;OUR :SHADE TREES.
To the Editor of the Clinton New Era.
DEAR Sift,—Our shade trees can
now be seen at their best, "with their
full foliage, and notice should be
taken of the improved condition of
those trees which are planted at pro-
per distances apart, which cannot be
seen in the winter, when the leaves
are off the tree. If, in the past, the
trees had been planted and kept in
order by the council, tbey would have
been at regular distances, and at
• proper heights, The irregular ap-
pearance of the self -grown trees on
the country roadsides might be im-
proved, if the farmers would thin
them out where they are growing in
clusters, leaving the balance as near
equal distances apart as possible, and
cut the lower branches off high
enough ' to allow the cattle to stand
under for shade,, and also cut away
•the scrub and rubbish, doing away
'with the present slovenly appearance.
Will some one please give their views
n these thoughts. • W. C. SEARLE.

LACROSSE.
A very close and• interesting game
of.lacros_ae was played_here, on Friday
fait, in the Agri ii1turaI Park, Be-
tween the Stratfords, of Stratford,
and the Dauntless, of Clinton, result-
ing in a score of 4 to 1 for the home
team, being the second game of the
series. Time was called at 2:24, and
after the usual remarks of the referee
the ball was faced. After some bril-
liant playing on both sides, Stratford
was successful in scoring the filet
goat in eight minutes. The game
now took a turn, Clinton seizing the
rubber. Fair made a very nice tip to
Gibbings, and he in return tipped to
Yellowiees,who did some very difficult
work, and was successful in scoring
the first goal. for the Dauntless, in•
five minutes. After a few minutes'
rest the centre, Cantelon, Read and
Kennedy, did some very neat work,
passing the ball to A, May,who made
the shot of the day, thus scoring an.
other goal for the,Dauntless, in six
minutes. Play was again 'resumed,
the ball travelling up and down the
field at a rapid pace, when a scuffle
took place in front of the Dauntless
goal, and Stratford can1e very near
scoring, when W. Robertson seised
the ball and made a throw on Strat-
ford's goal. It then got in the hands
of the home combination, and was
sent through the flags by N. Yellow -
lees, counting again for the home
team; time, 12 minutes. Time was
again called, and the defence field,
Kerr, Spalding and Morrish, display-
ed some of the finest playing of the
day. The ball being seized by Kerr,
a drop was made on Stratford goal, a
lively scuffie;ensuing, and it was put
through by May, thus scoring again
for the Dauntless, in nine minutes.
Stratford now went to work with
great vigor, and several good shots
were made on Clinton goal, but our
little goal keeper, Harvey Read, was
at his poet and did some excellent
work. Among the noted players
from Stratford were Neil, McDougall,
Larkworthy, Downs and McLeod.
Very few of the citizens were oue to ,
witness one of the finest exhibition&
of lacrosse ever given in1the town, the
good old national game being played
with great scientific power. Our
next Association match is on July
10th, which is to be one of the great-
est of the season. The following

MISTAKEN FOR THE FIRE
ALARM.
Now hurry, pray, don't laugh at me,
But when you gee so late,
I wish you would be careful dear
To never slam the gate.
For Misses listens every night,
And him Ido so hate '
To tell next day at what o'clock
They heard you"slam the gate.
He said that he would pad the posts,
And fit it i'or my sake: •
But not a bit he really cares—
Oh, please don't slam the gate,,,
When I converse with other friends,
I make the sad mistake,
And call them by your cherished name:
Now pray, don't slam the gate.
Twas nearly ten last night, you know;
But now 'tis very late.
We've,talked about so many things—
Oh do not slam the gate.
Last week the neighbors hearing it,
And fearing fires of late;
Ont of their beds they sprang in time
To see you slam the gate.
For every word of it is true,
I wish that they could wait;
To canvas our affairs—until—
Well 'pray, don't slam the gate.
At least "dot now, but by and by, } '
When in "our home" I wait
Your coming; I shall always like
To hear you slam the gate.

To the Editor of the Clinton New Era
CROSSW ELL, MICH , June 20, '91
DEAR SIR,—Not having seen a Ca-
nadian paper since I left Cannuck, I
take the liberty to write a few lines.
I am in wise I always was informed
was a small one-horse affair of a
town. It is not large, I will admit,
but people around Clinton have an
idea that that place is lively, and so
it is, but this place, population com-
pared, knocks Clinton ice cold. We
have a population here of about one
thousand, and a livelier small town I
have never seen. Building operations
are very brisk; there are about a dozen
dwelling houses being erected, and a
brick two storey flax mill, 40x60,with
engine room 20x30, and stone foun-
dation five feet deep, and a flax barn
62x112, this is expected to be com-
pleted by the let of August. " There
is a brick yard which turns out about
15,000 brick per day; two planing
mills, one of which does a business of
about $200,000 a year; I have not as
yet learned the capacity of the other.
We have a cheese and butter factory,
doinlz an extensive trade; several very
fine dry goods honsee, groceries, shoe
shops, harness shops, tinsmiths, three
hardware stores, three agricultural
implement shops, all doing a good
trade; two jewellery stores, two bar-
ber shops, two tailor shops, three
churches, Methodist, Presbyterian,
and Catholic, and three blacksmith
shops. There are eight railroad
trains a day, four express and four
freight. We have stage connection
with Lexington three times a.day,
morning, noon an night. This is the
central shipping and distributing
point between Port Huron and Sand
Beach, which is about 50 miles north
of here, and which, I am told, is an-
other go-ahead place. There were
100,000 brick shipped from here for
that place last week, for one building.
I have completed one'dwelling 18x30
ready for the lathers, and ant now
working in Mr Ward's planing mill,
where the men are so close together
that one can hardly turn a 12 ft board.
I have a good job turning out window
and door frames. They pay men
here according to their working abili-
ties, a fast man gets morn than a if-I-
don't-get•there tto-day.I-will-to-mor-
row man. Good men need not lie
idle one hour here, and as far as I
have enquired I believe a person can
lite oheitper here than in Canada;
good sugar, 25 ibe for $1. O. B.
A deputation of New Brunswick Con-
servatives waited on Minister Foster
and urged the placing of sugar on the
free list, owing to the action of the U.

tend to take off the duty and the rev-
enue of two add a half millions there"
