Uranus and the full Moon on the 30th,
brings. Jupiter, Earth, Moon, Sun and
Uranus all in line at that time. Add-
ed to all of these, wemust keep in
mind the fact that we have, entered
InlIy.into the combined equinoxes, of
the great planets, Jupiter and Saturn.

good fair great accumulations of snow

Here is a puzzle that puzzles every-
body. Take the number of your living
brothers, double the amount, add to it
three, multiply byfive, add toit the
number of your living sisters, multiply
the result by ten, add the number .of
deathsof brothers and subtract 150
from the result. . The right figure will
be the number of deaths, the middle
the number of living sisters, and the
left the number of living brothers.
Try it and see.
If you know of an item or a pieee of
news, tell us about it. That's what we
want. But a newspaper man -some-
times experiences more difficulty in
gathering news than one would imag-
ine. This was the case when a reporter
in a neighboring town, who a few days
ago was sent to write up a fire in a res-
idence. Going to the door he inquired
fir the lady of the house. The maid
saidshe was out. "Are any of the
family at home?" inquired the scribe.
"No, they are all out," was the. reply.
"Well, wasn't there a fire here last
'evening? "Yes" said the maid, "but
that's out too."
The following is from the Clinton
New Era: "Owing to the large attend-
ance at the Clinton Business College
the progressive management have
found it necessary to get larger apart-
ments fitted up. An additional teach-
er, Miss Rosa McNee of London, who
is a Gold Medalist, arrived in town
Saturday and is in charge'of the Sten-
ographic Department. Knowingsome-
thingof this institution and the thor-
oughness of its work, we can heartily
recommend the Clinton Business Col-
lege to those desirous of securing a
Commercial or. Stenographic educa-
tion."
Mr. Wm. Bawden arrived on Thurs-
day last from Scotland with thirteen
fine heavy horses, eleven clydes and
two shires. Mr. McDonell came as
well but took the passenger train from'
St. Johns, N. B., while Mr. Bearden
came by freight. They sailed from
Glasgow on the steamship Cassandra
of the Donaldson line. When near:
Paris the car in which the horses were
was smashed in shuotingand at Strat-
ford the officials• accommodated Mr. '
Bawden with a special train to Exeter
for which he was well pleased. The
ocean voyage was favorable both ways.
She unpleasant part of the trip , we

St. Johns. "George,"'ayoung Scotch
man, came along with Mr. Bowden,
Many will learn with regret, of the
illness of Mr. Samuel White late of
Detroit, but well known to many here,
being a brother of Mr. Wm. White,
Rodgerville. For several months Mr.
White has suffered from lung trouble
andwas confined to the Marine losppital
of Detroit' and later to the Marine I3os-
pital, New Mexico, but thinking a
change would benefit his condition,
about two weeks ago he carne to live
with his mother at Hensall. : ` The
change however brought no relief and
owing to his motherbefog indisposed
together with othen members of the
household it was deemed 'advisiable to
have Mr. White, removedto Victoria
Elospital, London, for which place he
left on' Saturday. Mr. White is very
much reduced and there is no hope en-
tertained for his recovery.
