DROWNED.—Mr Robt Stewart, o the Doherty Organ Factory, was willed to Toronto laat week on a sad errand, it being for the purpose of burying his sister, who had accident- ally been drowned. FALL WHEAT.—Parties who have been over the country, state that a much larger area than usual is being ~;•sown to fall wheat The work is being done tinier favorable circumstances, as the ground and weather are favor- able. THIGH BROKEN. —On Sunday, while moving about tire house, Mrs Mountcastle had the misfortune to fall: down and break her thigh bone. Such an accident is bad enough at any time, but in the case of a person that has reached the age of Mrs •Mountcsstle, it is extremely so. A NOVEL ATTRACTION.—Visitors to the Huron Central annual exhibition o be held in Clinton on the 28th,29th nd 30th inet, will have an opportun- ity of witnessing one of the greatest marvels of the age—the phonograph, "This inrtrument is practically a talk - ,ng machine, and will repeat the exact words uttered by the parties ;talking into it. Everybody can have the privilege of using it. Come and hear yourself talk by proxy. NOVELPENALTY—Information was laid by the officers of the Salvation Army against, a youth named easels, ' an a charge of disturbing the services. The case came up before Reeve ;ginning, who found the prisoner guilty, but instead of imposing the cUtstomary fine, he made him pay elle caste ;and take the pledge to re- matt'i Reber; a fine to be levied cif at any,tifiiewhile in town tire prisoner violates his pledge. STOCK NOTES.—Mr James Mc- Farlane, of Stanley, arrived home from Quebec, on Saturday, whither he had gone for the purpose of se- curing some imported sheep and a young stallion, that were brought out for him. The -sheep are all shearl- ing ewes, Shropshiredown, and habe been disposed of to Mr Malcolm Mc- Ewen. Of the stallion, the North British Agriculturist says: — "The libra8 sold by Mr Gardiner was Bal - bougie Stamp, a sweet yearling colt got by Prince of the Glen, a grandson of Prince of Wales, out of Tibbie of Balbougie, 7124. This colt has been sold to Mr James McFarlane, Clin- ton, Ontario. Balbougie Stamp won first honors in his class at the Strat- hearn Central Society's Show on Thursday, and he was first prize foal at Messrs ,clay & Kyd's sale last autumn. .Ile should be well worth his money to his new owner. PASTOR'S WELCOME AND AT HOME —One of those rare occasions, all the more pleasant because entirely un- conventional, came off on Friday evening last, in the Ontario . street Methodist church. The esteemed pastor and his family have been away holidaying for a few weeks past, and the YPCE society organized an "at Home" for the purpose of"greet- ing them upon their return, and of affording an opportunity for social interctlurse'• amongst the members, A very nideprogram was carried out and refreshments were served in the basement. The choir, led by Mr Kay, did their full share and the Quartette club, which is not excelled anywhere in this district, sang at their best. Miss 0 Millar and Mr W Harland gave a splendid duett in good style. Mr,0 Hoare gave some selections on his glasses, proving that he has musical genius of a very high order, and the Y P C E Society Orchestra also enlivened the pro- ceedingd. Mr Manning and Mr Gif- fin eaoh read entertaining selections and Rev Messrs Shifter' and Gallo- way gave Exhort addressee. 'The ev, ening was very pleasantly spent, find the young people did everything they Could to make the people feel ''At Home."

The second night of the Fair is always looked npon as one of genuine and ;general amusement, and this year's arrangements will be fully np to that of former times, A great choir of all the town singers will also take part, and such a programme, with the in- side exhibita all in place, will no doubt attract an immenee crowd. A GENERAL ILLUMINATION. This is what our Fair Directors are aiming at and our business men should go io heartily for it. A request is be- ing made that all places of businese should be decorated with colored lights and lanterns, and the insides illuminated with the electric light or the best lamps. We understand that arrangements have been made by which Ian erns can be got cheap from those usuaily selling such articles,and all hands should invest in a few. For a night our main streets can be turn- ed into fairy land and the crowds that are eure to be here during the day will be induced to stay over to see the sights. The agricultural grounds and boildinge will be prettily decorated, and we can safely leave the proper de- coration of our only municipal build- ing in the hands of Mayor Doherty. Local Notes Mrs T (flew, of Alpena, Mich, is here on a visit. The volunteers returned from drill on Saturday. Mrs Johns, of Winnipeg, is here on a visit to her mother, Mrs O'Neil. Mr T E Oliver is still confined to his room; he has had a six weeks' siege of it, Mise Madge and Mies Lena Doher- ty left yesterday for Alma College, St. Thomas. Mr D. B. Kennedy has some notion of erecting a brick stable, to replace the one burned down. Sire T Rance; after a most enjoy- able holiday at Rat Portage, return• ed to town last week. On Monday, Mr W Muir had the misfortune to lose two fingers while at work in the foundry. The Saturday excursion rate for Kincardine and Goderich is off for the balance of the season. A number of Clintonians attended a social party at the resicence of Mr John Robertson, Goderich, the other evening. _ On Tuesday afternoon, part of the roof and side wall of Beattie's new livery fell in, haying been injured by the late fire, John and James Elliott, Goderich township, left on Monday for Oakes, Dak., and were ticketed through by W. Jackson. Mrs Albert May and Mrs W May left on Tuesday for Montana, where the former's husband and the latter's sopa areresiding. 28-29-30—These are the dates of our great Huron Central fair. Paste them on the Fd of your nose so you won't forget t tem. Mr E Carter left us a plum that measured 61 by §1 inches. We are an excellent judge of large plums,. and this was a very good one. Mr Robt Gray, of Ontario, Cal, who has been visiting among friends hereabouts for a couple of months, left on hie return on Wednesday last. If the Huron Central great exhib- ition isn't a vivid success it won't be the fault of the officers or those who are working on it's committees. They are hustlers. Last week very few tickets were sold for Toronto, but on Monday morning quite a number took advan- tage of the low rates. The great rush will be to London, and the Hu- ron Central. Toronto fair is said to be good. and that's all right. Anything's good until something better eclipses it. Wait for the great Huron Central exhibition and then come to Clinton and have a good time. We are sorry to learn of the serious illness of Mrs Joseph Whitehead, who is confined Co her room ; with con- gestion of the lungs and bronchitis, she seems a trifle better this week than she has been, but is yet quite poorly. RETURNED.—Master James For- tune. whose disappearance from home sometime ago was mentioned, return- ed home on Tuesday from PortHuron, where he has been employed. He frankly confesses that 'there's no place like home.' Jackson Bros. find their] business so extensive and increasing so much that it is necessary to employ a perm- anent book-keeper and corresponding clerk, and Miss McMichael, of Sea forth, has been secured to fill the position. To be sure Clinton does not pre- tend that its show will be as big an affair OS the World's Fair in Chicago in 1893, but then see what a long time you will have to wait before you can see the World's Fair, while the Huron Central will take place in less than a fortnight. The following fcom the British American, of Chicago, alludes to a former Clintonian:- --"Mr peter Craib, (formerly of Woodetoek, Ont,) now with Mandel Bros, of this city, and who recently was• married to Mise Anna Kegel, has taken up house at No 371 Mohwak street, where he and his worthy spouse will be pleased to see old time friends, ...

This claim finds de. fenders in every, place where the organ is known, and its reputation is continually increasing, the factory being rushed all the time tokeep pace with the demand. In addition to sweetness of musical qualities, the firm pay great attention to the (awes and their instruments could not be surpassed as parlor ornaments. Vis- itors should not miss seeing this exhibit. Church Notes. A social under the auspices of the W MFS will be held at the Ontario St parsonage, on Friday evening, Sept 18th. On Tuesday afternoon the lady members and friends of Willis church, presented the wife of Rev. A. Stewart with a certificate of life membership in the Foreign Mission Society. Rev R Henderson, of Bayfield, conducted the services of Willis church, on Sunday. . Rev Mr Stew- art holding anniversary services at Bethany church, Goderich township. Mr Henderson is an excellent preach- er, of liberal views, and will speedily rise to prominence. An esteemed correspondent writes asking the reason why the Doxology was not sung at the commencement of the evening service, in Rattenbury Street Church last Sabbath? remark- ing that in his opinion this's the time of all times when the beautiful strains should ring forth in our midst. The reason it was not sang was be- cause it has not been customary to use it on the occasion of a memorial service. Presbytery of Maitland The Presbytery met at Wingham, September 8th. Rev R 5 G Ander- son, M A, B D, Moderator. A com- mittee was appointed to prepare a minute regarding the death of the late Rev G Brown, of Wroxeter, to be submitted at next meeting.

The resigna- tion of Rev D Davidson, of Lang - side, was accepted, to take effect on the first of October. The charge is to be declared vacant on the first Sabbath in October. It was agreed to have the annual Sabbath School statistic reports printed and distri- buted among . the Sabbath Schools of the Presbytery. Applications for grants in behalf of Aidre- eeiving Congregations were re -af- firmed. It was agreed to make ap- plication for Langside for two dollars per Sabbath during, the vacancy. Messrs J 5 Davidson and R T Cam- eron, students, performed the pre- scribed exercises, which were sus- tained, and they were certified to the Senate of Knox College.

DOWAGIAC, MICH., Sept 10, 1891. To The Editor of the Clinton New Era: Sia.—The second murder in the history of this town was perpetrated last:Monday evening, shortly after six o'clock. The particulars are as fol- lows: Late in the afternoon two young ladies stopped at a bridge post. at the south east of the town and near the brewery. They threw off their shoes and stockings and began wading about in the water. While engaged in this a man named George Bryant came out and stood in the double•dhor of the brewery and sal- uted them, they returned the salute in a not very modest manner. This was repeated every few minutes by the different parties, soon these girls were joined in the stream by a woman named Mrs Abbot, she also taking part with the girl, in their parley with Bryant. «'hen the whistle blew for six Mrs A bot said they would go ta meet Chi, lie. Off they started and when they were nicely on their way they looked around and saw Bryant in the door who waved his hand, and returning the adeaa in a very unladylike man- ner. When they met Charlie (Mrs Abbot's husband) Mrs Abbot said that Bryant had insulted them, Abbot said he would fix him. On their re- turn they were talking quite loudly and Bryant coining up heard Abbot say I wish I could see him, he, never thinking any thing wrong,said whom do you wish to see, Abbot said with a curse 'you',then struck him. Bryant laughed and said whose afraid of you, at which Abbot struck him over the head with a club, fracturing his skull so badly that he only lived a few hours. The above is the Qubstance of a confession made by one of the girls yesterday evening; after which all four were removed to the county jail. Michigan's penalty for the crime of murder is imprisonment for life.
