Pebaw, that's nothing, compared with the way some pollticans completely swallow themselves, while they are turning very sharp corner, * *,* —There were 161 statutes passed at the recent session of the Ontario Legislature. These have been revised and corrected by Allan Dymond, K.C., Law Clerk of the Legislatnre. The statutes for 1012 will be ready in book form within thirty days after proroga- tion. This is Mr. Dymond's twenty-, third year of reading the Ontario statute. 'We have been trying to obey some of them longer than that. • * * —There is truth in the following from the Toronto Telegram :—The slow train that lands its passengers at the station behind thne is a bigger success than the fast train that hurls its passengers into the ditch ahead of time. The moral of the Titanic dis- aster is that no matter how big man may imagine himself to be, Nature is always bigger. The strength of the Titanic was crushed like an egg -shell in contact with one of nature's minor forces, and the size of the Titanic was ),e -s as a pebble lost in the immensity of its burial place—the Atlantic ocean. * * * —"Faithful to duty in the face of death" may be written of the engi- neers of the Titanic, Every man of the twenty perished in their endeavor to keep the ship afloat as long as possible. Wm. Bell, the chief engineer had been with the White Star line for thirty-six yeare. On the ship were also Archie Frost, chief engineer for Harland & Wolff, who built the ship, and Thomas Andrews, who designed the engines. When the accident hap- pened, the two latter left their state- rooms and went down into the engine room to share the fate of the men on duty. * * * —The more that is revealed con- cerning the fate of the Titanic and the loss of 1600 or more lives, the more clearly does it appear thac the awful calamity was partly due to reck- lessness. The Titanic was on her maiden voyage ; she must make a record ; it would be a great advertise- ment for the steamer and. for the steamship line. Ice or no ice, she was so big, that the officers in charge do not appear to have even reduced the speed when they knew they were in dangerous proximity to icebergs. it is time this mad craze for speed ceased. A few minutes clipped from an hour, or a few hours taken off an ocean voyage are not worth the awful risk that they cost. No one can cal- culate the enormous cost of the reck- less desire for speed, that brought about this awful catastrophe. The hundreds of millions of value lying at the bottom of the Atlantic are a mere trifle to the hundreds of lives sacri- ficed to an insane desire to make a record passage with a new, floating palace. *** The Wingham Advance. They Want li. And won't be eatiefied till they get it, The me' chants of tow desire tbe Advance to remind that important and good-looking section of the Town Council known as the Street commit- tee, that the dust has been very annoying lately.

A Turnberry Wedding. A quiet wedding was solemnized on Wednesday, 21th, when Miss Ele- nor Breckenridge, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Jos. Breckenridge of the boundary of Turnberry was united in marriage to Mr. Prank Nichol, a prosperous young farmer of Morris, Rev, J, E. Cooke of Bluevale perform- ed the ceremony. The bride was daintily attired in a dress of cream silk trimmed with silk fringe and pearls ; she wore a large white hat trimmed with -flowers and an ostrich feather mount. The groom's gift to the bride was a beautiful locket and chain. Owing to the severe illness of the bride's bister, Miss Eva, this cere- mony took place at the Methodist parsonage, Bluevale. All This In Chesley. Mr. Neelin, foreman for many years in the office of the Chesley Enterprise, has been appointed Postmaster of that thriving town. But that is not all ; t les editor of Chesley' s only paper, Mr. McDonald is a member of the Legis- lature ; lastlY, the new postmaster has the pleasure of seeing the founda- tion laid for the new postofflce which is to be his palatial residence. Looks as if a big streak of good fortune had dropped in the vicinity of the Enter- prise office, and Byers McDonald and Neelin were right on deck when it arrived, Bro. McDonald is a faithful Grit, and (we presume) Bro. Neelin is a staunch Tory, so they can now congratulate each other, and rejoice in the good fortnne that their political creeds have brought them. Rev. Jas. Livingstone Gone. The death of Rev. Jas. Livingstone of Mitchell, on Thursday, April 25th, brings to the thought of the editor of this paper, the scenes and, incidents of bygone years. The deceased and the writer were personal friends as young men. We lived near each other in Arran township ; we remember his preparation for the ministry ; have not forgotten one of hie first sermons, and. the text bas never been obliterat- ed from memory. He was full of life anti vigor, bright, clever and ambi- tious. He was loved and lovable. Close beside the editor's family, lived for a time, Mrs. Livingstone (prior to her marriage.) To her, in her sorrow and bereavement, we tender sincerest sympathy. The editor has lost a friend. Four daughters and five sons mourn the death of a loving father. water. In the —Probably the gray-haired or bald- headed old fossils in the Senate thought they were doing a clever trick when they killed some of the very practical legislation of the Bor- den Government. It may yet dawn on the sleepy old chaps that they wade a mistake, Several Liberal papers condemn the partisan action of the Liberal majority in that thne- honored but useless appendage of our governmental system. The Ottawa 1i'ree Press, -Liberal organ at the capi- ta'. says, that the Senate injured the Liberal party instead of helping it. Their stupidity however may result in good later on, for it may open the eyes of the people to the uselessness of the Sentste, Some day, a real re- former will appear on the scene, and introduce a remedy that may appear drastic, but will prove popular, viz the 'removal of a useless and very expensive portion of our political ma- chinery. Many electors would be pleased to see the thing disappear, even though it may mean the removal of a refuge for out-of•date, defeated, or back numbers in the political arena. That is really what the Senate is, as at the present constituted. hi South Huron.

Baseball 1912. A meeting of the Town League Exe- cutive was held on Tuesday of this week, and rules and regulations drawn up. It was decided to hold a meeting on Friday evening ist the Brunswick Hotel, and all collections must be made and handed to the Secretary, Mr. G. R. Smith. The schedule will be drawn, and the opening game will be held as soon as possible. Teams from the High School, foundry, clerics?, bankers and factories are already entered. Death Of Mrs. Rintoul. Mrs. John Rintoul, another of the early settlers of this part of Huron county passed to her reward. on Satur- day last, at the ripe age of over four- score years. Deceased was born in Lanark county Ont., in 1831. Her maiden name was Hannah Stevenson. and with her late husband she settled in West Wawanosh when the country was practically a wilderness. Bravely, she bore her share of the toils and pri- vations incident to the pioneer life, and she has left to her sons and daugh- ters many happy memories of a kind and faithful mother, She was esteem- ed for her many estimable qualities and was a member of the Presbyterian Church. She leaves three sons—Ohns. of Morris, Alex. of West Wawanosh and Wm. J. of Wingham.; also two daughters—Mrs. Jno. Coulter of town and Mrs. Wrn. Webster of B. C. Ber husband passed away seventeen years ago. Mrs. Rintoul's funeral took place on Tuesday to Bethel cemetery, Rev. Mr. Walker conducting the service. In Railway Wreck. Mr, Geo. Wynn of this town had an experience recently that he hopes never to repeat. He left here with a load of tattle on Saturday, April 20J1. The train was delayed and when at Georgetown, a light engine crashed into the caboose of the stock train and telescoped the rear car. In the caboose at the time were eight men, and among them was our townsman. Six of them escaped by jumping out and only received slight injuries, but one of the drovers, Thos. Oarrah of Tavistock, and E. Corey, brakeman, were killed. The wreck immediately took fire, The brakeman was pinned in the wreckage and died almost in- stantly. Ourrah was also fast in the broken cat and called loudly for help, but before water could be secured and the injured man liberated, he was burned to death, Three of the cattle were roasted. alive and the caboose and one ear destroyed. Mr. Wynn escaped with a badly burned hand, some btuises, and a nervous sttaits that he hopes never to pass through again. To witness one mats burning alive, and. see the mangled form of the brakeman, are sights our townsman hopes never to see again. Though badly shaken up and tiore, Mr. Wynn le thankfai to haVe escaped the fate that befell Other% Matrimonial Event. Perhaps no event is more notable in in the lives of two young people than their wedding day. This week, we report the marriage of Mr. Clayton Phippen to Miss Tillie Stewart. We have not been able to get all the neces- sary information, but we understand that the event took place in Goderich on Thursday last, at the residence of the bride's sister. The happy couple arrived home on Saturday and will reside in Lower Wingharn. May their joys be many and their sorrows light and few. Investigation Proceeding. As we write this item an investiga- tion is being held in Goderich. M. J. Farr, an hotel -keeper of that town charges Mr. Patterson, chairman of Centre Huron License Board with having solicited a bribe of $500 for his influence in having his license renew- ed, As we close our forms, the ex- amination is still in progress. The accuser is firm in his charges, while the accused with equal firmness, claims that the offer of money came from Farr and was refused. The charge is being thoroughly sifted, and we hope, that the truth will come out, and the guilty suffer, whosoever, or whatever he may be. No License Board can afford to have such a stigma, rest upon any of its members. Nor will the Provincial Secretary tol- erate any. such wrong -doing, as im- plied in the charge.

That fine musical organization, known as the Territorial Staff Band of the Salvation Army Headquarters, Toronto, spent Saturday afternoon and Sunday with the Wingham corps. This Band consists of twenty-eight musicians, and their musical render., logs were certainly m treat. They attracted attention from the time they marched from the C. P. R. station until the close of the Sunday evening's service, On Saturday evening, a Festival programme was given in the Opera hall, Mayor .Spotton presiding. At It am, on Sunday a service of interest and profit was held in the barracks. Then at 3 p.rn, a service of praise in music and song was given to a large audience in the Opera hall, The music of the Bata was excellent, and the vocal renderings by the male choir of the Band were much enjoyed, Dr. R. C. Redmond presided in his customary pleasant and eflleient man - The Octoroon. Clothes,will wear out, and so the suits worn by the Wingham Citizens' Band for the past seven years had grown old, dingy and thread -bare. The Band's funds were low; the Town Council could not see its way clear to clothe them all in new outfits, in ad- dition to the quarterly grant towards paying the leader's salary ; hence the outlook was discouraging, Wingham Dramatic Club came to the rescue in the emergency and on Friday evening scored another success for the home talent. The "Octoroon" depicting life in the old South bad been prepared and was successfully presented to a full Opera hall. Of the twenty char- acters represented, some were neces- sarily more difficult to carry out than others, but rather than select any narnes to the detriment of others, it is sufficient to say that all acted their parts well, and pleased the audience itnnaensely. A pleasing addition to the programme was the excellent music rendered by the Band betweeo the Acta. it means{ a vast amount of Work to prepare each an entertain- ment, and. the Band sincerely ap- preciates the efforts of the young ner.
