A THEE AGENT in town has boon warned by the solicitors of it party in town not to deliver any trace or encroach upon the grouuds of the party of the second part under penalty of being prosecuted as a. trespasser, though the wife of the said party of the second part had purchased the trees. It would be a nice point of law for a court to decide whether a husband is liable for goods of this kind bought by his wife. DIE Uxeonru'A•rE MAN Mr. A. Sproat who was taken charge of hero last Friday by a Provincial bailiff for conveyance to the Asylum for the insane at London is a well to do man of Tuckei'srnith, and is on the sunny side of 50 years.

NOT IN THE ',SWIM.—Our grit town contemporary seems to have no 'fear alba puuishment•in store for false prophets. It indulges in the, to those concerned, innocuous pas- time of placing Mr., Porter, M. P., for West Huron, as the " dark horse " that is going . to win the Goderich post office stakes. It so happens that when people will 'talk about that which they know noth- ing of that ,they are apt to make mistakes. In the first place Mr. Porter is not dark, in the second place he is not a horse) in the third place he has no designs upon the Goderich post office. This is posi- tive from the party moat interested. We might say it is " official" Ho TIIERE ! TE.Ac1xEnS.—Mr. A. M.

COM\PARATIVI'.'LY PEAUTIFUL.— Ono of the foremost artists of his own or any other time, Hogarth, represented. the one line of beauty as a serpentine one, wavy and un- dulating. To prove his position he referred to the beautiful is still and animate life. The gentle undula- tions in a landscape whose surface is composed of rounded, swelling hills and gently depressed valleys between are betdtiful. The tower - and rugged abrupt re grand but not de an unrelieved ing mountains sided gorges beautiful, whi stretch of ,prairie is flat, stale and unprofitable .from au aesthetically beautiful stand point. Inanimate life he instanced the rounded pro- portions of the human form with its gracefully sweeping outliues, as also the curved and rounded out- lines of the horse iu illustration of of his theory of the beautiful. By comparing the ruggedly angular ° with the flat one can untlerstaud that beauty is composite, made up of neither the stiffness of the one nor the unredeemed levelness of the other. True it is that the im- mortal William has said that com- parisons are odious. But one Call - mot help making thein at times. One Uf those occasions in which the eternal lamas a(' comparison suggested itself was on Friday last when a flabby nt,.aa of horaeflesh of the Clyde breed and a fleabitten grey equine of greyhound outlines pass- ed our oflice in company. The Clyde was a flat, puffy mass of flesh frotu the tip of his nose to the roar and of his stubbed hirsute continua- tion. The other horse Was ewe necked, long, slim -bodied with abrupt slopes from his back and hip bones that world furnish a builder with an excellent model to construct the roof of a house by in order to secure"the least detention 'of rain under the moat copious showers.- Both these specimens of horse flesh were noticeable by comparison, travelling as they were together, but neither was beautiful. And the handsomest though not really beautiful was apparently so, and that by comparison and contrast with his scarecrow companion. • CLINTON AP.I30II DAY. Friday May the 3rd is the day proclaimed by Mayor Whitehead as Arbor Day. The following pro- clamation of the governor of Mich- igan may be interesting in this con- nection :— PROCLAMATION—ARBOR DAY. An old proverb tells us "That he who plants a tree loves others be- sides himself." The voices of the spring again reminds us of life and lives to come, and of duties to others that only the recurring seasons can ripen for enjoyment. In glad accord with a happy cus- tom, I designate as ARBOR DAY, for all that portion of the state ly- ing south of the north line of Mason, Lake, Osceola, Clare, Glad- win and Arenac cuunties,,Saturday, April 20th, and for all that portion of the State lying north of such lino, Saturday, May 4th. The axe and saw are fast disrob ing our .fertile State of her native green, and only those who are will- ing to plant and wait their reward, can give back to her and hoe rich soil the blessingsshe would preserve to our children. The blazed and crooked path through the dark forest, a few years since, has changed to the now dusty and shadeleas highway. Looking to the beauty, comfort and good of Michigan in days to come, wisely do our laws invite the adornment of highways, by provid- ing that : "Shade trees shall be planted along both sides of the public highways at the uniform distance, as near as may be,•of sixty feet apart, and not less than twenty-three . nor more than twenty-five feet from the center .of the highway," and that, "Any person planting shade trees along the high- ways, adjacent to property owned or occupied by such persons, shall be entitled to be credited twenty-five . cents upon his highway tax for every tree so planted, but not to exceed in the aggregate twenty-five per cent of such person's highway tax in any one year." On the ,Arbor Days appointed, let the trop planting be in such appro- • priate spot or place as the judgment may select, but -more especially would I urge, that this year our roadside and thoroughfares be re- membered. To the loyalty of a State, that has ever been true, And "builded better than it knew," to a people "loving others besides themselves," and desirous of their happiness, I do moat respectfully appeal for the observance of this beautiful custom. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I llave On this Fourth day of April; A. D. 1889, set tiny hand and caused to be affixed hereto the great seal of the State of Michigan. CYRus G. LumE. By the Governor : G. R.

He was on the verge of four score years. Ho was one of the pioneers of Goderich township. The writer -front boyhood, from in- fancy we might say, had known hint, and no more honorable or genial man ever lived. Not much of a politician, he was a'staunch English Churchman.

"Love the Brotherhood; Fear God". and was an exceedingly able dis- course The preacher analyzed Avhat " fear" of God was and what" love " to tho brotherhood should include. He practically applied the lessons deduced from the text and forced them home by appropriate illustra- tions: The choir did excellent service and the Quartette Club won great praise by the selections given by them. The members of the Or- der marched back to their Lodge Iiooin and passed a hearty vote of thanks to Rev. J. Edge for his ser- mon, on motion of Mr. R. Stoneham seconded by J. Smith.

P. C. E. Societyof the Ontario St. Metho- dist church gave a grand "farewell entertainment to their Vice Presi- dent, Mr. W. Kay, on Monday evening last, in the lecture room of the church. Mr. Kay has been loader of the choir for nearly two years and now goes to Caraonville Mich. A good programme of vocal and instrumental music, readings and epeechea was carried out. The Quartette club of which Mr. Kay is leader gave a number of popular pieces finely rendered, and Messrs W. Harland and R. Foster sang solos in good style. Mr. Foster and Miss Andrews gave a duet. Messrs Chant, Cornelius, Gibbings and Diamond formed an excellent brass quartette and played well. The choir rendered good service. The other part of the programme comprised readings by Rev. Mr. Livingstone and Mr. Manning, and a forcible address by Rev. J. Edge. Mr. Liv- ingstone is an elocutionist of high order, and the manner in which he read Poe'e "Raven" proves that ho is master of the art, Refreshments in abundance were served during the evening by the young ladies of the Society. Towards the close Mr. Kay was prostentod with a handsome album, teacher's .Bible and hymn book by the Society. An address altogether 'out of tire stereotyped form was read by Miss Nellie Walker and the presentation made by Mr. Diamond. —The new license law cute off 1,500 ealeonists in fiefdom and Htiil leaves 780 drinking places, ,--.w 7&$IOSU1TS STAND AS THE &roatost Baegains=the0ountry In And About The County. —Dr. Young, who recently prac. tiled in Wi"gham, has hung out his shingle at L'+dner's Landing B.

TWENTY PERSONS KILLED AND TWELVE INJURED Another terrible railway accidant occured on the Grand Trunk Sunday morning, just west of the junction cut on the main line, about two miles west of Hamilton. The train was the fast express, No. 52, eastward bound, due in Hamilton at 7 a. m. and was made np of ten coaches, as follows:—Engine No. 858, in charge of Engineer J. Watson and Fireman E. Chapman, both of London; two baggage cars, a smoker, a Chicago h Grand Trunk through car, Wabash first-class coach, Grand 'trunk first; class, and one Pullman and three Wagner palace cars., the train being in charge of Conductor W. Poole. The train was travelling at regular speed and passed the. switch at the west end of the junction or Y cut safely, but immediately on atrik' ing the curve a few feet east of the switch. THE ENGINE JUMPED TUE TRACK. and kept on the grade to the left of the main line, dashing into the monstrous water tank that stands between the two lines and levelling it to the ground se though it were nothing but a card house. The roof of the tank was pitched fully seven- ty-five feet away and the heavy timbers scattered in all directions. The engine turned a complete somer•. sault in the air and lies upside down on the base where. the tank had Mood, crosswise between the two lines of railway. The tender jumped the engine, the trucks being lett be- hind, and landed in the sand and debris. The two baggage cars had apparently kept close: to the main line, the first of which ran past the engine and tender and, a}xcept being badly smashed, stands nearly upon the maim line. The other baggage car, which was principally filled with travellers' samples was ground into small pieces, IMMEDIATELY CAUGHT FIRE and was burned to ashes, nothing being saved from it. The smoker piled In upon tale smashed baggage car, and catching fire, was burned also. The coaches that followed were more or less damaged by the shock and suffered the same fate from the overturning of the stoves, except the two rear Wagner sleepers which were afterwards detached and run to one of the stations westward. As soon as help arrived the work of rescuing the unfortunate passen- gers began. The train was a heavy one and had on board a large num- ber of visitors to the Centennial celebration at New York. Fortun- ately the cars stood right side up on the track and this made the work of rescuing much easier, It was an awful sight, and as the little BUNDLES OF CHARRED FLESH ' —At the assizes at Woodstock !apt week Aron M.

They were laid aside, and in half an bout a number of large boxes were brought upon the scene. In one of these four of the corpses on which no clothes, no limbs, NOTHING BUT TIM BLACKENED TRUNKS were left, were placed; another held three, and the rest were given each a shell. The men labored until seventeen had while still to the rear burning. Before the bodies were removed s thing than which nothing more re- volting could be seen on a field of war occurred. A dog lured by the smell of the bnrnrng flesh, crept in among the ruins and bepan to search around. WITH HOWLS AND SHRIEKS AND CURSES the half -maddened workers chased the brute away and the bodies were screwed down. Shortly afterwards near where the dog had been another corpse, unrec- ognizable, like all the others, was taken out. By this time it was five o'clock. The obstructing mash was hauled away and the gang of wreckers botgan to replace the broken and bent rails with fresh ones. By seven o'clock that part of the work wan completed and night began to settle down. The heavy rain clouds that had poured'tbemselves down all day be- came still more gloomy and firework of clearing up the hollow where lies the locomotive and the baggage car proceeded in the gloom.
