GRAIN THRESHERS' MEASURES.—
"To be forewarned is to be' forearmed."
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.

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.

RATHER ANNOYING.—An amusing,
yet annoying, circumstance occurred
m totyn the other day. 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. Mason,
at Stapleton, who has been almost at
the point of death for several days,
died on Wednesday. Mr Wm. Cook,
of Flint, Mich., (son of Mr Walter
Cook, formerly of• Clinton,) had the
misfortune last week to lose three
children by diphtheria. Mr E. 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

out scene excellent ladders and like con-
veniences. Messrs. Ransford are offer-
ing their '10 acre property on the out-
skirts of Goderich for sale; it could be
converted". lntb a tine fruit farm or some-
thing of a similar nature. Eighty tick-
ets were sold at Clinton station, for

NOTES, --our enterprising woollen

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.
Nearly every day,we meet some farmer
• —and just as many of them Conserva--
tives as lookingg -for ra is eduction rof the tare iff
that /ill offer to them a better market
than hey now possess.
Miss Frank Welsh, who has been teaching
down near Sarnia, is visiting old friends here;
she has purchased from Mr A. Cooper a beauti-
ful lady's cycle, which she will hike back with
her.

taken up their residence in town. Mrs Morris
is a daughter of Mrs D. Cantelon, Queen St.,
and Mr Morris has got a situation with Mr T.
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

tor of Bruce Avenue Baptist Church,

by the ysung man into a secluded

would perform the ceremony. The
boat by this time was in Lake St. Clair
and as the minister did not know whe-
ther or not they were in Canadian wa-
ters, he persuaded the young man to
wait until Walpole Island was reached.

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. Let him rejoice in
his rustic innocence arid hope he may never
see as much• of the outside world. as I have
seen, but continue as Shakeepear- says, to
"think his little sect the world," ,and then
perchance "clouds" and "bias"will not
come his way. Yours as ever,'.W.MILLER.
