The Huron Old Boys and their lady

and a sumptuous supper was followed
by a dance program until after mid-
night. Mr. Robert Miller, Warden of

At the recent meeting of the South

erection of extensive new buildings,
which tbey have in contemplation
during the coating Bummer, the grant
not to be paid until the buildings are
cotnpleted, and unless the said society
ezpends at least one thousand dollars
in their new and unproved buildings.
Twentyyears hence the boys of to-

doctors and drunkards, lawyers and
liars, editors and idiots, ministers and
murderer's, Liberaleand Conservatives,
and so down the line. It is impossible
to tell to a certainty in what class each
boy will be. But it is not itnpossible
for a boy to be subjected to such in-
fluences that will steer bins in the
right direction. Follow the boy of

of thent will be in parliament, while
others will he in jail. Every boy is
trsining for a certain class and it is

Lent begins this year on the 8th of

Easter will be on the 23rd of April.
The Iast possible date that Easter may

periods that Easter falls as late as
that. In 1880 Easter came on April
25, and it will not fall upon that date
until 1012. Easter has not fallen on
April L3 since 1818, and after this year
it will not fall on that date until 1910.

That a branch line of the C. P. H.
will be run through the Village at no

Ontario Railway Company, which is
for a line from a point on the C.• P. R.,
between Woodstock and London to
St. Marys, Exeter, and thence to a
point on the St. Clair River,' near
Sarnia, was passed.
Again Tying Up.
Owing to the recent storms the train
service during the past week has been
very irregular. Considerable snow
has fallen in this locality but reports
say the quantity of snow is much
greater north than here and unless
the elements are more sparingly in the
supply of the "beautiful" the chances
are that a repetition of the blockading
experienced last wintet will eventuate.
We have bad no freight on the L.,H.Ar
B. for several days and at the time of
writing our paper supply for this
week's issue has not arrived and we
have no knowledge of when it will ar-
rive. We trust our rnany subscribers
will bear with us, and overlook titeeun-
avoidable delay.

A meeting of the officers and ri-
direct-

cultural Society was held here last
week. The object of the ,meeting was
to discuss the advisability of increas-
ing and providing more adequate
building acro ntnodat1(pn on the
rounds of the Society and otherwise
improve the premises. It was decided
to expend a large sum of money (lur-
ing the coming summer to prosecute
the work of the intended repairs and
improvements, Many suggestions were
discussed and n building committee
was appointed to look after the prac-
tical part of the undertaking. It was
decided that an addition of either 25
or 40 feet be played on the palace; a
new wire fence erected from the ticket
office along the west side and around
to the grand stand; :t new set of gates;
new sheep and pig pens. and other im•
provernen1s. That this is a commend -
sable move goes without saying and
now that the committee have the
thing in hand it would be well for
then) to perform the duties that now
devolve upon them in a manner that
the work when completed will not only
be a credit to themselves but to the
worthy society in which all are so
much interested.

Rev. J. W. Hodgins
Resigns Charge.
The congregation of St.Thoritas church
was very much surprised and grieved
when at the close of the service on
Sunday morning, the Rev. J. W. Hod-
gins. who has teen rector for fifteen
years,announced that he had resigned
the perish, and has Its•en invited to
and accepted the pastorate of Holy
Trinity church at Chatham. On Mon-
day evening was held one of the largest
vestry meetings in the history of the
parish. when a resolution was passed
exppreesingconfidence in the rector and
offering hie) an increase of $200 in
stipend if he would consent to remain,
Mr. /heights; thanked the vestry for
their kindness, and said he had consid-
ered the matter carefully and prayer
folly and hoped they would allow hire
to carry out his decision. His only
object in leaving was to work in a new
field. He thought fifteen years in one
parish was long enough for the ordi-
nary clergyman. His resignation was
accepted with regret, and a committee
appointed to interview the Bishop as
to his successor. Mr. and Mrs. Hud-
gins will be very ranch missed here by
all classes of citizens irrespective of
their religious leanings. They expect
to enter on their new field about the
1st of April.
