A correspendertt from Dungannon writes: A very happy and pleasant evening was receutly spent at the residence of Matthew Foley, town- ship of Colborne, the occasion being the uniting in the bonds of matri- mony by Rev. Father West, of Goderich, William O'Brien, of Lon don, to Miss Johanna, daughter of Mr, Foley. Thele were 75 invited guests from London, Goderich, Clin- ton, Dungannon, Port Albrrt, Shep• gardton, Dunlop and Kintail present to witness the ceremony and partake THE PATRON PLATFORM. 1N ACTIVE PROVINCIAL CAMPAIGN' DECIDED ON. The annual meeting of the Patrons was held in Toronto on Wednesday night and Thursday morning of last week, all the members of' the Grand Board and a large number of the representatives of the party in Par- liament being present. An active campaign during the approaching Provincial election was decided upon. and in view of the decline in the in- terest in the organization, all present were expected to do missionary work. The policy under which the campaign is to be carried on was of the festival which was sumptuous. discussed, and the following coneius• ly prepared. The bride looked ions arrived et : ahi.rnung In her attire of cream The party disapproves of the On. .brocade trimmed with chiffon and tario Government's plan of disposing of Government house and erecting another. It disapproves of the recent ar- rangement between the Ontario Gov- ernment and the railways, and sug gests that mileage rates be paid to the railways in return for a genera'. pass, Disapproval was also expressed of tbe exemption of civil, servants from garnishee ; of civil servants entering poliths; of members of Parliament becoming civil servants during the term of office, or until one year after retirement ; and the suggestion was made that every alternate loca- tion of mining property be taken by the Goverrtn:ent. The subject of the vacation of office of Mr. Curry, Vice -President of the order, who is new a Dominion civil servant, was discussed, but no appointment will be made at present. point lace, and head dress to suit. The beautiful beide was attended by Miss Nellie Ideating, of Bay City, Miebigan, who was also gaily at- tired in white Swiss muslin, in which she appeared to good advan- tage. The bridesmaid carried in bee hand a beautiful bouquet of sweet pear. CLINTON.

It is not often that the stook is invert- torated, as such precautions are taken that it is almost impossible for any ttf it to be taken away without the loss being imtnediately detected. Tho Treasurer is required to give a large bond, and when there is a ebange in the office it is necessary to see that the funds are all right be- fore the bondsmen of the retiring official are released from liability, Just at present such an examina- tion is being made. Within iwo months, as much money has been counted as by ordinary methods would require the constant occupe. tion of one man for half a century. Not until the job is completed, and every penny accounted for, can the new Treasurer be regarded as in. full control. In the eight enormous vaults in the treasury building there should be found 8767,782,21e in cash and bonds. Of this amount, a little over $1-50,000,000 is in standard silver dollars. This part of the money is in sacks containing $1,000 eael. The sacks are placed one at a time upon a very delicate weighing ma- chine, and if the weight is exactly what it should be, the bag is re- turned to the vault without being opened. If the scales vary by the weight of a single coin the bag is opened, and the coins aril counted one by one. One of the men assisting in the present examination procured some lead disks, weighing exactly the saute as the silver dollars, and watching hie et.portanity, opened a bag and took. out ten coins, replac- ing them by the "dummy " disks. The scales showed the bag- light in weight, and when it was opened the theft was discovered. Owing to his confusion the man had slipped only nine pieces into the bag in • place of the ten coins removed. The vault containing .the silver dollars is the'largest vault in exist- ence, being 12 feet high, 51 wide, and nearly 100 long. The vault door is provided with a wonderfully delicate time lock so arranged that the bolts are withdrawn by clock work from the inside of the vault at 'a certain hour of the day only. After passing the outer door the coin cannot be rellched until the inner conhpartinent doors are opened. These inner doors are provided with a series of key locks. Ail the locks must • be released before the doors can be opened, and there as many custodians of keys as • there are locks. All the officials must there, fore be present before the inner doors are opened. With such p: eeauti )ns it seems practically impossible for anyone to rob the Government, and • when the present eoutht is completed it is con- fidently expected that the outgoing Treasurer, Mr. D. N. Morgan, will be promptly given a receipt in full for all the funds entrusted to his ellkrg,,e. Pain in the Back. Mr. M. P. Halpin, Brockville, O.1t.,. makes a statement as follows: "For two years, I. suffered from kidney trouble, caused severe pain across my back, 'dizziness, headache, sleeplessness, etc. 1 had often to lean on the counter when serving eus:.omers, so intense was the pain in my back. On taking Doan's Kidney pills I unproved from the very first, and now, after using three boxes am all right; all my pains, aches and dizziness having disappeared, thanks to Doan's Pills" A boy can sit on a sled six inches square, tied to a horse Moving eight miles an hour, but he can't sit on a sofa five minutes for a dollar.
