The Last Sleigh.—Ree. Rura1Dern
Hodgin.s, 'of St. Thomas church, Ias
kept a record of when the last sIei h
for the season was seen on the
streets of Seaforth. This record ex-
tends over a period of ten years
and is a very fair indication of the
date at which -balmy spring, opened,.
The following are the -figures: 1895,
April 6; 1896, April 7 e 1897, March
26; 1898, March 11; 1899, April 10;
1900, April 5; 1941, April 1; 1902,
March 12; 1903, M roll 7; 1904, April
16, It will be Inoticed that this
spring is the latesfI for several years.
• A Brilliant R ord.—Mr. Samuel
Murray, brother of Mr. John Mur-
ray, of Hullett, erid of Mrs. Harry
Tyndale, of Tuckeesmith, has pass-
ed a most brilliant examination at
the Ontario Veterinary College, To-
ronto. t He Scoured honors in ma-
teria medica, second prize in chem-
istry, honors ,in j.atho1ogy, physiole
ogy, anatomy anL eutozoa, besides
winning the gold raeSal given by
the Toronto Ind strial Association
for dissected sptoiraens. A very
cee,ditable record indeed. We un-
derstand Dr. Murray has commenced
the practice of his profession in
The Guelph Excursion. --Mr. Robert
MeMordie, secretaey pro tem of the
South Huron, Farniers' Institute, in-
forms us that at e. meeting of • the
Executive of the Institute held in
Hepsall on the seventh of April, it
was deoided to ha e an excursion to
the Ontario Agrieu tural College and•
farm at Guelph on the llth of June,
next, of which urther intimation
will be given in due time, as to
rates and °Hier s ecessary informa-
tion. These 4ixou :ions are among
the moat pleasant a d popular events
of the season and all will bo pleased
that arrangements have been made
for one, this year.
Clever Cartoons —Cartoo ,have
-been exhibited i • different store
windows advertisin the Beaver La-
erteosse minstrels for this Friday
%tight. These ea • •ns, which are
from the pencil of Mr, G. B. Scott,
the versatile "Grog .,"picture Hon.
G. W. Ross, men about town and
some of those taki •et a leading part
in the minstrel show. They are or-
iginal in idea, lifelike in depiction
and skilful in execution. Mr. Scott
has, in these cartoons, certainly ex-
eelled all previous efforts in. this
line, and has proved that he is as
clever a cartoonitet as he is a hum-
orist wrIker, and the many who read
and enjoy his letters as they appear
from time to time in The Expositor
can testify Chat these articles can-
not be surpassed by any, humorist
'of the day.
A Generous Gift.—As will be seen
in another, column, Mr. Jame Mc-
Michael has purchased the bowling
green, paying Therefor $300. It is
Mr. McMichael's intention to make
the bowlingclub it present of the
!green. Such liberality on the part
of Mr. liklitlichael will, undoubtedly,
be greatly appreciated by the' bow -
lore, and is a fitting example of Mr.
'McMichael's enthusiasm as a bowler
and an exponent of pleasant sum-
mer 'outdoor amusements for busy
men. To Mr. McMichael belongs the
honor of being instrumental in or-
ganizing the Seaforth bowling club,
and since its inception he has been
one of the most enthusiastic and
ener,eetio members of the club. Not
only that but he is one of the crack
playerand has ma,ny trophies
whichsprove his skill. He was the
first president of the Seaforth club
and has each succeeding, year been
unanimously re-elected to that pos-
ition. Another distinction which
Mr. McMichael possesses is that of
being ethe oldest bowler, in point
of agneNn the province. We trust
that Mr. McMichael will be spared
many years yet to enjoy the pleas-
ant summer hours with his friends
on the green.
•
Winter Travel in the Wet.—On-
tario people who had to trayel on
the railways durinl the recent snow
blockade were w nt to complain
very bitterly about the delays and
the length of time required to get
from one place to another. But in
comparison with •thee places, our
Ontario people wer well served, even
when things we et t their worst. A
correspondent tv s the following
particulars of a tri on the main line
of the 0. P. 11. 1 om Winnipeg to
British Columbia. It knocks the de-
lays on the Mlle abused, Grand
Trunk into the eh de. Ite says: "One
almost needed th patience of Job
to bo contented uith the rate at
which we came. e 'were five bou
late in leaving Wi nipeg on Fri(y,
February 19th, we lost three, hours
tft Brandon by a car running off
the track ; then e. st of Swift Cur-
rent, a dead freight blocked the
track for eight ours • at a place
where not a sing e house could be
seen in any direction; another hour
was spent- in th wing out some
frozen pipes at Med eine Hat, and the
last delay 'occurred St Bear Creek,
where we had to w Lt for the belat-
ed East bound expr se. Finally, we
arrived at Sicarao s Junction only
twente--six , hours tote. This neces-
sitated a stop over •Ua day and tvvo
nights there befor I was able to
start again for •• y d.estinatien on
Lake Okanaga,n, but I at last arriv-
ed here on .Wednes•ay evening, Feb-
ruary 24th."
Our Spring Blizza d.—Just as peo-
ple were commencing to congratul-
ate themselves on having emerged
frora a very severe inter and were
joyfully lociking for ard for a beau-
tiful spring, their hepes were some-
what chilled on Fri ay last by one
of the severest bli zards of the
season. Here the s t ow commenced
to fall early in the afternoon and
continued until abut mid -night.
Snow fell to about the depth of
six inohes on the level, but the
cold was not intense, only the un-
expected visitation caused house-
holders to look into t ieir empty coal
bins with a good deel of misappre-
hension. The storm
throughout central a
tail°, being most seve
ern part of the Prov
to be the heaviest sn
season for thirty yea*s. The trouble .46
originated in the Western States,and be
moved rapidly toward e the east, the w
centre of the storm being just south
of Lake Erie. The s owfall bessame
lighter as the sem.n moved east, •
and there was very 1 ttle in Sing- -
sten and none la Otta*a. The south-
ern and southwestern portion of On-,
tario was the only part of tbe 00=4
try affeetedt The storm Struck the
weetern peninsula about 8 o'clock
Friday morning and there Was almost'
a foot of snow Friday night, on the
bevel. The street cars in 'the event -
ern cities were tied up an4 the lines
completely blocked. It Was about
noon when the storm reaxdied Toron-
to, and: it increased in siegerity un-
til the evening_ it retched the pro-
portions of a, blizzard. The snowfall
however, was _comparati•eiy light,
the estimateof the weath r bureau
being only about three inches.. The
oldest inhabitaht will ecollect a
storm somewhat similar to this in
1875, just twenty-nine years ago the
same day of the month. . The weath-
er was very much more .severe how-
ever, the thermometer having drop-.
ped to 14 degrees. Slinee that date
there has not been such a violent
storm recorded by Mr. Stupart at the
Toronto observatory at such a seas-
on. The year named the ileople at-
tended the Brucefield Spr ng Fair in
sleighs and cutters. But, tiefort that
there had been a couple of weeks of
very fine spring weather -the roads
were dry and good and a good deal
of seeding had been done.

From Moose Mountain District.—.
We are in receipt of a letter from
Mr. Thomas Jarrett, written at Car
lyle, Assinibola, N. W. T., on Apri
12. Mr. Jarrett is an old Huron boy
being a native of Hills Green in thi
county. He was fee several years a
successful sohool teacher at Cart
wright and is -one of the bright
promising young Huronites who have
gone to the Northwest to make a
fortune in that great country. Ile
was, also, for several years a valued
ceriespendent for The Expositor and
we shall always be greatly pleased to
hear from him in that capacity. We
aro permitted to take the following
extracts from his interesting letter.
He says: "Carlyle is a town of a-
bout 300 of e population and is situ-
ated on the Arcola extension of the
C. P. R„ 89 miles south west of
Souris, The present terminus of this
lino is Arcola, eleven miles west of
here, but the !grading is done and
part of the track laid, between Ar-
cola and Regina. The through.line
is expected to be in operation by
August. We were without a train
or mail tor two weeks in March. A
rotary plow had to be called into uee
to dig us out. Carlyle has five el-
evators. Elevators are the 'business
barometers of Northwest towns, so
no further words are necessary to
prove that the Moose Mountain Dis-
trict, as the district is known, is
one of the best wheat growing dis-
riots in the wet. We have three
=evil stores, two hardwares, res-
taurant, drug store, furniture store,
Iwo luipber yards, two implement
firms, Frost & Wood, Massey -Har-
ris and Deering; barber shop, law
office, two blacksmith sleeps, two
livery stables, Union Bank, skating
rink, two hotels, one jof brick and
stone, the other of brIck. The lat-
ter is one of the best !equipped and
conducted hostelries West of Winni-
peg, so the commercial men, say, and
they are in a position to know.
This hotel, called the Del Monte, will
compare with any in your well
known town. Of cenrse the prices
aro somewhat higher both for board
and liquid refreshments. The Del
Monte has over twcnty-five regu-
lar boarders besides travellerse and
by the, way, the boarders are, with
the exception of one, all young men
of enterprise, who are building up
businesses for themselves. Oh 1 ye
Huron maidens 1 What a chance for

ECHOES
—FROIVI OUR—
LADIES' READY-TO-WEAR
DEPARTMENT.
Did you ever investigate the construction of a Duck's back and
learn what it was•that kept out the Rain
The Material in 'Our Rain Coats is different to the Duck's Ooat
—.but the effect is the same. No admission to Rain I
There are other Rain Coats in town, but the Rain Coats we sell
are of April, 1904, type—right down to the day you. are reading
this announcement Could there be any Newer Coats
All the pretty Conceits in Capes, Sleeves, Pockets, Strappings
—Even to the Buttons—are to be seen in our $5, $6.50 and
$7,50 Rain Coats as well as in the finest $14 Coats.
If you prefer Tweed Effects you can have them. If your fancy
rune in the direction of Navy, Grey, Fawn or Black you have
only to say so, for there's -plenty to choose from.
Is it a Threeluarter or a full length Coat you have in your
mind 7 Both Kinds are here, and there's a nice quiet place in
which you can try them on—free from the gaze of other people
Competent and obliging ladies will assist you in selecting the
garment most becoming to your figure and if needs be—make
any alteration free of Cost.
Have you bought your New Spring Waist? At the time of
writing—the latest shipment came by Express. We had Nice
Waists before, but the New Arrivals filled the " Waist " places
and made the assortment more Complete,
The Washable Waists are made of Canvas Cloths, Mohairs,
Cambria, India Linens and very sheer Lawns. They are shape-
ly and beautifully trimmed, but the most interesting part of the
show is the Style and Value of our $1, $2 and $3 Collections.
There will be no possible excuse this Spring for not having a
Silk Waist, for we have them at little more than the price of
fairly good Cotton Waists, There's a score or more made of
Real Japanese Silk in sizes 32, 34 and 36, at S3 each,
Those who have a hankering after really Elaborate Silk Waists
can have their thirsts supplied—for there is a cluster of High
Oleos Waists—Gems in Waistdom, at $5,50, $6.50, $7.50 and
$9 each.
There's a brisk movement in the Ladies' Skirt Section, Never
had better Skirts—Never had better Value. The price story is
short, $3 to $10 each—hat that's not the whole story—we ,,hive
the other part--" to be continued."
The lady who manages the Millinery department would like
to say something about the Ready -to -Wear Hats, but she's very
busy, so we'll have to speak for her.
This is the sum and substance of what she would like to have
you know. In all the years of her management she doesn't re-
member having such a variety of Ready -to -Wear Hats as she has
to show you this season.
The stock comprises everything you could wish for in Dress
Hats, School Hats and Children's Headwear, Though she and
her assistants are as busy as bees—she will find time to wait
upon you when you come.
We extend a cordial invitation to everybody to come under our
protection for Rain °oats as well as other Coats, Waists, &ids
Dress Goods and Millinery. There's no better place, and possib!
ly there are some places not quite as good.
