A young man who had been work-
ing with a farmer on the 16th con.,
Goderich township, was committed
to Goderich, Saturday, for trial on
a charge of assaulting his employer's
wife. The accused has always been
known as a quiet, respectable young
man, but received a sunstroke some
years ago, the lingering effects of
which may account for any appar-
• ent indiscretion he may be charged
with.
Now, REALLY !—Our friend Jim
Jackson has several tithes entertain-
ed a Clinton audience with his
comic songs, and he renders none
with more signal success than
"Listen to my tale of woe." i -le
has now, however, in his own house
a prima -donna who will make a
specialty of this song and we h-:ve
little doubt will convince Jim that
it should be off his role. For her
debut see announcement under

A LURiD PELT.—Just at sundown
Sunday evening it was a very pecu-
liar as well as pretty sight to look
at the western horizon and note a
thin line or lurid belt of flame that
seemed to intervene between the
sky and the earth, or probably the
lake, as far as the eye could reach
north and south. The earth seemed
to sink into this narrow sea of
crimson glory and was immediately
nigbtcapped with the dark, leaden -
hued canopy of heaven.
PREPARATION.—Messrs L. Beatty.
of Varna, and Editor Holmes, of
Clinton and their respective lawyers
wore in Goderich last week, the two
former uudergoing a preliminary
examination in a suit for libel
entered by Mr. Beatty against the
publisher of the New Era. It will
be remembered that the libel arose
out of a comtnuuication in the paper
referred to regarding a case tried
before the Varna magistrate in
which Mr. Beatty was the defend-
ant. The case will bo tried at the
forthcoming assizes.

EASTER DATES.—The fact that
Easter falls on a very early date
this year (March 29) has caused a
"friend of facts and figures" to col-
lect some curious statistics. In 1883,
he says, Easter fell on March 25,
and it will only onto again in this
century, namely, in 1894, fall on so
early a date. The earliest day on
which Easter can fall is on March
22, ar.d this only in cane the moon
is full on March 21, when this date
happens to fall o'h a Saturday. Olt
the other hand Easter never falls
later than April 25, this was the
case in 1666, 1731 and 1886, and
will only happen once in thrPnoxt
century—.lamely, in 1943.

EGGS AS T1113UTE TO TILE KING•
—Formoily, at the approach of
Easter, all the hen -roosts of France
were ransacked for the largest eggs,
which were brought as a tribute its
the King. At the conclusion of the
Easter high mass in the dispel of
the Louvre, lackeys brought into the
Royal Cabinet pyramids of gilded
eggs, placed in baskets adorned
with verdure ; and the chaplain,
after having blessed them,disti ibuted
them in the presence of his most
Christian Majesty,to all the persons
about the court,
LADY OF THE L.1MR.—At
lington, England, there is, or was,
a curious custom annually observed,
on the next Monday after \Vhit-suu
week, wherein a fat live lamb is
provided, and the maidens of the
town, having their hands tied be-
hind them, chase it through the
streets, and she that, with her teeth
catches and holds the lamb is de
clarod the ''Lady of the Lamb" un-
til the same day of the following
year,when another test is made. Af
ter. the lamb has been caught by too
fair one it is dressed by the village
butcher, and with the akin hanging
on is carried on a long pole bar'o'n
the lady and her escorts to' the vil-
lage green, where much music
and merrymaking follows the
event.
DON'T WANT IT ANY "LONGER".
—M.IG. Cameron, barrister, now of
Toronto, writes the Editor of the
Godes ich Star that he don't want that
paper any longer. We hope Broth -
or Mitchell will not make it any
longer. To do so would necessitate
his purchasing a $2,500 pross,which
outlay would be aggravated by Mr.
Cameron's withdrawal of his patron
age of $1.00 a year. No, Mr. Star,
if you have been contemplating
making your paper any longer,dou't
you do it. But the tenor of Mr,
Cameron's letter indicates that he
will not take the "low, dirty shoot"
in any event. Editor Mitchell ac-
knowledges Mr. Cameron's epistle
but does not say whether he will
take -MT. amerou'--aitv'ic ubbur
not making his paper any Longer,
but we infer he will exercise his
own discretion because ho has re-
turned the don't want it any longer

WIND PeorHECY.—it is said
that as the wind blows on the 21st
of March, so will it as a rule blow
for the following three months.
Last Saturday, the 24st., the prevail:
ing wind was from the East,aud not
Lunch of a blow at that. If the pre-
mises hued good we should have
mild weather, as a rule, during the
next three mouths.
MRs. S. FITzitMoNS, has sent a
letter to the Foresters of Count 16,

her tato husband. Also thanking

A Goofs IinoTHERuoon.—St.
Paul's Chapter of St. Andrew's
Brotherhood held an open sleeting
in the school house 'Tuesday even-
ing. There was a good attendance.
The president, iblr. Wilmott, in the
course of all interesting address dis-
counted a tendency in some quar-
ters to denouuco certain really
harmless amusements, which young
people engage in, as unscriptural
and wrong in the hope of forcing
religion upon them. This uncalled
for austerity instead of slaking the
average young man more spiritual
often causes him to drift further
away and go to places where less
innocent recreation is to be found,
at the expense of body and eoel.
After song and reading the Rector
gave an interesting address on tho
work of the Brotherhood. Said he
was glad to sen so many present,
that the meeting as not a ';roping"
in meeting, but a,nlply to explain
the objects and working of the
Society, allowed the necos,lit,y for
greater earnes:nees and zeal for the
spreac of Christ's Kingdom among
young men, which was the sole
object of the Brotherhood. After
the rest of the programme was
thigh -et tlreT1Tnt -tnteretstfrrg---pert
was discussed—the refreshments
being served in bachelor style by
the members of tho Brotherhood.
The meeting closed by singing
"Rock of Ages."

%' IIEN SITE WOULD SHE WOOD
'AND WAS \Voo'ED.—A merchant in
Clifford, Ont., offered a respectable
young woman twenty yards of silk
for a dress if she would saw half a
cord of wool in front of his store.
She borrowed a saw, spit on her
hands, awl went through that wood
pile just in three (lours, and the
admiring crowd bought her a 812
hat to go with the firers, and within
a week she had seventeen offers of
marriage. \Vhat a dandy wife she
would slake for Horne poor but
honest man who is too lazy to buck
his own WOOII.
A REPLY TO NONPOLITICAL.
Editor- News Record.
Sia,—lo your issue of the 1 lth jest,,
I finds let,er eien;d "?ion -p 1 tical" in
which yr u- rorre'pendent says, "I have
been renirmied t.f the published ender ea -
don of Mr. Cameron by the woman's
Christian •1',rnperanre Ur ion of this
town, f r his valuable assistance to the
cense of temperance" end asks the ques-
tion, "Was this the case ?"
In reply 1 would any 1 have a copy of
a letter written to Mr. Cameron on the
16:h June 1885 in which the officers of
W. C. T. U. express their thanks to Mr.
C. for his aveireanco in support of
tentr.eranee leg`etati.oa dor ng that see -
Hi .n f p,r jam .ut, (r.o the etetisrice of
which your correspondent is rtferred)
we also asked that he would continue to
ext rt his infl tooce in preventing the
final passage of the wine and beer
amendment to the Canada Temperance
act, and in securing the amendment
thereto.
Tho Ietttr was not written to Mr.
Cameron because we believed him to be
a Temperance man, nor yet because of
the aide nt polit ce to which he belonged,
ut as the representative of this ridirg
in parliament at that time, and would
have beer, sent to Mr. Porter or any
other gentleman occupying that position
and voting as did Mr. Cameron at the
time.
No one, sir, deplores the sight which
'tr7r5"tVl'tYi 8aeitoii Thi rrrdry w711011
your correspondent speaks more than
the members of the W. C. T. U., and I
think ynur correspondent will be goner -
one enough to admit this.
Yours respectfully,
