As one comes up town of caning, unless you are too busy ing that your., nose doesn't freeze, may often see some very fine imens of Jack Frost's artistic k on the windows of the different iness places. This is before the ces get well warmed up, of course, handsomest windows we have n so far are in Clark's cleaning pressing establishment. On one two occasions we have seen frost - which would be well worth an fist's copying, beautiful and state - landscapes, with trees, wooded ces and incredibly delicate trace Oh, Jack Frost is something of artist. No doubt the steam of sing, etc., causes these particular dews to frost over more than oth-' GRAPEFRUIT IN CLINTON Miss Cuningham.e, florist, has had on exhibition in the express office the past week a grapefruit grown in her own greenhouse. It is a large size and the fifth which has ripened this •season, The weather has been very cold this winter but certainly the temperature where this grape, fruit grew has been .all right, al- though no doubt the coal bin has had a good deal to do with it. These grapefruits are said to be of good flavour. 'The Cuninghames have from time to time grown grapefruit, lemons and oranges in their green- houses. RATHER A MEAN TRICK A little incident occurred recently in this vicinity which sort of leaves a bad taste in the mouth. A. young than whose home is in Clinton and a friend came over, from Detroit one day to indulge in a rabbit hunt. They tramped about some hours then got a fine jack and after carrying it for. a while theClinton boy suggested hanging it up in a tree to pick up on their way back. The American lad seemed doubtful at to the wisdom of this,saying he was afraid it might be stolen. But the Canadian laughed andsaid nobody around here would do such a small thing as steal a hun, ter's game, so they left it. But, this is the sad ,part of it, someone did steal that rabbit. It disappeared and the hunter boys got word of the .ap- pearance of the chaps who took it. But the game was . gone. However, the day was not com- pletely lost, far Rev. G. W. Sherman, who was out hunting also, gave a rabbit he had shot to the young hunt- ers who had come so fax for the day's shooting, and they took it home with them. This was a nice neighborly act on the part of a fellow -sportsman and wasmuch appreciated by the young hunters. THE MARKETS Wheat, 60c to 65c. Barley, 30c .to 37c. Oats, 32c. Buckwheat, 42e.

U. will meet Friday afternoon at three o'clock at the home of Mas. Elizabeth Kennedy, Ontario street. THE WEATHER • Everybddy's talking about the wea- ther and 'nobody does anything about it, so we might as well be in the node. Goderich was boasting last week a- bout its balmy weather, but we • no- tice that the work of chopping the boats 'out of the'iee at the harbor Is made very difficult by the fact that the water freezes during the night hard enough for a man walk upon. Nothing very summer-like in that sort of an atmosphere. We had a bit of a respite from the bitter cold over the week -end but Monday it started right in again with the temperature going down to twen- ty -odd, Tuesday was colder, the temperature standing at zero at one o'clock. Today, Wednesday, it is milder, rather pleasant, but we are promised colder tomorrow. 08, well, we ought to be used to it now and any way, it cannot keep this up more than two or three weeks longer at the worst. Spring just has to come along sometime. One of the serious features in re- gard to the unusual severity of the weather is that roots, potatoes ant' other produce has been frozen. One farmer in this vicinity is reported to have had forty bushels of potatoes frozen. This is a serious loss and others have had roots frost bitten. Frost spoils roots of any kind and the temperatures have been so much lower this winter than for years past that the frost crept in where it had never gone before. Nobody was pre- pared for the long sustained bitter frosts which we have had since the third week in January. PRESBYTERY MET IN CLINTON The February meeting of the Pres- bytery of Huron, United Church of Canada, was held in Ontario street church on Monday, the morning ses- sion convening at 9,30, the chairman, Rev. F. W. Craik of Goderich, in the chair: Rev. W. A. Bremner, secre- tary, was also in his place.

W, Mustard, a distant cousin of Mr. B. Mustard, his wife and little dau ter, were overcome with gas fu from the furnace and had not ass tante conte might have all lost th lives. The first one to come to th aid was Mrs. Andrews, wife of Clifford Andrews, formerly of 01 ton, who Iive next door. Mr. Mustard had stoked up furnace and had gone upstairs to study. He had felt a certain lango and a headache, as had also his wi but evidently had not noticed smell of gas. Suddenly the little g collapsed on the floor and the mot er had strength enough to go to t telephone and call her neighbor,. M Andrews, who opened doors and'wi dows and called in medical aid. Mustard was unconscious on a cou and the doctors said a very few ini utas more would have been fatal wi him, But all three were brought bout in good time. Mr. J. B. Mustard, local coal me chant, says it was probably cans by shutting off draughts too soon a ter putting in fresh coal. The fumes should be allowed to burn o when they pass harmlessly up chimney, If checked too soon t fumes come up through the hot a pipes into the house. 0n - a S. at M. gh- Ines is- eir eir Mr. in the his ur fe, the 151 h - he re. n - Mr. ch n- th a- r - ed f- se £f, tihe he it GIFTED AND USEFUL WOMAN From The Billings (Mon.)

Clinton put up a good game in the first two periods but the Beavers stepped out and scor, ed four goals in the final frame. Cul- liton was the star of the game, get- ting three goals •and two assists. Stade in the Seaforth nets also play- ed a stellar game, Nino penalties were imposed all for minor offences, five going to, Seaforth and four to Clinton. •Oulliton scored two neat goals in the first period, when Foster was in the penalty box. Rae camped in front of Stade and scored Clinton's first goal four minutes after the second period started. Buchman came back - with one for Seaforth two minutes later. Clinton replaced Dale with Brown in the net, but couldn't stern the at- tack of the Baby Beavers. Culliton beat Brown on a hot one from the blue line, 3 minutes after start of third Erne. Buckman scored anoth- err on a pass from Culliton, and Sam' Rennie did likewise en Culliton's pass, Holmes scored Clinton's second goal on a nice shot that just caught the corner of the net, Evan. Rennie notched the seventh goal, to end the scoring. The game was refereed by "Red Rath and "Rooster" Muir.

Colts Win Second Game Seaforth and Clinton played the secondgame of _a three -game series. for the championship of the group in the. N.H.L. League on :Monday night, and on winning tied up the series, the score being 4-3. The game featured some very fast hockey,, in Which good combination was a standout, also a breakout of tempers in the third period made the game, much more interesting for the fans, when McEwan and Sam Rennie start -- ed a little fracus in which the rest of ' the players seemed quite willing to join, along with some of the fano, but with the aid of some of the more peaceable spectators,the referees managed to control the outburst and things quieted down. Seaforth was minus their regular goalie and this no doubt weakened their team. In the first Clinton had a decided' edge on the play and it was in this period that the Colts scored their four goals, Pickett scored the first goal shortly after the opening' bels. A little later Streets scored from the blue line. Rae scored the third Rant a scramble its front of the nets and Holmes made it foul on a pass from Pickett !just before the bell rang: Foster and E. Rennie drew the pen* alties, Buckman was the new goalie in the second period and with Rennie on the defence, .Seaforth began to stage a strong comeback. Culliton ran in two goals for the Beavers in short order and held the Colts scoreless Holmes, Combe and Streets of the homesters' and Culliton drew penal- ties, the later two. The third stanza was very evenly divided and this (period featured the roughest hockey of the .game. Pen-, alties were numerous and at one time both teams were two then 'short.. Brown in the Clinton nets was play- ing a brilliant game. Culliton scored' the third ,goal and the Beavers came• close on several occasions but Brown rose to the occasion. Holmes, Dun- lop, Foster and, E. Rennie drew min- ors and McEwan and S. Rennie 3. n]inttos for toughing, it.
