The Tunnel.

The tunnel company have purchased
81 lots in Sarnia ut cost of $4,000, and
work will be resumed at once. The first
proceeding will be to open cut or
chopper directly over the site Of the
portal, two hundred feet wide on the
surface and sloping to thirty feet square
at the bottom. The bottom will be on
the grade of the tunnel, which will
axe the depth of the hopper" on the
Canadian side sixty feet. and oil the
Michigan side forty-iive feet. The
boring machinery will be placed in po-
sition ut the bottom of the pit, and the
work OF construction begun from each
end and carried to junction under the
middle Of the st. Clair. The excava-
tion Of the choppers will DC done by
contract. and the work, we believe, has
been already awarded, the contract
calling for the completion OF the exca-
walton in three months. About $1,000
cubic yards Of earth will have TO be
moved, ard to handle the material a
temporary track will he built. The clay
will be used to fill up the trestle work
Of the Grand Trunk track along the
bay shore on the Canadian side, and for
filling up the low lands on this side. a
side track is now being built on the
Conger property, recently purchased by
the company.--Pt. Huron Times.

The Festal Preceding All Saints, Day.


To day brings again the annual recur-
renee of one of the chief church festivals
All Hallew's or All Saints Day. or
course with this evening comes al other
return of that ancient and almost nysti-
cal celebration called Halloween" The
festival IF All Saints. Day itself had its
origin IN the dedication by Pope Boniface
~, in The year COZ. of the famed temple
called the Roiunda. In the year 731
the festival came To be regularly celebtat
ed at Rome. extending thence all over
Christendom, it has from that time to ibis
known DO interruption The first day of
November, becoming thus general feast
day among all classes of Christians. In
course of time it came 10 pass that the
evening preceding,-the evening of the
last day OF October-was also celebrated
under the name of '.All Hallow Eve
Anciently, the singularly superstitions,
ADD, TO US of these days, singularly ludi-
crous belief was entertained that this
evening was the one on which the great
devil, accompanied by all his little devils,
was most likely TO visit the earth for the
purp Sc Of venting his spleen against the
many Saints whose festival was SO near
at hand. Now in modern times of course
all these supersiiiions have passed away
and the Eve" is observed, at least by
the juvenile folks, rather by the blowing
of horns. the pounding of doors, the ring
ing of bells and many other mischievous
capers, than by any solemn or mystical
rites.

The End at Last.

Obedeth Bates, hard shell Baptist of
Shelby county, Ala, who signs himself
1.-The Lords prophet" has issued circu
lar in which he predicts the end of the
world on the 9Th of November. and says:
Prepare, all of ye, for the end is at hand
l have read it in the stars, and angels have
come to me in my dreams and told me
the glad tidings The world will come
to an end on Monday. November 5, in
the year of our Lord 1888. Prepare all
of we, for that great day. God has
fastened the day because of the wicked
generation of men called politicians They
are all falsifiers and blssphemers, and
shall be burned in lakes of liquid fire. be-
cause they fear not God and are given to
iniquity. Rivers of boiling water will
burn the Prohibitionists and sea of fire
and birthstone will open and swallow all
Democrats and Republicans. Prepare,
all of We, and remember the day is at
hand"

A Few words Of warning.

Tonight is Hallow Zen. 1t may be
well to state in this connection for the
benefit of the hoodlum element who have
on similar occasions 10 years past annoy
ed our citizens by their foolish pranks
that their violations OF the law will not
be winked at this year. Such acts as the
removing of door steps, swinging signs,
defacing property. the breaking of win
dow glass and such like rowdyism. come
under the head of malicious mischief and
the State laws as well as the town ordi-
nanccs provide severe penalties. There
is no fun in destroying property, and
should such things be done the perpetra-
tors thereof will have very hard road 10
travel ifthey are discovered.

A Fast Potato Digger.

Some days ago Mr.. Benjamin Garner
made wager with his brother George
that he could dig two hundred bushels of
potatoes in day. The wager was accept
ed, brother George not thinking that his
brother Ben. who is 10y the way a very
corpulent gentleman, could accomplish
the work in the time specified. Brother
Ben, however, went TO work and beat his
own record by digging two hundred and
sixteen bushels in five hours. Mr.. George
Garner became alarmed at the progress of
the work aud had to insist upon his BROTH
er stop digging as there were not enough
hands to store the potatoes away.
