A STRANGE NEsT. -A young lady in
t, ivti t,Ils of a rather peculiar occurrence
which t.,.'Qli place on Sunday, Re-
turning home, she was taking off her hat
in her room, when With a loud cackle a
plump hen suddenly clew about the room
and darted out of the window,. A dies
oovery of a newly laid egg in a Wall
basket added to the oiliness of the hen's
presence, although it provided a clue to
the re:Lien of its strange visit. It is not
often that a basket in a young ladies
boudoir is selected as a nest by a hen.
The young lady ate the egg at the even-
ini_tneal.
FRAUDS AND H1:1111r0i,-We trust the
following from the Clinton New Bra will
be taken as words of warning: This town
was intested, on Tuesday by a crowd of
the coolest swindlers that ever drew
breath, and we are sorry to say that they
succeeded in getting quite a number who
should know hetter than to be Oka.
'ft, princitevi ;Attie was the old soap
trvck-no many packages for a dolLar,ana
one ut tlietn supposed to contain a one
or two dollar bill. Their dupcs bit lik•
fish after a ramn. storm, and the indivi-
dual losses ran front ene to thirty dol-
lars. One poor feller' was so cleaned
out that he had not sufficient to pay for
taking his girl to the show. Three
sharpers tried a confidence genie on Mr.
W. McQueen, but the intervention of a
friend saved him from being bitten.
The swindlers reaped a rich harvest, and
the enly consolation the losers have is to
wonder how they were foolish enough to
invest their money and hope to beat a
shaper at his •••.vn game.

It appears Mr. Simon Beattie, of York

The twelve days' drill of the 33rd
Hutvu Datt. closed on Saturday lad,
and on that day the camp at Attrill's
flats was broken up. Shortly after 10
a.m. the order was given to strike the
tents and by eleven everything was
packed and ready for transit to the sta-
tion. At 11 o'clock' the parade bugle
sounded, the company sergeants took up
position, andthe men fell intorank. The
Batt. then faced by companies un the
centre, and the orders for the day were
read by Adjt. Cooke. After the orders
had been read the men were

who oomplimented them upon their be-
havior while in camp. It had given. him
much pleasure to observe the universal
good conduct which had obtained, and the
fact that no occasion had occurred in
which he, u commanding officer, had
been called upon to sentence punish-
ment for any offence to any member of
the Battalion spoke well for the 33rd.
He hoped that the genie good record
would be maintained so long as the men
wore their uniforms, and until they re-
turned home, and were relieved from
their duties and the supervision ..f their
officers.
sEROEL.VT ALEX. WIL'40N
was then requested to march to the front
of the Battalion, and wu complimented
by Col. Ross on the dietinction which he
had- attained u premier marksman in
the Wimbledon team, and ala. for being
the champion "shot" of the Dominion,
and the winner of the Governor -Gen-
eral's badge and prize for 1881. The
Colonel hoped Sergeant NVilson would
lone live to win honors as a marksman,
and be a credit, as he undoubtedly was,
to the 33rd Huron Battalion. He
concluded by proposing three cheers for
Sergt. Wilson, which were given with a
will.
Cheers were then .given for Col. Ross
and the Queen, and the Battalion reform-
ed, formed "fours," and, headed by the
excellent Brwssels band, playing a spirit-
ed air, took up the line of march to
North street, thence around the Court
House Square, and down East street, to
tine station.
The streets were thronged to see the
"red -coats" off, a large number of the
spectators being of the fair sex. At
the station particularly the ',presenta-
tion was strong, and it could be seen
easily that many of the warriors from
outside had succeeded in forming ac-
quaintance with the sons and daughters
of„Goderich.
No 1, Goderich Co. formed on the
right,with Porter's Hill Co. and Dungan -
nen C. on the left, and, as the com-
panies from Clinton, Seaforth, Wingham
Brussels and Gorrie passed to the rail-
way coaches, cheers by threes rout the
air. The commissioned officers, u
their companies passed to the train,
advanced to where Cut. Ross sat on
horseback, saluted, and shook hands
with. their cemmanding officer; conductor
Holmes raised the old and familiar "All
aboard !„ the train began to move, and
fire companies ,4f the 33rd Batt. were
home ward bound.
Brussels Company succeeded in snak-
ing the largest score in competition for
the Battalion cup, but owing to certain
irregularities ilthe marking and check-
ing at the "butts," it was decided, with
the consent of the Captain of the Brus-
sels Company, to retain the trophy at
headquarters this year.
The tents and other stores were for-
warded to London in god order. The
supervision of the shipment of the stores
devolved upon Querter-Master Stmchan,
who performed the duties with the dis-
patch and regularity of a veteran.
The playing of the Brussels band, un-
der the leadership of Bandmaster A. H.
Kay was admired on occasions. At
the lawn party they were the theme of
general conversation, and their excell-
ent rendition of the different selections
was only exceeded by the gentlemanly
demeanor of each and every member.
Col. Ross and the other officers are loud
in praise of the manner in which they
filled the position of , Battalion Band.
At the serenade on the Court House
Square on Thursday evening for the
benefit of the public, a pleasing exhibi-
tion of feeling on the part of the towns-
people was shown by the fact that at the
conclusion of each of the twelve selections
given by the Band, rounds of applause
followed from the hundreds of spectators
who lined .the Square. Refreshments
were also given by Capt. Cox, proprie-
tor of the "British Exchange," and Mr.
McBride of the "Albion." Bruesela
Band will receive a warm widows' should
it again me 8t to visit the county
town.
It was incidentally remelted by Cnl
Joshua Dispirit* Deputy-Adjt. -General,
on Thursday last, that future camps in
this +section would probably be hold
about the middle of June. in the eolith -
em portion of the district the feel*
was foe the early half of that Tweak,
while in this section the lattu end
would be best monad, owing to the fact
that the ornps did not mature here gain
en early as Aey did further month.

TOLLING POR GARPIIILD.
'Wrong, Neese Winsamard In a tritainglen
Tema".
- -- -
A stranger unacquainted with recent
events, entering Goderich on Monday
afternoon, would hare thought some
heavy woe had fallen on the place, or
that some citizen, endeared to his fellows
by a lung and intimate aoquaintanceship,
had parsed away.
The Aspect of the town was most fun-
ereal. From publie and private buildings
flags hung at half mast: abutters covered
the shop windows) trade was motionless;
and the tolling of {the church and town
bells was strangely saddening.
No cortege was in sight; the nodding
plumes of the hearse were not to be
seen; yet the very air seemed laden with
grief, and the faces of the townsfolk
were as grave as if some near sorrow had
risited them.
The bells were tolling for the lament-
ed Garfield. Grief had obliterated
boundary lines, and it was as if the
people of this place were bending over
the coffin of a beloved ruler.
HAPPY ARE THEY.
