CoRaECT.—A correspondent thinks
we were• wrong in stating that Mrs
Thompson had gone to Michigan to
reside, claiming that she went to Buf-
falo, to reside with her husband there.
From the tact that she was ticketed
from Clinton to a point in Michigan,
her baggage checked to the same
place, met in l'ort Huron and accom-
panied to her destination by Mr
Thompson,andhas since been heard
from at that place, we think., that we
were perfectly correct in stating that

hie old friends in this neighborhood

good work where he is stationed.
Rev W. McDona h,who was stump-
ing for the Third Party candidate in

long."

SEPARATE SCHool.;i.—Anex-Clin-
tonian in Manitoba writes to a friend
here :—The Separate School Question
is a burning one here. There is no
doubt but that Separate Schools will
be abolished, and the difficulty will
be to agree on a basis on which to
establish provincial schools. One of
the main hindrances comes from
Protestant clergymen. They—many
of them—want Separate Schools in
reality, though not in name. In
other words, they want religious
teaching, and In my humble opinion
that means Separate Schools.
STOCK SAtr.--Mr James Snell, of
Ilullett, last week sold to Mr Apple-
ton 1 lcoat, of Tuckersmith, a thoro-
bred Durham bull calf, aged about 8

ond, and is from the Campbell breed
of imported stock ; it is a splendid
young animal and promises to be ex-
cepponally good wben fully developed

San, --Our read:rs will remember
that two months ago Rev A. H.
Drumm, of Georgetown, (son of Mre
Williams, of this town) went to Den-
ver with his wife, for the benefit of
her health. The doctors there found
that nothing could be done for her,
and advised him to return to Ontario.
-On_Saturday-last---they reaehed-Ghat--
ham, and after seeing that Mrs
Drumm was comfortably settled with
her relations, he came on to Clinton
this week, there apparently being no
immediate danger in the case of his
wife. Wednesday morning he re-
ceived a telegram that she was dying,
and before he could leave town he
received another, stating that she was
dead. His old friends here deeply
sympathize with him in his sad be.
reavement. Mr Williams and wife,
left yesterday to attend the funeral.
An aged lady in town, subject, to
spells of mental aberration, wandered
away from home onenight this week

her friends, until it was learned that

Miss M. Taylor has been engaged

mence in January.

the butchering business of Mr And-
rews, Goderich, and takes possession
thereof next week. Part of hia farm

The License Inspector thinks it
was not fair to Bingle him out as the
-only member of the board that should
follow the Chairman's example, and
get married. He says that if Sloane
will "go and do it" he might do like-
wise. 0n this condition we are afraid
his chances are exceedingly slim.

AN OLD RESIDaitT.—We had a
call on Tuesday from Mrs Geo. Wes-
ton, of Goderich township, who can
lay claim to being one of the very
earliest residents of the township.
She was only 9 years of age when she
came into it, and she has resided on
the same line ever since. As shy ie
now 62 years old, it will be seen that
she bas been a lengthened resident.
Mrs McDougall, of the big hills, is
au older resident than her, but she
has not very much her advantage.
WHAT WE MAY EXPECT.—Muddy
roads and broken weather for a while
Business to boom now. -Bad colds
from wet Leet.—Jack frost to reemne
business at the old stand.—The front
gate to be taken in by the .parlor
stove.—Christmas goode will take a
front seat.—Tea meetings, socials,
echool examinations, surprise parties,
&c,, to become numerous.—Another
wedding or two to finish up the year.

accounts they will not forget the sub-
scription for the New ERA.

Mr Styles gave a few thoughtful re-
marks on "Education," which were
well received. Mr Sloan laughingly
told us about "The Model School,"
and how Mr Lough and his efficient
staff were accomplishing wonderful
things with the future premiers of
Canada. Mr Styles read a humor-
ous letter from a Benedict to a Bach-
elor, after which the editor, Mr Hart-

that was transpiring through the
