Don't eat oranges that have been frozen! They are condemned as being poisonous and many deaths have re salted therefrom. On Wednesday night of last week while skating on the road Wesley, son of Mr. Wm. Snell, had the misfortune to take a tumble, landing on his head and cutting his face badly. The Clinton New Era says:—"Mr. D. D. McCallum, who has been visiting here, has returned to Toronto to pur- sue his studies; his father, Mr. J. J. Mc Callum, of Exeter, has just gone to Florida for the winter, and his brother has been elected alderman in London Superintendent Whyte, of the Cana- dian Paeifh railway, says that owing to the shrinkage in passenger and freight traffic large reductions both in thetnumber of men emploYed and the number of working hours in the day have to be trade. The curious phenomena of a mirage was seen at Port Huron recently, last - leg two hours. The morning was clear tied cold and a reflection of the city of qt. Clair; as well as the river, was.vial hie to the west about one mile from there, As St. Clair is 12 miles south, the sight of that neighboring town set o!fi to the west about one mile caused a lace] sensation. The Woodstock Sentinel Review re marks. One fact in the life of the late Premier which has ex ed a great deal of interest and discussion was his eon version from Methodism to Roman lea thnliciem. It was a matter on which Sir John Thompson himself observed pro- found silence. He never replied even tosuCh critics as the late Dr. Douglas Those who knew him best seem to have no doubt as to his absolute honesty in changing his religious views, tho' Pro testau`,s have both regretted and criti Used it. He appears to have been a 'religious Haan, who reached his final convictions in much the same way aft Newman and others, After death a e u:it-ix, rosary and a portrait of our Saviour were found on Sir John's per- son. Any man who had not . profound feelings en the subject of religiori would scarcely carry these things about with him. It would be an in tensely interesting thing to theologians and many others to know the exact train of thought or all the inflttences which lead to Sir Jahn Thbmpao)'i's re- Zat;trkabfe change of belief. The shooting season closed on Dee, 15th.. Since ;he, snow came wood, logs, grain, etc., have been rushed into town iu endless quantiti.'s.

Rev. J. C. Madill, speaking at Kirk. ton the other day, said: "last year 1 was asked to preach ten Presbyterian anniversary sermous. This year 1 have not been asked to preach one, and if 1 was out of a job the chances are I couldn't get one."

P., by Mr. John Gal, gatne warden, charged with shooting a deer out of season. He admitte1 the charge, and before the game warden had done with him, Mr. Swallow found teat the deer had cost him just $31.

Luckily it was noticed before much damage was done, for bad it got started into the packing house a serious conflagration would have fol- lowed. A few pieces of meat were slightly rot sted.
