We had thunder storm Satur.
day night, and much rain fell. Sun
day was cold, and the burgher who
ventured out to Church found that the
North wind searched him through and
through to find a place to plant rheu-
matism or neuralgia. 1t didn't catch
us. Oh, no, we are waiting for
warmer weather.

We are not aware that we gave
any offence last week. All whose
names were mentioned patronized us,
except the Post man. Mr.. Montague
denies our statement-perhape he is
correct-but several ladies and gentle
men rivet our statement. The ''blun-
der" if it can be called such, came
from his dividing the word into sylla-
bles. Like the Heather Chinese, the
Post is peculiar.
AN ApoLoGY.-Ina late issue of the
AGE we stated that "copper" Pratt
had "skeddadled" leaving behind him
wife and almost five children. We
should have said, almost sic, as time
has fully demonstrated.
The following resolutions on
the death OF Mr.. Kingsley were adopt
ed by the Sons of Temperance at a
late meeting -
Whereas, Brother Chas. Kingsley
has been removed from our midst by
death, and whereas his long term of
membership from Jan. 1849 to April
1875, over quarter of a century, his
fidelity as Son of Temperance and
his uprightness as a man call for some
thing more than passing notice.
Resolved, 1st That in the death of
Bro. Kingsley we believe we lose a
firm and consistent member and
a jealous advocate of the cause we
love. His family kind husband and
father, the community an upright
and consistent christian citizen.
End. That we sympathize with the
mourning family in this time of their
bereavement.
Sd. That these resolutions be placed
on our records, copy sent to the
afflicted family and also presented for
publication in our local papers.
