A. Fire occured at Brucefield,
Jany, 15, consumed the large new
grist miff owned by Mr. Smith,
together with a quantity of grist.
Had it not been snowing heavily at
the time the fire was raging it
would no doubt have destroyed
the saw mill, warehouse, and a
large quantity of cordwood. The
•origin ofthe fire is unknown, as it
started in the upper story of the
building. The building is said to
be insured.
Mrs. William Hilliard, of Bran
don, Manitoba (formerly of Coder-
.ich, where her husband of one -time
owned the Piper flouring mill) is
confined in the county jail there as a
lunatic, and the Suit of that town
asks if she is insane, and adds :—
“There is no doubt liut that the
woman is weak minded, ana it is
quite apparent nothing has been
done at home to help this ailment.
: In conversation with -the lady she
speaks quite sensibly and rationally
on most subjects until it comes down
to. domestic matters, and she then
converses rather incoherently, 'shows
that domestic cares and differences
in the family have had considerable/
to do with her troubled.”
Sittin’ Up O’ NiGirfe.—In olden
times it was customary for young
folks to do. ■.their courting after the
old folks were in the jitnil of nod.
In these times the genteel young
umn has to be more careful. The
other night, after the old folks had
retired in their cottage in town, aud
tlje-young gent and .lady had just
. completed' about thirty minutes of
convivial bliss, when/the “boss’
•appeared on the scene, dressed in
“skeleton robes^” and demanded a
retreat. The retreat • was . hastily*
made, but then you know the times
are changed from the good old days
of youth in- th is .^particular case.
Qut?ry—-was it for the sake of-tlfe
gent, lady,.coal oil or woo<], that
the feelings were aroused off this
one-time youthful and .jovial court*

distortions aiid perversions, not that
it perverted what it liaffalready pub

now Mr. Nesbitt personally informs

Unsought Honor — A well
known retired farmer citizen of
Clinton who attended the great Con
servative convention ayd banquet m
Toronto last month had uonom
thrust upon him while there. And
it must be admitted he bo e th* m
,meekly yet with becoming dignity
Sitting Jh the reading rpom of the
hotel, becomingly dressed, his hands
resting upon the. head%f his sul*
stantial walking stick, a strappii g
six-footer from the ‘Saugeen D t iff
came in and, his eyes catching thw,
grey*bearded Clinton gentleman re
ferred to; he approached him and
with a heartiness/auu suavity winch
only an Inverness man can assume
extended his hand to our Clint n
friend, with the remark: “How are
you Senator . The gentlemen ad*»
dresssd was for the uioment taken
aback,'.but when the greeting. was
repeated io this form ; • “How are
you- 'Semator MacPherson?” our
friend tumbled . to the racket, and-
the reciprocal hand-shaking that
resulted wot!Id have largely discount
ed the most lusty efforts at.coaxing
water from a well by the munipul.-
.tion of a pump-handle iii a. dry spell.
“Yes, Senator," said the six-footer,
“I voted for you in. the old Sum gem 1
Division,and we fetched you through
albrigiit.’’ The “Senator”, kept ut
the'delusion, and the constituent
departed highly pl eased-with having
for the first time shaken liands'with
his old time m.emner', .aiijd; proinwing
that if the Senator ever ivan ed votes
again iq Briiqe he could always rely
upon Sandy—;-----for one nd upon
his six sons for many more.

One of the notable oocurrances of
the holidays was the marriage of Miss
Anna, daughter of Mr. James Mfthaf.
fey, J. P., of the Port Albert mills, to,
George, son of Air, Wm. Doughertj*,
of the lake shore road, near Shep
pardton. [Ab an.old friend of the
family of Mr. Dougherty, and, shall
we say of M. Mahaffey, we wish thb
days of the happy'young couple may
be long in the land and their path
way, through life strewn with a pro-
fusion of such btesSingb as make life
worth living.—Ed.J
The return of Anthony Alien as
deputy reeve by the magnificent
majority of 193 w»3 a scathing rebuke
to a few sore heads in the township.
But it is top bad that the township
was put to. a great deal of expense to
gratify the whim of Mr. Gledhilland
a small clique of the electors. The
reeve and all the councillors were
eleoted by acclamation, and though.
Mr; Allen is as. useful" a represen
tative as the township ever nad he
must be singled out for persection,
It would be bard to give any well
define^: reason for opposing Mr, Allen.
The overweening ambition of' Mr
Gledhill’ had to be gratified, I sup
pose, and that at the public expense.
This Beems the only reason. About
300 electors turn.ed- out to vote.
Their time would on the average be
. worth $1 per day.. Here we have a
loss of'$300 to the people of 0 the
township, besides-.the expense of
printing; and ballots, and deputy
returningofficeyayetc. Surely this is’
.too- much to pav to gratify .the spile
or vanity of Mr /Gledhill. - When no
fault could reasonably be found with
, Mr. Allen, and the balance of the
council were allowed to go in by ac
clamation, I repeat that the expense
the people were put to in. this case
was an unpardonable folly, almost
amounting to a crime, and could only
have been prompted by .the meanes t
motives, . . .
