COM. .'ANY In another column can be found the report of the Usborne and Hibbert Fire 'insurance Company for the year 1886, `the report must be a very gratifying one to the ohrers, directors and memb- ers of the company. The company has a!' one of the most efficient and- painstak. ing set of officers as are to be found, in the Dominion, and the members can rest assured that the affairs of the com- pany will be handled in a business like way. The company is prospering from year to year, and from the report we would judge that the company is lead - fn the townships of TTsborne and Hib. Bertin the way of Fire Insurance. The Farmers cannot do better than insure in a home company like the Usborne slid Hibbert. BRITISH RETrENUE• It is estimated that the British bud- get to be submited at the neat session of Parliament, which - will open this mouth, will show a surplus for the year of between £4,000,000 and £5,000,000 sterling. The principal sources of rev- enue of the United Kingdom are Cus- toms, Excise, stamps, land tax, house duty, property, income tax, telegraphs, crown lands, post -office and interest on Suez Canal shares. The revenue re- ceived during the fiscal year 1888-89 amounted to £8S, 472,812, the largest mount from Excise, i. e., £25,600,000. The other net receipts of the year were: Customs, £20,067,000; income tax,£12,- 700,000, £12,270,000; post.office,£9;100- 000; house tax,£1, 940,000, telegraphs, £2.080,000; land tax,£1,020,000otamps in lieu of fees, £796,978; crown lands, £430400; interest on Suez Canal shar- es, etc., £240,957; miscellaneous, £2,- 227,822. The Canadian tax -payer knows nothing by experience of many of the burdens of taxation to which the people of the United Kingdon are subjected. THE LATE SENATOR MAC - DONALD. General regret was expressed in par- liamentary circles Wednesday over the announcement of the death of Senator IaeDonald,Toronto. Mr. Macdonald was a Liberal in politics, but he was not a blind, unreasonable partisan He did not regard every public man with whose views he did not agree as a fit subject for abuse and reproach. He recognized the right of every man to think for himself, to hold such political, opinions as were formed as the result of inteleetual investigation, to act with the party whose policy he believed to 15e the best in the interests of the coun- try as a whole. The generous stand he took in the House of Commons on the I4th of April, 1877, on the report of the Public Accounts Committee on the Sec- tetService Fund, when Grit malice found full play in the shafts directed' against the ex-Premier,has never been forgotten. Mr. Macdonald would not ibe a party to the dirty work in which a number of his fellow -Liberals were engaged in connection with that mat- ter. He concluded an able and broad- minded speech in these words: If it should ever happen that this country was involved in trouble, and if it ever carne about that the high,. ftfiieer leading the Government of that lay, whoever that officer might be, should find it necessrry to;come and ask the country to put at his disposal a SUM for Secret Service to secure the safety of the country, for the preven tion,.for'the detection, and for the de- feating of conspiracies, then he should be glad. that in this Legislature he has raised his voice, holding that the integ sitsa, and the honesty, andthe purity, anil the patriotism of such a . Minister. ought to be a guarantee for his right and faithful discharge of that sacred duty." Inreligious matters Mr. Maccionald's Cvnlpathies extended far beyond the limits of his own denomination,recog- ;ni.ing in all the ecclesiastical organi- sations of rganisations'of the country bodies aiming at the one common object,but in different ways. Hie munificence was unbound- ecl,and unlike some men who had been fortunate, as the result of honest in- rl•tisstry and steady perseverance, in ac- riimulating wealth, he "did good" with 2t while alive, thereby enjoying the satisfaction of conferring benefits upon lenetlty objects in his lifetime. A truer ,epitaph could not be placed upon his tomb than this: "he 14 -as a good and honorable man, a worthy citizen, a ?Kind friend, and liberal benefactor." tl 'w true the saying: "Ile lives most wtao thinks most, feels the noblest, acts tilde beast."

A grand concert was held in Clunde- boye on Friday eve, last, quite a num- ber of young people from Biddulph and Usborne attended, and took prominent parts in the programme. A number of young men from the 2nd con. of Biddulph, attended the ex- hibition of horse training by professor Brush, in Centralia, last Tuesday eve. Among those who are taking lessons are Messrs Alex. McFalls, Stewart Hod- gins, George Hodgins. uncle Bob and others. Mr. Stewart Hodgins of 2 con. • Bid- dulph, met with a very serious loss last week. Having attended his noted trot ting horse "Joe Bell," for the night,' he also retired for the night, but was great- ly surprised on entering the stable nextmorning to find that his horse. hanged himself. His loss will be heavy, having been offered and refused the sum of $750 a few days ago. Communication. TO THE EDITOR OF THE ADVOCATE. -- DEAR SIR. -Some of the people of Ex- eter are finding considerable fault with the council for granting permission to checker club to occupy one the rooms in the Town Hall, one evening in, the, week to practice the innocent and in- tellectual game of Draughts. In every community there always has been, and ever will be likely, persons of a fault finding disposition, who strain ,at a nat and swallow a camel. If " checker playing is immoral or wicked or leads to immorality, then those fault finding camel swallowers would be justified in seeking to suppress it,by throwing out the idea that checkers are immoral and wrong, involves•a great many of our very respectable residents, and people of all nations and among thenumbers, many eminent divines. Now the re- marks thrown out condemning the• council for' granting a room is tanta- mount to saying, that those who play are .wrong doers and sinners- This is a sweeping assertion, but I suppose every person has a partial hobby. For instance Dr. Talmage says, "Tobacco causes more Drunkeness than anything ease, that the use of tobacco is a social, moral, physical, mental and financial evil, and gave up his practice of using 10 cigars in making, up every sermon." The Salvation Army condemns tobacco wrong. The old Puritans forbade their' followers to use it. Pope Urban excommunicated all who used it And another old crank, says, who took the trouble to make enquiries, that the tot- als of invoices of Tobacco for 1 year within a radius of 6 miles. of Exeter' was $24,000. 'Another faultfinding Di vine would: like to know if it would not be better to employ one million preachers and one Million teachers . for the heathen instead of expending one billion of dollars on tobacco, annually as now. So we checkerists are not a- lone the victims of fault finders those, who enjoy the soothing effects,of tobac- co, can't do so without some over jeal- ous party, has got to cast up its immor- ality and wickedness, Putman Corn Extractor. Farquhar, Don't forget the Foresters concert on Friday evening 14th inst. The concert at . the Presbyterian church on Wednesday evening last was a grand success. The choir from Seaforth gave some fine selections and the solos of Mr. Hamilton and: the mus- ic of the Exeter Quartette were high- ly appreciated." The reading by Wil- liam Gilfillan was well received. All returned to their homes well pleased with the evenings entertainment, (To late for last week.) Mr. Frank Davis, of Ilderton, spent a few days with his old fri:.nds here. Mr. Simon Campbell, sold a fine en- tire colt to an American buyer for the handsome sum of $195.00; A large and well attended meeting of the Usborne and Hibbert Mutual Fire Insurence Company was held here on Monday last,and the various reports shows the company to be in goodstand- ing. All speak in the highest praise of Mr. Thomas Cameron,for the way in which he kept the books for the "com- pany, as heretofore they have goner. ally been in a very mixed up condi- tion,btt now are pronounced correct, On Sunday last as "Jr. James Ballen- tyne and family were going to church and when passing through the village, the hind axle of his baggy broke, throwing the occupants out. The horse took fright and ran away, completely demolishing the vehicle. No serious damages was done to the occupants ex- cept a good shaking tip, The Great Credit L Sale OF IMPORTED THO1IOUGHBRDI) :NOUS ZEE ii011SLS. o ---- Mr, Francis Coleman has instructed Mr. Jas Oke to sell by Public Auction on his promises Lot 4, Concession 7, Stanley, 84 miles west of Kippen station, on the London Huron and Bruce Railway, and 1 mile north of,Hillsgreen, on Tuesday, Marsh 4th, '90 The following valuable animals, viz: No. 1 -DEEPER, Vol 3,page 81, eleven3 -s. old, with foal to "The' urk" vol, 10,' No. 6351, Clydesdale Stud Book.
