THE SORROW GATE, --A young
lady asked the County Attorney
what kind of a gate the surto-gate
was. "Don't it have some applica-
to a court",and wills;" she naively
continued. "Yes," replied that
courteous and humorous gentleman,
"it has, it has something to do with
the courtship of a young lady and
and her will; it is a gate through
which patties puss on their way to
get married." "Then, I suppose,"
replied she,10that it is a corruption
of sorrow gate." "You may be right
miss," replied her informant, "as
woman is an abbreviation of woe to
roan. But please step into the office
on the other side of the hall." "0,

MIGRATION. -One day last week
we had the pleasure of a call frorn
-Mr. George -Hawkins of ----Port
Albert. He was on his way to
Exeter and vicinity to say "good
by" to the • Cases and other rela-
tions in that section, previous to
his removal to Manitoba. Mr.
Hawkins with his father and
brothers were the pioneers of Port
Albert and built and ran the
original flour and saw mills at tha/
place. Somewhere about '50 lie
wont to Australia, married and fe-
'twined there fur several years then
returned to Port Albert. Though
not so dashing as we remember hit11
nearly forty years ago when he
sported Wellington boots, velve-
teen coat, red sash and tassel'd cap,
and a penchant for driving fast
horses, he is a vigorous man yet.
And we wish hits continued enjoy-
ment of health'.' and galore of the
wealth that is buried in the fertile
prairies of the Northwest, and that
his attachment to the old flag wjll
'bring with it the blessings duo to
patriotism and perseverance. We
also extend our good wishes to Mrs.
Hawkins and family. They will
leave for their new home this week.
CONCERT, -The anniversary of
the birth of St. Patrick falls on
Sunday this year. Notwithstand-
ing the calendar those who honor
his memory have decided to com-
memorate the day in Clinton on
Tuesday the 19th. As St. Patrick is
claimed to be a Scotchnran, a
Frenchman and an Irishman it
cannot be said that it is an Irish
bull to have the 17th of March
come on the 19th this year, And
as ho was a goud protestant, though
he may nut have known it, as well
as a costilupolitan, Irish or any,
other Catholics should not i be
allowed to Monopolise the honor
of keeping his memory green.
Aside from all this the Concert in
the town hall, Clinton, op Tuesday
evening 19th inst. promises to be a
delightful affair. Judge Doyle and
Mr. A. II, \[inning have promised
to preside. A quartette of singers
from Stratford, comprising Mies
Kato Carlin, Miss Kate Gallagher,
Mr. P. J. Trainor, and Ald. Doug•
lass will take part. Blyth will con-
tribute the well•known artists
Messrs F. Tanner and W. Shane.
Miss Tossie Kidd of Dublin and
Mr. 11., 1I. Collis of Exeter, Mrs.
Judge Doyle, Mise, Ada Chilton
and Mr. R. G. Reynolds of Godor-
ich will also have numbers allotted
them. Miss Cooke will be the
accompanyist, and Prof. Aariukson,
the great violinist, will also take
part. Tickets may be had at

THE NEWS -RECORD was pleased
1,,u have a call from Rev. Mr. Hartt,
ot''Varua, yesterday. The rev. gen-
tlomau speaks in very high terms of
the open meetings being held in
the Counties of Huron and Middle-
sex, and of the good that will result
therefrom.
THE regular session of L. O. L.
710 on Monday evening was un-
usually interesting. New applica-
tions for membership were received
and the Order continues to flourish
in the town of Clinton. Baud
President Carliug made a very
encouraging report, and the hand
will likely appear before the public
in a month or so.

BOARD or TRADE. -The Reeve
pointedly asked the writer the other
evening if a Board of Trade for the
town of Clinton could do any good,
Woll, it all depends on how the
members would work. There are
such Board@ in many places with
not one half the trade interests of
.Clinton. It might not be amiss to
have one. The members could
meet and discuss matters pertaining
to the industrial and commercial
interests of the town. Were such a
Board in existence it would bo
proper for it to consider, and being
composed of business men its de-
liverance would carry weight, if the
interests of the town would bo ad-
vanced by aiding factories to. com-
mence or extend operations here.
Part of its business would bo to col-
lect statistics as to the trade of the
town to show manufacturers and
railway men what inducements we
offer for their building factories or
extending railroads here. A' Board
of Trude should be of groat assist•
ance to the town council. It would
be a special authority on practical
business matters. A collective body
of men constituted as we imaging it
would he would suggest subjects for
municipal legislation, and mould
into form crude ideas that may bo
floating in the minds of citizens
but which never take form and sub
stance. What is oyerybody's busi-
ness ie nobody's business is a tatrely
true saying. Tho business intor713ts
of the town' would be especially
taken hold of by sucha I3oard.
Reeve Mcsiu'chie•'s query is worthy
of consideration and as he is au
enterprising, clear headed citizen
he Might do worse than follow it
up. Nothing -in this world worth
;Having has over been obtained with-
out work and the work has to have a

- -Give the laying ,hens linseed
meal in their food. It is rich in
nitrogen, harmless and Very benefic-
ial to them.
-"Never buy a draught horse,"
'says the Farmer's Guide, "wbich
needs the whip to make him pull."
-The sooner an animal is matured
the sooner it will be ready for the
market and the cost of production
diminished. The quickest growth
is when the animal is very young.
It should be forced at the very
beginning. •-
-Young colts will soon learn to
eat oats when in the stalls *with
their dams, and an excellent way to
make the young lambs grow is to
keep ground oats where they can eat
whenever they so desire, but the
feed should be so placed that the
lambs can get to it while the old
sheep cannot reach it.
-The Spanish proverb that the
foot of the sheep is golden is espec'
ially true in winter. No farm stock
so easily kept will make so large a
pile of valuable manure as will sheep
They will tread down and evenly mix
with their droppings a large pile of
straw in one waiter. '1'he value of
the manure pile will depend on the
feed given to the sheep; but if they
are fattening they pay well for grain-
ing, as it increases wool growth as
well as fat and flesh.
-It is a waste of °time and labor
to attempt to keep sheep on wet
land they should be pastured on the
dry lands, of the farm and given
shelter, as dampness is more, injur.
ious to them than cold. Many fail.
urea with sheep is due to neglect in
properly protecting them against
storms, as they are subject to mauy
diseases, and quickly succumb there-
to.
-Just when the frost is coming
ont of the ground all stock should be
kept off the fields, as a single day's
occupancy of the fields by stock
when the ground is soft will destroy
the grass and leave great holes and
bare places on it. The fields that
are trampled never recover from
its injurious effects except at the
expense of of much labor.
