MOVING TO PRESCOTT.—The Strat-
ford Herald thus alludes to a �on•in-
1 w of the late Major Murray :—Mr
Clagence Young, of the Merchants'
Bank here, has been appointed to a
more responsible position in the
branch of the Bank in the town of
Prescott, and will leave for that town
about the 1st of Sept. Mr Young's de-
parture will be sincerely regretted by
the music loving portion of the com-
munity. As leader ofSt James church
choir Mr Young has brought that or-
ganization to a most creditable state
of efficiency; while as a tenor vocalist
he has been one of the most popular
and best appreciated figures that have
appeared on the Stratford concert
stage. Mr Young will be an acquisi-
tion to Prescott and a deo'ided loss to
Stratford.
a few days.
Local Church Chimes.
Rev Mr Stewart left on Wednesday
for his holidays. He goes on a visit
to bit mother in Quebec. Elis pulpit
will be oecupied the first two Sabbaths
by Rev Mr Radcliffe, from St. Cath-
arines. •
Rev W. Craig left on Saturday
evening for a trip to Duluth, having
been granted aholiday by his church
officials and a purse of money by his
friends. His pulpit on Sunday was
supplied by. Mr Stringer, a student.
The Quarterly services in the On-
tario St, Methodist Church last Sun-
day were well attended and were
times of enjoyment •to all who'took
part. The pastor's evening discourse
was a fine effort full of practical;
thoughts and needed lessous. , Rev J.
Livingstone assisted in the Sacra-
mental services.
We regret tosay that the Rev Dr
Williams; our General Superinten•
dent, is in very feeble health. The
hope" of improvement which were
cherished some time ago have not
been realized. This 'news will cause
deep regret to many attached friends.
His faith is calmly stayed upon God,
and he is fully resigned to His will.—
Christian Guardian.
DEATH.—Miss Holmes, sister of
Mr E. Holmes, (formerly of the NEw
ERA,) died at the residence of the
family, St. Catharines, on Friday
last. While Mr Holmes was attend-
ing the funeral he was attacked with
cholera morbus, and was so bad that
his life was despaired of on Saturday;
his old friends will be pleased to know
that be is once more his wonted self.
A Goon ORGAN,—The congrega-
tion of the Methodist church in
Londesboro have purchased from the
• Oakes Organ Co., Clinton, a very fine
pipe top organ. Experts who tested
the instrument pronounce it first-class
both in tone and design of case. It
is certainly an ornament to the. church
iri which it stands, and also reflects
great credit on the company who are
its builder.
REPUDIATES Fr.—Two weeks ago
there appeared in 'our columns a
couple of birth notices that afterward..
• turned out to be bogus. They came
to us over the signature of Mrs J. H.
Govier, a respected resident of Hul-
lett, and knowing this lady to be per-
fectly reliable, the notices were in-
serted by us, without any knowledge
of their falsity. This party repudiates
havin�gg anything whatever to do with
eendifig them in, and it therefore
seems clear that there is some one
not only capable of despicable mean-
ness in sending such items in the first
place, but also guilty of forgery in
carrying out the scheme.
Mr Thos. Cole has bought an in-
terest in the threshing machine of
his brother Peter, and they are work-
ing it together this season.
Mrs Tuffts, of tbia place, loses over
$20110 by the Fite at Belgra-ve,on Mon-

property that was burned there.
Mr J. H. Worsell is attending the
meeting of the Gaud Lodge of Odd -
fellows, at St, Catharines, as repre-
sentative from Clinton Lodge No. 84.
Mr Thos. Tipling was called to at-
tend the funeral of his neice at Wing•
ham, on Friday. She bas been ailing
for some time,and was nearly 19 years
of age.
Keep in mind the fact that the Hu-
ron Central Exhibitiou, to be held in
Clinton, on Sept. 24, 25, 26, will be
ahead of any previous one, and will
be well worth attending.

On
EQUAL RIGHTS.—A meeting with
the view to the organization of,.a
branch of the Equal Rights Astg
tion was held in the Counci 'ham•
ber, Town Hall, on Monday%'dvening
last. On motion .Mr *Lee Stevenson
took the chair and;atbted the object
of calling the meeting. There then
followed a sjigrt explanation of the
movement fetid the principles and
aims of the Provincial, Association
and -the nature of its organization.
Iti'view of the small number in at-
;. `tendance it was decided to adjouep to
meet again at the same place, next
Monday, at 8 o'clock,when it is hoped
that there will be a much larger at-
tendance, and the organization of a
vigorous branch of the Association
will be effected.
THE ANTICS OF A COLT.—Monday
afternoon Mr W. Core was leading a
quiet -looking, inoffensive colt attach
ed to a sulky, and when just in front
of the NEW ERA Office he offered to
lend it to Mr W. J. Paisley to exer-
ciseit. Just as this person stepped
into the road to accept the offer, the
colt showed more signs of life and e•u-
• ergy than one would suppose it pos-
sessed, and as is commenced plung-
ing to get away, threw Mr Core down,
and he bad to relinquish bit hold.
Paisley then made a plucky grab for
his head, but happened to catch the
halter shank, and though he bravely
hung on for some time notwithstand-
in g the horse's desperate efforts to free
itself, he had no control over it, and
had to let it go. The sulky, which
had been on its side,righted itself,and
the horse galloped up Albert street,
narrowly missing vehicles and pedes-
trians. Haltway rip the hill it stop-
ped, a broken shaft being the only
injury done. Itway afterwards hitch-
ed in ,a long•shafted cart kept pur-
posely for breaking -in horses, and
while Drsc.Blackall occupied the seat,
• Oliver Johnston followed with a rope
attached to the bit, the intention be-
ing to thoroughly subdue rind conquer
the animal, In front of the NEW
ERA office it again bolted, making a
bee lino for the open door, and being
prevented from doing damage only
by the shaft striking the door jam.
Inside the office sat the wife of Rev
A. Stewart, and her feelings, for the
moment, can be imagined. A iter
being pulled off the sidewalk here, it
shade a bolt across the open street,and
was only prevented from entering
forcibly the stores of Jackson Tiro•+,

Mr. Robert Scott, Seaforth, las dis-
posed of bis seed and feed business to
Mr F. W. Crich, (son of Mrs S. Crich,

known to the farming community of
this district. -
Some necessary repairs and im-
provements are being made to the G.
T. R. station here ; both waiting
rooms are being kalsomined inside,
and in other ways made more com-
fortable for the travelling public.
The C. P. R. announces in our ad-
vertising columns their Harvest Home
excursions to . Manitoba and the
,Northwest. The rates are very rea-
sonable and will doubtless, be taken
advantage of by a great many.
Mrs.Thos. Fair, who has been, an
active member of the W. F. M. S.,
and for several years President of. the
Presbyterian Society, was last Satur-
day presented by some of .her friends
with a certificate of life -membership.
That means that $25 was sent to thet,.
funds of the society. They took, t . ik'
way of expressing their appre , ,iron
of her many services in this. cirinec-
tion, knowing that Witb;lier deep
interest in the work, sh44vould ap-
preciate it better .tkilrif if the same
value had been,,giVeen her in some
other form.
The Ontario St. Methodist Church
Quarterly Board held its first meet-
ingFy'•, this year on Mcttidayevening.
T1s': oard was well represented. The
Pastor's salary wasfixed at $900, be-
ing $50 in advance of last years, and
he was given three. week's leave of
absence to take a well earned rest:
Mr John Govett was selected as re-
presentative fdr the Financial Dis-
trict meeting. The affairs of the
church are in an excellent condition
and a year of prosperity is looked tor.
Friend Edge. well deserves the con-
fidence of his board,and the members
by thus honoring their pastor, honor
.themselves.
LAYING CORNER STONE.—In the
case of the new Baptist church, of
town, the laying the corner stone was
not observed with quite as much
eeremony as is customary, but we
suppose it was just as "well and truly
laid." On Monday evenings the trus-
tees of the church laid the stone, in•
side of which were copies of the local
papers, the church papers, the names
of all public officials, ministers, the
trustees of the several Educational
Institutions, etc., etc. 'pie church is
being pushed rapidly forward to com-
pletion, and will shortly be opened
for worship.
Mr A. J. Holloway has rented the

Mr McLean, the poi 1 r Reeve.of
Tuckersmith, was a cl tler at the NEW
ERA office on Saturday. He was not
so sanguine of khe good. crops -antici-
pated as mai r, others, and thought
the farmer. would have to be satisfied
with a.•;iiltbch smaller yield than that
gegefally counted upon. -
,y,42 A1l the pianos which were on ex-
^hibition iu the ware room of the
Oakes Organ Co. have been sold. and
