' One of the most disgusting scenes, which would cause the blush of shame to rise to the cheek of any of the fair sex, was witnessed on our streets Sun day last. A certain' woman of Stephen township, who we believe makes a prac- tice of indulging in a superabundance of fire water, drove into town just as people were going home .from church and by her uneeemly conduct attracted much attention. She visited several public places and riot being able to get her desires.fultiiled, started out to make her presence known on the bank streets, where she rambled around and by her careless driving was upset sev- eral times out of the cutter and had to be helped back again by the curious crowd which by this time had assem- bled. Eventually she started for her home and has not been heard from since. Such unbecoming conduct by one of the weaker sex is ridiculous a»d a disgrace to any civilized community, Poole of fl to h'rnov>bil Schools Lead the At the Public School Leaving exam- inations held last July, the County of Huron passed 141 candidates, This was exactly the same number passed. by the whole of the following 13 coun- ties:—Brant, Frontena.c, Lennox and Addington, Lincoln, Prescott and Ras. sell, Glengarry, Northumberland, Stor• mont Peel, Prince Edward, ' Dufferin, Oxford and Parry Sound. No county except Middlesex came near Huron. but Huron bad the lead by 21. Only two counties, Simcoe and Kent, passed even half as many as Huron. itoclreY Match. A friendly game of hockey was play- edon the Clinton Auk Mouday night between the Exeter and Clinton teams, resulting in favor of the Clinton team by a score of 4.2, This was from start to finish a very lively match, per- haps the most lively ever played on the Clinton rink, or on the rinks of the surrounding towns. The boys of both teams played with zeal and earnestness throughout the whole game. Our team did well to hold.the Clinton team down to the above score, this being the fiat match any of the Exeter boys had ever played, or in fact had ever seen played, while the Clinton boys have played a number of matches both this and last season. Had the boys been able to take their proper team the score would in all probability been in Exeter's favor The playing of F. Willis, as forward and A. Spicer as back, hrought forth great praise, from both players and spectators. It is expected that a re turn match will be played here to mor- row (Friday ) 'louse of Refuge Notes. The fire escapes demanded by law were put up last week.—Religious services are held every Sunday in the building. The Rev. A.

The April Number. The April number of the Delineator is called the Spring number, and con with; a splendid assortment of styles and fabrics tbat will bo fashionable during. the season. In the literary de- partment a theme of particular interest to most women is instructively treated in Margaret Nourse's article on the art of Preserving Youth. The second paper by Mary Cadwaldor Jones (Mrs Frederick Rhinelander Jones) main- tains the interest created by her March contribution on the Evolution of Dress. Mrs Theodore Sturo discusses law as a profession for her sex; Jno. Bell Land fear describes a pretty rainbow drill for children, and the general interest in bicycling is shown in an account of the latest attire therefor. The third and last of the dental artieles is 'devot• ed to artificial teeth. Sara Miller Kir by's admirable Kindergarten Papers are also brought to a conclusion in this number. 'there is a delightful sketch of Easter in a southern town, and time- ly imely directions for the making of Easter Egg Novelties, as well -as for the Delft embriodery, now so popular. There is also another of Mrs. Haywood's papers on ecclesiastical embroidery. H. C. Wood tells about an orl;ginal leap year party. In addition to the regular article on seasonable cookery, , there is a practical gaper on the chemistry of. foods, by A B. Lo►igstreet. Households J. A. STEWART. LOCAL JOTTINGS.
