They were going fishing, and they weren’t going to walk either, but all the horses and rigs at the Livery Stables were spoken for and neither Billy Caldwell nor Dan Campbell could accommodate them. The fish- ermen were modest. and enquired aboat single rigs hut rejoiced when they found the only one available was a team and heavy wagon, which though a. little inconvenient. they felt would be necessary to carry home the fish. They started early, Sam handling the lines, while George used his fish pole as a whip and gave imaginary lessons on how to land the three pounders they were going to ly "licked,” but that they were never treated “whiter” in all their lives.

He says our lights are steady, without flickering. and during his time here they have never given out.

IT is a common error with the pub- lic to think that a vehicle caught up to on the highway does not have to turn out unless called upon to do so by the party behind it. The law re- quires the party to turn out of his own accord. This is what the Act says: "' In case a person travelling or being Upon the highway in charge of a vehicle as aforesaid or on horseback is ovextaken by any vehicle or horse- man travelling at greater speed, the person so overtaken shall quietly turn out to the-'right and allow the said vehicle or horseman to pass.” HALE, hearty and handsome are words expressive of the condition of Miss Frankie Black, who stepped off the train Saturday night after a four or five months’ visit in Now Or- Ieans, Chicago and other American cities and places of interest. \Ve are pleased to see her back again, and feel confident that her return to town has gladdened the hearts of more than her parents.

Reeve Staples was asked to take the chair by Mr. Falkiagham, and it is needless to say he perfox med his part: all right. All took part in the repast served up so liberally, and this part of the program ended, the platform was cleared of the dancers for a time to give way to a literary departure. The Rocky Saugeen is well named, and now when the giant force of elec- ’ tricit'y is just being harnessed by man to do his work and reduce his burden, the time seems near at hand when this perpetual power may be changed to serve a more useful purpose. Such are the thoughts that flit through a speculative mind in a speculative age, and ere long that the moter power of the town may get its impetetus from Hayward’s Falls would not be an unreasonable conjec- ture.

The program consisted of the usual sports indulged in on such an occa- sion, such as swinging, boating, racing, etc., while those who didn’t care to indulge in the more vigorous exercises, could satisfy their curiosi- ty in viewing nature in its primeval grandeur, which truly seems to be here in abundance. The first picnic, of the season, was held on the Queen’s Birthday, at Hayward’s Falls, when about seven or eight hundred assembled to take part in the sports, and enjoy the hos- pitality of Mr, and Mrs. W.

Mr. Edge was a success everywhere and popular wherever he was known, He was a fine specimen of physical manhood; vigorous, strong and active and a man of whom his native town- ship may well be proud. In his ministeral work he travelled the Paisley, Hanover, Clinton. Godrich and Acton Circuits, and for the last three years he held the pas- torate of Wellington Street. Church, London. The deceased wz‘t; born in Glenelg, fOI'EY-eight years ago, on one of the Edge farms near Zion. Though he had few educational advantages. by dint of hard work and hard study, he worked his way upward, step by step, until he became President. of the London COnference of the Metho- dist Church. a position made vacant by his untimely death. Many of our readers will regret; to learn that. Rev. Joseph Edge, of London, died at his home on Tuesday morning last, of spinal meningites. The simple witnessing of the eclipses as they occur is not the strangest thing in connection with :such phenomena. The wonderful degree of accuracy with which scien- tific knowledge and inathamatical calculation enables us to fortell these events hundreds of years before they occur must lead the thinking mind to reflect on the impossibility of such perfect and complicated machinery being thrown together without de- sign, and working by more chance. The transit of Venus accurred in the summer of of 1881, and astromonical calculations Show that a recurrence? will not take place until the year 2004. Truly the Heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament showeth His handiwork. Smoke “Tommy the Barber” cigars. The light of the moon is Only a reflected light, the light of the sun which shines full upon it being re- flected to the earth just as a lamp shining on a brilliant object causes a diminished light to be thrown by the latter in some other direction. Thus may be seen the causes of solar and lunar eclipses, or eclipses of the sun and moon respectively. Without going into a lengthy deli- nition of eclipse, we may simply say that it is a darkening of a lumin- ous body such as the sun or moon. The moon, in round numbers. is 240, 000 miles from ihe earth while the estimated distance of the sun is 97, 000,000. If in the course of her orbit the moon should happen to pass in a direct line between the sun and the earth, the rays of the sun are ob- structed and the result is a partial or total eclipse of the sun, as the case may be. Such an occurance always happensabout the time of the new moon, when both bodies are on the same side of the earth, or in more technical language when the earth, sun and moon are in syzygy. If, on the Other hand. the sun and moon should be in opposi-i tion, that is the three in a direct line with the earth between the orher two the result would be a total or partial eclipse of the moon, the light of that luminary being obscured by the shadow of the earth falling upon her face. Though the subject of eclipses is supposedly well taught in our public schools we find shat even yet there are men unschooled in the cause of the phenomenon, and a few words of explanation may not be out of place in this week’s issue. Just as we write. Monday morning at 9 o’clock, a number of boys and girls, and men and women, are gaz- ing with the naked eye and through smokeâ€"d glass at the most complete solar eclipse that has been observable for years in this part- of the earth. and many before who never witnessed such a phenomenon will have some thing to think about in afterlife.
