Not a Leap -Year
In answer to the question asked by
a correspondent, it may be said that
the reason 1900 is not a leap year is
that, according to the Gregorian calen-
dar, all centurial years that aro not
muntiples of 400 are not to be made
leap years.

interest of the evening's proceedings.
Mr. McGill is a born singer, possess-
ing a rich, full and powerful voice.
His selections were listened to with
rapt attention. His rendition receiv
ed well, deserved enohore. He has a
more than local reputation as a singer
of high order, which was well su.tain-

Fraud in Packing
Some startling statements were made
by Prof. Robertson at the meeting of
the Fruit Growers' Association, held
in Whitby last 2week—statmont3
which show that dishonesty in fruit -
pecking is on the increase, rather than
otherwise. One case was referred to
in particular. A barrel siupposed to
contian Pippins, was found to have a
couple of rows of Pippins at each end,
while the centre was filled with stock
only suitable for cider. This was not,
unfortunately, by any means an isolat-
ed case. The Government have had
officials during the present shipping
season at St. John, Montreal and Hali-
fax, simply for the purpose of keeping
tab on the character of the shippments
made, and the reports of these officers
show that at least GO per cent. of the

two Reformers and two Conservatives

Hon. John Dryden, was elected by
352 majority, and in South Brant
another Liberal, Mr. T. R. Preston,
was returned by 439 majority. in
East Elgin, Mr. Brower, the Conserva-

There is a good deal of speculation
as to who will be our Reeve for next
year, and the names of Messrs. A. T.
Davison and William Taylor are pro-
minently mentioned for the office.
Both these gentlemen have had several
years experience at the Council Board.
and either of them would make a good
Chief Magistrate. Mr. William Allen's
name is also freely mentioned for the
Reeveship,
ASHPIELD TOWNSHIP.
Mr. John N. McKenzie having de-
ci'ied to retire from municipal politics,
the fight for the Reeveship of Ashfield,
will he between Messrs. Morgan Dal-
ton and William Kickley. For Coun-
cillors the names of Messrs. William
Hunter, John Bartley, John McIntyre
and Thos. Stobhere, are prominently
mentioned.
KINLOSS TOWNSHIP.
The retirement of Mr. George
Moffat from the Reeveship of &inloss
will cause a vacancy in that Council,
but it is more than probable that Mr.
Frank Henery will be elected Reeve
without opposition.
IWEST WAWAl'tOSH.
There is little or no stir in the
muflioipal affairs of the township this
year, and a prominent resident inform-
ed us on Saturday last that it was
altogether likely the present Uouncil
would be returned by acclatnation.
Greenway Defeated
The general elections in the Provin-
ce of Manitoba on Thursday last,
resulted in a defeat of the Reform
Greenway Government. There are
forty constituencies in the Province
and the latest returns from the elect-
ions show that the Conservatives have
carried 21 seats; the Reformers 16,
and .the Independents 1. In the lest
House the Greenway Government had
34 of the 40 seats, so that a tremen-
dous turnover must hare taken place
in the Province. It is said that the
Government's railway policy, was the
chief cause against the Reform party.
The two elections in Dauphin and
Gimill will be held this weeks the one
constituency beim inhabited chiefly by
crofters and the other by Icelanders.
A Pretty Wedding
A yery pretty but quiet wedding
took place in the ventral Presbyterian
church, on Wednesday, 6th inst., the
contracting parties being, Miss Jennie
McIntosh, daughter of Mrs. Agnes
McIntosh, of Lucknow, Ont., and Mr.
Orel L. Hershiser, of Bdtlaalo, N. Y.
The ceremony was performed by the
Rev. A McKay (.f Lucknow, assisted
by the Rev. Dr. McTavish, of Toronto
while the bride was given away by
the Rev. Dr. Strongman, formerly of
Lucknow. The bride was very beaut-
fully attired in silk, trimmed with
white chiffon, wore a bridal veil and
carried a bouquet of white roses. She
was assisted by her sister, Miss. Isabel
McIntosh, who was dressed in pink or-
gandy and wore a black picture hat
and carried white and pink carnations.
The groom was supported by Mr. t'►.
Bain, of Buffalo. After the ceremony
