A Royal Arch meeting' of the L,0 L. was held at Hensall on Friday evening !test. A load from Exeter drove up and report of haying spent a very pleasant evening, with the exception of one who took offence at some frivilnus part aid the proceedings and ''hoofed" it all 'Else way home. A superior high class Concert will be given by Edison's newly improved Phonograph in the Main Street Meth- odist Church on Wednesday evening, April 4th. This promises to be a very entertaining concert and will be wor- thy of a good attendance. The admis• sions will be 15 cts; children 10c. There are 82 public hospitals in On- tario, In 1893 they cared for 12,392 patients, including those 'who remain- ed at the end of 1892. At the end of 1892 there were 998 patients in resi- dence; 10,981 were received during the year, and there were 503 births in the hospital; 10,554 patients were dis- charged; 731 died, and 1,117 remained at the end of the year. 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 No God bless her she isn't but:It that t wr ti,v,: There is nothing mysterious about advertising.

Pickard & Son's Millinery opening will be held on Friday and Saturday, 30th and 31st inst. Every lady invited to inspect our stock, 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- nels, It takes more than one day of sunshine to make a spring -time. A number of our local sports were on the hunt Tuesday and run n fox as far down as Ailsa Craig. Reynard was too cunning for the sports and the sports and the had to return with- out him. 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.

Doubtless it is some person who has escaped from the asylum or a fit subject for one. It is thought that sufficient pressure will be brought to hear on the Grand Trunk authorities to recommence run- ning a daily freight train between Lon- don and Wingham. Don't look on the street, or in stores after night, for the boy who stands at the head of his class, and who is de- termined to pass, for he is not there. You will rind him at home agplying himself to his studies. Several of our citizens who aro am• bitions in the garden line commenced operations before the recent fall of snow.

A typographical error appeared in the Trivitt Memorial Church announce ment for last (Easter) Sunday 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.

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. 13 bars electric soap for 25e; 8 lbs raisins for 25e, at It Pickard & Son's.
