A Bridge.

Attention is called to the PROPOSE :
ton of Mr.. F. w. Gatke in another
place. He is an experienced and ca
pablo bridge builder,,and is thorough
ly competent to do what he agrees
to. His offer is for an open Howe
Truss Bridge, with double carriage
and foot ways, which will be in every
respect as durable-if kept we'll
painted-as covered one. We ,bo-,
liovo that bridge built on Gatke's
plan, costing no more than $50, 900
will pay tho stock holders at least
20 per cent. not on the investment,
besides being Of incalculable benefit
TO the trade ofthe place.
IF VIC can not raise this amount
and build tho bridge speedily, we
ought ut least to stop bloviating
about our wealth and public spirit.

THE COMING FEAST OF EAsTER.--
Easter day, 1850, possesses an unusual
interest from the fact of It's occurring on
March 2Sth, the original day. At least,
this is the conclusion of that most
careful chronologcr, DE-. Jarvis, after an
exhaustive examination. Others give
March 9th rs the day, but DR.. Jarvis
argument seems conclusive. What adds
to the interest of the coincide ce is the
fact that Easter has not occurred on this
particular day-March 18th 49, for the
long period OF la years, which may be
partly due from the change of old to new
style of reckoning. 1t was as long ago
as 1888 Chat the Church cclcbrat ed Ilas-
ter on the original day of March 2Sth.
Easter can occur rs early as March odd.
II fell on that day in the years 1913, 1865
and 1861. 1t fell on April 25th--thc
latest possibla day-in 1911 and 1896. II
the coincidence Of this year will llinale
in any heart the desire t. celebrate with
a higher devotion the "Queon Of Feasts''
and to give a warmer tributc of thanks
and praise to the risen Lord it will not
have been noted in vain. thUrch 10 p
