They are also arranging for a local tournament. VIOLATION OR THE ADT.—On Tues- day Inspector Paisley 10i4d information inggA.RPobinaon, Godericht3 with charg- ing liquor without a license. iThe charge was sustained and a dne of 850 and costs imposed. ExOuBnnoes.—The Excursion to the Model Farm to -day. Friday, is likely to be welt patronized. The O3dfel- low4 of this -district are arr�af�s� a cheap excursion to date end fares not et decided upon, but itis expected to, ie about the 31st inst. lankerEMPTIBLY MEAN. -,-There are some people who are evident ly capable of any degree of meatiness. At the Recreation Park bicyclists have en- countered_a nuober of--teeks forced through 1ther washers in 'much a way that the point must puncture tires. and several riders have come to grief from this cause. AN EARLY HARVEST. — The fall wheat harvest of 1896 is about two weeks earlier than usual, a great deal of the crop now being cut. The earli- est cutting remembered previous to this was about sixteen years ago, when a few fields were cut on July 11. The grain is very plump and the early cutting beats the record. ABLE TO BE OUT.—The many friends of David Cantelon, jr., (son of W. Can- telon) will be pleased to know that he is now able to be out, and expects ere long to be as well as ever physically. He has had a siege of thirteen week's illness, and some of it exceedingly sev- ere and serious, but he has come through the ordeal well. TOUGHS.—On Friday evening a pair of bears passed through the town and caused a flutter of excitement among the canine element of the population. They were accompanied by the usual pair of hard looking men. 'Fortune seems to have been very hard on them for they were a mighty tough looking couple, and the bears were little else than akin and bones. HE WAS,To1ED.—They are telling a good joke on a certain active Conserv- ative in town. Some one informed him that Laurier had decided to pro- hibit the running of special trains on the 12th of July, and also ordered all the hotels to be closed. He believed the yarn, and went storming about for some time before he discovered that the 12th fell on Sunday. HousE or REFUGE MATTERS.—W. Thompson, who was committed from Clinton, has left the House without permission; it is supposed he has gone on a visit to friends in Grey. It is ex- pected that the wife of one of the men concerned in the Field case, Wingham (now serving his sentence) will be- come an inmate, as she is said to be absolutely destitute. PILoPI.E WT3o ToaVe r..—Theq follow- ing paesengere were ticketed by W. Jackson during the past weeks—John Kitty, for Houghton, Mich.; R. Cole and wife, Gladstone, Mich.; Jos. Bar- ris, Moosowin; and W. Appel, St. Paul, Min. QUICK RIDING.— Wednesday after- noon Mr Manville put his head in the NEW ERA office door and asked what time it was. "Exactly three o'clock," was the answer. " Well, remember it," said Manville, and away he went on hie wheel. Yesterday morning he handed in a certificate from a Loudon firm saying it was 5.35 p. m. when he arrived there. This is remarkably good riding. CODSPLIMRNTARY.—Referring to the Dominion Day concert, the Bayfield' correspondent of the Expositor says "The celebrated comic singers, Mesere. Robert Downs, of Clinton, and Wil- liam McLeod, of Seaforth. were ably essieted by Mr. Dowzer. and Messrs. Emerton and Haxby, instrumental selections on banjo and guitar. Sel- dom has a Hayfield audience been provided with so entertaining a pro- gram. Mr DoWne abilities as a comic singer are too well known here to need further comment. On this occasion he fully sustained Ms reputation." A PIECl3J OF FINE WORKMANSHIP.— Mr. H. B. Ohstnt has just completed for his brother, Prof. Chant, of Toron- to University, a clock which is a model of fine workmanship and finish. It stands seven feet high, the case &c. being beautifully finished black wal- nut, while a monogram surmounts the top. The clock has a second hand, as well as the hour hands, and an electric alarm, and the great merit of it lies in the fact that the clock and works en- tire are tbe product of Mr. Chant's own labor, and really is a piece of or- namental and useful furniture.

MILESTONE—The Brussels assed another milestone, red on its 24th volume. A ture about the Post is that always growing older it is youth, and is as spright- ear-old steer, (this is one favorite metaphors.) It aders remarkably well allows nothing more oh- o appear in its columns ay up—we want money,' or's joking propensities own that even this terse y ever taken seriously. kably good newspaper, can write his jokes with r with his left hand, in them are left-handed. arse that some of hie written with a paste of ecissere, blit this we hyperbolical.

Craig, (Presbyterian). of Santa Fe, New Mexico, where the Globe says "he is doing excellent work." Mr. Craig was born near Clinton, and the fact that he got his early ministerial training in the Methodist Church may be partly responsible for hie present usefulness. Messrs. John Hunter and Wm.Grant expect to leave here to -mor- row for the old country with a quanti- ty of cattle. It is reported, but with what degree of ,truth we know not, that Mr Bob Grey, of Ontario, Cal., who is spending some time with friends in Tuckersmith, will require two tick- ets when he goes back; the report should be true, anyhow. Harry Fol - land returned from the old country on Saturday; Messrs James Fair and James Walkinshaw sailed on the re- turn trip on Friday.

The total number of passengers carried in- to Goderich on Monday, over the 0, T. R. was 3,296. We are pleased to see that Miss Emma Stephenson, of town, was one of the pass candidates at To- ronto Normal School.

Rev A. Y. Hartley, cf Bluevale, who has resigned his charge in that place, purposes making Clinton his home, and will shortly take up bis residence here; we welcome him to our midst; Clinton offers exceptional facilities as a place of residence, and others who contemplate retiring cannot do better than select this as their piece of resi- dence.
