MIselNc.—On Saturday last Rev.
L. W. Diehl received a telegram from

brother "George Diehl was missing,and
it was thought he was drowned."
This week he received word from his
brother s wife, stating that George had
not been well of late, suffering from
over taxation of work and great re-
sponsibility, as foreman in the Mill-
wright department in the Imperial
Flour Mill, in Duluth. His body, if

HE WILL'Gi.r IT, Too.—Editor Gal-
lagher, of the Nanaimo, B. C., Tele-

alleged money due the former for mak-
ing a politician ofthe defendant, who,
not being able to blow his own horne,
it is said, took- this means of getting
some one else to do it. When Mr Gal-
lagher demanded money Mr Horne re-
fused, and his political tutor takes this
means of getting even with his pupil.
The affair has caused a good deal of
scandal in the province, and is the only
topic of conversation in political circles.
IT I8 IN THE COUNTY. -The Wing -
ham Advance says:—"Some of the
Huron county papers have been cll.,
culating a story about the assistant
postmaster at Khiva, "this" county,
being mulcted"in afine of $20 for using
stamps previously used, and stating
that said post office has been closed.
By looking up the post office guide it
will be found that: the Khiva P. 0. is
in the north riding of Middlesex."
[The Advance is not, well up• in. the
geography of its own county. Shiva
is about the centre of Stephen town-
ship, this county, but by virtue of the
iniquitous gerrymander is placed in
the north riding of Middlesex for elec-
toral purposes only.

Brown, bass, of Exeter. Speaking of
Mr Knight's appearance at Stratford,
the Herald, of that city says:—
Mr Henry J. Knight, a young baritone from
Bowmanvino, Ont., in his severalsolos revealed
a voice of strength and compass that is seldom
surpassed on the concert platform or the opera-
tic stage. Adis selections Tho Brave Old
Guard" and The Fair of the Olden Tyme" were
good, and of these snug in response tnrecall the
same can be said. Mr Knight's fame as a bari-
tone-- onght to be spread rapidly. , ••
POOR HOUSE COMMITTEE.=012 Tues-
day the House of Refuge committee
representing the County Council, and
consisting of W. Proudfoot, Goderich;
H. Eilber, Stephen; W. Bawden, Exe-
ter; W. Milne, Grey; and A. McMur-
chie, Clinton, met in the' office of the
last named gentleman, to discuss what
action they should recommend to the
Council concerning a House of Refuge.
It was thought that from 25 to 50 acres
would be required somewhere in the
neighborhood of either Exeter, Sea -
forth, Wingham, Goderich, or Clinton,
and the committee will advertise in
each of these places for tenders for
sites. Clinton was admitted to be the
most central and suitable place, for
the purpose, but it was' thought an
opportunity should be afforded the
other places of tendering. The com-
mittee purposes visiting a new .House
of Refugue recently erected in Wood-
stock, and may also visit one at Sim-
coe and also near Guelph. An effort
will be made, through the Huron re-
presentatives in the Local, to induce
the government to allow the Staveley
estate to go towards the erection of
the House. The Committee were em-
powered bythe County Connell to pro-
cure all the information necessary, and
report at the June meeting of Council
and, on this report it is probabld that

WI.TAYLOR & SON
Spring -Fashions.:
A Brief Descriptive Sketch.
4
The Styles in Millinery this Spring have. brought into prominence
such a wide range of shapes and patterns that it seems incredible that any
lady's head should be unbecomingly dressed.
The Bonnets are all very small but are greatly diversified in shapes
and maintain their popularity with the ladies probably because they give
tbe hair the best chance of display and do not derange the downy frizzes
that so gracefully encircle the forehead. Perhaps also the very high esteem
in which they are held in English Court circles has created a wage of favor
for them that has rolled across tbe ocean and intensified their popularity
here. At any rate th avorite adornment of the crowned heads of England
is also chosen by a host Canada's daughters to adorn their crowns.
As to hat shapes there ' literally no end to their variety. Flat brims, _
waved -up brims, slashed and contorted brims, Rembrandts, Amazons,
Tricorners, Sailors and Turbans of every description all are rivals for public .
favor.
WALKING HATS have taken a bri3k start and appear In larger sized
patterns than formerly.
Black satin wire frames, covered with plaitings of silk illusion, nets,
guipure and other laces, with jet bands and prquets, have taken a wide space
in Milliners' preparations for Toques and Bonnets. Another new feature
in wire frames is the various colored satin crowns. Legborns flats with
open work straw,bent into shapes and trimmed with lace, flowers or plumes
and ribbons, appeal to the admiring eyes of Misses and children.
In straw braids there is great variety in chips, satins and fancies such as
Corn -husk', Swiss and Tuscan. One of the latest novelties in straw is the
plateau "Czarine" designed in Paris. It differs from the ordinary plateau
in being made in circular grooves and in being very pliable and is pinched ,
up and bent into innumerable shapes without destroying the original design, .
In SILK GOODS Moire and Satin are the lenders, and ribbons show a
gpeater variety • of patterns: P103 •ribbons au e: mostly,, double, faced, while
fancy patterns are simple in design -and chiefly composed of dots, stripes.
and small flowerets in a lighter shade. The Alsatian bow is perched on
nearly every hat, and the wire -edge ribbon is the new wrinkle, for frilling,
rosettes and standing loops, while streamers hang on behind.
Lace might be designated as claimant for the very front rank in trim.
mings and black white and colors are each scrambling•for first place. Ivory -
point, Venetian, Chantilly, Bruges and Bayeux as well as guipures are all
in it
FLOWERS are found in profusion on all the hats and every garden
favorite has discovered a corner for itself.
Ostrich tips have refused to be crowded, from their throne and are
found standing around on the hat brims wherever they can find a footing,
without showing the slighest preference for position.
The prevailing colors are white, cream, pink, wood, mordor4 bluish
grays, fresh greens, ophilia, a little of the poppy red and the whole series
of light yellow, wheat, maize and straw. �I
• We have attempted only a meagre desemiption of the patterns and styles
in millinery that are candidates for your favor. You will have an oppor-
tunity -of seeing them in their beauty and they will be glad to speak for
themselves at our opening on Saturday, Iylarch t'4tb.
You will find the range of prices as satisfactory as the 'range of pato''
