Rhynas of Detroit were in attendance at the funeral of his sister, the late Mrs.K. Morris, Colborne tp. The entertainment "Loudon by Lime Ligitt.," in the North street Methodist church last week was au exceedingly good one. On the 6th inst the Sur publish ed the result .of the voting at the recent election giving all credit to the N. W. T. Co. Noti';ing the unfairness of such a proceeding, I wrote the following. The Star in giving the remelt 1•f the election gives the N. W. T. Co. al the credit, whereas at least half of the re- turns, and the earliest ones read by him in Victoria hall, were furnished by the C. P. R. It eeerns strange that a piper that is apparently in Payor of the C. P.R. extension to Goderich should he doing its best to disparage that institution on almo t every available 000asion. D see the Star think that its action will has•en the Guelph and Goderich Junction Railway ? On the 13th the Star admitted the truth by praising both Com- panies, but its truthfulness did not suit some boss, and it being t,n- possible to hark back it tries to wither the correspondent of the NEWS -RECORD in the . following original article. If the author of the foregoing etupiti< paragraph—the erode( lob norreepondent of the Clinton News -RECORD -- was animated more by a desire to help Goderich than to have a fling at the Star, he would keep somewhere near the truth. When he says that The Star ever pub- lished even one paragraph "to disparage that institution" he wilfully and stupidly lies. The Star has done more in support of the C. P. R. and the to'.vu of Goderich in one week than this petty scribbler has done or could do in ten years. These re musks may not be atr'ctly parliamentary, but they are intended to be plain Eug- lish. "Want a fling at the Star 1" No, no, I want something brighter and cleaner to waste ink on, but if to state an adiuitted fact is to take a fling then I acknowledge I hit tete shifting satellite. The little squeal that the Star never published any- thing to disparage the C. P. R. T. Co. can easily be settled by referring to the issue of the 6th of March. The egotistical statement that "he could do more for the C. P. R. and the town of Goderich in one week" than the writer of this column has done, or could do in ten years is like many of his brainless ravings, the outcome of his pompous sof importance and overweening conceit. Imagine if you can the calibre of a man who parades him- self as aSabbath School superintend - ant, using such language as that above noted. Surely the Star man should know that young people could not read the front page of his awfully popular paper as iesued last week without being morally injur- ed. Unlike the Star man I never claimed to run the town and the C. P R., conduct a Sabbath' School, or control the dull Star of the present day, but like many of my townsmen I have done my best for Goderich and the want of success in the past has been caused by an incubus, in the shape of a Star that gives no light: As the controller of the dull orb has attacked me with- out cause I reciprocate by asking him to give me my Star less blotted and blurred, then I might make use of it, by sending it as a patent All the numbers given before the medicine advertisement among the lecture received well•merited en- Esquimaux.

There was an excellent carnival at the Palace skating rink last Thur - day evening at which a very large number of valuable prizes were dis- tributed. The harbor is so full of small fish, that the water is almost hidden. Several calculations have been made as to the number of the finny ones, and the lowest one given is up in the hundreds of millions. The old poplar's on the square have disappeared. Although in the past they afforded pleasant shade to thousands of people, they have been cut down to make room for weakly scions of popular fancy. AT ST. GEORGE'S Crli:ncu ON EASTER DAY.— MORNING.

Miss Annie \IcAsh has returned home from visiting her friends in Michigan. Miss Maggie Taylor has come hone from Detroit. \Ve hear there is going to be a pleasant event in c'unection therewith—that she is going to become a Diamond iustead of a Taylor. I did not see any mention in your paper of the man of strong arm who accompanied a ward of his from this place to your town on the evening of the election to en- joy the news of the sweeping of the Government of that old rascal John A. out of existence. Nor of how they got so faint when they heard that the Government was sustained that it quite staggered them. Orangeism in this section is flou:- ishing like a green bay tree. Pro- gress has been the order ever since our present County Master deliver- ed his lecture on Orangeism here two years ago. There are many good and earnest workers in L.O.L. 1035. A monster degree meeting was held in the hall on Thursday night. Ten nretnbers were advanced to the Royal Arch. Thorn were many visitors.

Pentland recently sold ten head of cattle ti Mr. Thomas Webster of Lucknow, NIr. \Vm. Morrow whose leg was amputated above the knee, about two weeks ago, is getting along as well as can be expected. The taffy -pull in honor of those members of the Nile I. 0. G. T. Lodge who were going to Dakota, which was held at the residence of Mr. John Tifron was a grand success. It occurred on Tuesiay of last week and the boys started the next day. A picked team of foot•hall players from Dungannon came here last Saturday to play a friendly game with our school -boys. Good play- ing was done on both sides but neither won a goal. The game was therefore called a tie. They played for an hour. Tho ground was rather rough and altogether tou wet for pleesure, but the boys enjoyed themselves. "It is our sad duty to chronicle the death of one of our neighbors, Mrs. Kenneth Morris. She had been suffering from pleurisy and inflam• mation of the lungs for some time. Her demise therefore was not alto• gether unexpected. IIer funeral which took place last Friday was largely attended. IIer husband, three sons and one daughter have the sympathy of the neighborhood in their bereavement. a1y th.

B. Kelly's brick store. Mr. 'Phos. Potter, who has been living in our berg for a couple of yearn past, intends moving during the week on to Alex Day's fare, iu East Wawanoah. Success, Tuntnty, Professor Edmofds and his troup was billed to appear here for Mon- day evening but they failed to put in appearance up to time of' writ- ing. Large quantities of grain have been brought to market during the past week in consequence of the advance in prices. So much for the contiquauce of the N. P. May its good effects continue. The members of 'Trinity Church Women's Guild will meet at 2 p.m. and the Y. P. C. A. at 8 p. m. on Wednesday, to -day, at the Rectory. A full attendance is requested at both meetings.

We see by the town papers that Mr. John Kerr is advertising his grocery and confectionery business for sale. If he succeeds in dispos- ing of his business he will stove to Londou. The "New Era" correspondent will allow me to inform him that Mr. Robert Talbot has already studied Dentistry and has been practising in \Vingham and Lind- say for some tnonths. Last week there was a concert, or show, in town every night but Saturday. This week, J. W.

Murphy, of the 16th, is visiting friends iu London. The young folks had a party at Mr. John Smith's on Friday night last. Most of tho crowd came from Clinton. Mr. Donald Junor who has been confined to bed a considerable por- tion of the time lately will not likely improve much until he has undergone a contemplated surgical operation. A very regrettable occurrence, if the affair did really happen, is that of a young man, who usually r•esidfe in Clinton, committing a criminal asaautt upon a married woman of the 16th Con. I hope the, case is not so bad as reported, and as it will corse up in the high court next month .I rofain from giving names at present. In the neighborhood of Clinton and Ilolmesville, a new order of Forrostere was established just prior to the elections. It is differeht to the Canadian or Independent Order of Foresters. This society is called the Cameron Court of the I). A. Fort-eetors. Though not so blood- thirsty by a long chalk as the Italian Mafia, the members and their doings are equally secret. It is a benficial society all the same. The endowment money is paid in advance upon initiation. Herein consists the new departure from the regular orthodox mode of benefic• iary societies. As initiations take place only once in every four or five years it is thought that there will always be funds ou hand. The source from whence the funds come ie somewhat* of a mystery to the outside world. That those interest- ed get the shekels at the proper time I believe there is no disput- ing. Goderich Township.

Then comes the Wednesday even-. ing service, fol which another day is spent in preparation. By this you see four days are taken up out of the six. Now to almost every , parish there is a mission field attached, and to that mission the greater part of the two remaining days should bo given; as they have the privilege of having but one s; r - vice during each week And now, I would ask what time have the clergy for individual work in our respective towns and vi )ages? If anything it must be very little-. Hence the necessity of the most faithful of the laity Liking hold and helping those who have been appoint- ed to watch over them in the work of bringing souls to the feet of Jesus. I for one will deem it a great p"iv ilege to have a plan laid oat by which "we the laity who are willing," can work together with one accord in the: cause of our Redeemer. I see no better way of arousing any clergy who may be given to lethargy, than by letting them see that the members of thei • respective churches are interested in the same work. And to the faithful laity I would say, let us cast off all that tends to revul- sion, and put on the whole armour of light, and let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your [father which is in !leaven.
