Agricultural Society will be held in the
Council chamber,onTuesday afternoon
next, at 2 o'clock, to make arrange-
ments for the fall fair.
ACCIDENT,—The other day, while Mr
Jacob Miller was unharnessing a horse,
it started cavorting 'around the yard,
stricking a pitchfork which stood by,
and knocking ft into the air. It struck
Mr Miller's leg in falling,two of the
prongs making a painful flesh wound.
SCHOOL BOARD.—Ther g a meet-
ing of the school board was held on
Monday night. Seven tenders for furn-
aces were received, and six for excava-
tions, but all were left over to a special
meeting, to be held this (Friday) even-
, ing. Principal Lough's repo rt showed
an average attendance of 422.
PEOPLE WHO TRAVEL.—W. Higgins

children for Charles Town, Iowa, Mrs"
Kitt and family' for Neepawa, Man.,
Mrs T. Walker for Newson, Kansas,
Henry Simons for Vancouver, and W.
Sharpe and family for Capae, Mich.,
%were passengers tickited by.W. Jack-
son during the past week.
.ALIVE ANP WELL—While the World's
Fair was in progress word was received
here that Mr Harry Bowers, (br"other
of Messrs Charles andWill Bowers)was
killed in an -e ,plo fon. Everything
was dope at the ,thine to find out the
facts or his whereabouts, but in vain,
and nothing had been heard of him un-
til the other day he gave the family an
agreeable surprise by making them a
visit, Harry looks hail, hearty and
jolly, as ever.
SICK.— Mr Chas. Coats, of Chicago,
son of Mrs Wm. Coats, sr., is very sick
with typhoid fever. We are sorry to
learn that Mr J. B. Rumball, who,with
his family, went to Goderich to enjoy
the lake„ breezes, was confined to his
bed, but is now better. Miss Kate
Scanlon took cold after having the
` --i eas'les; and- 'lies since been very sick.

FAITHFUL EMPLOYEES. — Twenty-
three years ago the editor of the NEW
ERA was a moaibet of the mechanical
staff of the London Free Press. At the
same time four other members of the
staff were Aleck Bremner,Jack Dewar,
Fred Yelland and Jim Lindsay. Each
of these four have remained continu-
ously with the Free Press, but have all
been advanced to more responsible po-
sitions, showing that their fidelity and
faithfulness is appreciated and in a
hurried visit to the Free Press office
the other day, the NEW ERA represen-
tative received a cordial welcome from
one and all.
DEATH.—Clinton has experienced a
number of unusually sad deaths dur-
ing the past few months, and another
is added to the list, in that of Mr Jas. A.
E.L. Fortune, eldest scn of Mr Thos. L.
Fortune. A most promising young
man, of genial bearing, he was a gen-
eral favorite in town, and his death,
caused by typhoid fever, just as he was
on the threshold of manhood,. is ex-
ceedingly sad. His illness had been of
short duration, but a delicate constitu-
tion was unable to bear the strain.
He was assistant librarian of the On-
tario. Street Sabbath School, the mem-
bers of which sent a beautiful floral
basket, surmounted by a dove; his for-
mer employers and employees of the
Dry Goods Palace sent a handsome flor-
al harp. Mr Fortune has the sym-
pathy of the town in his severe bere-
avement.
COUNTY COUNCIL. — The December
meeting of the county council will be
held in Clinton. The town may thank
our genial friend, Mr W. H. Kerr, of
Clinton, who used his influence and
ability to have the meeting here. The
House of Retuge being completed by
that time, it was thought advisable for
the council in a body to visit the insti-
tution, and aside trom that, they will
save half a day and mileage (10c a mile)
from Clinton to Goderich for tin ee-
quarters of the councillors, which
means a big savingto the county. Our
representatives, Messrs Kennedy and
Cantelon, were not slow to offer the
use of the town hall, and guaranteed
the hotel as good accommodation as
could be had in any town. We have
no doubt but that the councillors will
find Clinton most advantageously situ-
ated for the council meetings.
CONCERT.—The concert, on Friday
evening,held under the auspices of St.
Paul's curch Guild, was a decided suc-
cess. The stage was beautifully decor-
ated with flowers, pictures, draperies,
etc., and there was a large and appre-
ciative audience. Mrs Orr has a tine
voice, and rendered her selections to
perfection, some of which were accom-
panied by herself on the harp. The
singing of Master Willie Wilson was
the feature of the evening, and was
listened to with wonder and delight by
the entire audience; his voice is clear
and sweet, and has great compass for a
boy of his years. Mrs Hunt has a rich
*memo soprano voice, and her singing
wag much appreciated. Miss Lolo
Miller, in her usual good style, sang an
appropriate song. Mr Halpenny, who
has a reputation as a comic singer,
gave a selection that every one enjoy-
ed. Misses H. Combe and E. Ferran
setidered an instrumental duet in ex-
cellent style. Miss McHardy played
all the accompaniments with pleasure
to alt. $30 over expenses were the
proceeds -of the evening.

and everything points to the fact that
examinations are near. The pupils
who will present themselves at the de-
partmental and ;university examina-
tions, number 84. ° They are apparently
alive to the fact that industry at this
season well becomes thein. But every
one at the Collegiate realizes the value
of some sport and athletic exercise.—=
Accordingly football is the popular a-
musement at recess and dinner time.
On Monday evening the third eleven
played the flax mill team. The match
was well contested, but neither side
scored. We are looking forward to a
good time on Saturday. It is expected
that there will be two and perhaps
three matches played in the park here.
The first match will be between Wing -
ham and Clinton, the next between
Blyth and Clinton, and if possible a
third match will be arranged between
Wingham and Blyth. The arrange-
ments are in the hands of a good com-
mittee, and every effort is being made
to make the whole event a very plea-
sant one.
ROAD GRADER—On Tuesday MrBar-
ber, representing the Copp Manufac-
turing Co., of Hamilton, gave an exhi-
bition of the working of a road grader.
A new street on the western lirnit of
Mr Fair's farm, where no previous
work had been done, was taken as the
place of test, and it was easily demon-
strated that the machine will do all
that is claimed for it in the way of
grading up a road. • Two team of horses
are used, and the work done was in all
respects satisfactory, and done much
more quickly than in the ordinary way.
Some grading was also done on Shipley
street. A special meeting of the Coun-
cil was held on Wednesday night, to
consider the advisability of purchasing
one for use in town, but the Council
decided to defer the matter for the pre-
sent. The price of the machine is $235,
and we understand that Hullett Coun-
cil has bought the one tested here. It
is a machine that should be in use by
every municipality, and will, no doubt,
be generally introduced, as it leaves a
road in better shape than can be done
by the ordinary method of roadwork.
HOUSE OF REFUGE OFFICIALS—The
Goderich Signal says:—The selection of
William Coats, of Clinton, as inspector
of the House of Refuge, is a good one;
he is well qualified in head and heart
for the duties of the office. This is a
sentiment that will be endorsed by all
here. Mr. French,the Superintendent,
has-the.name,of being in every respect
well qualified for the pesitIon; he is a
strangers in:.:this_-vicinity, but is higy, ly.,
spoken of by all acquainted with hon.
The Exeter Advocate says:—We cons
gratulate Mr and Mrs French on their
appointment, and we think no better
choice could have been made; kind
hearted as they are, the poor of the
county will, without any doubt, re-
ceive best of treatment and attention.
To our mind the County Council made
a grave mistake in the appointment of
the Medical Superintendent; we have
not a particle of fault to find with Dr.
Campbell, of Seaforth,as a practitioner;
his well-earned reputation stands for
itself; but we think he is located too far
away, because, when a doctor is called
in, he is usually wanted as quickly as
possible.
NOTES—Mr Thomas Jackson, sr., has
given his stores on Huron street a coat
of white paint, which greatly improves
their appearance. The government
experiment orchard sprayer will be at
Mr Weir's, on Saturday, June 15, at 10
a.m. A couple of loads of young peo-
ple took a pleasure drive to Bayfield
Monday evening. Nis excursion to the
Model Farm takes place to -morrow,
Saturday. A young man was assessed
$2 and costs the other day, for striking
another with his fist. Mr Ed and Miss
Pickett were called to Parkhill, Mon-
day, owing to their mother's illness.—
Mrs C. Overbury was called to St
Thomas this week, owing to the death
of her brother. Mr J. H. Callander,
son-in-law of Mr S.Davis, has gone into
poultry on an extensive scale, starting
the Hartney poultry yards, Manitoba.
Mr. David Cook is about to erect a ve-
neer brick stable to the rear of his store;
Cantelon & Hill will likely do the ma-
sonry. Mrs Jcs. Brownlee, has rented
one of the Andrews houses on Queen
Street, and will move thereto. A man
pretending to have a sore arm was cor-
ralled by Chief Wheatley, on Monday,
who gave him ten minutes to get out of
town, and he got. Mr Blackall was
present at a meeting of the Northern
Veterinary association, at Stratford,
on Tuesday. To facilitate street wa-
tering Mr Miller has erected a large
tank; he has gone to considerable ex-
pense this year in fitting up his appa-
ratus, and making it as efficient as pos-
sible Rev. W. Stout attends the semi-
annual meeting of the county Orange
Lodge, and the lodge of instruction of
I.O.O.F., at Hensall, to -day, Friday.—
Mr Brown Marquis shipped a car of
hogs, on Tuesday. Mrs John Mcllroy,
of Morris, bought a beautiful Ben Hur
cycle, on Tuesday, from Mr Emerson,
for her daughter. A good downpour
of rain would be decidedly acceptable.
At the meeting of the General Assem-
bly of the Presbyterian Church, in
London, this week, Huron Presbytery
is represented by four clergymen and
four elders. Miss Muriel Redmond, a
former Clintonian, has become Mrs H.
P. Toms, of Winnipeg; the Free Press
ofgthat city, says:—Mr and Mrs Toms
are both well known here, and the large
number of presents received by them
evinces their popularity. The New
ERA sends Its congratulations. Mr R.
Fitzsimons killed a spring lamb the
other day, raised by T. Fairservice,
Hullett, which dressed 52 lbs. Mrs

UMBRELLAS
In these days when so much is made and thought of the
fashionable and attractive, sometimes the mistake of sacrific-
ing comfortable and sensible ideas creep in. To our mind
there is a wrong idea abroad that it looks effeminate and
womanly to carry an umbrella except it rains; on the con-
trary, it is a sensible man who carries an umbrella habitually.
He never gets wet, he is never sunstrnck
The prices of this useful article range from 50C to $6,
The 52.25 Umbrella is one that is sure to stand sun or
