Oh yes it is Sprine;, Spring, Spring, Spring, I oan hear the fool poet now sing, sing, sing, But the mud it will change, and the clouds they will frown, And in to few hours the snow will come down And will whiten the hill tops, the farms and the town, And the dude, while he shivers in spring coat, will say: " Don't 'cher' know this is 'Winter, though Spring yesterday."

The Trade Bulletin says: Last week baled hay was re ceived in Montreal with heavy stones embedded in the middle, and in one in- stance a dead calf was taken from the middle of a bale, Anything, it seems, would he resorted to by some persons in order ,o increase the weight of their hay and squeeze more money out of purchasers than they are entitled to. New missionary Society, The Seaforth Sun says: -"A number of young ladies belonging to some of the most respectable families of Sea - forth have orgautzed what is called the "enterprise reform club," for reclaim ing the young merrof the town. The mode of procedure about their work might well be adopted by some of the older societies of the town as it seems to be yery effective in the way of re- form. The young ladies prepare a first class meal to which they invite the young men to partake and after the inner man is satisfied then a very pleasant evening is spent in social con- versation, song, etc, after which the young men go away with fresh deter- mination to lead a better life. The first of these meetiegs was held at the residence of Mr, John Beattie adjoining the town of Seaforth a short time ago and was a decided succus." Roffman & Co., dry -goods merchants of Seaforth, have made an asSignment to J D. Ivey for the benefit of the. creditors. Messrs, IL 'Spielman and Joseph Senior assisted in instituting a lodge of Sons of England at Mitchell on Fri- day night last. The lodge starts off with a charter list of twenty enthus- iastie and zealous members, They re- port an exceedingly pleasant time. Should be in Every D'iamlly., The Globe, Toronto, is giving Cana dians an opportunity of securing 'Pic- turesque Canada" upon very reason- able terms This work, which is thor- oughly descriptive of Canada,was writ ten by Principal G. M. Grant, D. D: of Queen's University, Kingston, and is profusely illustrated by wood engrav lugs from the bushes of sorne of the most eminent artists of the day. It is being produced in parts of 24 pages each, one partappearing each week. and can be secured by cutting out one coupon, which will be found in all edi- tions, and forwarding it to their Art Department, along with 12 cents in stamps or coin, to pay mailing and postage. The opportunity of possessing so valuable an edition to our literature is one that should be taken advantage of by every Canadian who wants to know about, his own country, and we hope The Globe's generous offer will meet with the approval that their en terprise deserves. $1.00 pet box for good off stalk rai- sins at the Big Bankrupt Store, The town of Seaforth is cffering its electric light plant for sale by tender.

Gregory, all go to trial at the London Assizes on the 27th inst. On Saturday night last while Messrs. S. Gidley and Arthur Davis were re- turning from Chiselhurst their light wagon accidently collided with a rig occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Page when in front of Mr. Chas. Rowe' rest• dente. All the occupants were thrown from their seats to the ground, but luckily no person seriously hurt. A certain individual in town, whose mental powers were badly affected by an overdose of firewater, drove down Huron street Tuesday and when at- tempting to turn around the horse up set the rig. A passer-by seeing the mishap went to the unfortunate man's assistance, when it was found that he was (dead) drunk. The kind man af- ter some difficulty, got him in the rig and took him home. The London freight train has been cut down to twice a week. The train will leave Wingham every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, returning from London every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Lack of work is given as the reason for the reduction, but the reason is about as ridiculous as can be. The Grand Trunk has taken the peo ple's bonus money and now they may whistle for reasonable accomodation in freight trains.—Ex. A Country minister recently took a final leave of his congregation, says an exchange, in the pathetic manner:— "Brothers and sisters, I have come .to say good bye. I don't think God loves this church very much, because none of you ever die. I don't think you love each other„because I never married any of you. I don't thinkyou love:me, because you have not paid me my sal ary, and your donations are mouldy fruit and wormy apples—"by their fruits shall ye know them.” Brothers I am going away from you to a better place. I have been called to be Chap lain of the Anamosa penitentiary, "I go to prepare a place for you!" Good- bye." The Mitchell Advocate says: At the last meeting of our town council a pe- tition was adopted to the Ontario Leg- islature, praying that the assessment law be so changed as to render church lands and buildings liable to taxation for municipal purposes. Although the moye is a consercatiye one, we take exception to the action. Church prop- erty is purely for benevolent purposes, and from which no revenue is derived As a factor towards securing the well being of society—the education cf the masses—greater security to life and property, these institutions give to the corporation moi e than an equivalent for all the taxes the council's proposi- tion involves, while the imposition Cif stieh rates is simply a violation of fundamental principle underlying the assessment law, yiz the placing of a double tax upon the capital of the be, nevolent donors and in the investment of which bentfieence neither the church authorities or contributors derive the slightest income, from a monetary standpoint. ..The Spring Assizes opened in God- erich on Monday before Chief Justice Armour The calendar is very light indeed, being only two cases. Mr. D Johns will erect a new brick tin -shop at the rear of Mr. Il;. Spackman's hardware store as soonas the weather permits, for the convenience of Mr. Spackman. A Local Board of the Ontario Perma- nent Building Association was formed in town on Tuesday with Mr. A. Stew • art as president, and John Leathern as y ice -president. The Liberals of North Middlesex will meet in convention at Ailsa traig on Saturdry, March 24th, to •nominate a candidate for the Legislature, Mr. John Waters, M.P.P., and others will address the gathering, which promises to be large. A wicked compositor ronkeyed with a correspondent's news item the other day and made the scribe say that Miss Smith was teaching singing school and the community had the sympathy of all. The last clause was intended; for a man afflicted with cancer. Mr. Snirray, ofHay, who was reported recently as being so seriously injured by the falling of a tree is thought to be improving. At tines he suffers a great deal. He is under the care of Drs. Thompson of Hensall and Hyndman of Exeter, who are doing all that is possi- ble for him. Right Rev. M. S. Baldwin, Bishop of. Huron, tells an amusing anecdote of himself. "One time when I was rector if a certain congregation," he said, "While making the usual announce.. ments, I gravely announced that next Wednesday being Good Friday, speeial services would be held in the evening." A correspondent writing from Bruce: field says:—"Shoddy peddlers are now going the rounds in our neighborhood. They sell their goods, promising tobuy all the butter and eggs of the farmers at a. high cash price throughout the summer They have already taken iu many of the farmers. We would advise all who do not possess a shot gun to loose no time in procuring one." The town of Mitchell has a Gold Cure Society which has eight subjects under treatment at the Oakville Gold Cure Institute. The society which is com. posed of a number of Mitchell's most influential citizens, is doing: a grand and christian work in that town. The Advocate says:—"We have seen men come back from the institute cured from the degradation of strong drink, and they are living witnesses of the su4Set0 of the treatment."
