As we have never seen them published, it may interest our readers to know how the several townships in Huron county got their names. HURON. -This county takes its name from Lake Huron, '!whose modern name is taken from the sobriquet of 'lure, or wild boar, given by the French to the Wyandotte Indians, on ,account of the manner in which they dressed their hair."

Some (Forest Tent -Cat- er -miller nests are seen in ev',- dence. These two pests, whose life's his- tory is much the same, pass the winter as' egg, masses on the twigs.

A. Robertson, whoy returned eeterdy a from an ex tensive trip to Japan, in company with Mrs Robertson, Dr. Lorne Rob. ertsnn and Mr, D. W. Forbes. The Jape, the doctor said, are building up along defensive lines, taking (Great Britain as their model. Their aim is what be in the east wh t 'Great Britain is in the west. Speaking of the Japanese people generally, Dr, Robertson desorib ed them as industrious, 'progressive, observant and subtle, and in their activity and alertness reminded him of a red squirrel. While=' not as far advanced as other nations in the mat -i invention, theyare unusually tee of rave y quick to adapt themselves to any thing, new.
