The meetings are always fully attended, and those who carry on this cause are to be congratulated on the good work they are doing in our midst. The Sunday school has grown admirably during the last year or two. We feel this is largely due to the deep interest and zeal of the superintendent, Mr. Lucas. But we are sorry more of the parents do not attend. Surely there is no one who has learned everything the good book can teach, if so they would get an opportunity to share their knowledge with the less fortunate if they attended.

GRASS HILL Traffic is again being resumed on our concession roads, which were for the past few weeks almost] impeasible for vehicles, on account of a few large lagging snowbanks. We are patiently waiting our turn at Grass Hill to operate the stoneâ€" crnsber for a season. A liberal coat- ing of crushed stone would be quite acceptable to many of our roads.

A great. number of new farming implements have been introduced in this neighborhood this spring, compris- ing seeders, barrows, binders, ebc.. of various makes, and a good many of them are of foreign manufacture. THE WATCHMAN-WARDER: LINDSAY, ONT; BYSTANDER. Why not patronize and encourage our own local manufactures? There is a place here that exerts a great magnetic influence just now. All look with longing lingering glances toward a certain wood from which at regular. periods emanates suggestive columns of smoke. and from which we catch at intervals a faint but delicious odor of. maple extract. Of course we all expect a “sugar ofi'.” The sugar season is likely to be a short one this year owing to winter’s prolonged stay and the subsequent steady approach of warm weather.

Watch for large posters. against the Meriposa. council by one or more of our citizens in the near future, as a result of the council’s negligence in looking after a covered drain running through the village, which has in some way been obstructed. These citizens have sustained considerable inconvenience and loss as s result of flooded cellars. On Monday evening a small audience assembled in the hall to liscen to a. lecture delivered by a. wandering phrenologist. The genial delinestor of bumps accom- panied his lecture by an illustration of that mysterious process known as “read- ing heads.” All were delighted with the professor’s sttempts in this line, snd most will sdmit, that whether or not he is s phrenologist, he is certainly a mighty good gueuer. ,1, _ Some of the boys here in town, who are yet at that tender age when they need continually watching. have been carrying guns lately and are having sport royal shooting email birds. They are excep. tionally careless while handling fire-arms and several times they come perilously near shooting persons a short distance away.
