The repwt of the (‘ivil Service Examin- ations held last March has just been pub. lisbed. In the list of sucoessful csndidutes we were glad to see the name of Mr. H. A. Nicholls. EA passed with high honors both the Prelimimwv and Qualifying examina- sions, as well as the optional subject, Precis. A certificate obtained from such an examin- ation renders the holder elegible for the best pnsitjons in the hands of the Daminficn Gov- prnment. Aurora Wins. A jenior lacrosse club from Aurora. visited our town last Friday to cross sticks with the White rRosw, It was a return match and the result showed that the northerners got up too early in the morning for our boys. They won by three straight games. If those young knights of the stick continue to prac- tice. Aurora may in a. few years boast of a. first-class lacroxse team.

A conple of teams of somewhat miscellaneous description were improvished for a tug of war, which result- el in a tremendous pull from east to west, to the great disccmfizure of the weaternere,who had allowed their visible faculties to so over- come their muscular abilities as to render themselves powerless just when strength and concentrated efiux-t was most required. It was a “draw game" in favor of the eastern- ers, and the youngsters enjoyed the inn im- mensely. The hilarity was kept up until the shades of evening began to set in, when the programme was suddenly changed to A feast of l‘flSpbeH‘leS and cream, with excellent sub~ stantinl accompaniments, liberally supplied by the lady of the lawn. The evening was very pleasantly spent by all. and the little party broke up by singing the National An- them and giving three cheers for Mfs. Lang. stafi and one for the Queen._ On the kind invitation of Mrs. Langstafl the members of the Band of Hope to the number of about sixty, assembled last Fri- day afternoon on the beautiful lawn in Iront of the Dr's residence. The Superintendent, Mrs. Gr. Wiley, and several ladies who con- tribute their ready help to the promotion and sustaining of this little band of temper- ance workers, were on hand to assist in mak- inp,P things lively for the juveniles. The proâ€" gramme began by the children singing their favorite song, “ Temperance Bovs and Girls are \Ve.” with their usual enthusiasm, and was followed by other renditions equally ap- propriate to the objects of their organization. Afterwards questions relative to the nature and properties of alcohol, were put by the Superintendent, and proper answers elecit- ed. Then cmne the games, when all, irre- spective of ego, went in for fun, the younger applauding: with uproarious laughter every unsuccessful attempt of the older ones to hop around. regardless of years, with the Mr. John Palmer received an ugly out on his head last. Monday morning. He was standing on the floor of his new barn, which has just been erected on his farm. when a board about three feet in length by five inch- es wide fell from the roof and made a. gash in his head right to the skull in the shape of V. A sudden gust of wind was the cause of the accident. Mr. Palmer was rendered al- most unconscious for some time. Being driven home, a doctor was immediately sent for who came and dressed the wound, which required several stitches. Had the board not. struck ina slanting position his skull would in all likelihood have been fractured, as the fall was fully twenty feet. This is the second accident which has occurred at the barn since it was raised a little over a week ago. Believers in the existence q; phenomena produced by supernatural agen- cies will be looking for a third. L See our cotton 4cts and gets a 8, 9, IO, 12 nan’s. Worthy of Consideration. The Toronto Glob suggests the advisabi- lity of providing drinking troughs or foun- tains along the streets for the dogs of the city. Several cases of hydrophobia having recently been reported, the suggestion is an appropriate one. as want of water is said to be the principal cause for this dreadful dis- ease in the canine race. Perhaps the sug- gestion may prove beneficial to the citizens of this community. We believe most people give their domestic animals food, but we are inclined to think that as far as water is con- cerned they are allowed to get it as best they can. Water, though a luxury, is plentiful in this part of the world,therefore give “man’s faithful friend and companion” all he may desire. the other noted workers will takl attractions,the arrangements not yet complete. will be pro hoped that the Unions of Yc other western counties, will l to the invitation of the I’m-0.1 this a grand rally of white and their friends.

The Dr. intends remainiug only for a. short time. It is said that the use of tobacco often leads to the use of strong drink. So it is thought that the game of billiards goes hand in hand with the practice of using profane oaths. Of course there are exceptions to all rules. Thoughtful people are beginning to ask themselves the question, is there any connection between our national game and disgraceful fighting. Careful observers will be forced to admit there is a very close con- nection. Scarcely a match takes place of late, whether it be in large cities or in places of smaller dimensions.that the papers do not report serious contentious, and otten hand- tol-hand combats. Nor is our own village any better in this respect. Ladies are invit- ed to witness a grand lacrosse matchand be- fore they are on the grounds half an hour they are compelled to become eye-witnesses to free fights, and to listen to blasphemous and unbecoming language. Even among junior clubs the same kind of exhibitions takes place. At the match here last Friday two small boys on the opposing teams threw down their ’crosses and began defending themselves according to the "manly art." As the old cock crows, the young ones learn. So it is with boys. If men give way to their temper no more can be exspected of youths. Of course every allowance must be made in the heat of a contest. Yet if lacrosse is to continue to be our national game, the rules governing it must be drawn closer. Lacrosse Match. The championship lacrosse match played here last Saturday between the Beavers of Woodstock and the home team resulted in a victory for the former by three goals to one. Both teams appeared in gray suits, and but for the red cups worn by the visitors, stran- gers would have had a difliculty in distin- guishing the players on either side. Both clubs played well, but fate seemed to be a- gainst the Young Canadians. 0n the whole the team play was better on the Woodstock side, besides, their men were more careful in covering their opponents who showed much carelessness in that respect. The weak point in the Y. C. club was in the home players, and it is safe to say that fully a dozen shots were fired on the goal of their opponentsmnd no one could tell why the ball did not ;0 through. The play was decidedly l'OflgllJllJu very few escaped without scars and bruises. The whole time of two hours and a half was taken up with the match. The umpires were Messrs. J. Garvin end P. Schofield, of the Toronto Lacrosse club, and Mr. Johnston.al- so of the Torontos,aeted as referee. E. Y. License Commissioners. The Board of License Commissioners for the East Riding of the County of York met on Saturday, the 16th inst., at the Clyde Hotel, Toronto. Preeent.l\1essrs. McCafi‘rey, Bennie and Brown. Commissioners. and Jae. Ecknrdt, Inspector. Minutes of last meet- ing read and approved. The Inspector pre- sented a petition from Mr. H. R. Franklnnd, Reeve of York, and 136 other ratepayers, praying the Board to reconsider their former decision and grant a tavern license to Mr. R. H. Crew, of the village of Norway. After a lengthened discussion their former decision was adhered to. The application of James Langston re. Milliken hotel was transferred to Richard B. Popham. Mr. Rennie present ed a petition from Mr. S. Kennedy and 46 others praying the Board not to grant a license at Millikan hotel. The Board taking into consideration the travelling public and also the very flattering recommendation of Mr. Popham, from Mr. Thos. Dexter, chiel Inspector of Toronto, and besides this a ma- jority of the signatures on the petition not being according to the statutes made and provided therein, unanimously resolved to grant Mr. Popham a license. Accounts were then passed, and the Board adjourned to meet at the call of the chairman. Numerous complaints come to us from different parts of the village in reference to nuisances allowed to accumulate on many premises to the risk of health and the an- noyance of neighbors. Unclear: water- cloeets, neglected pig~sties, and filthy yards are exceedingly risky at this time of the year. If typhoid fever. or any other epidem- ic should set in, there would be nothing to hinder the germs of disease from being carri- ed to every house through every open door or window. Many of these accumulations have been existing since the spring, through the neglect of the Council in sending out the Inspector with a warning to every household- or to clean up. There is no doubt of the present official doing his duty thoroughly if he is but praperly authorized, and he should be authorized at once With instructions to report every delinquent who will not come to time. Many tolerate a nuisance so long that their olfactory nerves become obtuse, and they cannot discern the fact when it is right at their very door. Another lot of 5 cent Muslim‘s at The Concrete.
