Our thoughtful "ad- mirer" was considerably behind the age to have the beautiful and fashion- able ribbon displayed on the 17th of Ireland. It is just possible that the donor. intended it as an all -the -year- round color, for green is one of the higher; degrees in protestantism and worn by those well advanced in Oraugeism. Our only regret is that the post office revenue should he rob- bed by the enclosure of ribbon in news- papers. LOCAL UNION MEETING.—The fol:ow- ing is the programme of the Local Union meeting to he held in the Pres- byterian church on Friday evening, April 5th. 1st, address, subject, '"The Endeavorer out of the Society," by Hohnesville; 2nd, "Systematic Benefi- cence," by Turners ; 3rd, "Take the next step," by Londeshoro.

Their crease and ▪ battle ground will be near the foundry.

BAPTIST CHURCH SERVICES.—The ser'viees held in the Baptist Church ''last week were largely attended end much interest was manifested. Several persons through the preached word were made to realize their lost, condition by nature and were led to a saving knowledge of the truth. Last Sunday evening the Baptist Church was filled to its utmost capacity and several persons unable to find acc•oruo- dation were turned away. Evangelist Palmers sermon on the leper was most striking and powerful and he was listened to throughout with marked attention. His remarks on the Eastern leper were made from personal oJser- vatious and served to enforce and impress the subsequent application of the truth with lasting effect. He continues with the people of Clinton, D. V., during tete present week, ser- vice commencing each night at 7.45 o'clock. A PROMISE NOT YET FULFILLED. --- The Ontario Government have as yet ' failed to give the Town of Clinton the money we are entitled to share in from the Stavely estate. We understand the $10,000 or $12,000 offered for some public or charitable institution will likely be asked for to ger-toward the erection and maintenance of a public reading room, Ltathrooin, etc. The idea is a good one, in which the Govern- ment should concur. For this purpose, unlike the several previously mention- ed in these columns, it would be of bene- fit to the (,general public. Dinsley's corner on Albert street or Sheppard's property on Ontario street would 'froth he good locations. The people of Clinton would like to have the matter 'assume a definite business shape at an 'early date. The promise of the Gov- ernment should not he delayed or the money he left in the treasury of the province until another local election ✓ olls round. • DIFFICULT LOCOMOTION. — On the morning of All Fool's Day (last Mon- day) the walks and mother earth were clothed in ice. The rain and sleet and ice and frost of,•Sunday night placed all classes of people nn equal footing, one and all taking good chances for a tumble or two before going far. In many cases the scriptural injunction, "Loge thy neighbor as thyself," was .,keyed as people embraced each other to keepon their pins. "The tippler and teetotaler," remarked a strong tem- perance man, "certainly stand on the 'same ground this morning, although we do not often come so close together," and down ho wen.,. The rounding atone pavement, crossings were the most dangerous and Mr. S. Smith had several close calls between the town habil and Hodgens corner. Chief Wheatley sprinkled salt on these and probably prevented serious accident.
