After considerable trouble be was found, and the man was so gratis ItesLat_finding_the_ woyey.that he actually_ gave the boy fifty cents. THE WEATHER.—The beautiful,balmy, spring•like weather•of Sunday was hailed with delight by all. Hundreds tripped • up and down the streets, utilizing all the sidewalks that were clear of snow, and everybody was preparing to lay aside their winter clothing, and looked pleased that the warm sunshine had come at -last. On Monday the scena changed. Nobody cared to be out any longer than business required, and they wanted to put on all thewinter clothing they possessed. The thermometer felt ashamed oftbe sudden change and hid itself. We may have spring after awhile. HORSE NOTES —Mr. Jas.

We can cordially recommend him to the penplo of Blyth and vicinity as doe in -whom they can place the fullest confi- dence. and as he thorpughly understands all hranch'es•nf the position, will doubt- less receive a fair share of trade.

Still,.Mr. oster bas succeeded admirably, and has 'pro- duced a photo, which as a work ofert it would be exceedingly difficult to excel. It will be on exhibition to -morrow. .

There is a large tract of country almost wholly unsupplied with railway facilities, as evetyboby knows. 'between Kincardine and Goderich, and our Clinton friends.only expose their shrewdness and farsightedness by adhering to the route that would prove so overwhelmingly at- tractive on the all-important question of railway business and of bonuses.
