To L V. FEAR, Druggist, Seaforth, Ontario: Dear Sir: For a long time past I have been greatly distressed with btomach trouble, suffering extreme pain with headache nearly all the time. I had tried every means within my reach, without relief • even physician's medicine had no effect. I was in a -very despondent way when, happen- ing to be in Seaforth one day, some- body recommended me to try Man- drake Blood Bitters. As it had re- lieved so many, I thought it might help me. I procured a bottle, and truly the relief was almost , magical. yrom the first few doses I began to improve, and, after taking a few bottles, I am like a different person altogether. Whereas life was a bur den to me, now it is a pleasure to live. If ever I have any symptoms of my old trouble, a few doses of your valu- able remedy fixes me all right. With pleasure I recommend Mandrake Blood Bitters. (Signed) WM. STEWART GODERICH Steam Boiler Works (ESTABLISHED 1880.) Zile futon txpooitov. DISTRICT MATTERS. Donnybrook.

CHRYSTAL, Stanley. • ENTERTAINMENT. -On Friday evening of last week, an interesting and successful open meeting was held in the school house by the Literary and Debating Society of School Section No. 1, Stanley. The entertainment consisted of a debate, an address, recitation, vocal and instrumental music, etc. The ad- dress was given by D. McTavish, Jr., on "Single Tax." The speaker gave a very clear and pointed address, shOring the chief features of the system, and giving some of tbe great benefits to society and mankind that would arise film its adoption. The debate was conducted by four young men of the society, on the siibject, "Resolved that Woman should heals the Suffrage." The affirmative was ably conducted by Mr. Alexander McLeod and Mr. William Scott, and the negative by Mr. D. F. McGregor and Mr. Frank Butchart. The speakers spoke well and to the point, showing that during the winter they had made good pro. grans in the art. They were listened to with attention, and frequently applauded by the audience. The decision was given in favor of the affirmative. The chairman of the evening was Mr. Alexander Eines, who very ably and pleasantly discharged hie duty. A somewhat lengthy programme was carried out, of which the following are se- lected. Readings by F. Butchart and A. McEwen; a dialogue by P. Baird and C. Rose, andone by R. Baird and P.Campbell. The month organ selections by W. McTav- ish, John Innes, W. Baird and E. Baird were well received ; John Scott, accompan- ied the month organ with the Autoharp. " Casabianca',' was - recited " by W.

STRUCK IT WELL, -Mr. John Henry, of the 3rd concession of Hullett, is said to have made a good strike lately. He has gone to live on the Deeves farm, Goderioh Township, and; it is said, gets the farm, stock, implements, ete.,-the whole outfit - for keeping Mt. and Mrs. Deevee the re- mainder of their lives. Wm:am-The residence of Mr. George Snell, Ifullett, was , the scene of a very happy and looked•for event, on Wednesday last week, when his youngest daughter, Annie, was married to 'Mr. Jacob Elseley, of Colborne. The groomsman was Mr. 11. Snell, brother of the bride, and the brides- ' maid, Mies H. Holmes, of Clinton. Hul- lett has been the birthplace of a great many amiable young ladies, but none were more so than Miss Snell, who enjoy! a wide ac- quaintanceship, and is deservedly esteemed by all. Mr. Elsely is also a popular young man, a native of Colborne, one of the en- terprising and well-to•do farmers, and is to ' be congratulated on securing so acceptable a help -meet. That their pathway may be strewn with nothing but blessings is a wish TRK EXPOSITOR joins in expressing. IN Mereoetem.-At a regular meeting of Hullett Grange No. 393, held on April 3rd, a committee was appointed to diraft a reso-° lution to Brother and Sister Nicholas °tim- ing, in their sad bereavement, the death of their daughter, when the following was adopted: Resolved, whereas it has pleased an all -wise Providence to take from our midst our much beloved and highly _esteem- ed sister, Maggie Cuming, who, after a At the Bank.

The Boston Globe has collected these examples of lucky finds: Three men while looking for gold in Cali- fornia discovered the dead body of a man who evidently had been "prospecting." " Poor fellow," said one of the trio, "he has passed in his checks." "Let's give him a decent burial," said another. "Some wife or mother will be glad if ever she knows it." They began to dig a grave. Three feet below the surface they discovered diens of gold. The stranger was buried in another place, and where they had located a grave they opened a got mine. An adventurer ho had drifted to Lead- ville awoke one rorning without food or money. Be wen out and shot a deer, which, in its dyin agonies, kioked up the dirt and dikolosed man staked out a of the moat profita, Leadville. "Dead Man Charm" the name given to another rich mine be, Leadville, was discov- ered by a broken down miner while diggiag a grave. A miner died when there were several feet of snow on the ground. His comrades laid his bodylin a snow bank, and hired x man for $4 to dig a grave. . The grave -digger, after three days' absence, was found digging a mine. An unsuccessful Australian miner went up and down Colorado for several months " prospecting" for gold and finding none. One day he eat down upon a stone, and while musing over his hard luck aimlessly struok a stone with his pick. He chipped off a piece and sprang to his feet. The chip was rich gold quartz. He hurried into the little town of Rosita, and went to the assay - office, where a teamster had just dumped a load of wood. He agreed to saw the wood to pay for assaying his chipped bample. The result of the assay sent him back to his " claim." When he had taken out of it $500,000, he sold the mine for $400,000 in cash and $l,000,000 in stook. Queer Regimental Pet. An interesting relic is preserved in a glass case in the Coldstream Guards' orderly -room at Whitehall, London. It consists of the head and neck of a goose, around which is a golden collar with the inscription, "Ja- cob, 2nd Battalion Coldstream Guards," beneeth it are the words, "Died.on Duty." In 1838, as related by The Million, when two of the Battalions were in Canada, help- ing to quell the rebellion, some of the sold- iers were posted as sentinels round a farm yard near Quebec. One day the sentry, whose duty it was to watch the entrance to the farm, beheld a fine goose fleein'g towards him, closely pursued by a fox. His first im- pulse was to have a shot at the latter, but this would alarm the guard. He was com- pelled, therefore, to remain silent, while 'every step brought Reynard nearer to his prey. In the height of its despair the poor bird ran its head and neck between the legs of the soldier, and at the same moment the wily fox made a desperate grab at the goose ; but too late, for ere he could get a feather between his teeth,the ready bayonet of the sentinel bad passed through his body. The poor goose, by way of showing its gratitude to its preserver, rubbed its head against his legs and made other demonstra- tions of joy. Nor could it ever be prevailed upon to quit the post, but walked up and down, day after day with each successive sentry that was placed there. The most re- markable thing in connection with the story is that the •goose in return actually saved her preserver's life. It so happened that that, same sentry was on that particular post about two months afterward, when a desperate attempt was made to surprise and kill him. It was winter time, and several men stole up in the darkness to the sentry's post, their footsteps inaudible on the snow. The soldier meanwhile marched up and down his lonely beat, followed by the de- voted goose, until he again "stood at ease" before the sentry box. This was the enemy's opportunity. But, just as two of 1 somewhat painful and lingering illness, which was borne with Christian fortitude and grace, has joined those who "have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb," and while we re- cognize Divine authority and power, we de- sire, on behalf of your brethren and sisters of this Grange, to say that death has not only entered your family circle, but has also entered our ranks, and taken from us one young in years, and most highly esteem- ed by your members. You have our deep- est sympathy.

The poor claim," and opened one le claim' ever worked in their number were prepariug with up,ifted knives to epriag upon the unsuspecting Man, the bird rose suddenly on its wings rrght in front of the would•be assassins. They were astonished and rushed blindly forward ; but the sentry, fully aroused to his danger, bayoneted one and shot at the other as he was running away. Meanwhile the other conspirators approached, but the bird re- peated teotics and enabled the sentry to eep them at bay until the guard came up- on the scone and made them fly for their lives. On arrival of the regiment in London the bird resumed its old duties with the sentinel posted at the barraek gates. Jacob was eventually run over by a van and died at the post of duty after a "sentry go " of twelve years. The Old Scotchman's Prayer. I was pleased the other day with a story which an aged man told me about an old Sootohmen who was on his way to some miesion work services. The old pilgrim was poor and ill -clad, and partially deaf, but he trusted in the Lord whom be served and re- joiced in His kind provideuce. Oa his way to the meeting he fell in with another Christian brother, a younger man, bound on the same errand, and they travelled on to- gether. When they had nearly reached the place of meeting it was proposed that they should turn aside and hive a little prayer, They did so, and the old man, who had learned to let his requesta be made known unto God, presented his cause in language like the following: "Lord, ye ken weel enough that I'm deaf, and I want a seat on the front bench if Ye can let me have it, so that I can hear Thy word; and Ye see that my toes are sticking through my shoes, and therefore I want Ye to get me a new pair; and ye ken I have nae miller'and I want to stay during the meetings, and therefore I want Ye to get me a place to stay • " When the old min had finished his quaint petition, and they had stated on, his younger brother gently suggested to him that he thought bis prayer was rather free in its form of expression, and hardly so reverential as seemed proper to him in ap• preaching the Supremo Being. But the old man would not accept the imputation of ir- reverence. "He's my father," said he; "He's Well acquainted with me, and I take great liber- ties with Him." So they went on to the meeting together. The old man stood in the rear for a while, making an ear -trumpet of his hand to catch the words, until someone noticed him, and beckoning him forward, gave him a good seat on the front bench, A lady who had noticed his shoes asked him, at the oloae of the service "Are these the best shoes you Save?" " Yes," said he, " but I expect my Father will get me a new pair very soon." "Come with me," said the lady, " and I will get you a new pair. Shall you stay to the end of the meetings ?" "1 would, but I'm a stranger in this place and have nae siller." " Well," said she, " you shall be welcome to make your home at my house during the meetings." The old man thanked the Lord that Ele had given hini all he had asked for, and while his brother's reverence for the Lord was right and proper, it is possible that he might have learned that there is a rever- ence that reaches higher then the forms and conventionalities of human taste and 'which makes the believer to come boldly to the throne of grace and to find all needed help in every trying hour.-Watahword. Tansy Kills Moths. There is one sure preventive of moths, and which I have never seen meotioned. It is tansy. Sprinkle the leaves freely about your woolens and furs and the moths will Dever get into them. 'When I was a child my grandmother used to mend me to the pansy patch on the hill with a large basket in which to bring home plenty of teney leaves. In the garret were five large hair. covered trunks, studded with brass nails, filled her beet blankets, coverlets, flannel sheets, etc. Some of them had never been used until my grandmother had grandchild- ren, notwithstaoding she always had a large family to provide beds for. But the supply of her bedding, linen and other household articles was in exoese of the demand. The fourth generation of her posterity are sleep- ing under these same blankets and blue and white coverlets now, which proves the ef- ficacy ofthat remedy of the olden time.

The latest hypnotic yarn from the Charite Hospital, Paris, oasts all its predecessors into the shade. Dr. Luys, it appear, has been making experiments in relation to what he calls the " exteriorization " of the human body, and it is asserted that he suc- ceeded in transferring the sensibility of a hypnotized woman into a tumbler of water. When the water was touched the woman winced, and when it was swallowed she went into a deadly swoon. How the drink er felt with another person's sensibilities in his vitals i8 not stated. Dr. Luys next undertook to transfer sensibility from the woman to her photograph, and succeeded so admirably that when he stuck a pin into the picture the woman screamed. Not ably this, but the mark of a scratch appeared upon her hand in exactly the same epot where the pin had been applied to the pho- tograph. It is lucky for Dr. Guys that he is living in the nineteeth century, for many an old woman has been hanged and burned for doing this sort of tbing. Before long, doubtless, basellnd football players will be able to transfer their sensibilities to the um- pire, which will be very convenient. Free Trip to Chicago.
