A reactionary storm period is cen- tral on the 17th, 18th and 19th, with the Moon at Last quarter and extreme south declination. This period is near the center of the Earth's equinox, and still under the influence of Venus' per- tnrbation. Another fact we must keep in mind, is that the equinox of the planet Saturn will be felt in all the phenomena of the present season, especially at the equinoxes and the sol- stice periods of our globe. At this period, the 17th, 18th and 19th, look for return of falling barometer, higher temperature and more rain and snow —rain southward, turning to snow in middle to northern states. The inevit- able rise of barometer, and change to colder from the northwest will follow in the immediate wake of these storms bringing cold, raw weather generally from about the 19th to 22nd.

At the Owen Sound assizes, Mr. Lud- low, the Durham National Portland Cement Oo's chemist, was given aver -m dict for $500 against the Durha Chronicle for libel. The Chronicle a short time ago had soave very vigorous articles opposing the proposed plan of moving the cement plant from Dur- ham and accusing the plaintiff and lse others of making a fareport as to the amount of marl near Durham, The Chronicle also insinpated that the plaintiff bad entered into a scheme with others to depreciate the value of the stock in order that certain parties might. buy it up and gain control. It was also insinuated that the plaintiff, was purchasable. The Seaforth Expositor commenting on the result of a curling contest in that town recently in which Mr. Wm. Pickard, a former Exeter resident, and Mr. Wm. McDougall, Jr., played the final game to decide the winner of a 35 pound turkey and the champion- ship, says: "Wbilewe congratulate Mr. McDougall on his triumph we can't re- sist the temptation to say that it is al- most a pity to Waste so fine a bird on a bachelor. The competition should be confined to married 'nen with families and young unmarried men and old bachelors should be excluded from a competition for so useful •- a prize." With all due respect to our -former townsmen, likewise our contemporary and being in the same boat as•Mr..Me- Dougall we feel that we must, in jus- tice to our chosen state of single hies- sedness, rebuke such ungenerous re- marks. Think of it, "It is a pity to waste so fine a bird on a bachelor." Just as though a bachelor could not appreciate a good thing with satisfac- tion equal to the benedict. We must draw the line when men who have lost their liberty shake their matrimonial fetters in our faces and insist that they are the only ones to enjoy the'good things of life. We consider there is an apology due from our unfriendly critic and unless it is forthcoming we shall be obliged to consider an indig- nation meeting. Beware, Bro.McLean. Seed Wheat.
