THEY ALL LIRE IT.—Renewing his subscription to the NEw ERA, Mr Jas. Lobb, of Galt, says : I enjoy the l' weekly visit of the NEW ERA, with its home news, church news, and short, spicy religious items, etc." MODEL FARM ExcuRSION.—The ex- cursion to the Model Farm, on Satur- day, was well patronized by the people of this section. At Goderich 79 tickets were sold; at Holmesville, 60; at Clin- ton 170; at Seaforth, 30. " The taiain ar- rived at Guelph in good time, and the ti•excurslonists were shown about the farm by Prof. Mills and staff, the visit - i ors no doubt picking up a number of agricultural pointers. The return trip wasmade in good time. ACCIDENT.—Mr John Pickett met with a painful accident on Thursday ~•,evening, which, fortunately, was not attended with any serious results. He was riding a horse in a field, without bridle or halter, having in his hand a pail with a few nails in it. The rattle of these startled the horse, and it ran away, throwing him off. When his son, who was in the field reached him, it was thought he was dead, but a very severe shaking up was all that occurred. DEATH. — The heart of this entire community will go out in sympathy to the Rev. A. Stewart and wife, in the bereavement they have suffered by the loss of their eldest son, at the age of 12 years. He has been in delicate health for some time, and it was known that his ailment would be fatal, but he has been able to go around as usual, and was visiting atKlppen when taken with the illness which resulted in his death, his parents being with him before he died. The funeral takes place from the Manse, on Saturday, at 2.30 p.m. A WARNING.—For some time the authorities of the Grand Trunk R.R. have been greatly annoyed by boys in- kuring or ;removing property of one ind or another, and in order to make an example, information was laid against two boys on Saturday, charg- ing them with malicious injury to an engine which had been left upon a fiat car. The matter was laid before the Mayor,whn, as a warning, assessed the boys the costs of the damage done, and the costs of the court, $3.50 each, or two weeks in jail. The boys' fathers paid the amount. PERRONAL- Robt. Mdtliieon, jc.; " of Belleville,was a caller at the NEW ERA office last week; he is a son of the Superintendent of the Deaf and Dumb r Institute, Belleville, and had come west in charge of pupils who were coming home to their holidays. Mr Mathison was formerly the owner of a job printing office in Vancouver, and while there became acquainted with Mr Andrew Porter,- now of Clinton Post Office, who was greatly pleased to see him. Mr Mathison was an old friend of Mr Samuel Hill, formerly of town, and he went out to see him, at the residence of Mrs Thos. Hill, Hul- lett. Mr Hill, by the way, was a pas- senger on the first through train on the C.P.R. WEDDED.—An event that has been anticipated for some time, and which is always regarded as the most import- ant andinteresting in life, occurred at the residence of Mrs Andrews, Mary street, on Thursday, 20th inst., when her eldest daughter, Millie, was mar- ried to Mr Ben3. J. Gibbings. Both are exceedingly popular residents of town, and the expressions of good will received by the bride are a tangible evidence of this fact. The bride was assisted by Misses Mattie Shipley and L. Gibbings, while Messrs R. Andrews and G. Gilchrist supported the gr oom. Rev Wm. Smyth performed the cere- mony. The young couple, amid the congratulations of many friends; left on a wedding tour to Detroit, after which they will settle down in town. FIRE --The house owned and occu- pied by Mr John Colclough, on Huron street west, was discovered to be on fire early Wednesday morning. The building is a somewhat old brick one, and the whole interior was burned out. When discovered the fire was in the the upper story. Mr Oolclough has ► been in poor health, and his son got up in the night and heated some water for him, and it is thought that the fire • must have originated in some way - therefrom. Mr Colclough and his son lived in the lower part, and saved some of the furniture. There was an insur- ance of $700 on the building, $500 in one company and $200 in another, and $100 on the contents. The firemen were called out a second time, later in • the day, to check the flames, which had spread to a rear shed, although ap- parently put out on the first occasion. BIIRNED TO DEATH.—A Cleveland daily of last week says:—"Little Muriel Snell was burned, through the careless handling of flre-works, Monday, and her death occurred Wednesday even- ing. She was the daughter of A. J. 4 ..Snell, of the O. D. Myer Co., whose home is at 21 Bolton Ave. She was an •exceptionally bright child, and the pet • ,of the neighborhood. A deaf mute boy was exploding fireworks Monday Afternoon, and Muriel watched the Celebration. A contrivance like a Ro- man candle, which the boy bad ob- tained as a prize in a penny package of candy, was fired, and the sparks ig- ofted the little girl's clothing. Her cries soon brought assistance, but be- • . fore the flames were extinguished more than half her body had been burned, and her injuries proved fatal. She Was nearly four years old." Mr Snell formerly resided at Wingham, and he Is a nephew of Mr Thos. Jackson. His "bereavement is.pparticulatly sad, being the second inside of two months. O131~^Esg,,-.We have been favored with a liberal sample of cheese made at the IJ;Qlulesvllle Cheese Factory, and have 1119 hesitation in saying that it equals axiytl111ig of the same make WQ lafttY0: gVerAsetcd, The factory is already•an assured success, and there should be no difficulty whatever in finding a ready market for all that is 'manufactured. The factory is evident- ly under flret-class management. ROYAL TEasrla$s.—The R. T. of T. Lodge wet last Tuesday evening, and held their send -annual election of of- ficers. The following were elected to office, viz.: S. Councillor, Jas.'Youn ; P. Councillor, Rev J. W. Holmes; V, Councillor, S. Oudmore; Chaplain, D. Steveneon; Rec. Secy., L. Hamilton; Fin. Secy., F. Bakes; Treas., E. South- combe; Herald, Geo. Noble; Guard, J. Tebbutt; Sentinel, L. Brown; Organist, A. Howe. The Order was organized last fall, and now has a good member- ship, who are doing their little to for- ward temperance. THOSE APPEALS.—At the last meet- ing of the Town Council, several -per- sons owing farm lands, appealed to have them assessed as such under a new provision of the Statue. The ap- peals were referred to a special com- mittee, consisting of the Mayor, Clerk, Deputy Reeve, and Councillors Searle, McKenzie, and McMurray, who met last Friday to consider them. The law compels such lands to be exempt from the rates levied for street watering, lighting and sidewalk. Each appeal was dealt with separately, and where buildings are erected on any of the lands, these were taken at a fair valua- tion and then a reduction made accord- ingly. The net reduction of taxes that will be made on the assessment roll is about $75. The committee will make their report to the next meeting of council, which will probably ratify it. The appellants. if` not satisfied, have then 14 days in which to make an appeal to the County Judge. NOTES.—Perhaps the prettiest tree to be seen in town is one on the lawn of Mr G. D. McTaggart; it is not a large tree, but has been beautifully trimmed, and is "round as an apple." It is reported, and we believe the re- port to be true, that Mr Geo. Shipley will next week enter the state of ma- trimony; the lady resides in Eastern Ontario, and we extend our congratu- lations in advance. Mr Cook, for some time with S. S. Cooper, has taken the foremanship of a Large shop at South- ampton. Sides chosen from the Organ Factory employees, and captained by R. Downs and H.

The Marine Band, which is connected with the Sal- vation army, made a visit here last week. Mr John McMur•ray,and family were present at the wedding of their neice, Miss 'Sproat, Egmondville, on Wednesday. The other day, while the team of Mrs Whitehead was being hitched up, they started before the dri- ver had got the lines, and smashed the buggy somewhat before they were stopped. Mr Wm. Cantelon is away this week on a butter -buying expedi- tion. An adjourned meeting of the Public School Board was held on Fri- day evening, but beyond deciding to advertise for fresh tenders, nothing was done; the board will meet again to- night. Mr Hutchison, of Nile, has rent- ed the house of Mr Dempsey, and will move to town. The new stable for the Mason House was raised on Wednes- day. Master John Forrester is expect- ed home from the old country to -mor- row. Mr. Crystal, Goderich, is over- hauling the engine of Cooper's planing mill.
