A TONGUE-TwI&TER. — Perhaps those who are fond of tongue -twisting sentences may like to repeat the fol- lowing correctly and rapidly :—The swan swam over the river; swim,swan, swim ; the swan swam back again ; well swam, swan !

On Saturday last the heavy -accumulation of snow was too much for the roof and it came down, bury- ing the horse in the ruins, but for- tunately it sustained no injury. GwN CLUB. — The Clinton Gun Club held its annual meeting for the election of officers, at the Queen's Hotel, on the evening of Thursday last, when Mr Jobe . McMurray was elected President; Mr John Johnston, Vice.President; Mr Chas. Milne, Secretary Treasurer. Committee— Mesers W. Foster, J. E. Blackail and C.

H. & B,, and they will see - ._-more corder -rod the further they -go, nortb, leading to the conclusion-1E8t• there is more shipped -from the -north than anywhere else. This is a delu- sion, however, as a little place known as Denfield,a few miles from London, has the honor of shipping more cord- wood every year than any other sta- tion along the line. THE SEASON.—People who a short time ago thought that the Canadian winter had gone back on its record, have bad plenty of reason to change that view. There had hardly been -a day for the last three weeks that there has not been a fall of snow, and on Monday night there was a,, fall of about two feet on the level. The country roads are very heavy, and the hill at the north of the town is a solid drift almost level with the fences CITIzENs' BALL. -- The Citizens' Annual Ball was held in the Town Hall, on Tuesday evening, there being about one hundred and seventy-five whe took part in the grand opening march.

A pupil ing, while Mr Young was lighting was also at work, whose subject was the lamps at the Rattenbury street Methodist church, for the meeting of the Bible Society, a large four -branch chandelier, •that had only recently been . hung up, fell down. All the lamps in it were lit, but three of them were extinguished by the crash, and the fourth was quickly put out before any further damage had been done. Mr Young intended going to, his tea, as soon as he had finished lighting the lamps, and had it fallen five minutes later, there would have been no question about the necessity of a' new ehurchi Too DRUNK FOR ANYTFINU.—On a recent Sunday morning, not a thou- sand miles from Clinton, as a gentle- man was on his way to church, he noticed a dark object lying in the snow at the roadside. His curiosity being aroused, he proceeded to in yestigate, and found it was nothing less than a human being, who had spent the previbue evening drinking at an adjacent hotel, until •he was hardly able to move, and in that- be- sotted and helpless condition had en- deavored to make his way home,until overcome by " fatigue, he bad laid down in the snow. The night bad been a cold one, and the poor wretch was almost dead when found, being speechless. It was several- days' be- fore he Cully recovered, even under a doctor's care, and the lesson he learn- ed did -not suffice him, for he went directly back to his old habits. SnomLD BE AMENDED,—By-laws are of House unless they areentorced, and sometimes their literal interpre- tation and enforcement overshoots what they were intended to accom- plish. When the council adopted a by-law, saying that no one should drive a horse in the town at a rate faster than six miles an hour, they no doubt did what they thought to be for the safety of the community ; but anyone who has driven a horse knows that in the literal interpreta- tion of this by-law, almost every ani- mal driven faster than a walk violates the law, and the owner is, therefore, liable to punishment. The great ma- jority of horses, when trotting, will cover more than six miles an hour, and as a great many do trot through the streets they violate this law. Now, we do not believe the promoters of this law had any idea of prevent- ing a horse being driven at an ordi- nary trotting gait, but they wished to place a check on a mach faster speed. We believe that the law could easily be amended so as to still cover the class of driving at first intended to be readied, and yet allow a horse to trot at an ordinary pace. a very lively looking squirrel. After a cordial reception, Miss Mountcastle said' Those are the four oil paintings I am ging to send to the Royal Ca- nadian Academy at Ottawa.' We looked. and saw a beautiful picture, ' Off Godericb,' a wide expanse of lake, with -a thunder storm rising in the distance, to the right a sandy shore and high sand bluff' crowned with trees, and Point Farm far away. The water is still as a mill pond, and shews a becalmed sailing boat and the reflection of the storm clouds. The picture is peculiar,and its warmth makes us forget we are in February, and while gazing into its dreamy depths we became oblivious to' all the toils and doubles of this life, and as this would hardly do, we turned to the next, 'A peep from a car window,' which claimed our warmest admira- tion. A stoney brook in the fore- ground winds far away into the dis- tance, 'with trees on either side. We would here observe that distance is Mise-Meuntcastle's strong point, as we appear to look miles away, over a landscape overhung by a glowing sunset sky. In looking at this pic- ture we were struck with the stillness and fidelity to nature. ' Beson Point,' Bayfield, is a very pleasing picture to the lover of water, and shews Huron in another mood than 'Off Goderich,' to the right is the high sand .point, still, we believe, the property of Mr Eason, late Reeve of Bayfield, from whom it takes its name. The fourth picture, ' Nearing the goal,' is the Bayfield river, with a boat loaded dent'y going to a beautiful bit of pleasure Dr. spoke on the Indian ques- SCHOOL SUPPLIES. THE BEST ASSORTMENT IN TOWN. SUBSCRIPTIONS RECEIVED VOR ALL KINDS Ole' Newspapers It is reported that a couple of wed- dings took place in this vicinity re- cently, that were kept a secret for several weeks after the events took place. Mr J.B. Crossen, who is insured in the Accident Insurance Co., and re- cently got his hand badly bitten by a horse, has received his claim of $20, through the agent, Mr A.O. Pattison. Mr Will Jackson, who went to the Montreal Ice Carnival, has beea laid up in that city for several days, by illness. His wide circle of friends here will be glad to know that he is recovering; and expects. to be home this week. - Mrs Shaw _who has 'for __years con- ucted successfully a iioardiing house here, is retiring therefrom, and will offer her furniture by auction, on the 2nd of March, together with her house and lot.

The Rev J. C. Farthing, B.A., will preach in St. Paul's church,' on Sun- day next. Mr Curtis Stevenson entertained his Sabbath school class at his resi- dence, on Monday evening. The Methodists of Kincardine, have shown their appreciation of the Rev James Hannon, by giving him a unanimous invitation to remain for the third year, and he has accepted the same. ' The friends of Rev John Gray will be pleased to learn that he is getting along well in Kincardine, being very highly thought of by all classes in the community. It is nothing more than we expected. The members of the W. C. T. U. thankfully acknowledge the sum of $15, sent to them through Mr Bur- chill, from the employees of the Do- herty Organ Factory, with the re- quest that it be used for the benefit of the poor. ' The Presbyterian choir had its se- cond snowshoe tramp onFriday even- ing last, to MrWeir's, on the Bayfield road, and the members are'all unani- mous in saying that the host and host- ess •are the right kind of people to visit ; they were very hospitably en- tertained, and spent a very enjoyable time. The aunual missionary services in connection with the Rattenbury St. Methodist church were held on Sun- day last. In the morning a very practical sermon was preached by the Rev Dr. Hannon, of Kincardine. In the evening addresses were given by the Revs Jos. Edge and Dr Hannon. Sleighs away down.

We recognized the spot imme- diately, as the scene of a picnic at which we were present. There is a little incident concerning this pic- ture, the relation of which will ex- plain the position of the lake. which should be in the opposite direction, to be in accordance with geography. Mise Mountcastle was staying an Bay- field, with a party of friend', when she made a eketch • of this beautiful group of trees, a looker-on said, ' What are you going to do with that ugly bank to the right ?"Oh 1' said she, 'I will move the lake there, and let the river run the other way,' which ase did, and all thought it a great improvement. Miss Mountcastle is as great a lover of flowers as of poetry' and of pictures; 113er windows are filled with choice plants, ' among which are several buckets of 'calla fillies, geraniums and fuscbias in full bloom, giving the beholder the feeling of summer. amongst them for two years. His address was another proof that expe- rience is a good teacher. Mr Edge's address was also a very interesting one. The collections and subscrip- tions for the day amounted to $327. The Ret A, Stewart will, on Mon- day, evening nett, the 25th, give a lecture, under the auspices of the Young Peoples'Association, to young men only. It will be a plain talk on nature's laws, their abuses,. etc., from a purely moral and religious stand. point, and will certainly be of profit to every young rl an who attends. We noticed in last w ek'e Toronto papers that Dr Clark, f that city, gave a similar lecture in Amoeiation Hall, which was crowded by the young men of Toronto,and the following morning the papers in cQmmentiag on the lecture, stated that were more such plain talcs given to our young men of this country the' would not be such physicial wrecks as ..we so often see.
