INa1WECTION.—Mr Hodgson, Inspector
of High Schools and Collegiate Insti-
tutes, made a visit to Clinton Collegiate
last Thursday, and was evidently much
pleased with all that came under his
observation. He spoke very highly
indeed of the incoming ' eadmafor
Mr John Heuston, and predicted
the Institute a large measure of useful-
ness and prosperity.

-correspondent of the Wingham Times

hatsshould he, be bymallpredict unseated. some srcam-
paigning error of his friends. lose his
Seat, he would again be re-elected with
- a bigger majority than on March the
5th, for the old chief is;well able to lead
his warriors to battle, yes, and eventu-
ally to conquer.
LOCAL OI TION.—A meeting was held
n.F;riday evening, by a number of per-
' sops interested .in total abstinence, to
consider the advisability of submitting
the question of Local Option, as pro-
vided for by the Act of the Ontario
Government. All present were heartily
in—favor thereof, but it was decided to
communicate with adjacent towns, to
see if their co-operation could be se-
cured, before taking any further decid-
ed action in the matter.
HEAVY Loss.—One night last week
Mr Jas. Snell, the well-known breeder.
of Hullett, met with a heavy loss.
When he went out to the stable
in the morning, he found one of
his finest imported breeding mares ly-
ing dead. She was the very picture of
health the night before, and he is at a
loss to understand what could have
caused her death. For breeding pur-
poses she was worth a very large sum,
and Mr Snell regrets her loss most
because of her value in this respect.
Mr Robert AutterSOn has taken up
his residence in.tow,n.
Mr P. W. Hayward is making ten
cutters for Beatty's livery
Mrs Wall, of !'Washington, (Miss
$earn) is visiting her parents here.
4 Mr Burrows, of Detroit, cousin of
Mr J. C. Stevenson, died last week.
Mrs B. P. Sibley. who has been visit-
ing friends in Wisconsin, is back in
town.
Mrs Swarts was called to Bay City
last week, by the illness of her daugh-
ter, Mrs E. Doherty.
Custom Collector Irwin, though able
to leave his room, is still unable to at-
tend to his duties, but hopes to be well
in a few days.

Rev J. S. Fisher, of Arthur, was in
town on Monday, being on his way to
visit friends at Holmesville. He is
looking particularly well.
The acquaintances of Mr W. McLean,
drover, will be sorry to learn that he
is in declining health, with the chances
of recovery against him.
Let every subscriber who learns of
any local occurrence in his or her
neighborhood, jot down the particulars
and send them to the NEW ERA; all
such are ever welcome.
We are sorry to state that Mrs An-
drews, sr., is very low in health, and
no hopes are entertained of hex recov-
ery, the absent members of her family
having been telegraphed for.
Mr A. Blue, deputy minister of
mining, and chief of the Statistical
Bureau of the Ontario Government,
was in town on Tuesday, collecting
information concerning the salt in-
terests.
The regular meeting of the Home
Circle will be held next Tuesday even -
lag, to take the form of a social, liter-
ary and musical character. All mem-
bers are invited and expected to be
present.
Word was received here on Monday,
that Mr Wm. Davis, of Port Huron,
eldest son of Mrs William Davis, was
very ill, and not likely to recover. Mr
Geo. Davis went over to look after him,
but his brother had died before he got
there.
Mr Will Potts, express messenger
between Detroit and Niagara Falls,
spent Sunday among his old friends
here. Will has made up his mind to
get married, and on the 25th inst. a
lady of Niagara Falls will help him
carry out the resolve.
Prof. Scott has just signed a contract,
at great expense, with Miss Jessie
Alexander, of Toronto, queen of elocu-
tionists, to take part in a concert in
the Town Hall, Clinton, in the third
week of December. This promises to
be the greatest ever given in Clinton.
A shooting match, for a purse of S80,
between Messrs McMurray, Hinchley
and Blackall, was held on Monday last,
resulting in favor of the first named.
In the contest proper, Blackall and
McMurray tried, but the latter beat in
"shooting off the tie."
ANOTHER GAP TO BE FILLED.—Mr
J. W. Green has received such material
offers of assistance from the people of
Gorrie, who are exceedingly anxious
for another paper there, that he has
purchased a printing outfit, and will at
once issue a paper there under the title
of the Hotwick Enterprise. Gorrie cer-
tainly cannot support two papers, but
Mr Green is a pusher, and will do his
part towards making one a success at
any rate. Mrs Green, who has been
visiting her parents in Clinton, for a
couple of weeks, left this week for
Gorrie.
DEATH OF MRS. TIMMINS. — At the
time the NEw ERA was published last
week the condition of Mrs Timmins, of
Bluevale (formerly Miss Carson, of
Clinton,) was so critical that two medi-
cal men of town were summoned to her
bedside at Belgra.ve; they did all they
possibly could for her, but saw at the
same time that death was inevitable,
and she passed ;away the same evening,
from blood poisoning. She was the
second daughter of Mrs Tufts, now of
Belgrave, and had been married just a
year. When residing in Clinton she
was a general favorite, and her untime-
ly death,at the age of 22 years and 10
months is deeply regretted. Mr and
Mrs H. Sevens and Miss C. Cooper, of
Clinton, were present at the funeral,
on Sunday.
SPREADING OUT.—We were so much
taken up with changes in our own pa-
per last week, that we neglected to
mention the improvements that had
taken place in the office of our esteemed
friend of the Seaforth Expositor. In
addition to putting in new • ma-
chinery• and enlarging his building,
friend McLean has enlarged the borders
of his paper, making it one of the larg-
est country papers in Canada. We are
not ashamed io say the NEW ERA was
modelled after the pattern of the Ex-
positor, and although we think our
own just a /Atte bit ahead of the Exposi-
tor in the amount of home news given,
we are willing to admit that the latter
is a tip-top all round paper, and de-
serves the success it has attained.

Mr W. J. Paisley has sold his farm
of 55 acres, on the Bayfield road, a
short distance from town, to Mr W.
Weir, who owns the adjoining 55 acres.
Six years ago this place was sold for
$5000, but although Mr Paisley got a
good price forit, it was much below
this figure.
UNEQUALLED.—Many of the NEW
ERA's personal friends complimented
it last week not only on the improve-
ment in its appearance, but expressed
surprise at the very large amount of
original home news it contained. There
were nearly 13 closely packed columns
of home and township news, an amount
that has not yet, at any time, been
equalled by any other paper. The NEw
ERA gets the news every time.
Anyone who supposes that those
hurdles on the Market Square are put
therq for ornament is much mistaken.
They are not ornamental. Anyone
wbo supposes that they are for the
purpose of tying horses to, is also
mistaken. Neither are they intended
for the accommodation of "The Sons
of Rest," though they might answer
very well for either of the latter pur-
poses. They are intended to be useful
in protecting the tanks from destruc-
tion by teams. This information is
necessary, because so many people have
been mistaken as to their use.
TEACHERS' APPLICATIONS.—At pre-
sent the Secretary of the Public School
Board is receiving a number of applica-
tions for the vacancies that will occur
in the school at the end of the term.
Some of the applications are a disgrace
to the teachers profession. The writ-
ing in some instances is abominably
bad, the spelling outrageous, while a
woful ignorance is displayed concern-
ing the general principles of capitaliza-
tion, and the wonder is that the au-
thors of such careless applications
could hold their position in a profession
that demands correctness in these re-
spects.
RUNAWAY,—We always knew that
Mr James Reynolds, of Hullett, was a
breeder of first-class horses, but we
never knew that he kept runners which
could develop such speed as did a team
of his on Saturday last. He was deliv-
ering some apples at the Rattenbury
House, the team being attached to the
tie post by a chain, when they got
frightened, broke away, and went up
Albert street in time that was nearly
epual to that of Mand S. They had
the "right of way," and pedestrians
gladly conceded their clairns. Just in
front of Kennedy's Hotel a team driven
by a young man named Cook was com-
ing along, and the runaways struck it
broadside, knocking Cook's hoses over
and throwing him some distance.—
Singularly and fortunately he escaped
unhurt, and after going as far as Fair's
yard, the team was caught, no serious
damage being done. Mr Reynolds is
always exceedingly careful of^ his
horses, hardly ever leaving them alone,
but he calculated that the chain would
hold them, in which, it seems, he was
not correct.
A Goon FEE.—Ministers are usually
glad to perform the tying of the mar-
riage knot. Especially is this true of
their wives, who generally receive the
perquisites. It is not often, though,
that they receive such a bonanto in
that way as Dr Briggs, who preaches
in Rattenbury street church, next
Lord's day, is supposed to have receiv-
ed. Some years ago, when stationed
in London, old Commodore Vanderbilt
came up on his special train from New
York, to marry his second wife, then
staying in that city for her health, and
Dr Briggs was called in to perform the
ceremony. He has never -revealed to
the public what his fee was, except to
say that he invested the amount, and
that it brings in a nice little sum an-
nually.
REVISION OF THE CLINTON VOTERS'
LIST FOR THE DOMINION FRANCHISE.
—Upon the revision of the Clinton
Voters' list for the Dominion Franchise
held by Judge Doyle,in the Town Hall,
on Saturday last, the names of fifteen
Conservatives were struck from the
list out of 18 appealed against, the
names of ten Reformers were struck off
out of 17 appealed against. The Con-
servatives made application to add ten
names, of these four were allowed.
The Reformers applied to add two,
both being allowed. The result of the
revision we think ought to be satis-
factory to all, in so far as a defective
statute can make it so. The learned
Judge commanded himself in his work
to the confidence of both sides by his
uniform courtesy and impartiality.

FAILURE
Every time if they do not carry out what they advertise, and
people soon lose confidence in such a firm. When we

On our part as we knew exactly what we were doing, and
how it would result. We kept faith with the public, and have

THE ICAUSE
Of many a business failure can be attributed to a lack of
judicious advertising. The wide-awake merchant of to -day
uses this medium of telling the reading public what he has to
sell; and the man who does not read the papers in this en-
lightened age should not be allowed out alone.
