SOCIETIES.—Clinton has two Mas- onic lodges, and one each of the fol- lowing:—Oddfellows, Workman, Sons of England, Canadian Order ot Home Circles and Sons of Rest. FINED.—On information laid by Inspector Paisley, Mr Thos Crews, of Benmiller, appeared before Messrs McGarva and Steep, on Monday, charged with a violation of the Crooks Art. The charge being sustained a fine of $20 was imposed. FARM RENTED —A couple of weeks since Mr G. M. Scott, of Brucefield, advertised a farm in Tuckeremith, on the 3rd con., to rent, and almost im- mediately be had it rented to Messrs. D. and L. Strong, who take it for a term of years at a good rental. Mr Scott must be a good landlord, for he has a farm on the Bayfield Road, Stanley, that has been continuously rented to Mr John Cameron for 14 years, and this person's lease having expired, he made a five year's renewal this week. It is not often that a tenant remains cn one place so long. ACROSS THE LINES.—Mr J. M. Hunter, late of Clinton Collegiate Institute, writes as follows from Sterl- ing, Mich., where he is now located: Sterling is a place about one-third as large as Clinton, situated on the Michigan Central, in the centre of an excellent farming district, about 32 miles north of Bay City. As soon as I can get affairs and information, I will try to write you something that may prove interesting to you and your readers, especially about education, which is carried on through much different lines than in Canada. I wrote here for a First, 'out the Board wouldn't grant it, the objection being that I had not taught in this country, and they knew not whether I would make a successful teacher here or not. They—as they have no model schools for practical work—base their exami- nation on your knowledge of subjects assigned, and what they know of your teaching ability. LEAVING TOWN.—Messrs. J. C. and P. Cole, both long connected with the establishment of R. Coats & Son, have decided to leave town. hav- ing rented a vacant store in Flint, Mich., where they purpose going into the tailoring and furnishing business. "Josh," as he is familiarly known, has been a somewhat prominent figure in town !n various ways, for years past. In musical circles he has always taken an active part, there be- ing few local entertainments in which he had not a band. In church circles he was equally zealous, being one of the leading supporters of the Baptist Church, and an officer therein as also in the Sabbath school, and this denomination, never strong here num- erically, will seriously miss the re- moval of these persons, Mr 1'. Cole' has not been prominent in public affairs, haying confined himself ex- I elusively to his business. As citizens both have the respect and esteem of there fellows, and carry with them in their new sphere, the best wishes for their future prosperity. ENFORCEMENT OF THE LIQUOR Lew.—Hon J. M. Gibson, Provincial taecretary, has issued a circular to the license inspectors of the Province calling their attention to the necess- ity of vigilantly enforcing the pro- visions of the Liquor Law, and stating that the failure to enforce the Satur- day night and Sunday clauses will be looked upon as demanding the retire. ment of the Inspector, who is thus .filling short of his duty. The Inepec- tor"e are still further advised to give peremptory notice to licensees that strict Compliance with the law as to prohibited hours will be insisted on. Persistent law breaking, the Provin- cial Secretary says, must be met by vigorous prosecution, and assistance ' will always be afforded them, when needed, by the department. It la ex- pected that no pains will be spared by the Inspectors in searching for and stamping out cases of unlicensed Belling. In this task, as well as in the endeavor to keep the selling of liquor within the long hours permit- ted by law, the inspector can reason- ably ask for the assistance of all law- abiding dealers as well as the co-opera- tion of the police and magistrates of the Province. Mr Paisley, Inspector for WeetHuron, claims to be already rigid in enforcing the law, and that there is no latitude allowed in his In- spectorate. There certainly does not seem to be any ground for complaint 'except on the ground that some young men sometimes get liquor on Sundays, at least they are seen under its influ- ence on that day. Qvlow The Other day wb11e Bloom Oiirrie, and Perdue were threshing at the farm of Mr Jos. Crich, 'r'ueker,mith, they threshed 75 bushels of peas in 75 minutes. This quick work was dune with a Monarch Thresher. ONE OPINIQ .—"If you were to take away the Cowboys, Manitoba exhibit and fruit and flowers from the Goderich Show, there would be pre- cious little left," was the remark of a pereoa who bad been up to the North- western fair. He may have been bard to please,but he was certainly a per - eon capale of passing judgment. Y. P. C. E. SovIETY.—The Young People of the Ontario St. Methodist Church have organized for the winter. The following officers were elected:— Preeident, J. A. Giffin, B. A.; let. Vine President, Wm. Kay; 2nd Vice President, Miss Nellie Walker, Sec., Miss Libbie Gibbinge; Treas., Amy Beesley. A fine program has been drafted for the coming meetings. SHARPERS,—On Wednesday four fakirs who had been doing the Gode- rich Fair, laid off here on the way to London. They fell in with a young man who was visiting in town, and won $10 from him on the old padlock swindle,that is having a lock that can be secured by a spring. The victim informed Constable Wheatley, who found the men ready to board the London train. They were glad to refund the $10 and get away without other punishment. THE LEADING SHOW—BE SURE TO Go.—These dates bear in mind, Oct , 1-2 8, for the Huron Central Fair held on them it will be, preparations very great and arrangements very fine are being made by all to insure a first class time. The town of Clinton, too, where the show is to be held, for beauty and location, surely cannot be excelled. t -o come and see the show, bear the dates again in view, bring all your friends along;and thus make them happy too. ANIMALS ASTRAY.—When a man advertises that a stray animal is on his premises, it generally happens that half a dozen people turn up to know if it belongs to them. This shows that at this time of the year numbers of animals are astray, but some men will harbor an animal for months before they will dosimplejus- ti•ce to the unknown owner, by adver- tising it. Farmers could save each other a world of worry and lose by be- ing a little more thoughtful in this respect. An advertisment in the NEW ERA generally accomplishes the desired object.- CLINTON bject.Cr.INTON MARKET. --This is what a farmer who resides quite a distance from Clinton said on Wednesday :— "I have marketed grain in all the important places in this county dur- ing my residence in it, but there is not a place where I can do as well or receive as good satisfaction as 1 can in Clinton in selline my grain. I frequently receiva a higher price here than I can elsewhere, and as for barley, Clinton is the only market that is worth anything at all. I like Clinton market, and don't hesitate to say so." The name of this farmer can be given if necessary. JusT So.—Summer is practically over. The civic holiday is a thing of the past, and those who have been rusticating at outside resorts are re- turning to their homes. The Agri- cultural Exhibitions are upon us, and it will seem as but to -morrow when the leaves will change their coloring. Adieu to summer with its pleasant memories of picnics -and outings and hail to autumn with its glories of crim- son and gold—when the country cou- sin gets even with the city relation who has been visiting with him half the summer. WHAT BECAME OF IT.—Shortly be• fore his death in Denver, Mr Fred Thompson, (late of Hullett) wrote home that he had $400 in a bank and would soon have some more. He died before the brother who left here to attend him reached there, and left no communication. We are inform- ed that the brother made inquiries concerning the money, but could get no trace of it whatever, and a valu- able watch and chain he was known to possess, had also disappeared. The body, which arrived here last Thursday, was well preserved, and looked very natural and life -like, and had been laid out with the greatest care and taste. FITS Hr u EXACTLY.—A Grey cor- respondent of the Expositor has this to say of a Clintonian:—Mr Robb, the new School Inspector, paid a visit to the school in Section No. 8, on Fri- day of last week, and expressed him- self as being satisfied with the condi- tion of the school. He is a man emi- nently fitted in many respects for discharging the duties devolving upon him. In tbia his first visit to the schools in his inspectorate, his principal aim is to get thoroughly ac- quainted with the teachers and pup- ils, and their work, in which he takes great interest. He is a noble scholar and bids fair, with his polite and pleasant manner, to become a very popular and efficient school officer." CLINTON' COLLEOIATE.—The Kin- cardine Reporter of the 11th Sept. takes exception to the University and 1st C. results for Clinton Collegiate Institute. as given in our issue of two weeks ago. Had the Kincardine paper in its issue of three weeks ago given the full year's work (while we cannot see after all why Clinton should have been dragged into the comparison) no statement of the University and let C. work for the year would have been given by ue. We have just to say in reply to the Reporter that our first statement is perfectly accurate as far as it goes. According to the University rules in these matters we can, if we choose, claim five first year men and five Junior Matriculants. This would make, not eleven, but thirteen in all, and five honors instead of four, as the other first year man took second class honors in Classics. We are exceed- ingly sorry that we were not aware that MrMurray had taken second clave honors in Classics and we now make the amende honorable. Neither Kin- cardine nor Clinton needs to resort to unfair statements to keep up the re- putation of the respective schools, as both have, under the circumstancfs, done very fair work. The Univer- sity and lit C. work would then stand' Clinton thirteen, Kincardine one; and honors: Clinton five,Kincar- dine one. We would say in the language of the Patriarch, 'Let there be no strife between UR for we are brethren." There is room enough fc r both, A The &&uroii Central Active Preparations for the Coining Fair - Great Attractions Arranged for. Every day there is a manifest in - Creased interest in the coming fair, to be held on the let, 2nd and 8rd of October, and from present indica- tiont it will greatly surpass the big fair of last year. Applications for prize lists have come in from all over the county, and already a large num- ber of entries have been made. The Volunteers and Gun Club are arrang- ing ing for the Sham Battle, on a much larger scale than ever, and this event will be well worth seeing. The dif- ferent Fire Companies are nightly practising for their races in the run- ning of the second day; Chief Wheat- ley's company are full of the race, and if they don't make big time it will not be Joe's fault. Mr Lough and Miss Struthers, of the Model School, have the boys and girls under instruction for the competition in Drill and Calisthenics, which will be a very interesting part of the pro- gram. Tim Carbert, captain of the Hullett team for the Tug of War, bas his side complete, and Capt. John Elliott, of the Goderich township team, is at work filling up his team to do battle. Every body connected with the Association are now full of work, and with good weather visitors may expect to see a magnificent exhibition. NOTES.—A meeting of the Public School Board was held on Tuesday evening, but beyond passing accounts no business of interest was transacted. Mr Nelson Carson, of Manitoba, is down on a visit. Mies S. Malloy,after spending a few weeks visiting her re- lations here, bas returned to Buffalo. Deputy Reeve Manning, and Town Clerk Coats, are among those who are visiting Toronto.

A large number from Clinton and locality are taking in the Industrial at Toronto; a large number will take in the Western at London. Grain is coming to Clin- ton market in fairly large quantities for the busy season. H M VanEvery, tee well known excursion agent, ad- vertises a cheap trip to New York on the 27th of Sept. Mr Jos. Chidley has been laid up with an attack of sciatica,but is able to be around again with the help of a cane. The Sea - forth Sun pays a high compliment to a former Clintonian when it says:— "The town band has made such pro- gress under the leadership of Mr C. Stewart that they now rank among the first-class bands in the Domin- ion. Town Clerk Coats informs us that no appeals have been entered against the Voter's list for the town for this year. We understand that Miss Grace Boles will shortly leave for Alilbank, where she has secured a good position. A handsome up- right piano, manufactured by WDoh- erty & Co., at their piano factory in Toronto, now adorns the house of Mr 11 B Chant; in style and work- manship it does not seem possible to surpass it. 'Mrs H. B. Proudfoot, of Toronto, is visiting here. Mr 5. Fitzsimons, who has been keeping his room; is able to drive out. Mr Cook, dentist, now wears a broad par- ental smile. Mrs H. B. Chant, who has been away for a couple of months returned to town. Mrs H. Foster has also returned:from a lengthened holi- day trip. Mr John Scott, who boards at Bell's Hotel, won $1000 on the St. Leger Races, the other day. We have a report of Goderich Fair, held this week, but cannot possibly find room for it in this issue.

Edge will be pleased to know that Mrs Edge, who has been dangerous- ly ill for a few days, is now out of danger. The Exeter Advocate says.—The anniversary services on Sunday last in the Trivitt Memorial church were of a moat interesting character. The Rev Rural Dean Craig, of Clinton, preached in the morning and evening to a deeply interested congregation. In his address in the afternoon to the Sunday school on the subject "Mem- bers of Christ" he applied in a clear and effective manner Ephesians 5, 30, making the truth interesting to the youngest child. MISSIONARY TEs.—The Ratten bury street Methodist church auxili- ary of the W FMS gave a tea last Tuesday evening, in the lecture room of the church, at which a goodly number were present, there was also a nice representation from sister soc- ieties. Rev Mr Shilton performed the duties of chairman in an agreeable manner. The program was compos- ed of a reading by Mrs R. ,'twin, Mrs Sibley gave a paper on "Mission Work in India," Mrs Foster read a leaflet on, "the Women's Mission Work in Japan," Mrs George Doh erty also gava a reading; Duets were sung by Misses'.and G.
