SOUTH HURON FARMERS INSTI- TUTE.—A meeting of this Institute will be held in the tovinship hall, Varna, on the 7th and 8th March, commencing at 10 a. m. Several ex- cellent papers will be read, and ad- dresses delivered by prominent farm- ers, and the meeting should be largely atteg.' d by the farmers. °HARD TIMES.—Mr Robt. Sturgeon, of Mugford, Dak., formerly or Clin- ton, remitting to this' of lee, says :— "I hoped to send more, but crops have been a failure liere for ,the past two years, and money is sears'." Mr Thos. Morrigh, late of Colborne, writes :—"I bad no crops this year ; I put in 125 acres of crop, and it fail- ed on account of the drouth." ,WE CANNOT Go.—The NEW ERA acknowledges an invitation to attend ' the wedding of Mr Jas. Irving, of Los Angelos, Cal., (son of Mr John Irving town) which takes place at Ventura, -Cal,, on the 26th inst. We are sorry that we cannot attend, but Jim's old aequai .tances join us in wishing him abundance of prosperity and happi- ness. . ATHLETIC CONCERT.—The concert in Cooper's Hall, on Thursday even- --ing last, by the Athletic- Ates, efktiettr Wes a success in every way, and a / splendid program was rendered. The is::. - Association •has visored to its new building, where they have more room, and are prep red to take 20 more members. That Association will dis- cuss at its next meeting about getting up the sports for the 24% of May. BOOMERS—Jackson Bros., Clothiers, of this town, who do li large and suc- cessful outside trade, now find it ne- cessary to send a representative to Toronto once a month to take orders, and are doing a big trade in that city. Cheaper labor and living here give them a chance to work up a big trade there, besides they are widely known as hi b class Merchant Tailors. They ke larger staff of employers than any place in the city. THANKS, ALL THE .SAME.—A sub- scriber in Elgin county• heaps it on. in this fashion :—"I wish I could tell you how much we appreciate the NEW ERA; we look for it every week as we would for an old friend, tried and true. You have certainly made it a great success, notwithstanding the vigorous competition on every hand. These are only kind words, and they are well deserved." UNDER TREATMENT. — Mr Mus- grove, the Conservative candidate for - the East Riding of Huron, is now in Toronto, where he is undergoing treatment for an affection of the throat that threatens to result seriously. It is not only feared by his friends that he will be unable to make the cam- paign, put they are somewhat afraid of the ultimate result of his; ailment. We are sure that even his opponents will be sorry to hear of his sufferings and hope fcr his recovery. NOT SO BAD YET. —From a former Huronite, W. H. Wallace, at Biiton, Dak., we have received a printed report showing that the destitution and suffering in parts of Dakota is not as bad as represented. The report admits that there is des- titution and that some people require assistance, but claims that the eastern press has exaggerated the true state of affairs. None will be more pleased to know this than the many Cana- dians who have friends in the suffer- ing State. HEAVY DAMAGES.—A case that has not yet been made public, but which is expected to come up at the Spring Assizes, is that of Dancey vs the Grand Trunk Railway. He was travelling from Point Edward to Goderich. The conductor claims to have twice notified him to change cars at Lucan crossing and come up the L. H. & B., but Dancey insisted on going around by Stratford. This being a longer route than bis ticket called for he was notified that he 'must pay the extra fare or be put A . /' off. He got off, but subsequently got on again and paid the difference in the fare, He nows claims $10,000 damages. CHARITY CONCERT.—A monster r local concert will be given, in the Town Hall, on the 25th inst., at which all our local performers have kindly consented to give their ser- vices and do their utmost to make it the biggest local concert yet given in Clinton. The newest and latest mu- sic will be rendered, and special mu- sic is now being rehearsed for the occasion. The proceeds will be de- voted, by a special committee ap- pointed on that evening, to charity purposes of our town. The expenses are very light, so that besides getting full valuetor the price of admission, every ce given goes for a grand object. See programs for full par - titulars. Everybody come and hell, to snake this concert a big success. ;,(Mliiilssron only 15 cents. 60, 1Goeai idle relit Ghllmtep, 1 100148,--•QountyTreaaprer Xobuei ,......_..,.... was In taWn on Z4foitda ; NEW RISA.

The "Musical Herald" is the name of a new musical journal .that comes to hand this week, published by Mr F. S. Coates, in Toronto. There is room for a good journal of this kfhd in Canada, and will no doubt receive a liberal support from musicians. Mr W. H. Hine, who for several years has occupied the position of ook'keeper for Mr S. Davis, -and - lately with Davis & Roland, has been compelled, ow ng to ill health, to give up his position, which will hereafter be filled by Master John Davis. The Chicago British - American thus refers to a former Clintonian :— Percy McKid, formerly of Brantford, Ont., was in the city this week. He left Wednesday to join a company in Wisconsin, in which be takes the leading part. Percy has become quite a "villain" in the play. On Sunday evening of last weak, Mrs J. J. Taylor, of Clinton, met with a serious accident at Blyth, when about to return home. When coming out of the house ahe slipped off the door steps and fractured the bone of one thigh which will confine the lady to the house for some time.

After de- votional exercises, conducted by the Rev. A. Stewart, Mr Turnbull was el- ected chairman, and Mr Coats, Secre- tary. Reports were then presented from the Trustees, the Session, Sab. School, Y.. P. C. Association, Women's For- eign Mission Society and Mission Band, from which we extract the following particulars that may be of interest to the public. The total receipts from all sources were 83720.87, the principal items of which were pew rent, $937; or- dinary collections, 8680.14; proceeds of anniversary, $254.98; missionary and benevolent purposes, 81123.89. The total expenditure was 83437.22, leaving a balance of 8283.65 The report from the session referred to the growing interest in the work of the church, and the large attendance upon the services, the large contribu- tions to missionary and other schemes, all which was taken to prove encourag- ing spiritual growth. The Sabbath School bad a most pros- perous year, as shown by an. increased average attendance of 50. the average being 350, that of the previous year 319. Seven of the scholars submit themselves for examination under the scheme for Higher Religious Instruction. There was an improvement on the part of many scholars in the particular of home preparation of the lesson, but there was ample room for more; the Sabbath School at Baird's School, Stanley, where a large number of per- sons belonging to the congregation at- tended, was also referred to. The Trustees, in their report, recom- mended that owing to the many ap- plications for additional seats, they be authorized to take the necessary steps to provide for the building of a gallery according to a draft plan submitted to the meeting. The authority asked was granted. Messrs. McMurchie, McKenzie and McEwen retiring trustees, were reap- pointed for another term. The resig- nation of Mr Menzies as trustee which • bad been handed in, was accepted and Mr Alex. Ewing was elected to serve for his unexpired term. Messrs. Mal- loch and J. Scott were re -appointed auditors for the ensuing year. We believe it is the intention of the trus- tees to take immediate Steps towards the proposed addition to the seating capacity of the church. ARRESTED—Mr R. M. Racey, late of this town, was last week arrested at Genera, Ohio, on a charge of for- gery, preferred by George Hanley, of Clinton, who claims that he forged the cancellation of la mortgage given March 4th 1881, to Hanley by George Thompson. The mortgage was for $3,000, and it was cancelled on March 21st, 1886. Racey was released on $1,000 bail and remanded till Thurs- day. A Cleveland paperspteaking of the arrest says;—"White waiting ft his bondsman, he denied in vigorous terms that he ivas guilty of the crime charged. He said the mortgage was paid to him, and he sent a check to Hen'ey for the full amount it call- ed tor and further, that he wrote no endorsement on the mortgage at all." What will be the result remains to be seen, but the general impression here is adverse. In this connection we might say, n'e are informed that Mrs Racey and family, who are still here, have been subject to persistent espion- age and annoyance since Mr Racey;s+ departure. If this be trite it is no credit to the parties concerned, and public opinion is decidedly against such a practice. 9', EIGHS! ERY CHEAP Clearing Having purchased the Stock of Messrs Geo. E.
