TUE LACROSSE MATCR. - The lacrosse
Match on the recreation grounds on Tues-
day evening between Clinton and Seaforth
cannot be said to have been eaciting, it was
too one-sided for that. At no stage of the
game dicl the Clieton players exhibit any
great skill and the ball was almost contimi-
ously on theirgoal. They came with only
aeleven players and consequently each term
played with only eleven men. Although
the Clinton defence endeavored to prevent,
big score, our boys scored the first four
goals. By loose playing on the part of
the Seaforth defence the Clinton boys
sexed thenaselves from being whitewa..ehed.
Seaforth shortly after this scored lenother
goal and when time was called the score re -
"maned at this, five to one in favor of the
° home team. The Beavers' next mateh will
be with Mitchell in that town. Should our
boys win this match, as they undoubtedly
will, they will be the champions of the
district.

l'IIE ELECTRIC STORM. - The severes
electric storm, of the sermon, passed over thi
district on Tuesday night. The storm Om
rnenced about ten o'clock and contin,ued
witliont ceasing until about theee the nex
morning; The rain came down in torrents
and the lightning was sharp and vivid,while
the thunder kept up a continuous rumble.
We have not beard of airy damage being
aone in this immediate ueighborhood, al-
though the reflections of three or four fires
vrere seen in the east. About eleven o'clock
the fire alarm was rung, but it was found
that the lightaing was playing pranks 'with
the alarm and that there was no fire at all.
-On Wednesday night another, though
leas severe, thunderstorm passed over this
parts About four o'clock in the morning
kghtning caused a fire alarin to be given
again, and the unearthly shrieks of the
Broadfoot & Box whistle awakened many
frdm their slumbers. The town authorities
shOuld do something to 'prevent this continu-
alla ringina of the alarm by lightning, as
people, aft.er being fooled so many times,
will fail to turn out when there really is a
fire.

INTERESTTh.'G RELIC. -In the e days when
eo Much is being said of anci nt relics of
one kind and another, it is worth while
noticing one which has been many years in
the possession of Mrs. Alex. W lson, sr., of
Silver Creek, aud which would be very in-
teresting to an antiquarian. It is it bound
volume of the Edinburgh.Journal, piiblished
in 1820. The paper is ri, small ized quarto
sheet, containing eight pages, and published
weekly. Some of the eorly numbers are
banded with black,. in mourning'for the re,
cently deceased -king, George the Thira.
From ats pages we learn that politierd fac-
tions and rivalries were' fully as bitter in
those days as at the present e. The age
was not so. fast as now. Ste ni and elec-
trioitar were not. motive powe s, but meh
and, women were moved by the same emo-
tions, they had loves, hater, anibitions joys.
and sorrows similar to those that affec't the
present generation ; and althaugh almost
every one acitively engaged in the arena of
life when this volume was published, is now
silently resting from life's Cares, yet the
world moves. The mantle hits fallen on the
next generatioa.

A TEMPERANCE ADDRESS. -The lecture
o Rev. S. Bond on " the present position
o the temperance and prohibitioa ques-
tion " -in the Methodist church en Tuesday
evening was fairly well attended. He
etated thet at the ptesent time there was
special need of studying the question and
ot stirring up the public mind on, the ques-
tion. Political parties have not been- die -
posed te t&ke up the question of prohibition,
but have tried to use it as opportunity
offered. The frieade of ' prohibition have
been to blame for this, because they' have
not been ready to etand by their principles,
and so a prohibibion candidate could • not
trust them. But- the qnestion has made
t
great progress until the Governmeht of the
p ovmce is ready to enact the most favor -
a le laws for restraint or prohibibion of the
la uor traffic up to the 'extent of , their
p wers and 'the Dominion Governinent is
p edged by its party -platform to give an

ported that bu s, beetles and worms, which
eevea showed u in Canada before, have
presented them elves since the 23rd of Jape,
and audging by he last clause of ourfriend's
remarks, we fe r he has got the insect pest
slightly on the rain. However, if there is
such a thing as worm eaten politics that is
what the present government seem inclined
to give, or, in other words, they have copied
the vices of the late Government and none
of their virtues.* For instance, the other
day a chap was pensioned off in the Senate
to make way for a renegade Tory, who is
now the Reformer's darling, and again there
is weakness and co-waadice exhibited in the
mention of commissions to do work which
the legislators were aent to perform and
with which any person -with ordinary lirains
is thoroughly convenient. It must be re-
membered that those who compose theae
commissions are paid, and well paid, which
means a double dose which the taxpayers
must swallow.
