Cudmore, of Kippen, (brother-in-law of Mr George Davis) is one of the best known and most highly respected men in the ' county of Huron, he having been en- gaged in both cattle and hay exporting, and his many friends will learn with deep regret that he is likely to lose very heavily—about $4,000—by the - failure of a man in London,withwhom he has been dealing. r • 1. ' - wr'': 'i lv datlghters, Mrs Jaynes Aitken and Miss Penfound, of town, and two sons in Stanley. LINT [OBTAINMENT. --The X. P. S. of Willis church, have secured the ser- vices of :Vise Pauline ,G, Johneton, and Mr Gwen Smily, for an evening enter- tainment, to be given in the town hall next Thursday, Feb. 28. Wherever they have been, they are spoken of very highly indeed, and a large aud- ience should greet then here. The press speak of both in terms of unstint- ed praise', and a good entertainment is promised our people. . TEACHERS' EXECUTIVE.—The Exe- cutive Oommittee of both East and West Huron Teachers' Associations met here on Saturday last, to ar- range for ajoint meeting of the asso- ciations. There were present Messrs Tom, Strang and Halls, Goderich; Mus- grove, Wingharn; Donagh and Shearer, Howick; Lowery, Hullett; Robb, Clin- ton; Holman, Delgatty and Mrs Robb, from the south. It was decided to hold a union meeting of both associations, in Clinton, on the 22nd and 23rd of May next, with a public meeting on the first evening. An effort will be made to secure the services of Prof. Bigsby, of Detroit, (an elocutionist of note, for the convention. FORESTERS' SUPPER.—It seems to have become an established custom for fraternal societies to hold annually a sort of friendly re -union in the shape of a supper, and we do not know of any better way in which good -fellow- ship can be developed. Court No. 470, Independent Order of Foresters gave one of these pleasant affairs in the Ccuncil Chamber, on Thursday even- ing last, which was well attended, and was most enjoyable. After those pres- ent had partaken of all the oysters, etc. they desired, the chair was taken by Mr Geo. Swallow, (Chief -Ranger Rogers being too modest) and he made an excellent chairman, giving a short address on the progress and standing of the order, which has a reserve fun of considerably over one million dol- lars in the treasury, - Rev. S. Acheson, of Klippen, (Grand Chaplain) gave an excellent address, and was followed by Messrs Holmes and Todd. Miss M. Washington and Miss M. Doherty gave recitations, Mrs Hoover, Mr and Mrs Bruce, Mr Holloway and MrShunk, all ably assisted in the musical part of the program. GOOD TEMPLARS. — Arrangement for the open meeting to be held on th evening of Friday, March lst, are being apidly completed. The lodge ha been fortunate enough to secure Mr J C. Murdock, District Chief Templar who is well known in Temperance circles and throughout the province generally, as one of the ablest orator in the cause. In addition toanaddres by Mr Murdock, which no one can of ford to miss, there will be an excellent program of singing and readings, in which the following are expected to take part:—Messrs.Shunk and Downs, E. Jervis and J. Holdsdorth. This ar- ray of talent will be strengthened, it is hoped, by other singers and musicians, who are well and favorably known to Clinton audiences. A silver collection will be taken at the door. Further particulars will be given next week. The regular meeting on Friday night was rendered pleasant by the present- ation of the following prngramme:— Instrumental by Miss M. Goodwin, duet Misses Miller and Goodwill, solo Miss E. Kinsman, mouth organ solo Mr Jas. Foster, instrumental Miss H. Whitely. The following are a program committee for the coming regular meeting—Misss Beadle, Miss Kinsman and Mr C. Cook.

Hale, Esq., who was an intimate personal friend of her father, Chief Johnston, of the Six Nation In- dians, and published a history of his life in book form. Mr W. Coats was in Goderich this week in his capacity as County Auditor. Mr Polly, of Goderich, is buying horses in this neighborhood for the old country mar- ket. Miss Ida Walsh, of.the London road, returned on Monday from Gode- rich, after a two months' visit with her sister, Mrs Snarling.The Hullett Ag- ricultural Society had a membership last year of 357, being more than twice as many as any other township society in the West Riding. The Royal Tem- plars here did not send anydelegate to the Grand Council at Wodstock on Tuesday. Mr Eph. Butt, of the base line, was last week on a visit to his brother, Rev. W. H. Butt, Centralia. Referring to the ultimate removal of the Downs Bros. from Mitchell, the Recorder of last week says:—"The Downs brothers were very decent fel- lows and good citizens, but the com- munity was too well supplied with merchant tailors before they came." Mr Stevens, assessor, has commenced his duties. Mr Isaac Prout was in Goderich on Tuesday. A large photo, taken during the recent International Gun contest at Hamilton, shows the features of Dr. Blackall and Ed. Can- telon, Clinton, and J. Dodds, Seaforth, as among the crack shots of the world. We are glad to hear that Mr J.B. Rum - ball, who has been on the si 'k list for some Utile,. is improving. Clinton has still another doctor, it will he quite a while before he is competent to prac- tice; his name is Gunn. Mr George Theobald is removing his family to Embro, where he is principal of the school. We understrnd that Mr and Mrs Geo. Westcott purpose leaving town shortly to take pp their residence with friends of the latter. Miss Eva Stevenson accidently ran a pin in her arm the other day, and for a time ser- ious results were anticipated, but the injury is now over. Collector White- ley has disposed of his pony to Mr O. Johnston. Mr I. E. Cantelon had the misfortune to have his dcg Dandy poisoned by some unknown person the other day. Miss Lizzie Gorrel is con- fined to her room by a severe attack of bronchitis.

He has a large staff beneath him. It may not be known, but such is the fact, that he is a Huron boy, having been born in the township of Usborne, and if we are not mistaken his father is a resident of Exeter now. There are a number of Huronians employed in Toronto schools. How ACCOUNTS GROW.—About 30 years ago a man in this vicinity ob- tainedudgment against a debtor for $325. The debtor was unable to pay, but the claim was continually renewed, . and although in later years the debtor '` was in a position to pay, the claim was never presented until handed to the executors recently. In the meantime it has grown to about 5800, the accum- ulated interest bringing it up to this amount, and the claim is one that may have to be paid. FISHERY INSPECTOR.—During the fall some of the Bayfield fishermen had their boats and nets seized, while fish- ing up the lakes, for some infraction of the fishing regulations. They were allowed to retain their nets, on giving bonds for their security, but the boats `were retained under seizure. Last -week Mr Briggs, of Paisley, who is a Dominion Fishery Inspector, came -here and was taken to Bayfield by De- puty -Reeve Kennedy, to investigate the matter. After inquiries had been made, and communication had with the Government, it was decided, so we are informed, to release the beats and destroy the nets. THE ROADS.—Mr Kennedy has been kept on the hustle during the last few days, as chairinan of the Street Com- mittee, it Being necessary almost every day to keep men at the northern or southern limit of the town, to look after the pitch -holes, which have been very bad, but the town has kept its portion of the road in pretty good shape. Some of the country roads are so bad with pitch -holes as to make travelling exceedingly unpleasant; ata funeral, on Monday, the hearse was upset and the glass in it broken, ow- ing to the roughness of the road; the townships should see to it that roads . are passable. DISTRICT LODGE. — The quarterly meeting of the District Lodge LO.G.T. met in Blyth, on Friday, District Tem- plar W. G. Murdoch in the chair. Out of the 17 lodges in the district, 9 were represented, with an attendance of about 60, which was very good, con- sidering the state of the roads. There are 709 reported members in the dis- trict, with a new lodge opened and an- other re -organized, representing about 50 members more. The interest and membership shows a decided improve- ment since the last meeting. Clinton lodge was represented by Mr A. Coop- er and Mr J. Wes. Moore. Mr Dawson, of Kincardine, District Lecturer, was present, and assisted in the proceed - Ings. Mr Bond Lawrason, who has been District Secretary for some years, is likely to remove from the bounds of the district ere long. The members of Blyth Lodge entertained the visiting members in splendid style. Next meet- ing will be held in Constance, date to be fixed by the executive. DEATHS.— We regret to announce the death of Mr Wm. McIver, which oc- curred on Sunday morning, from stone- cutter's consumption. Deceased was a young man, but had been working at the stone -cutter's trade for a number of years, which superinduced his ail- ment. He was a native of Rosshire, Scotland, anti came here about ten years ago; a very quiet, industrious and respet.ted citizen; a member of Willis Presbyterian church, and a Lib- eral politically. ffe leaves a wife and two children to mourn the loss of a good fathe . He was the last survivor of 40 you g men who learned their trade to her, carried an insurance of $1,000 i the North American Life and h $100 benefits in the Stone - Gutter's Union. The father of Rey. J. H. Fairlie died near Brantford, on Monday; further farticulars.we have been unable to get.

During the past week carpenters and painters have been busy remodeling the interior of our store, and by the time the NEW ° ERA is in the bands of its leaders, they will have finished. The old office and work room have been taken out, together with the dress goods shelv- ing and counters directly in the rear' of the shop, and a new office and work room, with an ornamental wood andjalass front, has been built across the full width of the rear end of the store. The alterations necessitate the changing around of some of our departments, and you will now find the Dress Goods, Man- tles, &c., in the Rattenbury St. wing, where we will have more counter room and much better light to display the goods. The Millinery, Ribbons, &c. will be found directly above the steps in the space for- merly occupied by the Dress Goods de- partment and office. A large window to be cut in the rear wall as soon as the weather permits, will insure plenty of light for this department, so it will not suffer by the change. You will find the alterations greatly improve the appearance of the interior of the store, and will make shopping much more con- venient for you. New Goods ara being opened every day now, and are ready for you to look at, at any time, whether you wish to purchase now or not. Est, J, Hodgens, IATrip... Through our Manufacturing Department . A; this season of the year during February and March, the great bulk of our ready for -use Clothing is made up. Among the many vines being made this year, to our mind the mcst interesting one, both as regards to style and quality of the material, is a line of Men's Suits to erell at $12. This suit, in view of the'rigid°economy that most of us have to practice at present, will, we feel confident, be sold very readily this spring, for in point of fit, make and fabric it is equal in every way to many suits sold to order at $18 and over. Now, this is no miracle we have worked by any means, but simply the result of being able to purchase goods at a season when the majority of merchants did not and could not buy any, and further, purchasing imported Cloths at exactly $1.55 a yard less than the same material cost one year ago, This will explain, as many already have ascertained, the almost in- credible drop in peices that seems to have reached almost every branch of mercantile life. And happy is the merchant who finds his stock in such a state as to be able to take advantage of the snaps in cloth now to be offered. This we have fortunately been sole to do with the result, in a word, that The 57 Suits, The 510 Suits, The 53 Pants, The 52 Pants. Will be made of such a quality of material as never heretofore had been dreamed oif in the manufacture of our ready modes; it will pay every man who is seeking reliable goods at low prices to first see what we offer, and we confidently predict to his and our satisfaction.
