MOTAGOART is still very i11, being uuable to got repaired rest. KEv. MR. Scurr of Wiugham took part iu religious work in town last Sunday. THERE was a temperauce meeting end collection for the poor of the town in the town hall Sunday evening last, after church ser- vice. \Its. McMuitcuie's general health continues to improve but au affection in one of his lower limbs is the cause, sometimes, of intense pain. MRS. SHAW, formerly residing on Princess St., is in town. MR. HARRY STANBURY spent the Easter holidays with the old folk in Detroit. EASTER FLOWERS.—The churches in town were beautifully decorated with floral offerings last Sabbath. Mr. CEO. SHEet'ARD, of the Nile, wag in town on Thursday visiting his brother James, who, we aro sor- ry to say, is still confined to the house. LYING STATEMENTS.—It has beon freely circulated that the junior member of• 'TILE NEws-REConn firm is goiug to remove froin Clinton. There would be nothing; wrong in doing so if he wished. But he has neither intimated nor has he any in- tention of doing so. As notch as a few might be gratified were there any truth in the statements of ever - wagging tongues, the lie will cer- taiuly come back to the gossipy originators.

In the meantime he offers his pump factory and residence for sale or rent as per advertisement iu this taper. SuaawuAT PERSONAL.—The Mit- chell J?ecorder seems rather personal when it refers to its contemporary as "the rnale wornan,the washed out and drenched out flippity flighty spinster who rune the Advocate." 'I'uose raking horses to Manitoba and who have not enough to make up a car load would do well to see Mr. James McFarlane, Varna P. 0., who has a couple of horses he de- sires to send there. On1T.—'there died in Hullett on Sunday, Simon Henry, jr., aged 25 years. Dropsy of the heart was the cause of death. Deceased had been ailing for several years.

NUT DEAD.—BailifT Campbell, of Kincardine, who was shot by one Oustruin near Bervie while the fer- nier was seizing a horse, is not dead as reported, nor even seriously in- jured, tho•igh he did receive a bul- let under the shoulder blade.

DuMouLIN; the organizing Secretary of the Brotherhood of St, Andrew, who was to deliver an addreae in St. Paul's School House, on Friday evening, April 3rd, c n the' work and objects of the Brotherhood, has been obliged to postpone his visit. Goon FRIDAY was observed by church going people, but the remem- brance of the day fraught with supreme happiness to all humanity, was anything but a pleasant one outside, climatically speaking. Sat urday and Sunday, however, made amends by being two of the pleas- antest days of the year. Old Sol carne out with increased vigor and amiability after his rest. THE PROFESSION LOOMING tJF.— The newspaper publishers of this district have this week had an ac- cession to their number in the per- son of a real live heir apparent to a lordship. Hon. R. N. C. Hill, who claims to be the son and heir of au English lord with an income of $30- 000 yearly, is the new proprietor of the Paris Star -Transcript. If Mr. Hill turns out a good paper the un• fortunate incident of having been born a lord will he overlooked, as something for which he is not re- sponsible.—Woodstock Standar 1. ELECTION RETURNS.—Wo have been favored by Mr. J. '1'. Garrow, M. I'. P. for West Huron, with a complimentary copy of the complete returns of last June elections, for which he will accept our thanks. As given in this paper just after' the election, Mr. Garrow's majority over Roberts was only 112. This with half of Goderich township not in the Riding, being gerrymandered out by Mr. Mowat, which gave a Conservative majority of 87, and Blyth and Wingham included which gave a Conservative majority of 17. Thus, in June, 1890, in the local elections in which the animosity of the 400 Roman Catholics in the Riding was bitterly, though unfair- ly, aroused against the Conservative candidate, Mr. Garrow had but 35 Reform majority in the municipali- ties comprising West Huron for the Dominion. And yet in March, 1891, in which cotnmou gratitude would suggest Catholics supporting the Conservative candidate who stood up in Parliament for equal rights, Mr. I'urtor was beaten by 379. The inference to be drawn from this, and the fact that in Roman Catholic eectivns the majorities were doubled fat• Mr. Cameron in the recent elec- tions. is that Mr. Cameron largely, if not altogether, owes his election to the Roman Catholic vote that 'formerly opposed him. There can be no question of challenging the right of this class to vote for whom they like, but it does seem strange that.thery-•should:llavrregotrerbeek vn a gentleman who imperilled his political life in order to do them justice, though he well knew he was displeasing another influential class, WALL; -.P 44 •-- ---*-- PER.

PARTING WITH A PIONEER.—Mr. Henry Young, a pioneer of Goder- ich township, died in Clinton last Wednesday, aged 76 years. Ile retired from his farm some years ago. "In the good old days of yore" to which the memory of the present generation runneth not back Mr. Young was assessor and collector of the township. He was a remarkably abstemious man, never using liquor or tobacco. Until the last couple of mouths ho was in almost the continuous enjoyment of good health. The cause of his death was cancer in the stomach. He leaves a widow and several married sone and daughters. In religion he was a Methodist, in politics a consistent Conservative. The burial took place on Good Friday. A Goon House Goes To M.tNI- Tona.—About a year ago Mr. John Beacom arranged with a gentleman in Ohio for the service of the noted horse, Tontine. After a successful season, the Hueston Bros., of Vir- den. Manitoba, formerly of Bayfield and vicinity, who had known'of the excellent stock got by Tontine in Ontario cast envious eyes across the lines at the continued success of this standard Kentucky bred but Cana• dian developed sire, in the improve• prevenient of horse stuck. They concluded that Manitoba could af- ford to have such an animal just as well as Ohio. Negotiations were entered into and Tontine was pur chased by the Hneston Bros., one of whom received him at Listowel Last week and took him to the Prairie Province, Tontine has the size, bone, breeding, action and pre-po• te.ney to produce from average dams animals for the ring, the road or the farm. He has taken over fifty prizes at provincial, county and township fairs, and a considerable number of his progeny have proved fast gaited. Leading reputable horsemen here such as W. W. Faar- Fiatal t h- k'er, aisel fititi�jt; Tillie: Tipling ; and Wm. Thompson, Lon- don, have certified to the undoubted merits of Tontine as a sire. His registered number in Wallace's American trotting Register is 1827. 0 Wrij. Cooper & Go.

Truth has been engaged in offering prizes in such competitions for some years past, and as we have personal knowledge of the straightforward conduct of the proprietor in this case we cannot do less than give the credit due under the circum- stance. It must be remembered that this is no lottery drawing. Though all do not gat prizes who compete, they get the worth of their money. 'Those sending one dollar get Trutt, which is excellent value for the money, for foiir months and are entitled to compete for any of the, awards without further coat. 'Those further inter- ested can address S. •Frauk Wilson, "Truth" Office, 'Toronto. EXTRAORDINARY SCENE IN COURT. —The customary dignity of the Di- vision court was rudely disturbed this morning, says the London Arl- ve•ti'erof Friday. On opposite sides of the barristoru' table in the centro of the court room sat Mr. Emanuel Essery, barrister, and Mr, James Kilgour, furniture dealer, both of whom were concerned in a suit then in progress. While a witness was being exenlined, Mr. Kilgour sud- denly sprang up, mounted the table and jumped from it upon Mr. Es- sery, who was quietly taking notes of the ovtdence, hurling hits from his chair to the floor. A terrible struggle ensued, and before the amazed onlookers could interfere, Mr. Essery got his assailant "into chancery," and was proceeding to reduce him to a pulp, when, by the heroic efforts of Bailiff 13urns and three or four legal gentlemen the combatants were aeparated, Mr. Kilgouitbeing nearly throttled and Mr. Essery's face streaming with blood. Judge Elliott severely re- -primarrdrrd-m]te eNilgotrretrn-rls-fln-ed him $8. Mr. Kilgour apologized to the judge, stating that Mr. Essery had galled him a perjurer, which, however, Mr, Essery flatly denied. The fine was paid. Additional locals on first p age. Miss AMY CANTELON has gone to Detroit, THE extraordinary vitality of the older people would lead one to thing that these be degenerate days 80 far as the physical vigor of the preseut generation goes. Mrs. Rat• teubury, sr., who is on the verge of four score years is as lively as most persous not half her age. On Good Friday morning she made hot cross buns for breakfast in quantities suf- ficient to satisfy a shall army. And Mrs Fair, sr.,who is nearly four score and ten years, is, still quite active.

FOSTER AND LAWYER SCOTT gave addresses in Ontario St. Methodist church last Sabbath even- ing. Mr. Foster elaborated "Christ is risen" in a pleasing, unaffected and convincing manner that aright he likened to apostolic simplicity. blr. Scott drew lessons from "Laz- arus ii raised, Christ is risen." Contrasted the visible human means employed in the former instance with the invisible, divine and al- most incomprehensible means in the latter. Yet, the recorded results in both cases were incontestably prov- en. Special musical selections were admirably rendered by the choir. THE March number of Our Homs maintains the high standard of ex- cellence which has characterized this publication since its inception, and easily keeps it in front rank of Canadian magazines, It contains an abundant supply of fiction, pure and healthy in tone, while the de paitments of Interior Decorations, Home Furnishing, Fashions, eot„ contain much that will prove ex- ceedingly interesting to the lady readers.
