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.

Kincardine Postmaster. Mr. Robert Baird, has been appoint- ed postmaster of the Kincardine Post Office, and in his appointment the Government has made a gopd selection. No n:an in the County of Bruce has a greater claim to the position than Mr. Baird, and his selection, outside of a few dissappointed aspirants, should give general satisfaction to the people of Kincardine. 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- ing pink roses. The groom was sup- ported by Mr. A. Graham and Mr. E. Bain.

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 Auction Sale. atimmtion_sale,D£ bankruptstnek of ready-naade clothing and general dry goods`, at Brumptons, on Saturday, March 19, 1892.
