WHAT'S IN A NAME?—Thio query finds an illustration showing that there is something in a name when the Mitchell Advertiser mentions that "T. C. Doherty, Mayor, Clin- ton," was a visitor to that town. Tom has hardly reached the Mayor's chair yet, though his brother fills it admirably. SHAMEFUL.—Parties living in the vicinity of the show ground report that on Sunday last a number of men amused themselves for fully an hour, playing baseball or catch; who the parties are we do not know, but these: people feel indignant, and rightly so, that there should be such an open desecration of the Sabbath day. QUITE SATISFACTORY.—The fol- lowing letter explains itself:—MY DEAR HOLMES,—Encloeed please End—renewal for NEW, ERA whose weekly visite are just as acceptable as ever, indeed like a letter from old time friends, wishing you increased prosperity with grace to bear it, I remain yours very sinczrely. HARVESTING AND SEEDING. — There is little or no grain out in this neighborhood, the harvest hav- ing been got through in pretty good order. Fall wheat having turned out so well generally, a large area is being sown this fall. The weather and rains having been exceedingly favorable thereto. Fall wheat should get good root this year. FARMING IN TOWN.—The following the from Wingham Advance, refers to a former Clintonian, and shows that farming operations are still carried on in the limits of that hamlet. Says the Advance;—"A threshing in the town is not a common thing, but it occured on Tuesday, when Mr John Dinsley had his oats threshed. The oats were grown in the town plot,and turned out well. SEPTEMBER IS HERE.—The harvest is past, the summer is ended, the period of the business activities of the autumn has arrived. With a good harvest and good prices, trade this fall should also be good. Our merchants are enterprising; their stocks are becoming complete; there are numerous wants to be supplied. By whom shall these wants be sup- plied. One way of helping your business is by advertising in the New ERA. A GOOD SUBSTITUTE.—The with- drawal of Conductor Bailey from the line of the L. H. & B. has given place to a good substitute in the person of Conductor Snider, well known throughout the Province as some- thing of an evangelist, who now has charge of this run, with his head quarters at Wingham. As Mr Snider still intends to work for a higher Master also,the people of this vicinity are likely to hear from him some time in the future. SHAM BATTE.—On Wednesday ev- ening a meeting of the (Gun Club was held:at the Queen's Hotel to ar- range details for the Sham Battle with the volunteers, on the second night of the Fair. Mr W Foster was elected Field Captain, and a commit- tee composed of Messrs J. E. Black - all, John M'€Murray and W. Foster were appointed to arrange a line of action with Captain and Lients. Combe and Rance of the volunteer Company. Great preparations are being made for this event, and it will be one sof the finest attractions eyer seen at a fair. It will be on a much larger and finer Scale than last year. PROF. THOMSON OF KNOX.—The Globe thus refers to a well-known clergyman of this county:—The presbytery has arranged to meet in the Convocation Hall of Knox Col- lege on October 18, at 7.30 p.m., for the purpose of inducting the Rev R. Y. Thompson, M. A., B. D., as pro- fessor of apologetics and Old Testa- ment literature in Knox College. The Rev Dr. Laing, moderator of Dundas, has consented to address the new professor on that occasion, and the Rev Dr. Parsons has been ap- pointed to address the audience, after which Principal Caven will take the chair and the new professor will de- liver his inaugural address. INOENIOU8.—Last winter when Toronto University was partially des- troyed by fire, Mr Gus. Chant, broth- er of I3. B. Chant, of this town, was a student there. Wishing to have a memento of the occasion he procured a portion of the bell that was injured and forwarded it to his brother here with the request that it should be re- cast and mounted as an ink -stand, to represent the University bell. Th is Mr Chant has sncceeded in doing. The bell is supported on a crack - shaft, with wheel attached, the bear- ings being silver-plated and all mounted on an ebony. stand; all the work, (except casting the bell, which was done at the foundry) was done by Mr Chant, and reflects much credit on his mechanical skill.

A sister of Mrs (Rev) Tovell, St. Catharines, died suddenly on Saturday; deceased was a cousin to Mrs Shilton, of Clinton. Some one must have swung the alma- nac back to July on Sunday, for the weather was a scorcher, the thermometer standing at 90 G in the shade nearly all day; it felt more like 200. Mr John Pinning, who has been working in Chicago for some time, is visiting hie family here. Mr R. Haywood, who has been work- ing at Mimico, is also home. Mr A. MoD. Allan, of the wholesale Export Company, was here last week, o0 business; he speaks very enthusiastic- ally of the prospects of trade with Great Britain, so far as fruit, butter, etc., are concerned. Mr Wilmot left town this week on a visit to Toronto; he intends to bicycle it a portion of the way. A man giving the name of John Mowat was arrested by Constable Wheatley, one day last week. on a charge of being drunk and disorderly, he was brought before Mr McGarva, who imposed a fine of $1 and costs. It is currently reported that a estimable young lady of town will shortly change her place of resi- dence to the Huron road, Tucker - smith; it will be a w(e)ise proceeding. It is also correctly reported that a popular young man of the 2nd of Tuckersmith, has persuaded a very fine young lady of the Huron road to turner name, an event that is expect- ed to take place ere long. Mrs W, Hardy, of the base line, has gone on a visit to friends in Mariposa. Mr Arthur Tyndall was called to Smith's Hill last week, by the serious illness of an uucle. Mr John Govett and wife are taking a month's holiday with friends in Eastern Ontario; they drove down so as to get a better view of the country. Our deyil wants to know why a certain young elan on Mary Street should be par- ticularly happy; we don't know un- less it is because he can af-fordan nice young lady as a companion. The friends of Mr Bruce will be pleased to learn that he is improv- ing, although he- has had a pretty severe illness and it will be some time before he is around; in the meantime his practise is being at- tended to by Mr Richardspn, of Toronto. Mr T. Fair is back in his accustomed place in the post office. Mre Hillen has been visiting her daughter in Goderich. We are pleased to see that Mr D. C.

Have you got the date of the Huron Central Fair down in your note book; it is Oct. 1.2 and 3, don't forget it. Dr. Reeve re- turned on Friday from a visit to Houghton and other places in North- ern Michigan, Mrs Reeve, who had been visiting there, returning with him; the doctor was surprised to find a portion of that State so desolate and barren, no farming operations whatever being carried on, and was equally surprised to find so much money spent in mining and such a good class of buildings as he found at Houghton. Mr Waugh, of Hen - sell, bas taken a position in town. Mr T. Odium, of Brantford, was in town this week; he thiuks of return- ing to the States to reside.

Merchants and others who want printing for the Fall Show will do well to send in their orders early; don't leave the work until the last minute. The many friends of Mr Will King, of Denver, (formerly of this place, and son-in-law of Mr H. Smith) will regret to know that he finds it necessary to return to Oa'tario on account of failing health, and will do so as soon as he can dis- pose of his property. W. Doherty has sold one of his spring Dolts for $200; this is a big price fora colt not three months old; Blood does tell. The Fruit Evaporator will be in working order in a day or two; as the proprietors offer to buy windfalls and culls, none of these are likely to go to waste. Our fruit dealers must have shipped a good many hundred baskets of fruit to Toronto this sea- son, as large quantities have been going by express every morning for some time. We are sorry to hear that the infant child of Mr Squire (now foreman of the Wingham Times) died on Wednesday after about a week's illness. Mr Pen - found has found it necessary to go to Toronto and have an operation per- formed on his eye; we understand that he was at work in a cornfield when a blade of the corn struck his eye, injuring it so much that his trip to Toronto became a necessity. W. H. Cooper has been "painting the town red" with the bills of the Huron Central Fair, which is to be held on Oct. 1, 2 and 3. Say, if you have $1.50 you don't know what to do with, slip in to the New ERA of- fice, and pay your subscription. It is reported that Mr Will H. Webb, of New York, intends to come back and reside in Clinton. It is said that the profits of the New York World last year were $1,200,000; we will be frank enough to admit that ours were not that large. "It gets late early now" remarks the street crank. The other morning at the station, a lady made an unpleasant mistake; she was in the waiting room and as the train came in that she intended to leave by, she grabbed her valise and tried to make her way through a window, mistaking it for a door; her valise got through but she did not. Business is beginning to boom at the Doherty Organ factory and a good fall trade is anticipated, a large ex- hibit of Doherty organs, we mean the unequalled, was sent last week to the Toronto Industrial.

Mise Gowdie, of Paisley, Scotland, is the guest of MisehlcTaggart. MreWill Robertson is visiting friends in Brant- ford. We understand that Mr J. H. Lowery, teacher in Hullett, has been re-engaged for another year; one of the best evidences that a man's ser- vices are appreciated, is the fact that he is re-engaged in the same place; both the school teacher and section are to be congratulated. Mr Wm. Taylor is bound to have "solid com- fort" this winter, as he is having a furnace put in his house; one is also being put in the store of Taylor & Co.
