Cl ne,whp was abont to sever his connecti n with the lodge, on account of his eemoval from Seaforth. The address was eared and the presentation made on behalf of the members by brother M. Morrison. The present consisted of a raaseive gold finger ring, on which was ngraven the three links, the . emblem of the order. The address was cottehed in the most complimentary terms, and made fitting reference to Mr. Cline's long connection with the Order, and his valuable ser- vices in connection. with Fidelity Lodge, and the important positions he has held therein, having filled with fidelity and credit nearly every office in the gift of the lodge. It also expressed the regret of the brethren at losing so trade' a member, and tendered him the best wishes of his brethren for his own future as well as that of Mrs Cline. Mr. Cline made a suitable and feeling reply, after which the brethren spent an hour or so very pleasantly in their lodge room. FROM NELSON, MANITOBA. —AIR. EDI- ToR,—DEAR Sim—Perhaps a few words . from an old Huron friend will not come amiss to yourself and your _readers. I do not intend writing you- a long_ letter but just a few lines to let you know how we, in the vicinity of Nelson; Mapi- toba, are enjoying life and prespering. We had a .very cold winter and the snow was deep, but we lived through it all right. I was engaged in threshing most of the winter. We commenced about the middle of . September and finished on the last day of February. We threshed about 35,000 bnehels of grain. The crops were good, but there was a lot of &imaged grain. We did elle work with a--thres-her manufactured by Messrs. McDonald, McPherson & Co., of Stratford, Ont., and it did not cost us a dollar for breaks the whole season. The snow at this date, April 24th, is nearly all gone. Some people have commenced seeding, but I just started to plow yesterday. It has been rather cold -coatil this last few flays, but, at this writing we are hrtying the most beautiful spring weather,and the prairie fires are starting again. We are all well and doing well, and like this country and have no intention of going back to Ontario to live. We are living in hopes of having a railway to -Nelson this summer and I hope we won't be disappointed. . A great many of ray neighbors intend to break uP a great deal of land this summer1 eXpect to have about. 55 acres in crop this • 'THE HUR .seemeamee spring.

The following re- solutheu was adopted viz.: 1 That the 9th df May be set apart as Arbor Day, and t at the council purchase 300 trees for panting on that day, and distribute thernl free of charge to the different rate- paye a who will plant them, and that the c unoil act as a committee to super- intend the plapting of the same. A cone inittee was also appointed to purchase the trees. We hope the efforts of the emu il in this &tactic); will be section- ed b the ratepayers, nd that at least the ntnnber of trees provided by the counoil wi I be planted,. 1111- the ex- pense the people have to incur is simply the cost of planting, as the council fur- nish the trees and box thern. !

The secretary con- cludes his report as follows "lJpon the whole I think we have had a fairly successful yeanand, although the mem- bership ought to have been greater, still the reading room has been well attend, ed, the circulation of books from the library unusually large, and the Insti- tute has not only paid its way, but the year closes with a surplus of $53.22 to the credit of the Institute in the hands of the Treasurer." The result as shown by the anneal report is certainly grati- fying;and we would not be doing justice to Mr. Moore, the librarian, did we not say that most of this success is due to his energy and zeal in behalf of the In- stituter It would, indeed, be hard to replace him, and we hope the managing committee will see their way clear to accede to I the recommendation a the meeting, !and recognize his efficiient services in a ta,ngible way by giving him an increase of salary, as the salary he now receives ia not at all adequate re- muneration for the labor he performs. .rails, and bow the re thing succeeded in crossing these wi bout falling in is a mystery to every on_ the bridge -tender at not seem to be a bit journey, and watt ne about by her novel rounding& .She badi \pretty narrow eseape and a aomewhat dangerous ad- venture.

They would have taken her back with t em, but she gave them: to understand t Lat she was going to a farm house ne_ar y. On receiving this einformation a arty headed by Constable Lusby, star el up the. track in quest of the waif. xriving at Staple- ton bridge they learn d from the care- taker of the bridge th t the little girl had!reached that far about dusk, and as she could not give any satisfactory ac- count of herself and WAS in imminent peril if 1 ft to pursue her journey, he took her to the residence of Mr. VanEg- mond oi the Huron road. Here she was mos kindly cared for, and when the part got to Mr.VanEgmond's about 10 o'cloc in the (riling, they found her oonafortably stow d away in bed and son0 asleep. They, of course, took her back with them and restored her to her mot er who was over-joyed at her recovery Between this and Clinton there are a large n mber of cattle guaeds which are now filled with water, and nothing to cross oi except the two The teachers in -Ithe First Pres- orth, held a free. • tth their, annual 911 01 °Moore, on Tea was served church at halle ich the business' a was proceeded efficers were re- ey,Mr. D.

SHODDY CLOTITe understand that there are a cou le of shoddy cloth peel - diens operating n this vicinity just now, aedlit is surprisittg theamount of stuff they dispose of af a the persons to whom they sell. Were they cannot make cash sales t1 y take notes pay- able, usually at six u nthe from date. The goods they sell re, as a rule, the Veriest trash and are 'ot worth making up much less paying! or. To show the exorbitant profit the ee dealers have and the manner in which!' they dupe those who buy from them e may state that we know of instances where these notes have been sold at a a ave verying from 25 to 35 per cent. Wen we count this together with the jrofits which the dealers must have o enable them to carry on their (teen ation, we are safe in saying that those Who purchase from them pay nearly a411,alf more than the goods are worth, a that much more than they would eve to pay regular and reputable deelere, for similar goods. Notwithstanding this patent faCt, how- ever, there are peopl who will buy this trash and pay for it even more than they would have pay a respectable merchant for a god and serviceable article. An imnen4 amount of money is annually squander d in thie way, and the only ones who p ofit by thei trade are the peddlers 1 hemselves and the note shavers who be the notes. This has been demonst ated so often, and the public have hed such frequent warnings against dei ling with this class of traders that thos who do get bitten are not much to be j,itied, as they seem - determined not to pj fit by experience. However, as some in ocent parties may be victimized, we gi e another warning note, and those Whoheed it will he wise. 11 LOCAL BRIEFS.— . 3. G.

Whitlock, who took for his text the parable of the 'Good Samaritan." The rev. gentle- man, in the course of his address, re- viewed and depicted very clearly the condition of him whohad fallen among thieves, and referred to the land and generous treatment accorded" him by the Good Samaritan, who proved him- self a true and kind friend to him in distress, and a worthy example for all those who are now banded together under the different Orders for the grand and praiseworthy purpose of relieving distress and making provision for the fatherless and widow. He then alluded to the OCCaSiOli being that of the 64th anniversary of their Order, and from a report published'relative to the working of the Order, flatteringly commented on the rapid advancement made in point of numbers, the same having risen from 5 solitary members to over 500,000, and thee within so short a period. He also referred to the enormous sum of Money within that time contributed for be- nevolent purposes, and expressed his firm belief that so large a sum could not be spent! without resulting largely in good to the world at large. The speaker then coneluded an able address by urg- ing the b' ethren to take Christ for their true exarnp1e, and like Hint to do good wheneve and wherever occasion offer - led, not having respect to- persons alone, !but that love for suffering humanity which would lead them to make sacri- fices that others might be benefitted.

After the family had gone to church jim threw off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, took the buck saw and started eawing wood with the full as- surance of putting up sefew cords before nightfall. He was pursuing the even tenor of his way for a time, when he .was interrupted by some .one asking him if hehad run short of wood. Jim replied that he didn't think so, but he always liked to have plenty on hand. Jim's embarrassment can be better im- agined tlaan described, when asked if he didn't know it was the Sabbath day. AN ALARM BELL. — One afternoon last week yells and screams were heard in a bush about a mile from thisplace. It was said that the yells were audible over a mile, at les* theyproduced such a sensation in the neighborhood,, that some were afraid their wives might be harboring e. belief that a horde of wild Indians were on a scalping ex- pedition. At last some of the bravest undertook to find out whence proceeded these alarming sounds. The mystery was soon solved. A big boy was left to keep watch over a number of kettles of boiling sap while his father had gone on an errand, and during the father's ab- sence the sap boiled over, so the youth was sounding his human tocsin.

Bluevale. 1 COMING AGAIN.—MT. Alex. Cowan, of' Michigan, was over on a vieit to his friend. Mr1W. Hannah, and while here was so captivated by one of Bluevale's fairest daughters, that he confidentially informed a fri nd that when the autumn waneth he intends returning and will then add one to the exodus.

Timmins, merchant, fell into the water and would no doubt have been drowned but for little Joe. Burgess, son of Majohn Bur- gess, valianlrescuing him, instead of running to gi e an alarm.

GENERALITIES.— . F. Bell leaves for Algoma in a coupl of weeks to look for a mill site.—We re having a back- ward spring, no gr wth yet but feed is plentiful. . THE FALL WHEAT OUTLOOli IN NORTH HUBON AND BRUCE.—Mr. Benjamin Wray, on a trip from Belgrave to Pais- ley, a distance of about 45', miles, informs as that the fall wheat is almost utterly useless, and that the most or nearly all of it will have to be plowed up. Mr. Wray says he has not seen fall wheat so badly winter killed for the last 30 years, and that farmers would do wrong to think of letting it remain without plowing and sowing over again. There was a great amount sowed last fall, therefore the farmers will keenly feel it, besides it will mike feed very scarce next winter; also the land will be likely to get filled up with weeds and rubbish as if the wheat is not there something meet grow. It is fortunate, however, for North Huron farmers that they have a large amount of old wheat on ha d in their granaries, as it will likely bellnuoh needed for home use. We would like to hear reports from South Huron and Perth. 1 I • MAY '4 1883. son to regret his new viature.—The 24th is to be a gala day here, And er. tensive preparations are beinimade to make the celebration a suoctss. and amusements of all kind a are on the bills, for which handsome prizes are tc, be given, and already base ball aad lacrosse matches have been arranged. for.
