DIVISION COURT. — Judge Doyle presided at the sittings of this court, ,i : on Saturday last, and disposed of several cases, only one of which was ' of any real importance, that being a garnishee suit in which Mr Herbison was deft. After the session was over . •,tthe judge stated to the NEW ERA that the town would have to provide better accommodation for the court, as the room was altogether too small, and when filled by spectators, as it ': always is on court day, the air was 'stifling and oppressive, notwithstand- ;, ;ingall efforts to purify it. He thought r ' the town hall should be used for court purposes in future. As TFE YEARS ROLL BY.—Last Friday Mr Geo. Baird, of S.S. Na 1, Stanley, re -opened school and enter- ed upon his 29th year in the same section. We doubt if another school in Canada can show a similar record, for it has been one continued series of progressions, many of his scholars occupying some of the best positions in the land to -day. Mr Baird has not only endeavored to train the pu- pil'in all the branches of education, ,bustis life has been an example that any one could follow and not go very far astray. We congratulate the sec- tion on retaining so useful a man in its midst, and we also congratulate -11iIr Baird on the fact that his life and labors have by no means been in vain. TOWN COUNCIL —The regular meeting was held on Monday night. The chairman of the street committee stated that arrangements had been ttbade to remove the fence north of e town if necessary for the winter months. The following accounts were ordered to be• paid ;—T. Cottle, work, $4.38 ; G. Tedford for repairs to fur- nace &c., $18.40; S. Davis, sundries, $18.50; John Tedford, work, $3.45; {4 "s q,,J. Jackaon, rent ot office, $9; N. Rob- son, Treasurer,$100 ; postage and ',„' ” stationery, $8.50 ; J. L. Hearn rent k -'-o--. of house for Miss White, $15 ; W. Coats, election expenses, $32. The • receipts of the month were:—rent of office and hall, $10; weigh scales,$15.- i' 50. A vote of thankswas unanimous- ly passed to the mayor for the im- partial manner in which he has conducted the business of the town during the past year. The members of the Council for 1890 will meet on the morning of the 20th and then adjourn until the evening. STILL CLIMBING—Mr C. J. Sheehy, of Detroit, well known here, has just sen appointed District Passenger jt gent of the Canadian Pacific Rail- way. •Mr Sheehy's territory will in- clude Michigan and probably part of Ohio. On May 1, 1854, Mr Sheehy commenced his railroad career in the employ of the contractors who built ,the Northern Road between Toronto and Collingwood. When that road *at completed Mr Sheehy took a po- sition on it as brakeman, Mr Dan. ' Holmes at that time being his mate; ss.:and Japer occupied in turn the posi- ns of baggageman and conductor. e was then appointed travelling fiesenger agent of the Collingwood rhe, a line of steamers running be- tween Collingwpod and Chicago, which position he held until 1865, when he went to Detroit as travelling agent of the Michigan .Southern. He has held different positions there, being latterly northern agent for the Wabash. SUPPER BY THE MAYOR.—Mr. Doherty signalized his elevation to the Mayoralty, by a new departure on Tuesday evening, he entertaining and right royally, over one hundred • ..and fifty of his friends to an oyster .;supper at his own house, among those present being fteveral ex -Mayors, (Mr Whitehead being detained at home by illness) the Reeve and Deputy, Mr Brewer, and many others of note.- -Mr Manning was in the chair, and after a most bountiful repast had been partaken of, and the health of the Queen drank, the chairman proposed that of "Mayor Dohorty and ex - Mayors Searle, Forrester and Wil -- llama." Short and happy speeches were made by each of the gentlemen named, Mayor Doherty expressing his appreciation of the honor conferred upon him, and hie determination to labor for the progress of the town, so- liciting,their help and encouragement d•assuring them ,of his desire to .rol�ote the interests of all. The chairman followed with a few brief rentar'ks. The band and orchestra were present, and while the inner wants of the multitude were being supplied, furnished excellent music, which, with vocal music rendered by ,others, and the affability of the host, combined to make the occasion one of (rutin Social enjoyment. It was an early -hour when the gathering broke up, the one thought uppermost in the ininds of all being that if gatherings df this nature were more frequent in public life, Mitch of the nnpfeasant- +h�+ at�fwould be removed, !. having ti beitipos Pieter. "oa:z.>sotaxs-• .All .the teachers, in - chiding the new ogee, Mr Morrow and Mia': Hume, were in their places on Tuesday, when the ()Collegiate opened with a large attendance of pupils. .Another event which has been look- ed forward to for some time, takes. place an the 22nd of this month, when Clinton loses a highly esteemed young lad7; It is not 3vrxghe tbatshe should ret;'.:' in Uncle am'a uomalnst how. ever. A^Z,'LnENT.—Mr Thomas Stevenson) met with a painfte accident a few days since whereby the fingers of one bend were badly crushed, one bursting. As be was wheeling a loaded barrow it fell and caught his hand resulting as stated. A CHANOE.—The familiar form and features of conductor John Bailey, of the London, Huron & Bruce, will be missed hereafter, he having retired from active work. His place has been taken by Conductor Snyder, a gentleman known as somewhat of an evangelist. STOCK SHIPMENT. --On Monday last Mr Eli Bateman shipped from this place, for bis farm in Indiana, ;several horses, &c., among them be- ing a fine stallion, purchased from Mr John McMillan, M. P. Hullett, and a thoro-bred Durham bull, bought from Snell Bros., of Hullett, for a high price. GOT HURT.—Quite a breeze is said to have occured at the Railway Hotel. one afternoon last week. A certain woman, who is alleged to have an un- desirable record, was ejected from the premises, when she sent her arm through a pane of glass, getting cut severely. A friend dressed the in- jured limb for her. A BOARD OF TRADE.—Mr A. H. Manning has, in response to the re- quest to a number of citizens, called a meeting to be held at the Council chamber to night, Friday, for the for- mation of a Board of Trade, or other organizations that will further the business interests of the town. Let every business man be present. ANOTHER INDUSTRY — Mr James Steep has purchased machinery and commenced packing pork in the pre- mises on Albert Street, adjoining W. Young's bakery. As yet he is work- ing on a Limited scale, but he intends to branch out and will engage exten- sively in this business. Itis an in- dustry there is a capital opening for here, and we have no doubt of its suc- cess when pushed, as it will be. DEATH—After a short illness Mr. Joseph Rattenbury, sr., died yester- day morning, at the age of 70 years and 11 months. He is the last of the four brothers whose names are house- hold words in the County of Huron. Most of his life was spent in the min- ing camps of Australia and Montana, although he has lived here for several years; he was as kind hearted a man as one wished to find, though a min- er's life had left its impress on him. He never married. PRESENTATION.—A correspondent sends the following :—Mrs Morrow, who is about to leave her residence on the llth concession, Wawanosh, to reside in the town of Clinton, was agreeably surprised on Tuesday even- ing, December 31st, by her Sunday school scholars, who presented her with a well worded address and a beautiful hanging lamp. Mrs Morrow has always been an earnest Christian worker, and her services will be much missed in thia community, and especially in the Sabbath school, and although we regret being separated from her society, we know that others will be blessed by her kind words and cheerful bearing. SCHOOL MATTERS. —The Public school re -opened on Tuesday ; the .changes in the staff are that Miss Struthers and Miss Taylor replace Miss Williams and Miss Plummer, both of whom will attend the Normal in a few days. Miss Cruickshank, who has been teaching away from town, will also attend the Normal. Miss Taylor is laid up by a gathered hand and will take her place in a few days. At the recent Entrance exam- ination, 12 pupils from Clinton wrote ,and they all passed; in July 22 pass- ed, making 34 for the year, the high - eat in the history of the school. This is a record of which the Principal and all concerned may justly feel proud. The average attendance at the school for December was 456, being an in- crease of 39 over the previous year. AN OLD DEBT. — The following letter speaks for itself, and we oan only add that we wish the consciences of some whose indebtedness is not so far back would trouble them also :— DEAR Stn,—Enclosed you will find the sum of three dollars, which I oWe you. I took your paper, the Clinton NEW ERA, till the year 1876 or '77; the price' of the paper was $1.50 per annum at that time. The last two years were not paid for; I neglected to pay for them it the time when it should have been done, and the conse- quence was they never were paid for. I never forgot it, and since the Lord has saved my soul, he showed me I must owe no man anything. I hope you will forgive the for having kept you out of your own so long, and al- though I am not in very good cir- cumstances, I am willing to pay you interest, if you will let me know what it will be."
