It always struck the Listener as a
rather large sized affectation on the
part of the postoftice people that the
province should be asked for by them
in the case of a letter which. is not go-
ing outside the limits of the province:
inwhich it is mailed. If a letter is al-
ready within the proyince of Ontario
when it is posted, why should it bear
the name of Ontario? It can't be sent
to Ontario bee :use it is already there,
and there is no warrant in the super-
scription, if it bears the name . of no
province, for sending it out of the prov-
ince.

northern lights in the heavens, on Sat-
rlr,lay night --At 10.30 o'cloek the
comet suddenly developed an enorm-
ous tail, which to the impractised eye
was taken to be a display of the aurora
borealis. At that hour Prof. Frisby, of
the Naval Obsery story ,, was studying
the cornet through the nine -inch glass.
Ile noticed a long streak of greenish
white light shoot out from the comet
and extend itself almost to the zenith..
At first the nucleus of the comet being
at that moment hidden by a fleecy
cloud, it was thought that the aurora,
borealis had sent out an advance not-
ice of a brilliantengagement,' but as
there was no flickering, and as the
light clime steadily from where the
comet had last been seen, the pro-
fessor concluded that he was seeing a
comet in processed developement. Tho
tax of the comet was thirty degrees in
'length, and extended from 10 degrees
above the horizon almost to the zenith
It was plainly visible to the naked eye,
and was watched for some time by
the corps of observers at the institution.

Word was received here on Tuesday

He was about 20 years of age. The
same young man narrowly escaped be-
ing killed aiew months ago by the ac-

An exchange, in speaking of an-
other gang of ligntning rod swindlers
who are going through the country,
says:—'They claim their company has
sent them to inspect the farmer's rod
and get him to sign a statement as to
the condition in which the rods are
found. That statement proves to be
an order for more rods, and the farmer
has to take them or settle. It is a good
plan for farmers to refuse to sign all
papers presented by strangers, or to
make his mark on the strangers back
side with the toe of a No, 10 boot.
Miss Minnie Taylor, eldest daughter
of John Taylor, while walking up Main
street Monday night, met with a se-
vere accident. She was carrying a
glass pitcher in her left hand, and
tripping over some object on the side•
walkshefell, breaking the pitcher - in
fragments. By some means her right
wrist came in contact with one of the.
pieces, cutting a deep gash about two
inches long. The doctor closed the
wound with three stitches. It is quite
evident that one of those nails sticking
up about half an inch above the side
walk is what the young'' lady tripped.
over, and it is well to':call the attention
of the roper authorities to this exist-
ing nuisance.

Always when our local eotem opens
his•capacious maw and displays his
jejune babblement he slops off more
than he can comfortably masticate and
digest. The Times editor is, we know,
what Darwin sought after, an educe,
tor of the masses, but he fell :short on
the scholastic dissertation in his last
issue, when critizing an ,item in our
issue of the week previous. ' We can
see no error in our item, but no doubt
this very learned gentleman of utas-
siye intellect, whose literary excellence
is unsurpassable, can. If our unfriend-
ly critic would learn to correct the mis-
takes and blunders in his own erratic
sheet and learn to keep his nose out of
the affairs of others he might possibly
have room to shoot of his "bazoo". How
will his learned nibs account for the
following sandwiched and egregious
blunder which crept into that infallible
?): sheet, the Tinies, last week under the
heading of "Condensed District News."
"The Methodist church Wingham was
the scene of a very pretty wedding on
Wednesday morning, when Florin, C,
eldest daughter of F. G. Sparling, Esq.,
of the firm of Gray, Young & Sparling,
salt manufacturers, was united in mar-
riage to Wm T. J Homuth & Son, mer-
chants of this town." We have heard
of one man marrying two or more
wives, (Brigham Young for instance)
but never heard of two men niarrying
one wife at the same time. Sharp
"Alecks" have been known to "exca-
vate" for the downfall of others, and be
the first victim to fall therein. Where-
fore, "let him that thinketh he standeth
take heed least he fall."

The members of Lebanon Forest
Lodge No: 133 A. F. & A. M, accomp
anied by a large. number from Clinton
and Zurich Lodges, attended divine
service in the Main street Methodist
church on 'Sunday last. At about
10.45 the brethren,_ numbering about
seventy-five, formed in procession and
under the direction of Bro. M. Eaerett
marched to the church, where Bro Jas.
Livingstone, of Kincardine, delivered
one of the ablest masonic discourses
ever delivered to a like gathering. He
took for his text, Job vii, 12—" -What is
man, that thou shouldst magnify him 2
and that thou shouldst set thine heart.
upon him." His remarks were well
based and his discourse throughout
was attentively listened to by a large
and appreciative congregation. The
choir acquitted themselves admirably
by singing appropriate hymns. " After
the brethrenreforming and marching
to the hall a hearty vote of thanks was
tendered the worthy brother for his
able remarks.
