Fortunately the eaves aprojected out far enough to break` the fall, nd afterthe house was raised Mr Tam- blyn crawled out, to the astonishment of all, very little the worse for the accident. Brandon ;Sun. {Mr. Terribly' is ;a former well knownrosident of Hallett.] A'N> w ORGAN,—Mr:'Doherty, deter- , -mined-always eter-,---mined-always to stand at the 'top :of ,the list in organ manufacture, is having one of an entirely netts design constructed at thefactoryhere'. • Mr. Birkeland:who is:'a practical Builder and tuner of many'years' experience, is getting up one to be known as the Arion, onentirely new principles throughout, he being the: inventor of the different improvements,; and -which have never, yet .been embodied in an omen. When the instrument readies a more ad vaned`stage, ,ve may: give a description of it: MCKtLIOP PasuetANCE COMPAsvY.- :The annual -meeting of.the directors "of the .:Mutual Fire Insurance Company, of Mc K lop, was held at Seaf,rth"last Friday, and the following, figures from the annual` report;cave been kindly; furnished- Tate urnished The total number of members. is 1 c o8an increase of 35 ; total- amount of -_property insured, ;$2,0941440 , premium notes, $55,; 631,_being an increase of $2705°39 The number,of policies insured in -1882 was 338; property insured in 1882; $429,850, Total. receipts. for 1882,;'$5,968,34 ; expenditure, $5,958 7_'; balance . onhand,- $9.61. The uncollected •notes. for this and'., previous years amounted to $406.88. DEATH pr MES. SCOTT.-- On Thugs day lase wife of Mr. John Scott died 'aftera-soniewhditlingering illness. Dur- ing her comparatively short residence here, she had made many warm friends, being of a very amiable disposition. She was a member of the Presbyterian church. Her remains were interred in Maitland Cemetery; Seafortix Her easter', Mrs. G. Duncan, died atSeafarth, on Friday last.. That two members of one family should die so close together seems singular, but it was an event which occurred once be- fore among the retell -them of' the same family.: Out Of eleven 'children,' Mr. .Jas:: Stoddart, of Egmondville, is the sole survivor. A ' MARKET. DAY. ---We believe that one of the first steps, taken 'by the new, council will, be to try: and establish a ',re- gular market day here, for the sale of such articles,of;produce as butter, eggs, poultry, &e., &c. ` An unsuccessful effort was made once before in thisconueetion, but that need be no barrier to the success of another ettemli't. It would be much" better for buyer and seller if a regular „ market day was established, but -it will take a little time to` `accomplish it, and ',should receive the cordial support of all parties:.. If people oncegot in the .habit' of buying their supplies et arnrarl et, and farmers got in- the way of attending the market regularly, they would never think of going back to the present lack of system. ANOTHER SAD DEATH. — Intelligence was receiyed here on Saturday last that Mr. Chat. Levis, late of Holmesville, had died at the hospital at Brandon of; typhoids fever. The particulars connected with his death are particularly sad, and display.a, heroism not often met with During the. summer he anthanunaber.of others from this section were living together in the eau' Apple district, when typhoidfever broke out amongst them. He acted the part of nurse, and remained withthe Sev- eral patients all through the fall, although friends entreated hinted return home. His last care was: Mr. E. Tebbutt, and after he was brought home Levis was so, bad with the fever that he was compelled' to go to' the hospital, where, death ended his• suf ferings.• Where a -man, in the prince of Eta. makes a sacrifice of himself in order tosave the lives of otbers, it is. an fact, which tarries with it the evidence of his devotion, 'and should command for him• a lasting meneoiial.ofreepect His'remains. are being brought home for interment,: although: the authorities ofBrandon would; not forward -thein until there was ,a deposit in the bank heie of $150,' to guarantee all Pope nses, MR.

Monday the 8th inst,, with a large atten- dance in each division. A 'good idea of the school population of the place may be learned by the fact..that 664 names were entered on the register for 1882, in addi- tion to thosein attendance at the High lachooland .the class taught by Mrs. Mor- gan. Too PRitveous.— The London Free Press was too smart when it said on Tues- day that the two locomotives which sus- tained considerable damage in the .recent before the ground was fit for seeding;liut accident at Hensall on the Lr, 11. & B., the farmers heel very good crops, consider_: were taken to that city on Sunday.
