OHvxon. - The.' second quarterly meeting of the Methodist church, for this year,will be held on Sunday, Nov. 3rd, Rev G. W. Andrews will preach a special sermon, next Sunday even- ing, in the church, to the Royal Tem- plate of this place. FA,RliIRENTED.—Welearn that MrW. Murch has rented the farm of Mr Isaac Brownlee, on the base line, Hullett, for a term of five years; he will remove to that place short,lp, We regret this fact, as }n Mr and MVlrs Murch we will lose valuable help in the Sunday School: CHEESE.—Our cheese factory closed on Saturday last, and Mr Johnson, the popular cheesemaker has been engaged again for next year. We congratulate the directors fol having secured the services of such at: efficient man, who has, during the past season, raised our factory to such an enviable reputation. There is yet about 350 cheese for sale. NOTES.—The funeral of the late Still - will Phipps last Saturday, was largely attended; the widow and family have the sympathy of the neighborhood in their sad bereaveme t. Mr T. Murch is moving some ofis eitects to the Walsh farm this week. Miss Addie Stephenson is visiting her grandmo- ther, Mrs Elcoat, Tuckersmith, for a couple of weeks. Mrs and Fred Mul- holland returned from Chicago on Tuesday. The Royal Tempiars will meet next Monday night; F. Elford's side will give their program. Mrs J. Holmes still continues very low. Mr and Mrs Elford spent a few days this week visiting the former's sister, Mrs A. K. Birks, in Teeswater. The iron- mongers have gone to Smith's Hlll; they have succeeded in getting quite a pile in this neighborhood. From another correspondent RATHER CHEEKY.—The party who took a mouldbourd from under the gangway leading to the waggon shop, a short time since, is advised to return the same at once. The mould is of a superior pattern, and as only a couple of bolts were required to attach it to the plow, it was not necessary to take it to the blacksmith to have it fitted. If not returned at once further pro- ceedings will be taken, as the owner knows of its whereabouts. Brucefield RETURNED.—Mr V. Diehl, who has been on a visit to his three married daughters in Manitoba, returned on Saturday. He enjoyed the trip very much, and found his sons-in-law all reaping good crops, some of them, however, slightly touched by the frost. NoTEf.—Mrs Fred Long, of London, is visiting at the home of her father, Mr Jatnieson. A number from our village went to Hensall on -Friday, the night of their fire; among those in our neighborhood who had flax in the mill barn burned were Mr Wm. Berry,who lost $200, and Mr Chapman, sr., who lost $150. The remainder of the cheese in the factory here was sold this week to a Montreal firm. Mr Wm. Berry sold his stock on Saturday afternoon last. RESIGNED.—Miss Hamilton has re- signed her position as teacher, which will take effect at the new year. The section is sorry to part with her, as she has •. prcved herself a splendid teacher. She has secured another po- sition in a school near her home in Blyth, (Another correspondent) NOTES—Mrs W. Adams is visiting in andaround Hanover. MrsFred Long,of London, is visiting at the home of Mr J. B. Jamieson. Mrs Robt. Boyce, and Miss Mary Gibson, are visiting in London and vicinity. Messrs. Wm. Fotheringham and B. R. Higgins are attending the Provincial Sunday School Convention in .Col onto this week. Mr Fotheringham went as a delegate from Union Church Sunday School. Rev W. Muirreached in Bayfield on Friday. Mr Woodley, whose barns were destr oyed by fire a short time ago, purposes putting up one large barn. Mr Berry, whose term had expired, has leased the farm again for a number of years. LIVERY.—So great has been the de- mand for livery rigs in our town, that a new firm to be known as Jarvis & Kennedy has opened a barn. Believ- ing that it is best to begin on a small scale, and -increase their outfit as trade grows, they began with one horse, which however, is an old ringer, and has a mark which most of our horse- men would like their equines to have. The new firm was destined to learn early in its existence that no enter prise is launched without some inconvenien- ces. The very first night someone broke into the barn and carted off a bag of oats. Goderich Township ILL.—Mrs Pannebaker, of the 16th con„ is very ill, suffering from a para- lytic stroke. As she' is up in years it may go hard with her. HUSKING BEE.—Between forty and fifty of the young people gathered at the barn of W. Stirling, of the 6th con., one evening last week, and husked over 200 bushels of corn, for which he is much obliged. GooD WORK.—There are more than Irishmen who can handle big potatoes. An old roan who lives on the Maitland, over 80' years of age, with two boys, one day last week forked out, bagged up and stored in the cellar, over 86 bushels of potatoes in 6} hours. FARM RENTED.—Mr G. Laithwaite, of the Maitland, has rented from his uncle what is known as the Blake farm, on the Huron road, and expects to take up his residence thereon at no distant date. This means also that he will secure the assistance of a most estimable young -lady on the Maitland to help him look after it.

Mr W. Riddell, who has been in Mani- toba and the North-west territory for a visit, returned last week; he reports good crops generally, but some of them touched by frost; he left Mani- toba, fearing that he would be caught by cold weather, and was surptised to find a slight coat of snow covering the ground here. The four year old child of Mr Geo. Farquhar died on, Sunday. Varna. NOTE.—Mr Geo. Haxby and friend, Mr Kilty, from Clinton, spent a couple of days in visiting their friends here, and scouring the country for prey.

Epworth League is still active, and the Leagues are doing noble work for God; all are invited to attend the meeting every Wednesday, commencing at 7.30 p.m. NEw OFFICIAL.—It is reported that our Mayor, Mr T. Johnston, has re- signed his office in favor of Mr F. Keyes, on account of business affairs taking his attention to other places, though we give hien credit for dis- charging his duties so faithtully for such a long period. We , trust our vigorous, enthusiastic and enterprising young mayor will ably fill the position, of which we think he is quite capable of so doing. PROMOTION.—The following is the list of names of pupils who were suc- cessful in passing their examination :— Martha Keyes passed the Entrance. Sr. 3rd to 4th—Alfred Johns, Rhoda Reed, Percy Wanless, Willie Cook, Ethel Reed, Maggie Campbell. Jr. 3rd to Sr. 3rd—Oliver Keyes, Norman Pur- dy, Wilber Leech, Fannie McKenzie, Annie Reid.

Sr. 1 to Jr. part 2—Lloyd Moffatt, Ar- thur Johns, Bertha Cairns, Frank Mc- Kenzie, Darwin Bayes, Willie Reed, Chester Dunkin, Thos: Stinson. Ave- rage attendance, 45. JNO. HARNwELL, Teacher. ACCIDENTS.—While Mr S. Rathwell, jr., was driving up the Parr line to Varna, he was greatly shocked by the icollision of a buggy, which struck the cart with such force that he was im- i mediately landed out upon the ground. He claims to have given nearly the whole road, and that the accident was • result of carelessness of the other party, who is unknown. He escaped with a few bruises and a little shaking up, and gives no thanks to the other party for their assistance, as they did not even stop to see whether he was dead or alive. There is too much of this same kind of work practised by young fellows with swift horses, and if an example was made of some of them , it would be a lesson to others. While Mr W. Smith was driving Mr Cairns' horse through the village, it became unmanageable, throwing himself and three children of the latter into a small ditch. All escaped with little injury, though the rig was badly dam- aged; it would no doubt have been worse, but for the driver's gtit in stop- ping the horse. ill IR Ili■ h + i.;10iilltlu,�'lillp,ll' III'lllll I ,, Fowler is Fowler, Architects As the time is now at hand when the House of Refuge is to receive its inmates, a detailed desoription of the building will be of interest to our readers. It is hardly ne- cessary to reoapitulate all the steps which, atter many years' waiting and work, led to the establishment of the House of Refuge and farm as an asylum for those indigent or disabled inhabitants of the county whose circumstances force them, often even after a life of ceaseless industry, to look for their 'sustenance at the hands of their more for- tunate fellow -citizens. In the fine building which has been erect- ed for this purpose by the County of Huron, on the London road, half-a•mile south of Clinton, every detail which humanity could suggest, consistent with proper economy,for the care and comfort of those who are brought as inmates, has been attended to, and health, as well as ever other requisite, will be attended to in t, : use on the hill. The fine breezy situati' n cA ,, manding such county, forms a' fine oee only ornamenta- ement of its parts to 1 effect and give some - ental oharacter whioh (From photo by H. Footer) extensive views of th site for a building w tion can be the arra gain an arohi eotur what of the m should chew the public building. Owing to the restrictions imposed on the deaigeera by the official regulations, the height was limited to two stories; and great- er height was obtained for the elevation by keeping the basement as much as possible above the ground. The total length of the building is one hundred and twenty feet by a depth of for- ty three feet; behind this extends a wing thirty-six by thirty-nine the same height as the main building, and a one story addition as coal shed, etc., in rear. Cor- ridors run the full length of the building— North and South—on'each floor. The basement is nearly all covpred with cement concrete, even those portions which have wooden flnore have concrete ,.grouted under them. This flat is ozdapied by the boiler and room in con. nection therewith,lann- dry, and store room for near everything which can be kept under the house roof. The ends of the building are occu- pied by washrooms and lavatories; the front at each end being large, cheerful and light win- ter work rooms. Throughout the whole of the floors the full and oomplete separation of the -sexes has been care- fully provided for; each corridor having a screen and doors which are kept locked and ender the control of the mana- ger, who 000upies the centre portion of the building on each floor. The ground floor has the main entrance, vee - B. S. Cooper, Coptrsotorffa make, and are provided with non -corro- sive mattrasses. The manager has hie private bedroom in the centre, and has control of the stairway to the attic, in which is the steel water -tank from whish the supply is drawn for the purposes of the hoose, and which in its turn le supplied from the well by the pumping of the wind- mill. The design provides for the accommoda- tion of seventy-two inmates with very ample space, so that should occasion arise the number might be increased to very nearly one hundred, the only limit being the sleeping facilities as at present built; the kitchen, dining rooms, etc., providing for a larger number than will now occupy them. Future extensions will form wings to north and south of the main building, and be devoted to dormitories and private inmate's rooms. Plumbing of good quality has been in- troduced into the building, and baths and oloeets are on each floor where needed. In addition to the acoomodations of the house itself the building affords a small hospital, with a men's ward, women's ward, and lying-in ward. The hospital can be entirely isolated from the other part of the building. Thp low pressure steam, with Safford Radiators, is that adopted by the archi- tects as the means of warming the build- ing, the steam being generated in a large boiler built of Siemens and Dalziel steel plates, tested when built, up to 160 lbs, the heaviest pressure, however, will not exceed under any circumstances eight pounds, the automatic blow off valves fitted on every radiator provide for letting off steam at that pressure. The building has been erected ander the personal superintendence of one of the architects, J. Ades Fowler, of the firm of Fowler & Fowler, whose designs were chosen by the Committee out of nine sets sent in competition; it has been erected by Contractor Samuel S. Cooper, for the sum of $9,874, and the extra works involved are not of an extensive nature. The building, as now finished, is a plain, ser- viceable and substanti- al pile, built for use and for public purposes. It will remain a monu- ment to those who had the constructing of it, and whose names are destined to be handed down to posterity by a marble tablet, in a handsome hardwood frame, on which are in - 1 scribed the names of the Warden, Building CommitteeandCouncil, also County Officials, Architects and Contrac- tor The tablet is of Italian marble, 3x4 ft, OPER. supplied and engraved by Seale & 1"'over, marble dealers,Clinton. As far as possible local men have been employed and county materials used ; Wm. Wheatley and Steep excavated the site and put in the stones; Mr T. Walker did the masonry and concrete flooring; Messrs Heywood & Pryor the brickwork; Mears Seale & Hoover, the out atone; Messrs Grummett & Webb, the drainage and pipe laying; Mr John Croll, the plastering; Mr A. S. Chrystal, the tank, boiler and blacksmith work; Messrs. Harland Bros., the galvanized iron work; Messrs Hutson & Sons, of Toronto, the slating; MessrsHarper & Lee,Godericb, the plumbing; The Bennett &WrightCo,the steam heating; theContract- or himself taking thepainting and woodwork It is intended to light the building by electricity, and to have telephone connec- tion with the town system. The building is a credit to the county, and has been well constructed. It may not be perfect in all its details — few large buildings are—but that it is well built is shown by the work itself, and the fact that it is done much to the satisfaction of the architects. It says not a little for the enter- prise of a contractor so young in years as Mr Cooper, that he should be able to carry out successfully so large and important a contract. The hope of his friends is that the profit from the undertaking may be in harmony with the size of the building and responsibility involved. tibale, oentral ball and S. S. CO corridors,with a solid,substantial and easy - to -climb stairway up to the first flcor, all of hardwood, and this and the up- per floor are all laid in maple flooring, the narrowest being used in the kitchen. The room for the committee and general pur- pose is on the north side of the entrance, here also the doctor sees his patients, and so his dispensary is located in connection with this roofn. On the south side of the entrance is the sitting room for the man- ager and wife, and connected by sliding doors is their dining room, the two rooms forming one nioe apartment. The remain- der of the front at each end is occupied by the large day or sitting rooms for men and women, respectively; these are as sunny and bright as can be arranged. In the rear are the spacious dining rooms with adjoining rooms devoted to the occasional use of the very infirm; these communicate with the dining rooms by means of large folding doors, so that should there be need of a Targe apartment for Sunday services, concerts, etc., a large room can be soon formed. There are also email private rooms on this floor for aged couples or pay- ing inmates. At either end are also other stairways from the basement to the first floor. The first floor is filled with bedrooms of various sizes, in which the manager can dis- pose of the varying numbers of inmates. The beds are of Central Prison Industries NOT THE SAME.—We are glad to learn that the property burned at Elk- horn, Manitoba, by the prairie fires, and thought to belong to Mr J. Middle- ton, of Goderich township,was not the place owned by that gentleman. Mr and Mrs Middleton were both in the west when the fires occurred and the telegram in the papers naturally caused I some anxiety to the fatally here. 1 Cooper's Planing Mill and Factory burnt down. I1 is not only unusual but unfortunate that this issue of the NEW Ens should con- tain, at one and the tame time, an an- nouncement of the destruction by fire of one of the important industries of the town, while, at the same time, the pre- vionely-prepared article above is published, complimentary to the work of the same industry. Wednesday afternoon the plan- ing mill owned by Mr S. S. Cooper was a hive of industry, turning out work to com- plete building contracts still unfinished; the Game night at 11 o'aloek, it was a heap of smouldering ruins, every piece of mach- inery in it—and it was well stocked—com- pletely ruined. The fire was discovered at 10.30; the very nature of the building and ite contents were Ruch that it was impos- sible to cheek the flames; west of the build- ing considerable lumber was piled but the wind was blowing fiercely to the east, and thne the lumber escaped. On the east side, a short distance away, is Mr Geo. Emer- son', house, and it was only by prompt and hard work that it was saved, after be- ing on fire a couple of times. Mr Stevens' house to the south also bad a narrow escape. Mr S. S. Cooper was 'out of town at the time of the fire and only got baok yesterday. The workmen lose all their tools, as nothing whatever was saved. Quite a lot of finished material ready to go out was also destroyed. Mr Alex. Cooper went into the factory at nine o'clock, using no light, and at this time everything was all right. A man who passed, at 10 o'clock naw no sign of the fire, so that its origin is unknown. The property was valued at $6,000, and was only irieured for $2,000, one policy for $1,000 expiring the let of Nov. With his characteristic posh Mr Cooper goes at once to tradition to aeonre brick, of which the new factory will be built, to be completed before Ohriatmae;-A•- and in running order. Thio is the kind of enterprise and spirit the public like to see displayed under theoiranimetancee. "Your own Sem" desires to most cordially thank the firemen and others for the assistance they rendered. We will send the NEW ERA, and the weekly Globe, from now to 31st Dec., 1896, for $1.40 cash. Auburn. RE-ENGAGED—Mr D. Weir, assistant teacher of our public school, has been re-engaged for next year, at an advanc- ed salary. SUDDEN SUMMONS.—Last Friday Dr McLachlan rechived a telegram, in- forming him of the death of his bro- ther, who resides in the county of El- gin. On Monday Mrs McLachlan tele- graphed for the Dr to return home, their daughter Annie having taken se- riously ill; we are glad to be able to state that she is out of danger. Londesboro. SUCCESS.—The friends of our late pastor, Rev James Ferguson, now of Southampton., will be pleased to hear of his success in his present field, and that the work of God is plospering in his hand, and that souls are being brought to Christ through the ordinary preaching of the word, some fifteen or more having lately united as members of the visible church. The finances of the church are well sustained, as a re- sult of a special appeal for a large col- lection nearly $400 were put upon the plates. NOTES.—We are pleased to note that Mr R. Adams is rapidly recovering, and is now able to sit up and move around a little. Mr John Bell, of the Mansion House, is confined to his room on account of illness, as is also Mrs Haggitt and her daughter Libbie; we hope for their speedy recovery. Regu- lar meeting of Court Pride of the West No. 31 will be held to-night`E'riday); a large attendance of the members is requested, as matters of importance will come before the Court. Mr John Weymouth left on Monday on a visit to friends in Callendar, Mr H. Pingle left for Trout Creek, havingsecured work there. Mr Walter iddell re- turned from his trip to Manitoba, last Saturday morning. A number of the villagers and people of the surrounding country purpose visiting the C. P. R. exhibition car, which is to be at the station to -day (Friday). Mr Thos. J. Bell, of the Commercial hotel, Clinton, was in the village on Tuesday. Mr J. J. Walker left on Thursday for Chica- go, Ill, for the purpose of studyiug medicine; we wish him success; his aunt, who has been visiting here for a lengthened time, accompanied him home. An event that has kept the young folk in this locality in suspense for sometime came to a climax on Thursday. Mr Wm. Hiles has his new house almost completed. Mr McFad- yen has been engaged to take charge of the Harlock school Mr M. Braith- waite has rented his farm for a term of five years, to Mr Howard Riddle, of the 13th con., and has himself taken a situation in a fire and life insurance company. The farmers are busy tak- ing up their turnips, and speak of them being very much damagedby lice. Mr Robt. BowcocK has complet- ed his new stable, and has everything convenient. Our new shoe man seems to be doing a lucrative business. Quite a number of dogs in this neighborhood should be dispcsed of, as several sheep have been killed by them, and others considerably bit and torn; dogs are no doubt a source of annoyance as well as a source of service. ANNIVERSARY. --The anniversary in connecti,n with the Methodist church, on Sabbath last, was a decided success. Rev W. Neal, formerly of Londesboro, but now stationed near Brampton, in the Tor onto Conference, conducted the services,which were in the interest of the Sabbath School and Epworth League. In the morning he addressed the children from Song of Solomon 2, 15, "Take us the foxes, the little foxes that spoil the vines, for our vines have tender grapes," applying it to the many things in this life that destroy the character of the youth. It was of a most interesting character to all, while the children were delighted, and no doubt will long remember the lesson of the little foxes drawn by Mr Neal. He addressed the children again in the afternoon. In the evening he preached especially to the League, from the words "Who then is willing to conse- crate his services this day unto the Lord?" It was conducted as a song ser vice, and was a most impressive ser- vice, showing what God required of us for consecration to his work, and we trust that the seed sown may bear much fruit in the lives of the hearers, so that they may be doers as well as hearers. We hope and pray that Mr Neal may long be spared to sow the word of eternal lite, and that ere long we may have the pleasure of listening to Mr Neal again. His many friends here are pleased to meet him, and see the development of Christian character in him and his earnestness in the vine- yard of the Lord. On Monday even- ing an entertainment Was given by the members of the Epworth League, and was a grand success in every way, the financial receipts being $13.60. The program was of a high order all through, yet special mention might be made of the recitations rendered by Miss Washington, of Clinton, both of which were good, especially the one entitled "The measuring wand;" also the solos given by Rev Mr Neal and Mr Millson, anil the music by the choir of the chug eh, all of which was appreciated by ti'•'se present. REMOVING.—Mr Thomas Asquith in- tends removing his family to th'e Soo in the spring. Mr Benjamin Akrigg had a sale last Thursday (24th inst) of his farm stock and implements. He intends removing to the Soo in the spring. He will be accompanied by his brother•in-law, Mr Jos. Lawler, who has also taken up land there. NOTES.—William Asquith, son of Mr Thomas Asquith, who has been sailing all summer, paid a flying visit to friends in this locality last week. Messrs Brown and Howson shipped a car -load of horses from Blyth last Mon- day for Liverpool. Mr A. Knox and G. Howitt take charge of them across the Atlantic. The Nimrod's are busy this week. They had better be cau- tions, and not transgress the law or we may have a circus before our J. P.'s. Mr John Clark passed through here last Tgesday evening on his way to Hamilton on business.
