FIRE.—One night last week a large frame house on the "Stonehouse" farm, now owned by Mr John Stew- art, was diao3vered to be on fire. The inmates were all asleep at the time, but they managed to get out, and saved a part of the contents of the house. The building was an "old • landmark," and was insured tor $500. It is not known how the fire origin- ated, but is supposed to have been from a defective chimney. Mr S. S. Cooper was given the contract for a new house, and already has the frame up. FARMS RENTED.—Mr S Walters, of the Huron road, has rented the farm to 51re 5 Holmes,. for a term of ten years; it contains 86 acres, and is rented at something about $250 a year. Mr 5 Phipps has also rented • the Whitely farm of 66 acres, on the Huron road, tor a term of ten years, at a rental of $125 d year. Better • tenants could not have been secured, • as both are tip top farmers, and will leave the farms in even better con- dition than they get them. Too late tor last weok To the Editor of the Clinton New Era u ' SIR:—Will you kindly allow me a little more space to make a few ex- planations regarding that celebrated foot ball 'match. In the first place allow me to remind the worthy Beavers that bombast is not argu- ment. In the next place, we can produce three reliable witnesses; (not members .of_our_team) if not more,_ who will teatfy that the challenge was given on the let of July, and not on Sunday, as they would lead the public to believe. In the next place, the Beaver captain admits that our captain did not dog him around on Sunday, as stated by the Beavers, neither had they hie consent to use his name in connection with that matter. We have .:also ample proof that he did not know the nature of their last correspondence to the NEW ERA till it appeared in print. Then again we are now in a position to explainathat notorious misunder- standing, .which explanation will show where and on what particular member, or members of the team, r, the blame rests. We were always ; -under the impression, and now we are convinced, that the captain was too much of a gentleman to make or sent to statements made in the pondefice aligned Beayere. T we could say as much for every member of the team. Thanking you "• Mr Editor for your apace. I remain truly yours, .CLEAR GRIT. Bruce field: L..

WISDOM SPREADING IN Tony CIRCLES. -Soma time back a few of the more prominent, and less narrow minded Conservative members of this community, have been taking the Globe on account of its fair repres- entation of political matters. They want a true and unbiased report of all that is going on in parliamentary circles and seem to have found it at last, judging from the admiring look with which that paper is greeted when the mail is sorted. A POPULAR ESTABLISHMENT.— When a photograph gallery was started here this spring, many thought tbat it could not be run with success, but now not only are those fast becoming reconciled to a con- trary view, but are even becoming surprised at how a business can'be carried on when an energetic and obliging man is pushing it with all his might. Mr J W Cook is rapidly progressing here, owing, no doubt, to his genial -manners and finely finish- ed artistic work. During the last few months he has taken some of the best buildings and residences of Bayfield, which may be seen at his studioat any time. Every citizen of town wishes Mr_ Cook greater suc- cess than -ever in future. On Sabbath last Revs Stewart, of Clinton, and Henderson, of town, exchanged pulpits, the former preach- ing to a large congregation in the morning: Mr Stewart spoke on David and Mephibosheth, and in a forcible and well pointed discourse, drew lessons of practical instruction from the story of the relationship between these men.

Three weeks ago last Sunday morning our town hall, with all itslcontents, was consumed by fire, which undoubtedly was the work of an incendiary. Last Sunday morning early, the alarm was, given as the result of a fire in an old ter- n raced tenement house, near Ogilvie''a big mills. There had been no one living ani this house for some time; it was also thought to be set on fire. Again, early last Tuesday morning; the alarm sounds loud and long, and which told of a big fire somewhere, it happened this time in J 5 Porter's furniture warerooms, on Main St. The fire, which was without doubt some More incendiary work, was first discovered red in the back part of the v building, which was frame,and rapid- ly the flames spread, but through the ar none efforts of the firemen, who ke' t two or three streams pour- .ing our- fir were enabledit 1 a to get under control and kept it confind to the back part of the building,much damage, however, was donb fire and water, a beautiful hearse togeth- er with a lot of excellent upholstered furniture were utterly destroyed. Had the fire reached the front part of the building, it would have been serious for others, as adjoining there h frame buil ins which wore of d New subscribers ban get rw EPA Would have burned like kindling g 41Y wo kindling for the balance of the year for 25 ciente wood.

Remember that the watch -man bas his Dial illumin- ated, indeed so brightly polished is it that it reflects even to the roots of trees, so if the boy will persist in, an- noying his neighbors he should have a disguise and not trust to theshadow of a tree fora hiding -place. DEATH. --We are sorry. to learn of the death of Mrs Phillips, an old resident of Blyth, which took place at her home in London, on Wednes- day morning at 1 o'clock.

Mr Geo Philips arrived in town Wednesday, to make arrangements for the burial, which takes place to- day (Thursday) in, the Union Ceme- tery. WEDDING BELLS—An event which caused quite a ripple of excitement in society circles, took place at the residence of Mrs Tanner sr, when her daughter. Miss. Susie, was united in the holy bonds of matrimony to Mr Geo Powell, merchant of this place. The ceremony took place at two, and was performed by the Rev G F Parke, of Listowel, in the presence of a number of guests, the immediate re- latives of the contracting parties. The bride was becomingly attired in cream Bilk and lace, and attended by Miss Archer, of Warwick; the groom was assisted by Mr J Tanner, of Listowel, brother of the bride. After refreshments had been partaken of Mr and Mrs Powell left on the four train south, ,a great crowd assembled at the depot to see them off and in- dulge in a little throwing of rice and old slippers, mingled with good wish- es for the futnre happiness of a couple who are very much esteemed by all who know them.

The entertainment given by them in the church was. also well attended, and entertainment good. THE HENSALL FAIR..—Wednesday was a red letter day in the history of Hensall, being the occasion of their first fall fair. To say that it was a magnificent success i3 putting it very mild. The weather was all that could be desired, being warm and pleasant. " Never in the history of Hensall have so many people been crowded into it, .the exhibits were numerous and of excellent quality. The outside attractions consisted of a well contested foot ball match be-' tween Brussels and;. Hensail, which resulted in a draw, each securing 1 goal. And a tug of war, between teams picked out by J E McDonell and D Urquhart, proved a great. at- traction. The inside department was held in the spacious Rink, which place was well filled. The display made by our citizens of their different wares, was elaborate, and to partic- ularize is unnecessary! In roots, fruit and grain, the exhibit was ex. ceptionally large, and Unusually good. In works of art and ladies work there woe a grand display. In horses a ,very large show was anticipated, but the show both in quality and quanti- ty far excelled anticipation, whilst of other stock the show was good. The people here deserve great praise for their enterprise, and are rewarded by knowing that their first exhibition was one of which any place might well feel proud. It was a splendid success, the attendance and exhibits all being beyond anticipations, and the footing gained by the society will enable itto do even better in the future. Wingham.
