TOO MUCH VARIETY. -First it rains, then it snows; sun comes out, away it goes. It goes away with a rush, but don't forget to make slush. Of all this _we've a satiety; pleasant weather 'would be variety. ArarmsT AUFFOCATED.-Two small children were playing at their home in town the other day, when one got in- side an inclosed washstand and closed the door. It was some time before it was discovered, and the child was then almost suffocated. To THE WEST. -The following per- sons left here this week for tike north- west: -Miss Plummer,Miss Tfrewartha, Fred Parker, Clinton; Jno Moffatt and wife, Stanley; and W. Barr, Londes- boro. All were ticketed through by the town agent of the G. T. R., Mr Will Jackson. GOVERNMENT PATRONAGE. - The Conservative papers of the county re- ceived the following sums last year, from the Dominion Government, for advertising alone :-Blyth Standard, $21.60; Clinton News -Record, $35.56; Exeter Advocate, $28.12; Exeter Times, $63.92; Goderich Star, $37.54; Gorrie Vidette, $6.48; Seaforth Sun, $46.35; Wingham Advance, $21.94. PIIRCHASED.-Mr John Brickenden has purchased, through Mx Thor.; Car- ling, the brick house on Rattenbury 'St. east, recently occupied by Mr S. Wilson, It is a very desirable proper- ty, the price paid was $1,350. It is by • no means dear at this price, and yet • bus been well sold the way property stands at present. We welcome Mr Brickenden to town. • THE NEW .ELECTRIC LIGHTS. -For several days, notwithstanding the very inclement weather, workmen have been busy putting up the wires for the new incandescent lights, and on Tues- • day evening the machinery was set in motion and the lights tested. Every one who has them in use was much pleased, and expressed themselves as well satisfied with the change. ' .1.4..M.TO-...CIALLECT.,-Tux1.-_RB-v.,BNug, On another page will be found a moat excellent and admirable essay on "How to raise a revenue." It is the prlduct of a farmer's son in the township of Stanley, whose modesty preyents his identity being made public. We cor- dially and heartily commend it to the careful perusal of every one, satisfied that if its suggestions were acted upon the country would be in a much better state morally and commercially. TEACHER ENGAGED. -The Collegiate Institute Board of Trustees has engag- ed Mr T. G. Allen, as Science Mast- er, to take the place of Mr J. A. Gif- fin, who leaves on the 31st inst. Mr Allen has been engaged in different -Collegiate Institutes, and is very 'highly recommended. The reputation of Clinton Collegiate has always been Al, and under the ad.oirable manage- ment of Principal Houston, and an ex cellent staff, will continue to rank as one of the foremost in the Dominion. RECKLESS WITH A REVOLVER. -On Tuesday afternoon Mr Whitely of the News -Record, stood in the bar of the Rattenbury House conversing with Mr Rattenbury, when a young nian a stranger, who was setting in a chair, evidently under the influence .of liquor, drew a revolver and deliberately aim- ing at N.Vhitely's hat, fired. He was arrested by Constable Wheatley, but as Mr Whitely did not wish to press any charge against him, he was fined, by Mr McGarva, for carrying a re- volver, $20 and costs. He got off easy enough. Es. -The egg season has again commenced, rather earlier than usual, a buyer for D. D. Wilson securing sixteen hundred dozen in Clinton, on Monday and Tuesday, an unusually large n • ber for this time of the year. As theg i'• I ian egg dealers are almost entireltitSccluded from the American market,, and have to rely on the Eng- lish market, it is in contemplation to 1314- eggs by weight,as they are sold in this manner in England. The egg as- sociation fell through some time ago, and there is, therefore, no concerted effort, but some of the dealers propose to introduce the matter, if theia,cus- touters and local dealers are willing to help them in so doing. A WELL REPAID VISIT. -While on business to the thriving town of Clin- ton, on Thursday of last week. it few ,leisure hours priviliged us an oppor- tunity to visit the famous W. Doherty & Co. organ manufacturers. We were very courteously ushered through the numerous departments of the establish- ment, where nearly 100 men WPFo busily employed at their specified work. We were for the first time made ac- quainted with the excellent qualities of their instruments, especially their •double reed and octave couplers. The organ is noted for its durability, and ig among the most, ornamental in the Dominion market, while the tone is the most harmonious we have ever neard in the case of an organ. Any person intending to purchase an org n will be well rewarded by calling Mr. Doherty, who Will be only too WI to entertain you, and offer you the best instrument made in Canada,' for 1018 than could he obtained 'elsewhere. Hoping soon to be able to ;add one of &etre No,96 organs to adorn out parlor, e retnain. Observe-.

Mr 11, Irwin, Clinton, has been elected a member of the Finance Coln- rnittee of the Supreme Court of Home Circles. The Chicago Times, of a re- cent date, has al page devoted to "Scotchmen who have blessed Chico with their presence," and among toth- ers is a commendable notice of Mr Robt Matheson, formerly publisher of the Clinton NEW ERA, who is still in news- paper 'work there. On information laid by Inspector Paisley, the proprie- tor of the Rattenbury House was fined $20 and costs last week fox the first of- fence under the Crock's Act; the pro- prietor of the Carlow Hotel was also on trial the day before, but the charge was not sustained. It has been evident for some time that there was no money in the business for two busses running to the station, and this has become so evident that one has permanently ceased, and the Rattenbury House bus is the only one now running. Mr W. II. Gregg, jr., of the Mound City Paint and Color Works,St. Louis, was laet week the guest of his uncle, Mr R. Irwin. Miss -Walker, of Toron- to, who has been visiting friends here, returned home on Monday.

Kay, at the urgent request of the members of Ontario St. choir, has consented to retain his position as leader thereof, a position he has so ably filled for several years. Mrs Whitt has taken rooms in the house of Mr Arthur Cook, Albert Street. The manufacture of the Doherty Piano was commenced this week. Mr Alfred Stonehouse, of Bayfield, has moved to town to reside. It is reported that a double wedding will take place near town, the ladies being two exceedingly popular and amiable persons. At the regular meeting of the School Board,on Thurs- day evening, a motion was passed in- structing the truant officer to investi- "gate the causes of the absence of some of the pupils.

The youngest child of the late Joseph Brownlee died on Wednesday. Mr. Samuel Manning, of Manitoba,son of Mr.Richard Manning, of Exeter, and brother of Mr. Wilbur Manning, Clin- ton, died on Wednesday morning.- Mr. Chas. Peacock, of Hullett, supplied the Public School and also the town with wood this winter; he is one whose transactions are in every way satisfac- tory, something not as common as it might be on the question of wood. - We believe that it is the intention of Mrs. Howson, Princess St., to remove to British Columbia at an early day; one of her sons, now home on a visit, has resided there for several years. - Miss A. Cruickshank is seriously ill.- 1. Church Notes. Revs A. D. McDonald and A. Stew- art exchangt_rl.pja‘, igi:Bunday-last- Organ recital 'will be given in St Paul's church, on Tuesday evening next.

Mr Diehl, late of Holmesville, has taken up his residence in town, finding it more convenient to fill his several appointments from this place We congratulate the Rev A. D. Mc- Donald, of Seaforth, on his new honor of Doctor of Divinity; an honor that he is eminently worthy of and one which he will wear with credit and distinction. Ensign and Mrs Woodgate, Assistant Divisional officers of the Salvation Army, and Lieut. Davis, of Bayfield, will take part in the services here this (Thursday) and Friday evenings, and have musical instruments, which will be used in the services. As the members of the Presbyterian church recently decided in favor of an organ, they have been since receiving contributions towards this end, having wisely decided that the ,instrument must be paid for entirely when brought into service. . Already a con- siderable sum has been raised, and the probabilities are that ere long a hand- some pipe organ will grace the choir loft of Willis church. On Sunday evening last the Rev J. W. 8hilton, 13. A preached the first of it series of sermons on "The Creation," the ground t ;liken in this sermon being that the record of the creation, as told in the first, chapter of Genesis, corre- sponds and is in practical harmony with the theory known as the Nebular Hypothesis, as understood by the best seien List s. 11 was an interesting in- stuctive and able discourse, and the series will he continued each Sunday evening for three or four weeks.

The reason we got them so cheap is, they are a lot of Remnants and odd lengths, running in lengths from 10 to 36 yards to a piece. There is not a flaw in them, but the lengths are shorter than the mills will 'put up in webs, and for that rea- son clear them out at job prices. Till this 14 is sold we -will sell White Cottons at prices away below their value's. FOR INSTANCE A Good White Cotton at 5 cents worth 7 cents A Good White Cotton at 6 cents worth 8 cents A Good White Cotton at 7 cents worth 9 cents A Good White Cotton at 8 cents worth 10 cents A Good White Cotton at 9 cents worth 11 cents A Good White Cotton at 10 cents worth 12 cents And a few pieces of a very fine grade at 121 cents We are not given to advertising great bargains and wonderfully low prices unless we have something extra to show you.

ELLIE- BLY"IAP One of the best selling Caps ever placed on the market is the above named Cap, the cut giving the shape and style. Last week our buy- er purchased the entire stock of the leading Wholesale Cap House of the Country, and we are now enabled to offer this Cap in Five dif- ferent Colors at 25 cents apiece. We have sold dozens of them at 75 cents, and in the city the regular price is $1. For Girls School Caps nothing can equal them, and when you can get three for the price of one it must be a wonderful bargain. The supply is limited and there is not a good buyer in the county who can afford to miss this chance. They will be on sale at both our Clinton and Seaforth stores.
