We Grow it Here.
A lady and her little boy, from
Mexico spent a few days in Lucknow
this winter. When they returned,
the little fellow said to a lady friend
of his mother, Auntie Annie, " do you
know in Lucknow they grow ice, and
here in Mexico we have to buy it."
A Regular Blizzard.
The weather for three or four day
the past week has been the roughes
and coldest experienced during the
winter. On Monday it blew a regular
blizzard, bat the heavy snow fall has
greatly improved the sleighing, which
in a part conipensates for the rough-
ness of the weather.
Fine Specimen of Meat.
In Mr. Dave McDonald's shop is to
• be seen one of the finest hind quarters
of beef that we have seen for some-
time. It 'weighs 320 pounds and
measures from knee joint to the centre
of the back bone 6 feet, 8 inches. The
rest of the carcass corresponds. The
animal was fed by T. Todd, of St.
Helens.

weeks a lodge will be organized.

Office, and in his appointment the
Government has made a gopd selection.

Marriage Bells- ,
'We extend our hearty congratu-
lation to Bro. McDonald, of the
Chesley Enterprise, on his marriage. to
Miss Evelyn J. . Moss, daughter, of
the Rev. W. H. Moss, and formerly
of Lucknow, which took 'place in
Chesley Methodist church, on Thursday,
the 10th inst, in -the presence of a
large gathering of relatives and friends.
The ceremony was performed by the
bride's father, assisted by the Rev. G.
B.uggin, of Tara. The bride looked
charming in a dress of crearrrsilk trim-
med with chiffon, and carrying a large
bouquet of white roses. The, brides-
maids were Miss Daisy Moss, sister of
the bride, dressed in, pink Henrietta,
who carried a bouquet. of pink roses,
and Miss Macdonald, sister of the
groom, dressed in blue cashmere,
car rying cream roses, and Miss B. Col=
liv er, of Otteiwille, cousin of, the bride,
dres sed in pink nun's veiling, and carry-

jAnother Play.
Mr. Harry liart is again—in the
village and will shortly afford our
'citizens another opportunity of wit-
nessing a popular play, as produced by
a local pany. The name of the
play is not yet announced, but Mr.
Hart says it will be as good, if not
better than Hazel Hirke. The full
list will be givin next week.
A Fox Hunt that didn't Connect.
From the vicinity of Murray's Cor-
ners comes the intelligence that one of
Lucknow's skilled nimrods went out
to that region, where he was joined by
an equally worshiper of the gun. The
hounds found Mr. Reynard and ran
him to cover, where he was wounded,
but managed to effect his escape and
made for another place of enconsement
which he had in view. The man frona
Lucknow, having secured a spade,
dug poor foxy out of his hole, and
after indefatigable work, managed te
secure the prize; but the end was not
yet. After tying Reynard securely
with the usual thongs, they laid him
to rest and regaled themselves with
the usual refreshments. But when
they went to the place where they
had left their prize, "the place which
knew him before, knew him no more
for ever." To hunt or not to hunt,
that is the question.
To the North West, Ho!
The G. T. R. station at Lucknow
presented a lively appearance on Tues-
• day forenoon, being the occasion of the
departure of a large number of old
residents of the locality for Manitoba,
Dakota and the North West, and the
assembling of their friends to see them
off. Among those going away we
noticed Murdock Lennan, Rory Mc-
Lennan and Mrs. R. McLennan (Loch-
alsh), D. Clark, wife and family; J.
Curtain, A. Martin and A. McDonald
(Huron) Wm. McBurney, Rod. Ross,
Neil McDonald, George Ferris and A.
McDonald, Langside ; George and
Hamilton Irwin, Jake Reid (son of
Paul), John Martin (Belfast), M. Nal -
lough, Ashfield; ,Wm. Anderson, East
Wawanosh. Messrs. Martain and
Curtain took out horses. Mr. Paul
Reid sends two stallions, "Young
Belfast" and "Star of the West."
Mr. John Armstrong takes out "Dia-
mond Star." Mr. Martin, son of Mr.
John Martin, Paramount, takes their
'fine roan horse. The Sentinel joins in
wishing all who have gone speed and
prosperity.
St. Patrick's Day.
On Thursday, to -day, many •Irish-
men, the world over, will celebrate the
birth day of their patron, Saint Patrick.
From old Irish chronicles we learn ,that
to him may be credited the early dawn
of Christianity in the "Isle so green."
St. Patrick is said to have been born
in Scotland, of parents who lived un-
der the Roman Government and partly
British and Roman descent. • The place
of his birth is said to have been near
the mouth of the Clyde at a place
called Kilpatrick. Others say he was
born in J3retague, France. At an early
age he was 'made a prisoner by an
Irish, king or pirate,, and taken over
to Ireland, where he became a slave
and served six years as a herder of
cattle, and it was in the solitude of
this employment that he became con-
verted to the Christian Religion. Re-
turning to his' • native eountry after
securing his freedom, he began to pre: -
pare himself for the work of a mission-
ary as he says, "the memory ot the
desolate heathen of Ireland haunts
my dreams." • When he yeturned to
Ireland, he was 40 years Old. Previ-
ous failures to conyert the people did
not dishearten him. ..At first he was
mistaken for a 'sea -robber, but6 this
soon gave way. One legend referring
to his propogation of the gospel is that
connected with the Easter solemnities.
It was the custom that no fire should
be seen until the great' flame burst up
from the.halls of Tara. St. Patrick,
however:lit his pascal fire., This in-
censed the heathen'priests and king so
much that they declared, "this fire
that has now been kjndled, • unless lex-
tinguished this night, will never be
extinguished through all Mine. It
will tower above all our ancient flames
and he who lights it will ere long scat-
ter your kingdom." •His Access as a
'missionary wa,s.not• so much in finding
'fault with the customs of the Druids,
as in showing them something better.
And so it was in Ireland, ,as the '%vorld
over, the flame set burning by St.
Patrick, has spread and is still spread.
ing. St.. Bernard testifies that, St.
Patrick fixed his metropolitan se at
Armagh. „He devoted much attention
to the suppression of slavery, one of
the consequences of the piratical ex-
peditions of the a,ge. He died in
Down, Nlster, on March 17, of either
the year 403 or 495

—At the Walkerton DivisioirCourt
last week, a, case of considerable im-
portance to farmers and cattle men,
canneop for trial. The case was sub-
stantially as follows ;—InJune last Mr.
Johu Rowland bought 40 head ef
cattle from Richard Donnelly, of
Pickerton, about half of which were
allowed to remain with Donnelly for
some months befor removal. On the
day on which he was notified that the
cattle were to be taken away, Don-
nelly got up' early and crave them a
liberal supply of salt. SP -alt produces
thirst, and thirst is best satisfied by
water. Donnelly's cattle naturall
drank their fill of water, and Rowland
maintained that as a consequenee they
registered -an abnormally heavy weight.
The case went to the jury and a
verdict for the full amount of the
claim, $60, was awarded to Rowland,
The defondant was assessed with the
costs.
