Rev. M. Mason, Congregational
minister, here, returned home last i
Friday from atwo weeks visit with 1 1
friends in Stratford.
The lecture given by Rev. Mr.l 1
Jansen, of Durham, on "Life in Rol...,
land" in the interests of the Ford -1
with Presbyterian church was a 1 i
decided success as far as numbers
was concerned. The lecture was !,
both interesting and . instructive and l
well worth hearing. A free will t
offering wes taken up during the ,
lecture in aid of the building fund.
Pitch holes are in abundance on
the roads running north and south
from our villages making teaming
and driving both disagreeable and
dangerous. Complaints are numer-
ous and considerable fault is being
found with pathmasters for not hav-
ing the holes on their respective beat
cut down. The roads could be
levelled down for much less than the
cost of one accident. They would
be doing the ratepayers and them-
selves a good turn by attending to
the matter at once.
Mr. Keine, private banker here,
has finally made an assignment to
Mr. Henry Sanderson, for the bene-
fit of his creditors.. Although pay-
ment at this bank has been suspend-
ed for six months or more, the assign-
ment was withheld awaiting the un-
animous agreement of the depositors
regarding an extension of time. The
creditors failed to come to a mvtual
agreement on the matter, and ac-
cordingly the assignment had to be
made. It is not yet known what the
estate will pay as a statement has
not yet been made.
Mr. Dave Bremner is nursing a
sore toe. •
On Saturday night, a heavy thaw
set in, and continued through Sun-
day.
Mr, Frank Keefer is about to
remove from here to a farm near
Formosa.
The mail was cancelled a few
days last week, owing to the block-
ado of the roads.
The chopping mill has been closed
this week owing to serious breakages
in the machinery.
Mr, John Lamonby has the brick
on the ground to completely brick
his hotel, next summer.. •
Mr. Jas. Gallagher, of this place,
has purchased the hotel, lately occu-
pied by Mr. Haskett, of Lakelet, and
will soon take possession.
Miss Elsie Irwin, youngest daugh-
ter of Mr. Wm. Irwin of this place,
is at present in a very critical condi-
tion. The malady is neuralgia of
the heart, and her life is, we; are
sorry to say, despaired of.
On Friday, 'Feb. 21st, about 25
lusty young fellows assembled in the
bush of Mr. Joseph Hall, and made
the woods resound to axe and saw.
When they halted at nightfall, they
had some 25 or 30 cords of wood, as
a result of their day's work. While
the men were busy in the bush, the
women of the neighborhood were
busy ply ing needle and thread iu
the house, and Mrs. P1all has now
a couple more quilts to keep out the
cold on winter nights.
On Wednesday, of last week,'a
rather serious accident happened to
Mr. John Copeland. He was engag-
ed in helping Mr. D. H. Marshall in
getting out sawlogs, along with Air.
John Mulvey. Mr. Copeland had
occasion to pass behind Mr. Mulvey's
team. While doing so he slipped,
and it is said he caught hold of one
of the horses tails in order to support
himself. This frightened the animal

Whenever the body has been weak-

"Abont two years ago I suffered with a
very severe attack of inflammation of the

in a very weak and nervous condition, and
suffered intensely with neuralgia pains in
my head, which caused loss of sleep, and
having no appetite, I
Became Vary Shin

used Hood's Sarsaparilla with great bene-

Continued light receipts, both of
cattle and small meats and a slow
demand, seem to be the order of
affairs in live stock circles just at
present. Most of the cattle purchas-
ed on export account are shipped
direct from the country places where
they are bought. Consequently the
only demand at the Markets here is
for local requirements. The demand
