Good Friilay was spent very ijuietly in towji. It was a counterpart of Sunday without the church services.

Our band conld uphold the honor ol the batallion all tight, and wc hope plum will fall to I hem. The service iu the Methodist church Sunday evening partook of the nature of a 80fi;» service. Three short addre.i'<es were deliveredâ€" one by Mr. Dyer of CshuT;), another by t!io pastor, and one ou "Hymnologj" by Mr. M. Richards, n. The nnisic furnished by the choir was much appreciated. The church v.i.s Iieantifully decorated with flowering plants for the occasion. Why c.'umot some spot ts begotten up for the 2Hh of May this year! It is a long time since anything of this nature h.isbcen indulged in, and it would be a welcome relief from the hum drum of monotony that characterizes the goneral holiday hero.

A Poison Case A bench of magistrates consisting of Messrs. A. S. VunDusen, M. Ri;;hard8on and W. Stewart listened patiently all Wednesday afternoon of last week to a pi'ison case fn)m Eugenia. There were two charges, one against fl!r. Robert Gorley and the other against Mr. Jonathan LHlimor for putting out poieon. The complainant was Mr. R. Geiioc, who liad a hound poi.soned a short time aj^o. Mr. Gouiley admitted having put out poison for foxes and was fined 85 and costs. Mr Latimnr denied having had poison out during iho pist three mcnths, and the case ugaiiist him was ditmissed, each party, however, to pay their own costs. In connection with this it may be well 1 1 q-.iote the law ri^g.^irding poison fm- the benefit of the public at large. This offense is becoming allo- gethor too common iu our district and must be stamped out. Some petpple do not appear to under-stund the law in this matter, and â- >thors totally diiregardit. Soc. 5, chap. 1'.), .5i> tic, says : " It shall not be lawful for any person to kill or takeany aninml prctoct>d ly this act by the use of poiscai or poiiotious sub- stances, nor to expose poison, poisoned bait or other p lisoned substances in any place or locality »hv:re dog.i or cat;le may u.siially have acce.is to the same. ' The penally provided is from ?6 to f 25 with costs of prosecution, and in defaulli of p.ayinont three months in' jail. AUCTION SALE â€" OF- ]VIa,cclona»ldL-s Bankrupt . Stock SATURDAY, APRIL a^, AlaANDjP.n Rev. J. Mahau of this p'ace tells an interesting incident o jnnected witli his pastoral labors of a few years ago. While stationed at Mono Roid two men ran up from the Junction, about two miles away, on a hand oar, and inforni«d him that his p.esenco was required immedialely at the Junction to marry a couple. On arriv- ing there it was discovered that i o license had been secured, and paities were despjituhed in two different direc- tions, one on a handcar and one on foot, to secure this neci'Ssary document. As the couple desired to take the tram for Hamilton, nearly due, extreme haste was le-piired, and the train die?r in be- fore the men dispatched for the lice.nse had rotuined. A moment after- ward the man on the handcar carae in with the document, pufTing and blowing, and no time was wasted in beginning the ceremony. It was "iiiultum in parvo" in this case, and the p.istor says he never talked so fiist iu his life, while the bride- groom's father talked lo the conductor and tried to persuade him to hold the train. Before the last words were pronounc- ed, which made the couple man and wife, tbo train strated, and the young people maJo a bolt for tlieir car without the customary benediction. This, however, was tired after them as they ran, the certificate was forwarded by mail, and thus happily ended one of the speediest and most exciting weddinss on record. Obituary M.'H. Simmons, wife of tlie late John Simmous, 4:h line, Arleinesia, died on Mond.iy, 12ih inst., at the residence of her f>on in-law, Mr. Frank Chard, at the advanced a^e of 7-t year?. Deceosed passed away after a short illness, She leaves a large family behind to mourn her loss â€" one son aud SfVen daughters â€" all of whom reside in this township with the exceptions of two who live in W<Kidstock. She left the nssnrnnce behind that death to her was a gain, and was glad lo join the hived ones gone before, trustina in her Saviour. The funeral .sermon was pr.:ached in the Presbyterian chuc'i, Fleshirton, Easter Sunday, by tie pastor, Rev. Mr. Thoin, from the words : "He is not here for he is risen as hcs.iid. Come, see the place where the Lord lay." M.ilt.hew 28and 6. NOTICE Noiico feboruby glvou that P.
