If you ask some men for an adver- Wementthey will tell you that no one reads weekly papers nowadays, and that they wonld not pay a cent a col- umn. Let that same man be caught kissing the hired girl. and if the print- ing office is in the top of the seven- teenth story building he will climb all the way up and ask the editor to say nothing about that little affair, that it bas been greatly exaggerated, can all be explained, etc., and here's a good cigar, and how inucls is my bill up to a year from next January. But no erne reads a weekly paper. Oh! no. The date of good Friday this year is April 1. Easter Sunday comes on Ap- r118. It is always the first Sunday after the fourteenth day of the calen- dar moon, which clay falls on or next after the 21st of March, according to the rules laid down for the construc- tion. of the calendar. The early date txf Easter will no doubt in a measure detraet from the popularity of the Easter bonnet as the season will not be sufficiently advanced to warrant the wearing of summer headgear.

Dykes sued Eras - tris Rannie of Hensall for alleged false arrest for burglary committed at Ran - tale's place last winter, ,and for $2,000 damages. The jury disallowed the claim, a warrant having been sworn out in due form by Rannie before S. Smillie, J, P., Rensall. Detective Westcott of this place was .the chief witness, he having made the arrest at Thedford. The jury brought in a ver- dict for the defendant, the plaintiff to pity all costs.

The niap is prepared on a bird's-eye plan, - showing the topographical formation of the land, and giving a better idea of the shore line and harbors than can be gleaned from any ordinary source. By keeping it before you and watching the maps published from time to time in the Globe, indicating the local movements of the forces, the reader can gain a better idea of the situation than by any other means we know of.

For a period extending from Febru- ary 28th to March 8th the . London, Huron and Bruce Railway has been in a condition of blockade or semi -block- ade. Ditched snowplows, derailed en- gines, snow and ice were some of the things the men had to overcome. The company did all that they possibly could to run trains over the line but with only partial success until -Tues- dry evening when the track was clear- ed north of Kippen, allowing a train to inn the whole course from London to Wingham. On Monday, March 7, they were successful in reaching Kip - pen from the south, and for two days traffic was carried on between these points, the train backing down to Lon- don morning and evening. On Friday an engine and snowplow left the track about one-half a mile south of Cen- tralia, the plow taking •to the west ditch while the engine made for the east. Both succeeded in almost com- pletely burying themselves in the snow, having run some 25 or 80 yards over and through ice and snow and finally coming to a staudstili in the bottom of a culvert. The engineer and fireman had a narrow escape and only saved themselves by jumping out of the cab window. The engine was badly wrecked while the plow was but slightly damaged. Not until Mon- day at 11 a. m, was the auxiliary able to het things righted. Exeter was kept for a straight week without any mail during which tithe the citizens had to subsist on back numbers of the newspapers and Ayer's Almanac.

The speaker was here in the in- terest of the British and Foreign Bible Society which is celebrating this year. the Centenary Anniversary of its in- auguration. In the morning the text. was taken from Psalm 119 and includ- ed simply "The Word." After a short. sketch of the work of the society in distrihating 180,000,000 volumes of the Word in 400 different languages, the speaker, made clear to us the chris- tianizin>; and enlightening effect of the bible on the Church, society and the individual home; also its contribu- tion to our music, art, and literature; finally its adaptability to the needs of all races of people, avhi.ch firmly estab- lishes its divine authority. In the af- ternoon a mass -meeting of the differ- ent churches was held and an appropri- ate address was delivered to the child- ren. ''The Light of the Wot•ld" was taken as the subject; its source. from Christ and its communication from Dae to another were clearly explained and illustrated by the use of 'candles.
