OF INTERESTING NEWS '
From all parts of-the-County—b-y-fwide-awake
and lively Correspondenttl
liotsns,—The apple packers have got
through in this sacinity; it was a dis-
agreeable job towards the last. The
many friends of Mrs N. Wilson, 13th
con., W. Wawanosh, will be glad to
hear of her recovery from her late se-
rious illness. „There were no church
services or Sabbath school at Zion, last
Sunday, owing to the church opening
at Blake's. The roads are in a terrible
state of mud; especially is this the case
where the gravelling was done late in
the fall; the council should let these
jobs earlier in the season.
Varna
Nos.—Mr Morrow has secured the
services of Mr J. Battring, a first-class
tailor, from St. Catharines, who comes
highly recommended, and Mr Morrow's
patrons will have their suits made in
the latest style. Messrs Ashton &
Guning, managers of the Varna cider
mill, are making things hum, and the
way the apples are pouring,into the
evaporator, it bids fair to be an ali
winter's job.
CHURCH.—The Quarterly meeting of
the Varna circuit was held in the
Varna church on November the 6th;
the attendance from the different ap-
pointments was good, a large number
took part in the fellowship meeting
and all felt it good to be there. On
Monday the business meeting was
held in the same place,[which wee well
represen ted from the different appoint.
men trn-the-Stewards-were-e,
ed; monies well up, and a spirit of con-
cord prevailed throughout the meet-
ing.
MARRIAGE.—The residence of Mr J.
Armstrong was the scene of a very
pleasant event on Wednesday, the 9th
anst, it beingthe marriage of his daugh-
ter, Miss Addie, to Mr Robert McCool,
of Harrington, formerly of this village.
The ceremony was performed by the
Rev F. G. Newton. W. Johnson ;per-
formed the duties of best man, while
the bride was assisted by Miss Sarah
Noble, of Seaforth. About sixty in-
vited guests witnessed the tying of the
nuptial knot. The young couple are
highly thought of in this community,
and every one joins in wishing them
long life and prosperity. The presents
were numerous and costly, and show
the high esteem in which the bride
was held.
NOTE. The threshers are nearly
through their season's work; there was
a greater number of machines than
usual, but the average run for eaoh
was about 90 days.
HOUSE OF REFUGE.—The poor house
question is being moderately well dis-
cussed among our farmers at present,
the intelligent, thoughtful and be,st
citizens being almost to a man oppos-
ed to it as being an unnecessary insti-
tution established for some man to
get boodle out of it in the first place,
and for hangers on to live afterwards,
the deserving getting only a portion of
the monies intended for assisting the
poor. Also the knowledge that in
counties having a House of Refuge
tramps are as numerous, if not more
so, than in Huron under the present
system. Then as to the sentimenal
phrase of the question, the poor house
advocates say it is inhuman to keep
the indigents in jail as criminals?
Are the vagrants at present in Gode-
rich jail looked upon as criminals?
Will they be any less prisoners in a
poor house? We are not acquainted
with the circumstances of more than
one vagrant at present in jail, but that
one has wealthy brothers-in-law, a
wife and family in comparatively
easy circumstances and a family of
, step -children getting along well in the
aecumulation of wealth. How is he
entitled to be a burden on the public,
are not the persons mentioned above,
or at least some of them, the •ones to
contribute to his support or else the
municipality to which he belongs so
that the relatives may be shamed into
eupportings ors_havings stub etrnng
clams on team for the means of sus-
tenance in his declining years. We
will give more on the question as the
tine approaches for the people to vote
as they think, if we are allowed space
in your valuable paper. [Mamma's

last week; she is doing nicely though
quite an aged and delicate lady. At a

it was unanimously decided to ask for
a $75 collection this year, to pay ex-
penses of church and parsonage, in-
stead of having a tea meeting; Chisel -

Sunday last the Methodist pulpit was
supplied by Rev Mr Ashley, of Gode-
rich, superannuated, who preached from
1st Peter 5, 20, "Let him know that he
which converteth the sinner from the
error of his ways, shall save a soul
from death, and shall hide a multitude
of sins;" showing very forcibly how
God designed that man should be a
very powerful instrument in the salva-
tion of souls, and encouraging all to
exercise the talent and influence they
had in saving others. We are sorry
to hear that Ur Joseph Lyon has been
under the doctor's care for some time,
for the treatment of cancer growing
inwardly; it is to be feared that his
they possibly can for him.
CHURCH. — The Quarterly Official
Board of the Methodist Chur ch, met
here on Wednesday, 9th inst.; there
was quite a large attendance from
Londesboro and Ebenezer circuits;
for some reason, not known to your
corresponpent, no one from Kinburn
put in an appaarance; this is not quite
as it ought to be, and it is to be hoped
that it may not often be repeated in
the future. The finances, while not
so well up as could be desired, were
considered to be in advance of previous
years at this date, yet there is room
for improvement. The uieeting was a
very harmonious and pleasant one.
The following stewards were elected,
John Tarablyn, Elisha McVittie, Will-
son Collinson, Marshall Braithwaite
Recording Steward, James Stanley,
Albert Treewin and Elijah Townsend.
Mr A. Woodman was nominated also
as Recording Stewaxd, but declin-
ed to stand. The following resolu-
tion was also passed—Moved by Elisha
McVittie, seconded by Elijah Towns-
end, that we much regret the:removal
from this circuit during the past quar-
ter of Bro. James Braithwaite, who
was one of the oldest members of the
Board. We desixe to place on record
our high appreciation of his Christian
character, his long and valuable ser-
vices as Recording Steward of the
circuit, he having acted in that capac-
ity over the last twenty years until
hi S removal, and having been a mem-
ber of the Board over forty years, and
for many years superintendnet mf the
S. S. We present him our most cor-
dial and hearty thanks for the services
thus -rendered.- and -desire to assure
him of our most sincere wishes and
prayers for the temporal and spiritual
welfare of himself and family, that a
copy of this resolution be sent to him,
also that it be published in the CLIN-
TON NEW ERA.

lot will be built on this season.

who has been visiting here all summer,
returned home this week. Miss A.

on a visit to Chicago. Mr Geo. Wray

• STATION NOTES.—Apples and Vrgans
are the chief articles of shipmen opow,
and they are being shoved eut inheavy
shipments. Two car load of cattle were
shipped this week. If next season IS
like this one—and we hope it may be—
it will be necegsd,ry to enlarge the
freight shed land put ,on more ,assist-
ance to handle the exports.
CLINTON FOUNDRY. — Several im-
portant changes and improvement
have been made in the internal ar-
rangements of the Clinton. Foundry
with a view to gfeater facility for
work and enlarged operations next
season. Mr F. Macpherson, who
several weeks ago went to the North-
west in the Company's interest, is ex-
pected home in a few days.
TRIFLES.—It was quite a fall of snow
for the 10th of Nov. The town wood
yards are out of wood and many citi-
zens likewise. The farmers are busy
with their turnips—when the weather
will permit. Five weeks to Christmas,

of the market. A ready market is
found for all the wood coming into
town. Still they come—the aew sub-'

APPLE NOTES. -LA careful estimate
of the returns from orchards •pjaces
the yield of apples in this county at
about 200,000 barrels, one-quarter of
which have been handled through Mr
David Cantelon. The highest price
paid for an orchard in the county was
to Mt J. Rossier, of Colborn�,. who re-
ceived a lump sum of $625; 1VIr Thomas
Harrison, ot Goderich township, re-
ceived the next largest amount, $600.
It looks like a very risky venture to
buy an orchard without knowing ex-
actly what fruit it contains, but in both
these instances the yield favored the
buyer a little. So far about 200 cars
have been shipped from Clinton sta-
tion, about half going to the States
and the remainder to England. The
shipthents of evaporated fruit have also
been very. extensive and Mr Carling is
this week loading a car for the old
country, though most of the shipments
go elsewhere; it, is expected that an-
other month will finish the work of the
evaporator,
Cowls OFF, Now.—The Clinton NEW
ERA, with a coluinn of local tid bits,
mostly scissored, has the audacity to
criticise our hx.al news matter. We
invite brother Bob to a consideration
of the fact that his local matter Pub- •
lished Friday is largely stolen frem
ours published Thursday.—Exeter Ad-
vocate. [It is mighty little local newa
that any paper could steal from the
Advocate, even if it were so disposed,
for if you were to drop out what is not
• local, but is published as such, there's
not much left. All that the Nnw ERA
said about the Advocate was that
"there's room for improvement in the
local columns," and we believe there is
great room. The Naar ERA averages
more actual original local news than
any atlor paper in Huron, and yet WO
believe there's room for improvement. ,
