The race for bieycles among men has grown into a tricycles Craze with the Tediee. It was not so long ago that BeIva Lockwood on her tricycle was an object of curiosity, but now youcannot walk anywhere in town without meeting ladies on their wheels. Early in the evening is the fayorite time, for then they are accompanied by gentlemen. Tricycles used in Washington for couples tither have the seats side by side or one behini the other. The former are cer, eainly preferable as far as looks are con- cerned. -Sometimes at dusk you meet a party with a dozen tricycles, moving alone noiselessly on the asphalt pave - mea, or coasting at breakneck speed down the hilly streets. And this spring I notice many tricycles for a single rider, and ladies using them in the daytime to shop in and go to market. They -axe the corning vehicle in Washington, while as to bicycles almost every clerk and boy in the schools, who can get money enough to buy one, exults in the possession of a wheel, and for nine months in the year is independent of the raagnificeat distances for which the city is famous. MATRIMONIAL. No further concealment is made that Mr. Cleveland is to be married, just as the newspapers said at first. No great harm has resulted from the publication, as the facts have corne chiefly from Miss Folsom's relatives. Governor Long, of Massachusetts, the best mannered and the best-moraled man ID the House on all publics questions, is to marry, in the early'paxt of June, a most e,stirnable young lady now teaching school in his town, the daughter of a clergyman, and the only support of her- self and her orphan sister. - Dashwood.

SIOK.-Mr. Wilson McCann, one of the pioneer settlers of this district, has been quite 111 of -late. We 0 are glad, however, to learn that he is improving. He is suffering from some trouble in his head, which has of latesettled in his eyes so that he has lost his sight en- tirely. The family has the sympathy of the entire neighborhood. IMPROVEMENTS. -The following is a list of improvements in our village dur- ing this season: Our enterprising cabi- net maker and furniture dealer, Mr. Ball, has removed his furniture store to the corner of the street, west of his old stand. He is.also building° an elegant new residence °on the eastside ofhis store. -Mrs. Kellerman has put a foundation under her residence and also built a new sta.ble.-Messrs. Soldan and Wilbert have each put stone founda- tions underneath their dwellings. - Messrs. Weseloh and Wurtz have put an upper storey to their shoe store, which is occupied by our tailor, Mr. A. Reynolds. --Mr. Geo. Kellerman is also building a new brick residence. 4NIMMMICIMMIM Lucknow. BRIEF MENTION. -There was a heavy frost last Sunday night, which was severe enough to freeze the water in vessels outside. -The Rev. G. Turk, pastor of the Methodist church, deliver- ed a lecture entitled, "The Leaders of the Nineteenth Century in the Metho- dist Church," on Thursday evening last week to an appeeciative audience. The lecture was both interesting and instruc- tive, and was well delivered. -The far- mers are through seeding in this vicini- ty, and are busily engaged putting in their root crops. The spring crops look well. There is a beautiful display of blossoms on the fruit trees. -The literary society in connection with the public school gave an excellent programme, consisting of readings, -recitations and music on Friday afternoon last. We would like to see more of the residents of the village patronize these entertain- ments. -The Rev. ,Mr. Cameron, pastor of Knox church preached his farewell sermon to a large congregation last Sab- bath evening. Many of the congregation were deeply affected at the minister's farewell words. The congregation pre- sented him with some beautiful presents, showing • their appreciation of his ser- vices. immereassammeems That Threatened Law -Suit. To the Editor of Tits HuRoN Exrosrrort: DEAR SIR, -1 notice from one of your local items that you are threatened with an action at the suit of Messrs. Wray and Clegg unless you apologise for the utterances of your Brussels correspon- dent, who has stated in a previous issue of your. paper that those gentle- men are the persons who made the deo- larations for the Tory party for the pur- pose of placing certain names on the list under the provisions of that latest of Tory swindles known as the "Fran- chise Act." Now, what can there be to apologise for? The letter threatening suit against you does not/pretend to say that these gentlemen did not subscribe to the declarations in question, and being stout supporters of the Franchise Act they certainly should not be ashamed of having taken action under its provisions. What appears to mc to afford far more serious food for reflection is the fact that the action ie threatened by Messrs. Meyer & Diekenson, one of the mem- bers of whieh firth holds the distinguish- ed position of clerk to the Revising Barrister for this Riding. If officers of a court are to be allowed in their ca- pacity of solicitors to bring actions for matters arising in connection with their own court, it is contrary to every idea of right and wrong which has hereto- fore obtained in Canada, and it certainly does seem to me that a proper profes- sional feeling should have induced the learned gentleman to refrain from rashly eushing into a suit which his official position shou undertaking, which would are and mus possession to overlooked as convenient client. You d have witheld him from d in which the papers rm the basis of the action necessarily remain in his be produced, mislaid or might appear to be most the offielal gentleman's. Truly, FARMER.

Medicinal roperties of Honey. With refere ce to the medicinal pro- perties of hon y, G. P. Hachenberg, M. D., in the Arn rican Bee journal, says it has two physi al elements which make it particularly a edicine, viz: . An aromati irritant imparted to it by the stomach f the bee; and its ready transformatio into fat, without those complicated physiological operations necessary to transfer other saccharine elements into his material. These make it at once both a local and constitutional emedy. Locally, it is an irritant, seda we, emollient, detergent, antiseptic, res lvent, rubefacient ,and a psrasiticide. onstitutionally it is nu- trient, demul ent, laxative, deebstru- ent, alterative tonic, expectorant, res- torative, febr fpge, diaphoretic, vermi- fuge and anta lirodisiac, as well as con- taining certa.4 poisonous properties manifested un r peculiar circumstances. When we y that honey is both an irritant and a sedative we mean that its first effects nu yi irritate, followed with a sedative Ore ti, All liniments work beneficially or this principle, the same with the most of eye -waters, etc. The solution of ho y as an eyewater proves particularly hz eficial on account of its antiseptic, ale o bent or resolvent pro- perties. It cu es inflammation of the eye, in the svi. y a solution of boracic acid does, that is mainly by reason of its antiseptic an t sledative properties. The irritan iroperties of honey are,' ID a grea- tsure, destroyed by dilu- tion. Theref as a topical irritant, where we w to favor resolution, by counteraction it is used in a pure -state or in conjunc n with more active irri- tants. It is i1s irritant or rubefacient • effect, joined with its emoluent nature that precipitates local inflammation intl; suppuration, and is, therefore, a suitable remedy for abscesses, boils, whitlows, carbuncles; etc. An Indian Jugglers' Trick. Mr. E. Stanley Robertson, lately of the Bengal civil service, gives an amus- ing account of some of the tricks of an Indian juggler. He says: He was Beat- on a white cloth; which I think, was a tablecloth borrowed from the mess ser- geant. He asked some one present to produce,a rupee, and to lay it down at a remote edge of the cloth. The cloth being three or four yards in length, the conjurer could nothesve touolied the coin without being seen, and, in fact, did not touch it. He then asked for a signet ring. Several were offered him, and he chose out one which had a very large oval seal, projecting well beyond the gold hoop on both sides. This ring he tossed andturnbled several times in his hands, now throwing it into the air and catching it, then shaking it between his clasped • hands all the time mumbling half -inarticulate words in some Hindus- tanee patois. Then setting the ring down on the cloth at about half arm's length hi front of him, he said, slowly and distinctly, in good Hindustanee "Ring, rise up, and go to he rupee." The, ring rose, with the seal uppermost, and, resting on -the hoop, slowly, with a elind of dancing or jerking motion, it 'spassed over the cloth, until it came to• where the rupee lay on the remote edge, then it lay down on the coin. The con- .; jeiror then said: " Ring, lay hold of the rupee, and bring it to me." • The pro- jecting edge of the seal seeped to grap- ple with the edge -of the coni; the ring and the rupee rose into a kind of wrest- ling attitude, and, with the same danc- ing or jerking motion, the two return- ed to within reach of the juggler's; hand. I have no theory tO explain either of these tricks. I should mention, how- ever, that the juggler entirely disclaim- ed all supernatural power, and alleged that he performed his tricks by mere sleight of hand, It will be observed that he had no preparation of his sur- roundings, no machinery, and no con- federate. -Furniture needs cleaning as mueh as other woodwork. It may be washed with warm soapsuds, quickly wiped dry, and then rubbed with an oily cloth. To polish it rub with rottenstone and sweet oil. Clean off the oil and polish with chamois -skin. -A good moth powder is made of lupuline (ground hops,) one dram; Scotch snuff, two ounces; camphor -gum, one ounce; black pepper, one ounce; cedar sawdust, four ounces. Mix thoroughly and strew among the furs or wollens to be protected. Births.. KEATING.-In Seaforth, on -the 14th inst., the wife of Mr. Patrick Keating jr., of a son.
