'We hope that the worthy bride and bridegroom will permit:us on this occasion to offer them our heartiest congratulations, we 'doubt if not the happiest event in their life. May the honey moon, that the young couple are just entering upon be life-long, or, if a few clouds must come to obscure the silverly leaves of Luna, may they be brief and refreshing as, the gentle flowers of spring, whose kindly finis• sion is to refresh and sweeten the flow- ers. While the young couple are a- bout entering on the primrose path. We trust that they will always find friendly hands to brush away all the thorns and briars that sometimes beset the smoothest ways,but journey where- soever you may he called you will al- ways find among us,the friends of your youthful days, welcome hands and, af- fectionate hearts. Some evil disposed person or persons, one night recently,•set fire to a load of clover hay belonging to Mr. W. Rev- ington which was standing on the roadside. We think the party or parties had little to do and should, if found out, be dea't with to the fullest extent of the law.

Messrs. Cook Bros, of the flouring mill, are doing a large business just now. They are enterprising men and Should command a large trade. - Far- mers in want of first C1aSS flour should give the Hensel' mills a trial. Mr. Aaron Sheritt formerly of this place, but now of Dakota has been in the vieinity for some time buying horses and succeeded in getting a- tine carload which he shipped on Tuesday Varna. Mr. Stewart, sr. died at Kinburn on Friday last was burried in Varna ceme- tery Sunday. He was quite an old man and father of our township clerk. Should the Bayfield protesters suc- ceed in squashing the roller mill bonus our village will endeavor to induce Mr. Kalbfleisch to start one here. This is a much better location being the cen- tre of a good farming locality. • where- as Bayfield has only a stretch of water to one side. Thursday night last Mr. Joseph Fos- ter D. M. was attending a meeting of L. 0. L. 1045,and left his horse still at- tached to the cutter, in • the- shed. When Mr. Foster was about to leave he found his horse entangled in the tie lines and harness lying on the ground outside the. shafts. Mr. Foster hurrid- ly attempted to relieve the prostrate animal and was severly kicked on one of his legs below the knee severing the tendons of the limb, and disabling him so that he will be confined to his bed for some tithe. The injury is very painful, extending from the knee to the ankle. A Brucefield medical man is in attendance. Mr. L. Beatty was also slightly injured in attempting to re lieve he animal. Bayfield. The stable at the English Church re- ctory was burned to the ground. The cause is not known. Mr, Hodgins got his vahuible mare and colt out though a large gnantity of hay was destroyed. Rev. Jas. Livington, of Clinton deo livered hisfamous lecture on "Voice , leased to assemble together to cele- NO146.` be seen iii every city in our fair Dom- inion.

These who were present highly 'appre• dated. it. We notice last week amongst our Brucefield brother's items one in which the words, almost entirely' corresponded to an, item which appeared under Bay- field heading ay- field•heading on Feb. 7th; whilst read- ing it we were led to remark that a$ great minds often think alike, so great pens often write alike. The third Carnival of the season was held in the rink on Wednesday, a large number carrying of prizes. The main feature was a free to -all race, into which a,large number entered, but on- ly,two, Messrs W. Erwin and C. Dres- ser remained till the last. After a hard struggle the former won the race. We hear some complaints about the rink, which we must say we never heard last year. • The Little bit of sleighing was taken advantage of by the ice dealers to lay in their necessary supply of ice, and a large number of men were engaged on the river cutting and taking it away. Wood was corning into town in large quantities and the Thompson Grist and Saw mill was booming all day long. We understand that the protesters against the by law for the Kalbfleish mill are giving in and -will now settle the matter upon receipt of $350. last. • The Canadian -bred trotting stallion Am- ber, by Clear Grit. formerly owned by Air.

Warren, of Hay, had a brood sow that give birth to fifteen pigs. This is the larg- est brood we haye yet heard of. Mr. Sam Sandercock spent a couple of days visiting his lady friends in Usborne last week, we expect on ac• count of Sam, one of them will soon change their name. Master Fred Bush, of Hay, is at pre- sent doing a good business in the hunt- ing line. He has already captured quite a number of mink and skunk, and has just received a large consign- ment of steel traps, and we certainly must say woe unto the skunk and mink in the future. One of those events `which, frequent- ly occur in modern times, took place at the residence of Mr, Richard Coultice, on Wednesday of last week, it ;being the marriage of Ms daughter Drucilla, to Mr, Wtn Clarke,of Winchelsea. The wedding was entirely confined to the members of the family, the binding; mon.- was performed bythe Rey. ceremony performed W. H. Penhall, of Elimville.

Father Kealy, the happy gathering dispersed, feeling well satisfied that teey had spent and enjoyable evening. Rev Father Connolly of Biddulph and Rev. Father Kennedy, of London, were present. The attendance was very large, something about five hundred being present. Father Kealy and the choir are to be congratulated upon the grand success of the affair, and also special congratulations are due, Miss Tighe and Miss Laughlin for their able services in condtteting the musical part of the program.

The program consisted of instrumental and yocal music, addresses &c.—the proceedings were commenced by selec- tion by the orchestra after which the choir and Mr. J. Donelly sang appro- priate and interesting songs. The in- teresting subject of the evening was the .address of Rev. Father Kealy on the "sister virtues practised by the Irish Race." He stated that man was creat- ed to be happy and content. Ireland owed a great deal to St. Patrick. It was on the hills of Tora that Patrick came to preach the faith of an Irish- man. It was in the year 432 that Pat- rick unfolded and preached the doc trines. He had difficulties such as other apostiles had had during their career. Many of the apostiles had to loose blood to infatuate their hearers with the blessed word, but Patrick did not loose blood to get his hearers and his people,to believe in the doc- trines of the True Religion. After Pat ricks death he left behind him many Bishops and Priests and the majority of those were Irishmen, the sons of, the Isle. Ireland had become fully catho- lic when Patrick preached to them. Numbers of people of Europe had and are sending their children to the shores of Ireland to be instructed and taught in the science of St. Patrick's doctrines. Ireland and Irishmen were not content with keeping, their religion there,but being inspired by the Most High, proceeded to Italy,Germany and in fact every country on the face of the Globe. The Danesoured in upon Ire - lend to destroy he faith that had been Irish de- fended by Patrick but this fended their religion. The English nation also arose and sprang upon Ire- land to tear the faith from their hearts. The Irish after many battles and skir- mishes were conquered, but not in ,5 t, anti n ul a ry - P irifl "lit had token placenti. History vespirit re Se g cords the fact that many battles and man; victories had been fought and wonb the Irish nation in foreign. countries.
