An exchange says a practical reviv-
alist in the neighborhood requested all
in the congregation who had paid their
debts to rise. The result was great.
After taking their seats a call was
made for cease who do not pay their
debts, and one selitary individual arose
who explained be was au editor, and
could not because the rest of the con-
gregation were owing him for their
subscriptions •
A clever young man,whose very best
fir[ resides in Scrathroy, wished to ap-
praise her by a telegram of his return
to town but at the same time did not
wish her crabbed old father, who had
objected to his visits, and who might
read the mes age, to know of the pro
jetted meeting'. The young fellow was
,quite well versed in Scripture and sent
the following message: "Read the
second epistle of John, 12th verse.'
The Handford (Cal,) Sentinel of the
15th says: -"Z. D. Johns and family,
leave within a few days for Mr, Johns'
old home in Canada. They will leave
many warm friends here who will wish
(hem a happy and prosperous future
krI that land of ice palaces and tobog
an slides. Mr. Johns has been a suc-
ness in business in Haudfor 1, and we
should not wonder if one of these days
he will come back. Hope so" They
arrived here Tuesday evening.
A Mattawa young lady has invented
a novel appliance for the purpose of
getting acquainted with young men
whom she may fancy. It is ca' -led the
'go between, and is composed of a
hand around the arm from which a
small steel hook protrudes. When pas-
sing the man of her choice she has only
to slightly extend her elbow and the
two are fast together. While seeking
to undo the fastening, ample oppor-
tunity is afforded for scraping an ac-
quaintance. A large sale is expected
to the girls of this period, and a patent
is applied for.
A western editor on being asked if
he ever saw a bald-headed women, re-
plied in the following vein: "No, we
never did, Nor did we ever see a wo
man waltzing around townin her
shirt sleeves with a, cigar between her
teeth and run into every saloon she
saw. We have never seen a woman
go fishing with a bottle in her pocket,
sit on the damp ground all day and go
home drums at night. Nor have we
seen a woman yank off her coat and
say she could lick any man in town

The fair sleighing of the past few
days brought many people to town
from a distance and our merchants
have enjoyed an increase of business
in consequence.
There is a moral to it, and it is this
Do not be in a hurry to take down
your storm doors, or change your flan-

sunshine to make a spring -time.
A number of our local sports were

Since our last issue the summer-like
weather has been changed into a young
winter, and the jingle of the sleigh
bells makes ape think of the near ap-
proach of Christmas instead of seed
time and harvest.

A typographical error appeared in
the Trivitt Memorial Church announce

which read "magnificent service" and
should have read "tiaagnificat service,"
Error though it was, the service was
most magnificent and such an ono as
is only rendered in the city cathedrals.
The musical part . was conducted by
Mrs (Rev.) Hunt, and was highly ap-
preciated by one of the largest congre-

Tally Ifo-7Clhe Fox.
On Friday a large crowd of the Exe-
ter Hunt Club wended their way to
Cardiff. The attraction was a regular
old Country fox hunt and many of the
lovers of fox hunting who had follow-
ed the hounds over the hedges and
ditches of the mother land say that the
hunt held under the auspices of the
Exeter Hunt club at the Cardiff Arms
compares very favorably with those
which they had witnessed in old Eng
land. The fox broke cover at three
o'clock and the hounds were not long
in getting away. The fox soon put quite.
a distance between himself and the
hounds, hut he was not able to keep
up the terrific pace after circling some
time and each time the circle being
smaller he at last was obliged to look
upward for help and espying a ladder
he immediately started to climb and
finally succeeeded in reaching the top
of the Cardiff Arms to the dismay of
the hounds and to the amuser.ent of
the huntsmen After some lively
scrambling on the part of Mr. Smith,
the huntsman, the fox was finally cap-
tured alive and is now the much
prized souvenir of the Cardiff hunt.
The Hunt dinner was held at the Car-
diff Arms whose genial and Byer oblig
ing host, Mr. Walters, made himself
very agreeable to every one, The din•
ner itself was one of the real old Dev-
shire sort roast beef, pudding, etc, , and
tueir is no doubt every one, enjoyed his
dinner, if one be able to judge by the
qua,tttty consumed. After dinner the
usual toasts were proposed and re-
sponded to but the toast which called
forth the most applause was the toast
to Mr. Alfred Walters, the gonial host.
Mr. Wm, Routcliffe of "Creek Farm" in
proposing the toast a to thegave host us
a neat little speech on fox hunting in
general and hunt breakfasts and din-
ners in particular. Mr Robert Sanders
of North Devon also spoke at some
length on the chief beauties of fox
hunting and thought the hunt dinner
was not by a long way the least en.
jbyable of the hunt. Mr. Walters re
sponded in a well worded speech and
in welcoming the huntsmen sincerely
hoped that since fox hooting Ilad to
'ken such a hold of the community
that the Exeter Hunt Club would make
the Cardiff Hunt an annual affair with
which all present unanimously agreed.
