The English name is lerived from the Anglo-Saxon Lencten, spring. The titles of the season in the languages of Latin derivation, are all 0a-tinder of the name quadragesima. In Teutonic and cognate tongues, the name merely indicates the /fast, which is also the meaning of the tern), He neeteia, in the Calendar of the Greek Church. It is not correct to affirm that the sea- son is observed by the Anglican and Roman churches only,las the Greek, the Armenian, the Uniates and other churches keep it more or less as a seas- on of fasting and restraint. We can trace up to very early times the exist- ence of a preparatory fast to Easter. Its origin antedates Latin or Roman Christianity. It is definitely mention- ed by Irenaens, who wrote in Greek, and was the disciple of Polycarp, who was contemporary with St. John, the Apostle. Irenaeus informs us that while the fast seems to have been uni- versally observed, in his time, there was very great latitude as to its dura- tion, which wasenerally less than forty days. Whitelield and the early teachers of Methodism seem to have been notable for their frequent fast - lugs. —Com. BIBLE SOCIETY.—The 37th annual meeting of the Clinton Branch Bible Society was held in the Baptist Church cm Friday, February 14th., the Presi- dent, Mayor Holmes, presiding. After opening exercises the Secretary -Treas- urer, Mr. J. C. Stevenson, read the re- ports :—First, the report of depository, W. D.

Holmes spoke or some time and gave an excellent address, re- ferring to the grand work done in this and other lands by the Bible Society. The Society is non-sectarian and non-denomnatlonal, hut cosmopolitan in its great work in translating the Bible into so many different laugua. ss and tongues. Rev. E. J. Harris also gave Some Of the ideas that go to make up the greatness of a people, public schools,. good laws, rte resources, its climates; these mould the character of a people, but the principles of the Bible are accepted and believed more than any other influence. After a collection of $2.76 the meeting closed. — COM. PRINTS. There are prints and prints, some are selected from the, pick of the best ; some are taken as they can be got.

John Dryden, the Ont- ario Minister of Agriculture, entitled "The Pioneer Farm and the Wabigoon Country, Rainy River District." The attention of the Departrnent having re- cently been called to this hitherto un- settled region, Mr. Dryden determined to establish there what he termed a "pioneer farm," to demonstrate in a practical manner the country's agricul- tural capabilities. The experiment so far has been very successful, and this pamphlet giving general information regarding the section, which is now for settlement, is the result. It is illustrated and contains a reap of the district. This information will he very opportune in view of the increasing de- mand at the present time for cheap land, especially on the part of young men of small capital, the sons of farm- ers, who desire to secure farms and hotnes of their own. Such should by all means investigate the Wahiaoon country and other unsettled portions of Ontario before turning their atten- tion elsewhere. Ontario still has vast resources at her command, a heritage intended for her own people, and presents advantages unsurpassed by any province or by any foreign stare. Those desirous of securing a copy of the pamphlet, should address a card to the Department of Agriculture, Toron- to. CORSETS . 9f, DEATH OF ARCIIrntiD MCALPINR 'IAYLfn t. We exceedingly regret to) learn of the sudden death of A. M. Taylor, a former resident of Clinton, rind author of a commendable work en titled "Poems. Songs and Odes." The daily press gives the following particu- lars:—"Mrs. A. M. Taylor, of Chicago), who is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Watterwortb at Ingersoll, received a shock Tuesday morning on hearing of the death of Mr. Taylor, which Gad event took place Sunday at Cripple Creek, Colorado. The circum- stances in connection with his death are extremely sad, and Mrs. Taylor is prostrated with grief. After she left home, some three weeks ago, her hus- band was enjoying the hest of health, and when they parted it was with the Anticipation that he, too, should spend a few days with her. Since her depar- ture 11tr. Taylor decided to go to the gold diggings at Cripple Creek. Here it was he was seized with pneumonia, from which death ensued, after a few days' illness, of which none were aware.. The late Mr. Taylor was well- known in Ingersoll. Some year's ago he was principal of the Public school and duringthis period he was marries{ to Miss Ettte Watterivorth, who alone survives him. He was also a barrister of Chicago, being of the firm of Taylor & Collins. He was also president of the McKinley club of that city. Mr. Taylor was born on a farm near Brus- sels Ont., and studied his profession with Edward Blake, of Toronto." The deceased taught school in Clinton six- teen years ago.

Some people have told us that we are never satisfied and are always making changes. Well, poi hape its true, but we don't:0 be:ieve in standing still, and if we see a new way or a neW'.„j it arrangement that's going to make this store more convenient for' customers, why we're going to try the new. We've never been exactly satisfied with the position of tri.stooktl;p_� Drees Goode have wanted more counter room; the Mill ineri,* department was too small, too dark and too public; staple good.', end Men's Furnishings were always getting mixed; tweeds fol Men's suits and prints for ladies' dresses often got piled togethe', on the same counter. Now rte going to be different, there'll 1:0"''''''no tables to crowd the centre of the store; the dress goods take the long counter on the north wall where the tweeds have beet , s for years, there they'll have more room and better light that(' they've ever had; the staple goods such as prints, cottons, shakei flannels, linens, &c., go above the steps where the millinery hap, been; the tweeds and men's furnishings go into the Rattenbnri. street wing, where they will be by themselves and not get mixet wilt other stocks. The millinery inakee the greatest change o l all, it goes up stairs at the front of the store where the carpet/ now are; there we are going to have one of the lightest, brighte and moat convenient showrooms to be found outside of the oitiew you'll say so too when its ready. The carpets will be moved the rear end of the upper flat where they have just as much r and light as they now have. We're making these chrngea because we think they're for illi better, because we think .you'll ' find they make this a more (Wit venient place to shop in than it has ever been. 0 :-: C�L.IN TON. c.Q )CEO , CASA PR()`'' r;
