The total of the days play resulted in favour, of Lucknow • bye four ehots. Our eurlers eley their treatment ley the Wingham curlers was highly appre- ciated and a most joyable time was spent. Must Attend School. In answer to a correspondent, we may say that truant -officer, Constable McLeod, has authority to enforce the law which compels allchildren between the ages of 8 and 14„ years to attend school for the full seseion. ' In case of an infraction the parents or guardians of the child may be brought before e, magistrate and fined, and if •the toy still refuses to go to school he may be• committed t6 jail at Walkerton, Church Concert. There- was a vete/ good audience at the choir concert in the Methodist • Church on Thursday evening last, and the different selections given were well .eappreciated by all present. Mr. W. • H. Staab, who has been leader for •many years past, is certainly deserving of a great -deal of credit for the able manner in which he has conducted the 7, choir so long, and the entertainment elven last week would have done credit to any/church in the Province. • • Seiling Ashes. • A preminent farmer said to us the other day that he was surprised at the action of the villagers and many farm- ers who sell their ashes for a mere • pittance of money, or perhaps a bar or two of soap. In selling the ashes, he •,Said they are giving away gold, as it is now recognized by scientists, that , these are the best fertilizers that can be possibly got for the fields and 'gardens. A householder can't afford to give away his ashes for any money if he wants to raise roots or vegetables. Origin of Leap Year, In 1288, when Margaret was -queen of Scotland, she made a law that dur- ing her reign any maiden should have the right to ask any man to marry her, and if he refused without good cause to make her his wife, he was to be fined eine hundred pounds. .After the death of the queen the women so de- sired a continuance of the tight that a law esa's passed allowing a woman the privilege every fourth year of ask- ing a man in marriage. This is the origin of leap year. Newspaper Directory. • We repeived last week from Messrs. A. McKim S6 Co., of Montreal, a copy of the first issue of their handsome new directory of Canadian newspapers. The work is the neatest and most com- plete volume of the kind ever publish- ed in the Dominion, and will be found invaluable to all business firms in Canada. The binding, press -work and paper is exceedingly good, and the in- fqrmation contained in the book has been selected with great care and ac- curacy, and the enterprising publish- ers are to be congratulated on the success that has attended thoir first efforts. ' The book opens with an inter- esting and comprehensive history of Canadian Journaliste, and also con- tains a curious fac simile of the first paper published in Canada, the Hali- fax Gazette, March 23rd, 1752, 7 The Lucknow Sentinel Bruce County, Friclay, March 25th 1 -Mechar4csi Institute.

While engaged in skidding logs on McCarroll's mill pond on Thursday morning, the horses broke through the ice into deep water, and it was with great difficulty that the poor -brutes were removed from their perilous posi- tion. A eouple of the _workmen at the mill also got an involuntary cold bath in their efforts to save the horses. .Sons of8otId A Camp of the Sons of Scotland will be instituted in Lucknow this week by Inspector Canspbell, Deputy Grand Chief, assisted, by Bro.
