The St. George's dinner given in the
Town Hall, on Monday evening, under
the auspices of the Sons of England
Benovelent Society was a decided sue
cess in every particular. Although the
evening was very disagreeable and
wet it did not preyeut a goodly num
'ber of every "naticalelity asaerribling
around the festive board which had
been prepared in honor ef St. George.
It is an occasion that will not soon
lose its yiyidness of outline and color
ing in theminds who helped to make
it the success that it was. The abund-
ance of enthusicism and eloquence
whicn characterized the meeting made
it a most pleasant and enjoyable even
ing for those whose hearts and minds
were in concord with the occasion. Af-
ter justice was done to the choice vi
ands all prepared themselves for an in
tellectual treat, and after a few words
of welcome by the worthy president,
Mr. N. D. Hurdon, he proposed a toast
of Queen Victoria which was honored
by "God Save the Queen" The follow
ing toasts were then proposed and ably
responded to, "Governor General and
Canada," by Dr. Rollins; "Army and
Navy" by R. alCollius; "Our siker So.

An enchange says that a few days
ago a lady who had replied to a rebus
advertisement which appeared in a To-
ronto daily for one ot those so called
`Journals, which deal in guessing. con
tests, counting. schemes, &c., had re-
ceived word to the effect that she had
been successful in winning a gold
watch, which would be forwarded to
her on receipt 01 .50 many dollars and
cents to pay express charges, &c. The
money was forwarded, hut whenthe
watch came to band it proved to he a
toy affair that is now being sold in New
York city and other places for 98 cents
and in Canada for from $1.50 to $2 00,
with a chain and seal thrown.
An exchange says that shoddy ped
)ars are travelling the country with
their worthless goods, representing
that they are selling for John McDon-
aid & Co , of Toronto or some other re
putable firm. The modus operandi is
as follows. A couple of fellows repre-
senting themselves as agents for John
McDonald & Co., Toronto, come along
saying this most reliable firm has de-
cided to send a hundred travellers out,
two to each county, alai deal directly
with the people, thus giving them
goods at half price. Tweeds, prints, &c
are displayed, a contract is made for
about $50 worth of goods and the
agents state that tailors are to be
around. in a week or so to make the
cloth into suits; in the meantime there
can be no harm in giving such a a ust
worthy firm a note, which is made pay-
able to bearer. The pedlar leaves with
the note which he sells to the first shay
er he meats and then digs out to try
the next green customer. It is need
less to state that these pedlars who are
travelling through the country have
no connection with the well-known firm
of John McDonald & Co., nor do they
carry their goods unless they buy them
from some other storekeeper in the
country.
A Swindler's Sebeine
Leamington, Ont, April 24th.—Jo-
seph Robinson, a wealthy farmer and
local preacher of this vicinity, has lost
some of his confidence in human uature
Last Saturday night a' man with a cler
ical cast of features called at his house
represented himself as a preacher and
said that he was on his way to Berlin.
He was very tired; would Mr. Robinson
help a brother in distress and allow him
to remain over nisrhti' The request was
readily granted, and for several hours
the two talked of spiriaial things atid
debated deep questions of theology. At
10 o'clock there was a knock at the
door. The new -comer waa ,a man. He
wanted to see a clergyman, as he and
his companions a ermine. WOMan, weie
anxious to be married? "Why," said
Mr. Robinson, "we have a preaeher
right here in the house,and if you
have a license he can join you." The,
anxious couple gladly entered the
house and the alleged. theologian went
through the usual form of worcls. Of
eouree there had to be witnesses. Mr.
and Mrs. Robinson consented to act in
that eapatity and prompty affixed their
signatures toit document which they
suppoaed was a marriage certificate.
The happy couple then departed, giv:
lug the clergyman V5 for his pains,
The latter remained all night anci he
