CURED.—The wife of Mr James Patton, clerk of Goderich township, who has been in town for some time undergoing medical treatment for the removal of a cancer, has recover- ed so far that she was able to be re- paoved hgme on panday last] PROPE11TY -- Mr James , Scott, barrister, has purchased the residence of Mr Geo Glasgow. Mr Glasgow hair rented the vacant store of Mr R Irwin, in the brick block, which is being fitted up, and will 45074; Lis stock thereto, with residence above. iheMtfi I'3aEAKINo. — At Inde- i]ter'dellce, Ia, on Saturday, the stal- lion Allerton trotted a mile in 2.091, which beate the world's record. Mr Joseph Copp's roam colt is a full half brother to Allerton, and since this stallion bas lowered the record, he thinks he should increase the value of his colt, which seems reason- able enough. REMOVED. — Mr Thos Rumball, who has been ticket clerk and opera- tor at the station here for some time, has been transferred to Goderich, syhere he will fill a similar position. Tom is a good, faithful employee, and deserves well at the hands of the company, this change, however, may slightly disarrange his plans, as he had secured a house in anticipation efr an important event in which he will figure as one of the principals. KEPT LATE Houis.—One night last week a certain young man ac- companied a young lady to a social gathering, where "they danced all night till near daylight." When they returned home, the hotel where 'the young lady worked was locked, - and there was no alternative bat to crawl in through a sitting room win- dow, and they were ,so exhausted' that they reposed on the lounges and both • went to sleep, being found there in the morning. It is mean to • badger the young fellow about it, but some people are doing so. HE'LL GET THESE.—Blyth, Erns - eels, Wingham, Seaforth, Gerrie (and several other places) have not yet• held their fail fair, but when they do the name that will figure most prom- inently in the prize list will be "W H McCracken, Brussels, let and 2nd" and be will take about 150 prizes at each place. The report that W H just digs up his garden truck from the root house every year is a mali- cious slander;'tbere are certainly no "grounds" for it, for he can "beat" the county in raising vegetables; and is sure to "turnip" at every fair with a prime lot of brand new garden track. No sir, there's nothing old about W H except his whiskers. GOOD MEN.—Men like the Can- telon Bros, James Steep, and the other fruit buyers, are good men to have in: a town, because they put a lot of money in circulation at a time, when it ist particularly needed, not only this but they create busineee in various ways—they help the basket and barrel makers, teamsters, &c, and, as a rule pay the highest mar• ket value , for fruit. At different times this year they have actually been paying higher for fruit than it was retailing in Toronto for, but they had markets eleewhere they could fall back on. Farmers should appreciate, and no doubt do, good cash buyers. Goon THRESH1IQO.— The Exposi- tor says: --On day last week as Messrs H Smith and F Tomlinson were threebing for Mr Angus Gordon, 4th con, Tucliersmith, the oats were running so fast from the delivery spout of the machine that it took four men to carry away the boxes. They moved the machine across the road to Mr JamesGemmill's. While there we thought we would time theta, and the oats ran at the rate of 9 bushels a minute for one hour and a half. It waa`ft Monarch jnachine. The threshers, did ` not -know they were being timed or they vronld have beat this record. (The Monarch is evidently tke machine for good and fast threshing. It is made in Clin- ton, and could not be otherwise than geod.f All we want now for Monday, Taleblay ani Wedneaday is fine *Whet 4.4,11:$4.41 7olbegi Uri '.

Mrs Jno Malloy and family move this week to Detriot, where her hus- band is employed. Mr P. B. Sibley is away, owing to the serious illness of hie mother, who resides in Minuesota. Mr John Lapier returned last week from the old country ; he only spent a couple of days in Glasgow. J C Steventon and J Chidley, jr:, attended the meeting of the Ontario Undertaker's Association Last week. The morning train took about 150 passengers for London on Monday; a big crowd also went down on Wed- nesday. George Trowhill has belonged to the "stiff-necked gentlemen" for a few days, having a welt developed boil thereon. Master D. A. Cantelon left last week for Lucknow, where he will remain for some time in the interest of the apple business. Mr D Cantelon shipped 1500 bar- rels of apples for Winnipeg, via the Monarch, last Saturday, and nearly the same number via the United Em- pire, on Tuesday. The Huron Central exhibition lasts three days. Pater families will have done his part when he shells out a ten or fifteen cents a piece for the family for two days out of the three. Albert Clark, a well known bag- gageman on the London, Huron & Bruce Railroad, was drowned while bathing at Kincardine on Thursday ; .his family reside at London, to which place the body was taken. The distance from town to Holmes - vine and back, was covered on Wed- nesday afternoon, by a bicyclist; in 35 minutes; considering that the road is hilly, and the weather egood hing hot, the time was pretty w r. AccibeIVT.—A son of Mrs Bridon, aged about 15 years, met with a bad accident on Tuesday evening. He was up a tree gathering butternt2t„ when he fell, breaking his collar bone, and otherwise hurting himself. BIG LOADS.—Mr Thos Churchill delivered at the Standard Elevator this week two exceptionally large s loade of wheat, one containing 113, and .the other 117 bushels of wheat, b which average 63 pounds to the bushel. v?rprs74� - fr E in oo , trim t a 9•.ra reeentative of the �1 d*rd Insurance Po bas been transferred by ths company to the nrtrthwest, with headquarters at Calgary, and will *ell off hie house- hold furniture on the i0th.

E'e is :A d fellow and.we are sarry to gee film leaving town, but ,as he betters hie circumstances by so doing, it is in the usual order of things. apuaeox&ice,--Mise Eva Stevenson, who has been visiting in the States for several months is back home, Mr John Knott, of the base line,. who went up to the North West with a car of horses, got back Gast Saturday; he says that quite a bit of grain has been frozen, while a lot has escaped. Mrs Tremier, of S,mithville, is here visiting her mother and sisters. Mr Chea G orrel, of Anna, Mich., made a visit home this week. Mrs 1) Grummit, of Muskoka, is visiting her mother, Mrs Ry e, it is a number of years office she has been home. Com:mgr.--Prof Scott, and com- pany, give a concert in the town hall next Wednesday evening, the list of performers embraces such excel- lent musicians as the Misses Steven- son, of Guelph, S Fax, the celebrated comic, and others. The Professor gave a concert in Exeter this week, and' over 100 seats were reserved a week before the concert. The King- ston Queen's College Journal -alludes to the singing of the Misses Steven- son. at a late concert there:— "The main part of the programme was taken by the Misses Stevenson, of Guelph, who appeared in four num- bers- It was their first appearance in Kingston, and to the music loving part of the audience their singing was a rich treat. Their pretty stage manner at once captivated the hearts of all pres- ent, their exeoutiona particularly in the duets, was perfect, In both songs and duets they called forth most enthus- iastic applause, and encores were de- manded for all. They shall certainly receive a warm welcome in Kingston any time they should return, which we hope will not be long. Church Notes. Rev J Kenner was this week visit• ing his old friends here. Rey Mr Osborne will preach his farewell sermon on Sunday evening. The Salvation Army announce a banquet and jubilee for the 29th and 30th, Rev Robt Craig, of Fergus, a form- er Huronian, was up visiting his friends last week; he Looks just as ell as of yore. Rev W F Campus}], of Blyth, hav- ing injured himself by a fall, his work last Sabbath was supplied kr him by itlr James Young, Rev W Craig; Who hAi been visit- ing at Craightiittt tor a few days, re- turned home on Monday, and will occupy his own pulpit next Sunday. The 13th qquarterly meeting of the tanley, Tuckeremith'and Hay Sab- ath School Association will be held in the Methodist Church, Hensel], on Tuesday, Oct. 13, an excellent pro- gram has been prepared for it. N EARLY THREE SCORE, -,On Wed - neaday last Mr T 0 Cooper and wife celebrated their 59th wedding anni- versary. It is not given to many people to live together as long as this, and both are so bale and- hearty that they evidently have yet a long lease of life before them. Mr Thornton Wallace, of Hullett, who has been ailing for some time, was in town on Wednesday for the purpose of having some teeth drawn, but his strength was not sufficient to stand it. We are very sorry to hear of him being so poorly, and hope he may soon take a change for the bet- ter. SHEEP NOTES.—At the Western Fair, on Tuesday, Mr Jas Snell, the well known stoek raiser, sold to a gentleman from Pennsylvania,two shearling rams sed a ram lamb, and two pair of shearling ewes, and a pair of ewe lambs, all Leicester, at big prices. There is a big demand this year for sheep. Mr Snell was fortun- ate enough to take a prize on every sheep that he showed. Deem—Some months ago, Mr Jas Snyder, of Hamilton, had a large por- tion of his jaw cut away, owing to the presence of a cancer, in the hope that it -would save his life. It was ineffectual, however, as he passed away on Tuesday last. He was en- gaged in the flour and feed business, and was a brother of Conductor Sny- der, of the L. H. & B., who was with him several days prior to his death. A NUISANCE.—On Tuesday even- ing between ten and eleven a number of rowdies amused 'themselves by running a carriage back and forth around the corners of Huron and Orangestreets, to the great annoyance of the dwellers in that locality. If these young men- were breaking etones in the day they would be healthily tired at night, and glad to be in their beds. This is not the first time that Orange street has been the scene of similar disturbances, and it is time it was put a stop to; a town of the size of Clinton should not tolerate such proceedin .—RESIDENT WILL NOT RE-ENGAGE.—Mt Jas Turnbull, who for 23 years bas been at the bead of what is now known as the Clinton Collegiate Institute, has notified the Trustee Board that he will not re-engage after the expira- tion of the present term. We be- lieve that it is his intention to re- move to Toronto, in which place several members of his family reside. From his first entry in our midst up to the present time, Mr Turnbull has been one of our most highly esteem- ed citizens, his public and private life being of the ,suet exemplary -and commendable nature. He has been a member of the Town Council; on the Directorate of the Mechanics' Institute; for years an official of Will, is church, and has closely identified himself with every movement that has had for its object the moral and intellectual advancement of the community, That hia particular duties as headmaster have been in- valuable, goes without saying, Cline ton having enjoyed the distinction of being one of the beet educational contras is the province, and the number of young people who are graduates of Clinton school, and to- day fill some of the most responsible positions in this land, and the neigh- boring Republic, is an evidence of the thoroughness of his work. He deserves to take life easy for the re- mainder of his days, and nothing but good wishes willgowith him in hia removal. To the Editor' of the Clinton New Era DEAR Snt,—I have duly observed a paragraph in your last issue re- jerring to the illumination of the Town Hall on Tuesday evening next, and I have much pleasure in stating that, after consulting the member® of the council they have with one accord entered into the matter with much enthusiasm. I have therefore directed Chief of Police Wheatley and Caretaker Welsh to use their beat endeavors to beautify, decorate and illuminate our town property on the occasion mentioned. I hope the request made by the Huron Central Directors will be gen- erally and enthusiastically carried out and that our town on Tuesday will present a scene that will be a delight not only to our citizens but also to all who may have the pleasure of seeing it. I am, Sir, Yours respectfully, W. DOHERTY, Mayor. News Notes ,Around the County Two cents on the dollar will be the rate of taxation in Brussels this year. Complaint is made that the Brussels hotels violate the law with impunity. What is the East Huron Inspector do- ing ? Jno. Harris, 16th con of Grey, deliver- ed two loads of fall wheat at the Na- tional' Roller mill, Brussels, this week, which scaled 661 pounds to the bushel. The reeidence of W. Roilerson, 8th line, of Morris was recently, destroyed by fire in a rather unaccountable man- ner while the owners were absent from home. The fire oc3urred after night. Wm. Plunkett, M. D., formerly of Stanley',township, now a medical practi- tioner at Yarmouth, Iowa, recently met with a bad misfortune. IIis drug store and residence caugh fire and were burn- ed down on Sunday, August 30th. The Signal says :—We understand that Father West has presented with $5 each of the candidates from the separate school who passed the recent High School entrance examination. The generous gift should be highly prized by the successful ones. A Morris correspondent says:—It is said, to the disgrace of our township, that two women who we 1; ving in the same house had a han,.-t -hand fight not long since, and the bug, aid of one of the pugilists was an onlooker. This is surely not an evidence of the enlight- enment of the 19th century. A storm of wind and rain passed through,the northern part of Howick on Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock, which will not soon be forgotten, It was of the nature of a cyclone, tearing rip trees by the roots, etc. Mr. S. Nay, deputy reeve, was the greatest sufferer from its destrnative•ravages. The roof was com- pletely torn from his fine new barn, a rafter striking one of his horse's lege and breaking it, obliging him to shoot the animal. About every tree in his orchard was torn out by the roots, some fowl and pigs billed, &o. In short, $500 would not cover his loss. Billy Morrison, of Hallett, got full of beer and traded horses with Wingfield Rielly, of McKillop, the latter getting a soft snap on the horse deal. When Billy's head became level he realized that he had been done up in good @hale. and went for law by having Reilly sum- moned before the magistrate on Wednes- day. Wingfield threatened to have Bil- ly's scalp, however, when they got to- gether they kissed eaoh ether and agreed upon the settlement of exchanging hors- es, Wingfield to keep the $10 ;soot on the harms and Billy to pay cost of the cony t.
