So as a warning we commend all grain threshers to supply themselves with legal stamped measures. The govern- ment has recently obtained decisipns from the courts which declare that grain threshers are "traders" within the meaning of Weights and Measures Act, and so like all other "traders" they can only have in their possession legal measures. flnton few tha FRIDAY, AUGUST 18, 1893 The ehr1.mg Sea Dispute. e decision of the arbitration that as been sitting at Paris for three months past, is in the nature of a com- promise, and cannot be claimed as a victory by either court, Britain or the United States. Great Britain wins on these two points most strongly con- tested for, namely, that Behring Sea is an open one and in no sense under the control of the United States, ex- cept within the three mile `limit, and that there is no such thing as private • property in seals in the open seas. This decision carries with it the right to , damages on the part of Great Britain for illegal seizures made by the:United States. On the other hand, the tribunal has had respect to the strong plea made by the United States for regulations looking to the preservation of the seal. A close season of three months, from 1st May, is established,. and the three chile limit around certain islands is ex- tended to sixty miles. The use of fire- arms is prohibited. There is no doubt that these regulations will tell most hardly against our Canadian sealers. On these points the Globe says:— 1;q a adverse decision on the American claim could scarcely be a surprise, even to -theinreelvee. Everything considered, it is riot too much " to charaoterize the claims they made as preposterous. On the other branch of the case, namely, the necessity fOr imposing regulations on the capture of seals to prevent their extermination, they have been more fortunate. The civilized world is concerned in preventing the ex- tinction of these animals, and that this re- - salt would follow if nothing beyond the ordinory understandings of international taw were in force to protect them, can soarcely be gainsaid: If, for example, the vessels of all lands were allowed to carry on their operations at all seasons of the year just outside the three-mile limit from the shores of the Pribyloff Islands, it would not be long before the last seal of the Behring Sea herds would have joined the last bnf- falo. The appointment, therefore, of a 60- ' toile neutral zone abont the island and the establishment of a oloae season of three months, and from the let of May till the 31st July, could soarcely be avoided, al- though in the operation our neighbors come in for most substantial benefits. Another result of the arbitration will likely be the distribution of some titles to the parties concerned. Sir John Thompson and Hon.C.H. Tupper will be rewarded no doubt in this way. Sir John will likely be made a Privy Councillor, which would make him a "Rt. Hon." and young Mr Tup- per will he added to the list of Cana- dian Knights. "Tan Boole of TBE FAIR."—This is the title of a work that has beencom- uaenced by the Bancroft Publishing ,Company, of Chicago. It deals first of all with the different World's Fairs that have been held. and leads up to the present one. Printed beautifully and elaborately illustrated, to be is- sued -in 25 parts, it promises to be a work of art of unequalled attraction and beauty that should find an exten- sive sale, as it gives information about the World's Fair, with views accom- panying, that are invaluable. tfii.'ol:' Pergonal.

A certain mar;;, ried man, who was keeling bach, was engaged in preparing his' dinner, and had put a lot of shavings in the stove to hasten the fire. A neighbor's wife who noticed the large amount of smoke coming out of the chimney, concluded that it was on fire, and, with pardon- able zeal, she carried over a small lad- der and pail of water, and going up to the top of the chimney she poured the water down. In a second the man be- low was smothered with a cloud of ashes, and he felt slightly annoyed at the lady who thought she was perform- ing a good act. RECEPTION.—A Grand Rapids paper of a recent date thus refers to a sister of Mrs Whitt:—The R. T. T. Grand Rapids, gave a reception to Mrs A. S. Prendergast, of Stratford, in their fine hall on NI onday evening of last week. Mrs Prendergast gave a very interesting account of the work in Canada. The lady is a clear thinker and lluentspedkere and carries her audience with her. $he also favored the audience with a vocal solo; "Con- sider the Lilies," by R. Topliff, `which was rapturously encored. She has a fine, clear, sympathetic voice of good culture. A vote of thanks was tender- ed the lady and a wish expressed to meet with her again ere leaving the city. NOTES.—Farmers selling their grain • will find Clinton market "as high as the bighest," while dealers here -lave the reputation of being men of the strictestintegrity and honor. Har- land Bros. should have received the credit of the plate glass windows of Mr James Twitchell. Mrs Joy has our thanks for a basket of new potatoes. About 40 tickets were sold here for the Sarnia excursion, on Saturday. The e was an excursion to the Falls the same day, but not a ticket was sold here. The youngest son of Mr Chas.

Moore has been quite ill for several days, but is a little better; he returned froin Kincardine on Saturday, and was so low that his death was looked for. • Mr W. Bawden will have a sale of part of the Ransford property bought by him, on Monday next; it is certainly eligibly situated. The flax crop is evidently a good one, judging by the large quanti- ties that are being hauled to Forrester's flax mill. The town authorities should put down a number more tanks, and it would be a good plan to place them close to those already , down, so as to avoid moving the engine in case of fire. Mrs Charles Bezzo has returned from Chicago and will reside here; Mr Bezzo remains for some time in that city. Mr T. Kilty, of last week; be was he'fatheroof MrsdJohn.

Results of the Examinations. 'fMa refect,. The Board of Examiner° from ' all over the Province, who have been in ses- sion at the Normal School examining the papers written in the High School district examinations, which include the Primary, Leaving and Martioulation standards, as conducted by the Department of Educa- tion, have finished their labors. The ex- aminations are university matriculation, both pass and honor, senior and junior leaving examinations, and the primary ex- amination. The last named corresponds to the old third-class'certificate examina- tion. The junior leaving is about the same as the pass martioulation and takes the plane of the old second class. The senior leaving corresponds to the old first year university examination and first-class cer- tificate, and ie almost identical with honor matriculation. The matriculation exan.in- ation, pass and honor, gives the successful oandidates;eutgance to the university. The foilowi.,ng are the names of those who pa5seil''i ;tiba different examinations in the county;--- It is astonishing to find the number of people who are in hopes that the • ,American Congress will iu some way amend its tariff so as tc • admit Canadian products to that . market.

McKenzie. - Master Ernest Holmes, youngest son of Rev. J. W. Holmes. who wrote at the recent exami- nations, at Stratford. has the pleasure of seeing his name among the list of successful ones. His brother Joseph was not so fortunate. Mr James Steep and wife were at St. Marys, on Wednesday, attending the wedding of Mrs Steep's youngest brother, Mr Geo. Hammill. The bride was Miss Sharp, daughter of Mr H. F. Sharp, one of the old-time Clintonians. Mr Joseph Wheatley returned on Tuesday, from a trip to Flint, Mich. While there he came across a number of old Clintonians. all of whom seemed to bo doing well He was very much taken up with that section of the country. Conductor Parker, of the L. H. & 13. was off a n couple of days this week; he is the invo tor of a pump for removingsand from oil wells, and he was over at. Petroia to see how it worked.

A DENIAL. To the Editor of the Clinton New Era. DEAR Bin,—Will you kindly oblige me by informing your verbose correspondent who signs himself in your issue of Actg. 11th "Angus McLeod," that he is mistaken in the identity of the News Reoord scribe, I am not on the staff of that paper, and only once did anything from my pen ap- pear in its columns, namely a few doggerel verses- in fact that is the sum total of my printed work for the last 12 months. As it is a pity far so gifted a writer as he wast- ing his talent on the wrong party. With regard to my religion, all that I have to say is better a thousand times an avowed sceptic than an uneophietioatod hypocrite. I am obliged to him for his advice and thank him forjt; with me advice is ever welcome, for even a wise man can some- times learn of a foot.
