DISTRICT MATTERS. Wants sou Lreemeate-The BellTelephone Company would be glad of all the experi- enced telegraph or telephone linemen they can get hold, of just now to work in Toronto for a feee weeks. Application should be 'made et once at 37 Temperance Street, vious occasions the minstrel show on Friday erening last under the auspices of the Bea- ver lacrosse clab was well patronized, the hall being full. The many jokes of the end men were funny 'and of the latest ; while the various solos and choruses were well rendered and much appreciated by the audience. Mr. G. B. Seet0s sermon was, exceedingly comical and kept the audience in roars of laughter. The entertainment was wound up by an emusing farce, and all felt that they had s -pent an enjoyable even- ing ; and following the old sew of " laugh and grow fat," expected to wake up in the morning and find themselves quite.corpalent. RtssawAn.-A horse belonging to Mr. ieorge Levis, Massey -Harris agent of Cline on, made things interesting for a while on lain street on Tuesday afternoon. Mr. evis was driving towards the railway sta- on, and when nearly in front of Dick's he- el, attempted to turn around. In doing so he cutter upset, frightening the horse, Which made up the street at a lively pace. At the Queen's hotel it took to the sidewalk and after taking the cutter over a pump, re- tarded to the road, and continued its per- egrinations on up North Main street for some distance, when it trotted into a yard, and was then captured. Strange to say iteither horse, cutter, nor occupants were any the worse of the little escapade. i Ties PowEn. or LovE.-The Henna Ob- ' erver of last week lies the following, which s too good to be lost : One of our Ffensall itizens who took patt in; the West Huron Contest tells an amuSing incident in whieh he was an actor. Being requested pc. drive to a certain place and bring a voter to the poll, he went and after considerabie tramp - ;leg through the snow found the voter chop- p'mg in the woods. He reqeested him to go with him and vote . for Weismiller, but the man refuSed point blank. With disgust and discouragement pictured upon his face, ue Hensel" friend started back on biaweary errand through the snow. He had not gone far, however, when he met! a young man eoming along with determination outlined on every feature of bis neble countenance. " Can't you get that man ?" enquired the youth. "No, ' said T.; "I have done my best but he won't come.: ' " He has. got to, said our young hero, and continued : " You see it is this way ; 1 fini engaged t� hia deughter, aud if he don't come the whoIR -affair is off." The young man proeeede and delivered his intimation and the old man sprang off the log and struck out for the polling place with -the alacrity of a sehoed boy. Young men,- you have great power. Use it judiciously, • THE TR kilr Soo/Eva-Rev. Dr. Moffatt, the efficient and energetic agent of the Upper Canada Book and Tract Society, preached in the Egmondville Presbyterian church on Sribbitth merning last, arid in the Presbyterian church, tea:forth, on Sabbath i-, evening.
