Mr. Frank Abbott has moved into the house owned by Rev A.S. Tuttle.

Mrs. Andrews has returned from the Millinery opening, and is now prepared to show the latest styles in this line.

Canning:

Since last writing winter has nearly left us and now we here the voices of spring birds and the robin which reminds us that the time is near at hand when Mother Nature will put on her new spring jacket. We suspect the color will be "green", she is not subject to changes in fashion.

One peculiar thing was noticed about canning during the past winter and that was that all the robins did not leave the country. There was at least one noticed on several different occasions during the winter and frequently on the coldest day.

 The S. S. "Beaver", Capt. J. H. Potter, has already made several trips to St. John. The little steamer has had a good trade so far this spring. We hope it may continue.

Mr. Joseph Harris, who has been attending Military School in Kingston, Ontario, for the past three months, returned home on Saturday last.

These are not going to the Klondike but Canning will not be without representatives there. Mr. Wallace Parker expects to leave soon for the "Golden" North. Probably others will go later.

A most successful entertainment was given by the members of Court "Habitant" No. 1051 I. O. F., on Friday evening last. The programme consisted of music, both vocal and instrumental, speeches on "Forestry" and comic readings. Several selections were given by the Canning quartette, which consisted of Messrs John Brown, E. P. Grant, J. R. Forbes and J. A. Northup. One of the most pleasing selections was a song by Mr. J. A. Northup "There isn't much in it just now," The address of the High Chief Ranger, E. J. Hiseler, dealt with the Foresters as an insurance society. His report showed the order to be in good standing and that the insurance system of the order compared favorably with any of the old line companies doing business in the United States and Canada. The visit of the H. C. R. has been the means of securing several new applications for our Court.

Bicycles have commenced to re-appear on our streets. About every other man you meet is acting as agent or else has a second had wheel to sell.

On Wednesday morning six of our young men started for Massachusetts. They were James Cahill, Capt. I. B. Slocomb, Jr., Clarence Spicer, Stanley Armstrong, Eldon Morris, and Vinton Coonan. We deeply regret that so many of our young men think it necessary to leave their homes. We wish them every success.

By the burning of the steamer Whitelaw, on March 5^th, at Skagway, 110 Klondikers lost their outfits. Skagway's entire gang of thugs and freebooters surrounded the vessel while the passengers were escaping over her side and carried off much of her cargo. The passengers, crazed by their misfortune, turned and fought with the looters for their property. Knives and guns were used freely and many persons were badly wounded. The weaker passengers lost everything, while the stronger ones saved partial outfits.

Cambridge:

On Saturday, the 26^th ult., Mr. and Mrs. James Craig and their daughter Ethyl started to visit Mrs. Henry Borden, Church Street. As they were turning the corner near Mr. Norman Robinson's one mile from Kentville the forward axle of the wagon broke and threw all three to the ground. The horse was frightened and ran off, leaving them struggling in the mud, but not much hurt. Mr. Robinson kindly came to their assistance, took them to his house and provided them with a team to take them to the end of their journey. The runaway horse went to Mr. Borden's, about one mile and a half, taking the wagon with it. The wagon was pretty badly wrecked and the horse bruised and cut. Mr. Craig borrowed a team from Mr. Borden and left his horse to get better and the wagon to be repaired. On Saturday last he got them both home but the horse is still lame.

The Tea Social announced for next Friday evening, April 8^th, at Mrs. O. W. F. Webster's promises to be worth attending as a good musical and literary programme is being prepared. We hope it will be well patronized, as the object is good, to repair the church.

We are sorry to have to record the death of our young friend, Mr. Fred Ruggles, who was so suddenly called away on the 24^th, at the age of sixteen years, after being confined to the house only three days. The cause of his death was diabetes. Three physicians were called and all that medical aid could do was done but of no avail. The sorrowing family were forced to part with the loved one, but were comforted by the assurance that he had passed rejoicing, to the Home beyond. His remains were interred in the cemetery, Tremont, on the 26^th. The entire community sympathize with the bereaved family in their sorrow.

We notice Mr. Millidge Messinger, of Brooklyn, N. Y. and Mr. T. B. Messinger, of Wolfville, N. S. among the late arrivals.
