..y. THE ADVANCE. Jl. R- Fawcett. Editor. FLESHERTOi : THURSDAY. APRIL 8, 1884. EDITOKIAL XOTEH. The Ontario Legislature was prorogued last week. Prince Leopold, the Queens' youngest and favorite sou, ia dead. Mr. Cliarlton's teduc'tion bill n* defeated in the senate on Monday list. A motion tot the six months hoist Was declared carried on division. The great " conspiracy " case ia still the all-absorbing topic of the hour. Messrs. McKim, Balfour, and Dowling, have placed themselves in an unenviable light before the public. Accepting bribe money, and then tarniitg informers has left them open to all sorts of suspicions, and uuy have a tendency to teimiuate their political career rather abruptly. Ketchttm of the Hanover Pott, H the best paragraphist in Northern Uutario ; bat even ho does not come up to the Durham Chronicle man's standard not by a large majority. Arthur Henry knows how to appre- ciate a good joke about as well as he docs bad whiskey. The branch of Messrs. Win. Lucas & Co s private bank, in this village, is to be removed about the tit Ji of May, when the present popu- lar manager, Mr. A. MacPherson, re- tires from tlw management to take a 1:1 >ru important position in one of the chartered banks, in Western Canada. We have been informed that the I. ill at the Orange Hall, nsar Fleihcr- t >! Station, is in a fearful condition.

How m ic!i bnj.ir will this contem- plated improvement remain in the shade* of obscurity tlir country newspaper men, who Hre daily pestered with requests to publish this ' &uv," aud tliat " beautiful " piece, and all original, of couhte I Nine-tenths of the so-called poems out i country publiahera, are just so much wretched doggerel ; and an equal proportion of the really good poems sent in as " original contribu- tions," have been pilfered from hvtmi books or family story papers; with the name of the wilder attached, 'cading the public a largo proportion of it at least to believe it to be en- tirely original ! Whyt we have probably a score of poems in our office at the present time, said to have been written within the past year, and which to our certain knowledge, we read in books or papers twelve years ago ! Very " original " poetry that, and very fresh, to be sure ! EA'I'OSIA'G FRAUDS. The Agtnti Herald, an ably con- ducted monthly paper, published in Philadelphia, by Mr. L. Lum Smith, is down on frauds of every description. This paper haa, on more than one oc- casion, saved us from being " taken in" by Yankee sharpera, for which it ha fl our sincere thanks. What we would like to seo now, is, a paper published in Canada, having a similar mission in view, and which would be equally as fearless in exposing frauds of every description. We have quite as many sharpers in Canada as they have in the States. Foa SAIA "Not* an IngvrtM" by Ror. L A. Lambert. Thu is th in. -st effectual, most brilliant, and moat crush- ing reply to that blatant infidel, Bob Ingertoll, ever published. The pamphlut oonUini 200 pages, printed on good paper, in clear, plain type. For sale at THB A.UVANCB office, Fleaherton. Price 30 cents. The Ban Francuco Monitor aay of thii book : "We hope this pamphlet will find numerous readers among non- Catholics who dejiire to toe the rut and rant of Ingenoll rubbed out bj the learning and logic of Father Lambert." This is the Reason of the year when p )?ts are almost as plentiful as flowers in May. In one sense, poets are a tort of iKvr.is.iry nuisance, viz., w'.ioa we dt'sir to do our worst enemy a mortal injury, WR s-nd him a batch cf sprin ; px'try taken promiscously from our waste basket. Tiuxt usually floors him, and whun next heard from oar enemy has been consigned to the tanler mercies of some guardian of the law, for using profane language ! After that he usually gives ns a wide birth. Last week an tupiring youth from tomewhcrc in tha neighbourhood of t'.ie swamps of MeUncthon, and who,. ancestors have evidently been all boni l5ets f tr t'.ie last sixteen generations, Hjut us a poem ia blank verse, which lie r i:i-id-:ivil worthy a prominent place in the columns of THE ADVANCE. He said he " slightly imitated the style of Shakespeare." but his in- herent modesty prevented him draw- in,; comparisons ! We read the poem, which was entitled " A Dark ftprin;{ Tragedy." We read it a secjud time, but failing to perceive where tht ' dark tragedy " canio in, w.- came to the conclusion to put it carefully away, ami send it to' the Hiiuover 1'ott man the next time he Keif!

Once more the bright sunshine and bal- 017 breeses of gentla spring have ewme to relieve the monotoiy of a stormy, cold, ssowy winter. Again the songs of the birds art heard, and the earth will soon be wrapped in its most becoming cloak. The snow covered many ' ' deformities," and now a* it rapidly melt* in the warm ray* of the sun, queer looklag things are brought to light in many of the back- yards and alleys <>f our towns an*) village* Decayed vegetables, and all sort* of filth are revealed to vie*, Ashes strewn about in all directions, old oyster cans, and all sorts of rubbish are exposed te view sending forth odor* tbe reverse of plea sant. Filth, filth, filth every yard, every alley, yea, even the very streets abound with it, and the pure air of heaved is di- filed with its nauseating odors. Why will village people persist in keep- ing <iro re* of pigs and cow* one would almost think acme of them had little farm* in the immediate vicinity. Surely on* cew and one pig onght to satisfy any rea- sonable mortal although, for my own part, I would just "about us soon keep a good healthy polecat about my prem- ises aa a pig ; in fact, if there i* differ- ence between these two Quadrupeds, it i* decidedly in fsror of the former. Cows are ureful animal*. They give a* good milk to drink, rich cream for our tea, coffee, etc., and Dice, clean butter that is when they are milked properly. But some people do not know how to milk, and that's where the difficulty cornea in. They get down to their work like experienced milken, but oh ! horror of horrors ! no sooner is a few dr,|.a drawn from the cow, than down goe* the hand ( dirty itself, perhaps ) into the milk, and up it cornea and grasps the teat*, cleaning off the filth ugh ! it is dis- gniting to thiuk about it. Of all the filthy animals under ths sun, the pig itands out in hold relief as tbe filthiest of all. And vet it form* a prin- cipal art id a of feod to a large luats of people ! It astonishes mo Low people :an eat the meat of uch a disgusting an- mal ; especially whoa it is consiiMired :hat thousands of these animals are fat- tened for the market on the refuse of but- chers' Blaugbt*r-houes !
