The burglars all escaped after •kexchangeof shots and were lordedto leave IIM60 in the till. About 11 o'clock Maoiger William Paget, of the local Bank of (bmmserce, who tuoms in the same block in which the poswmu i s situated, was awakened by an explosion. On look- ing out of bis window be saw the three men through the window ot the poet - office below. Mr. Paget rushed bark, and, securing his revolver. opened die from his bedroom window. 011e of the robbers returned the fire, while the two wen got more nitro-glycerine readyand in a few wiuutes. there was anotr explorioo. Mr. Paget ceased firing for a few minutes, while he rushed back to arouse Mr. Saxon, who also had rooms In the building. Mr. Saxon also bad a revolver, and burned back to Mr. Paget's room. They were just in time to bear a third explosion, and then opened fire. Again one of the safe- crackers returned it. The noise of the shooting aroused Mr. Hitt, wbo keeps a hotel across the street, and as soon as he took in the situation he secured a gun and commenced firing on the crackdown. Tbe combined 1usilade was too much for the burgulars, and putting out all lights they beat • speedy re- treat. The dashes from electric dash - lights they carried could be seen sev- eral times as they made their way eastward, but they were soon lost in the darkness. Tbe men, it is believed, had a horse or pair of horses hidden somewhere just outside the town, and made for their buggy and drove away. There is no doubt they are the sante parties who operated in Brussels on Wedne•fdav night The police are working on the case and as they have an excellent descrip- tion of the men and many clues they expect to run the gang down shortly. When Postmaster Brown wap aroused and an examination of the office made it was found that the door had been almost completely blown off the vault. Had the burglars tad another five minutes they would have secured the till, containing $250 in Dash, and many valuable papers. It was found that they had gained en- trance to the postofflce by breaking a pane of glass in the front door with a stone wrapped up in a bag. The bag bore the name of Darling Bros., ot Exeter. All about the place there were traces of nitro-glycerine and fuses which indicated that the men were not amateurs. The police were notified, and as quickly as possible warned till the towns in the neighborhood to keep a sharp lookout for the men. The Lon- don police were also notified to watch all trains It was found out later that the men had broken into Morlock's blacksmith shop and taken some tools.

At the appointed hour, precisely 10.30 a. m.. while Miss Celina Durand was playing the wedding march, four little grandchildren matched the grand- parents into the parlor, where the family and guests were in waiting. After the music had subsided Paul Durand, of Forks, Minn., stepped for- ward and made an eppropriete speech, after which U. De Lafra►uer, of Strat- ford, son-in-Isw, in a nicely worded speech presented the parents with a large assortment of furniture on be- half of the family, and Mrs. 0. De La - teenier, the oldest daughter, presented them with a well-filled purse of gold. Mrs. Durand acknowledged the sur- prise which had been prepared for them by thanking them on behalf of herself and her 'unbend, after which Joe. De Lafrauier, grandson, of Strat- ford, "ung a solo, "The Harbor of Love.' and all present joined in and sang, "Silver Threads Among the Gold." After this all marched to the dining -room, which had been decor- ated for the occasion, where a grand wedding dinner had been prepared by the two youngest daughters, Mies Celina, at home, and Miss Ida, of Goderich. Tables had been set ter forty. After dinner all joined in games, dancing and speech -making until the wee hours of the morning. Mr. and Mrs Durand have lived on the same farm for fifty years.

This is a very particular job, and owners of orckeards should look to what kind of work hoe been done by many of the self-styled pruners, before engaging one of them. Orchards have been ruined by orchard dashers who rare for nothing but so much a tree. In unsay canes the very exist- ence of the tree is destroyed, by the ignnraut way that range limbs are cut off. Long bare trucks and limb-, with a few fruit -bearing branches at the extremity, where a twenty -foot ladder could not reach them, should not be tolerated. The modern method of pruning is to keep the head of the tree as near the ground as possible. Thin out all dead branches, and many of the beating ones too, to let air and sunshine amongst the fruit Fill up the centre where long bare branches exist, by letting some of the sprouts. grow into new branches, which by proper pruning will make good bear- ing sprouts nearer the ground, in a short time.

Grow only good apples. it is as easy to grow good apples as poor ones. Good ones are always salable. Poor ones are always a harbor for insect pest. end fungus diseases, and never salable. In planting a new ,orchard try w dezide what you want before ordering trees. Choose young trees if they can be got. Some are sold that are not worth planting. Large trees whose roots are too Large and bave been broken off in digging, or cut oft afterwards for ease of packing, are never safe.

Sir John Murray hub offered to make a study of life in the Great Lakes and the bottom characteristics generally of these great bodies of water. He pro- poses to bring out his deep sea ex- ploring vessel and to co-operate with the Dominion Biological Board. Sir Juhu Murray was born at Co- bourg. Ontario, and obtained hie earlier education in London and U.i• bolo g. Today he is recognized as 1.0. world'. greatest oceanographer at•d has been decorated by almost every country in Europe. He was one ut the naturalists un the famous Chal- lenger expedition, where a warship was sent out by the British Govern- ment, and spent many years explor- ing the depths of the ocean. 8ir John Murray prepared the report of that expedition, which was published and made fifty large volumes He hes published many other books on Fob merged life and only last year con- ducted an expedition at his own sr- pense. His researches have not confined to the ocean, for he has pub- lished works on the Scottish lochs.

Martin Burrell, Minister ot Ag- ticulture, presented to the House of Commons on Friday night his resolu- tion authorising expenditure of $10,- 000,000 during the next ten years for the purpose of aiding and advancing the farming industry of Canada by Instruction 10 akrfculttfie, including the work carried on by veterinary col- leges. The resolution was adopted without dissent, and the bill founded hpon the resolution was Introduced And read the tint time. In reply to a question Mr. Burrell paid that he was unable to say when he would move the second reading of the bill. The keynote of Hon. Mr. Burrell's 'Meech In proposing the grant W5. the 'serious problem presented by the growth of Canadian cities and the 1n- creased cost of living. The urban Population of Eastern Canada during the put ten years had increased 48 Per cent., while the rural population showed a slight decrease. In the west tuna population had greatly increased through Immigration and homestead- ing, but not so rapidly ' as the urban population. It was moat important that the lot of the farmer be improved This could only be done, in the minis- ter's opinion, by teaching him the true science of agriculture. Aid to the far pier should therefore be extended to him by stimulating educational work. How It Works Out It was not the intention of the gov- ernment to distribute $1,000,000 per Year. The grant for the first year would be $700,000 and would increase by $100,000 per year, the purpose be- 'Mg Under to expend $10,000,000 in ten years. this scheme Ontario for the tat year would receive $196,733, with annual increase of $36,147, until the maximum annual grant of $336,- 119 was reached. The Provinces will share, on the basis of population, as follows: - Yearly 1913 Increase $917.23 !Ontario $196,733.32 $36,147 $336,319.98 rebec. 169,482.40 27,896 271,068.32 R. 1a.. 26,629.85 1,306 31,763.72 Brun. 44,609.93 4,902 64,117.87 Berta. 46,094.95 6,219 66,970.91 an..... 61,730.05 6,346 77,114.09 k.... 64,296.29 6,869 81,733.22 Col.. 47,834.76 6,467 69,202.67 Scotia 64,288.45 6,858 81,719.21 Discussed Bank Act Hon. W. T. White's b111. provldtng for the decennial revision of the Bank ;Act, was under heavy fire in the House last week. Mr. Duncan Ross, Liberal member for Middlesex, and Major Sam Sharpe, Conservative member for North Ontario, earnestly supported the proposition put forth by W. F. Maclean, South York. that the entire 'subject of banking and currency should be investigated by a monetary com- mission, to be created by parliament. Mr. Maclean suggested that the pre- sent charters of the banks be extended for two years. instead of ten years. with a view to the recasting of our banking and currency laws upon the coming In of a report from the mone- tary commission. Opposes Public Inspection Hon. Mr. White, in moving the second reading of his bill, eulogized the Bank Act as it now stands, and frankly in- dicated that it stood in little need of any amendment. He was unalterably opposed to the public inspection of banks, or to any increase In the money of the country by the issue of Domin- ion notes against a gold reserve of less than 10e per cent. He was fol- lowed by Mr. A. K. Maclean, Liberal member for Halifax, who was no less eulogistic of the chartered banks and the present Rank Act W. F. Maclean really opened the de- bate by declaring that there were rnany grave defects in the present Bank Act, none 01 which were reme- died by the hill before Parliament He pointed nut that depositors were not sufficiently protected, that no pub - 11c Inspection le provided tor, and that no attempt was made to prevent bank mergers or the formation of a money trust.
