COLLEGIATE NOTES. - Exams. are very fashionable at the present season. It is needless to say that we are in the fashion. We lead, not follow. A couple of weeks ago we had occasion to remark that next summer the pu- pils in the upper rooms would doubt- less surprise the stupid examiners by the wisdom of their answers. • That may be so,but at the present time they are amazing the wise examiner by the stupidity of their answers. A large number of the lads from the school accompanied by their lassies,at- tended the concert Thursday evening. They presented quite a respectable ap- pearance, and report having had a good time; one young man is said to have gone as fax as Burlington Bay after his partner. The sports have been doing some snowshoein of late; sometimes they go with their snow- shoes, and sometimes the snow -shoes go with them. FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH IST. - This is the date, and 8 p.m. is the hour when the Good Templars will delight with d fine program of speeches and. singing, those who shall visit the Odd - fellows' lodge room at that time. A choice program it being prepared, of which the following is a part: -Address by J. K. Murdoch, District Chief Tem- plar; musical chorus by Messrs Jervis. Holdsworth, W. Shannan, B. Shannon and I. Walker; reading, E. Coombs, B. A.; comic songs by .1. Shunk and R. Downs. Mr C. Hoare is also expected to be present and contribute to the program by a selection with the mu- sical glasses. The audience are pro- mised a treat. The object of the meet- ing is to bring the cause of temperance more prominently before the minds of the Clinton public. The Good retn- plars hope for the cordial patronage of everyone interested in temperance. There will he a silver collection at the *door. ; Lecture on Birk it;sb Volunrbia, Rev, W. W. Baer, who i Secretary of the .Biltish Oolnrnbi4 0Onference of the Methodist church, will give a lec- ture on British Columbia and its re- sorces, to be illustrated b__yy about 80 stereopticon views in the Rattenbury street Methodist church, on the even- ing of Tuesday, March 5th. Admis- ilion,,adulte,10c, children, IOc. The lec- ture is a running description of the whole province and its woudetful re- sorces. Mr Baer is an old Clintonian, he having been at one time an em- ployee of the Organ Factory, and by - the -way, he is the third employee of the Factory who has entered the ministry. The Guardian speaks of the lecture as follows: -"Mr W. Baer has travelled extensively in British Colum- bia, and has taken many scores of admirable photos of its remarkable scenery and great industrial operations. We had the pleasure of hearing his ex- cellent lecture in the Metropolitan church on Wednesday, the 6th of Feb., one of the most interesting and in- structive lectures we ever heard. If it were not for the limelight pictures thrown upon the screen, the lecturer's account of the' enormous seal and sal- mon fisheries, of the tremendous size of the timber and other things of the sort, Would seem almost incredible. Of special interest to a Methodist audience are the illustrations cf Indian and Chinese life, of our mission insti- tutions and churches, and illustrations of the noble work which our Church is doing in that great Province. We cordially commend Bro. Baer to our churches, mission circles and Leagues, who desire an exceedingly interesting and instructive lecture. "QEBEIL- 6 ,fr'•• rt SKATING RACES. -The thaw inter- fered with the success of the races on Wednesday night, and the attendance was rather slim.

MARK 1.1 ANew Corset • That is rapidly becoming a favorite. It ia made on much the same principles as the Magnetic and Watchspring Corsets. In- Ltead of the old time heavy and clumsy bone or cord filling, id is filled with nar- row, highly -tempered steels, that give readily to every motion of the body. So highly tempered are they that they can be bent double, and when released will immediately fly back to their original position. The covering is a fine, strong jean, combining strength and durability with lightness of weight. Light, strong, easy fitting, and comfortable, it is a corset that's sure to lead. The price is $1 a pair We've been busy the past week opening out new dress goods. Though they're not all here yet., there are many really handsome lines in this early shipment, and if you would like to have an idea of what's going to be worn for the coming spring, you are wel- come to look at these early arrivals. You'll not be pressed to purchase if you do not wish to. If you deal where they give eredit, did you ever think that you are helping to pay for the goods of the mail who does not pay up?

RANCE & SPALDI NG LAST WEER Mention was made of the unique value of a line of SUITS ' now in process of manufacture, to sell for $12. Since then a few samples of the suit have been made, and the exceptional value of the garments struck us so forcibly we thought that a review of the causes that led up to this effect would be of interest to the purchasing public and our customers generally. In the First Place, . • • The material used is an imported serge in various colors, known to the trade as "Unfinished Worsted," the wear- ing qualities of which is simplynue/palled. Secondly, The conditions under which the goods were purchased render it within the realms of possibility to place before the peo- ple of Huron, a quality of material, the like of which for the price asked has never in the history of the clothing business in the West been the privilege of any firm to offer heretofore, In the Third Place, . ` . • One of the conditions previously referred to is imply the fol- lowing fact: that in January we purchase 1 a quantity of goods at exactly $1.55 a yard less than it ' ost us for the same goods two and three years ago; this fact alone ac- counts for the otherwise incomprehensible fact, that whereas three years ago we asked for and sold, made to order, a Suiting for $25, to -day the same goods are sold by us ready-made, for the exceedingly low figure of $12. Now, in the Fourth Place and Lastly The foregoing -remarks are of a nature that some skeptical readers of advertisements mentally call wind ; to these we would say, in this instance as in all other advertise- ments signed by the name JACKSON BROS , that we never make a statement in printers' ink the veracity of which we do not ask all readers to judge for themselves by comparing what is written with what the articles in question really are.
