around the eld that day would have displayed s much knowledge as he showed and is power of seeing and hearing would ave been sharper. As more than ne spectator saki, it was the rankest mpiring ever seen on the Clinton rounds. 13 t there is a phance for he umpire to learn the rules yet, as ne of the C;inton players offered to uy him a copy of Spalding's base all guile for 1.389. Before he tries o umpire asiain he tia(1 better be no- uainff.'d with such a book. The time, as decided by this impartial rnpire, stood 20 tt 12 against Clin- on and an innings to spare.
