seen in the chase were some, which to
the writer equelleci the famous Irish

Usborne & Hibbert Mutual Fire
Insurance Company.
The annual meeting of the Usborne &
Hibbert Mutual Fire Insurance Com-
pany, was held in the public hall, Far-
quhar, on the 3rd inst. There was a
good atteudance of tnembers and the
proceedings throughout were most har
moutons and pleasant. The President,
J. Essery, opened the meeting by ehow-
ing the large amount of business dune
during the yenr and the small expense
of management as compared with other
companies of a similar size. He con-
gratulated the compauy on this state of
affairs and hoped this healthy condition
would coutinue. The Secretary -Treas-
urer's reports were submitted and ap-
proved of. From these the following
are taken net risks on hand 31st Dec.
1895:—Policies in force 2218, covering.
risks to the amount of $3,518,516.00•
Those risks are insured by premium
notes, amounting to $105,162.75 being
an increase of 71 polices and $85,185.00
at risk over previous years. The Corn-
Deny
ompany have paid for losses of 1894, which
were unpaid 1st D•cembe:, 1894, and
for losses which occurred during 1895,
$9,22866. The assets of the company,
consisting of cash on hand, unpaid as-
sessments residue of notes amounting
in all to 882,086:49, with two claims nn •
settled at the close of the year.' The
heavy lawsuit whteh the company has
been involved in for the last two years
has been settled and all the monies de-
posited re this suit heye been refunded
to the Company, viz: $1,400,00. This
Certainly ought to be satisfactory to
the members of the company as it
shows that the company novel, was in
a more prosperous condition than at
the present time. D. Mitchell who has
.been a faithful member of the ,board
since the organization of the eornpauy,

guard well his utterances at the present time,
agitations may come and go, Parliaments

glorious institution must ever remain the
same on the Manitoba school question,there
is a very wide difference of opinions among
the very best minds in Canada, we must not

County Master's Address
To the nfficers and members of the
County Orange Lodge of South Huron.
BRN THREN,---
I feel it a great pleasure and privilege
to be permitted for the first time to deliver
this my first annual address as County
Master to the members of this large, in-
telligent and prosperous County of South
Huron.
To -day our membership from a local as
well as:national standpoint is greater than
it.ever has been in the history cf the British
Empire and South Huron has contributed
her just proportions to the general pros
pprity to our beloved institution. In the
County, during nth,- my first year of office not
only has prosperity marked the Orange Or
der; peace and pten'y and almost universal
harmony prevails. This speaks well for the
principles of Orange principles that have with
stood the test of adverse criticism for two
centuries and to -day shines more brightiy
than the new gold coin ofyesteritay, Other
Societies innumerable have come into exist-
ence, some have adopted what is claimed to
be a more aggressive, and at the same time
offensive, crusade against the Church of
Rome, some have endeavored to bring suc•
cess to their efforts through this noble in-
stitution, and even make the unwarrantable
assertion that the Loyal Orange .Institution
is not accomplishing the end for which it
wtis over two hundred years ago brought
into existence, this, I desire to say is not
warrante+t by facts, and I am sure every
brother Orangemen present will agree with
The Orange Institution is founded on the
broadest principles of .British freedom and
British liberty. We are bound not to prose-
cute any man for his conscience sake, to
maintain inviolate the constitution of the
country the supremacy of Iaw,order and con
stitutional freedom. In short, we disclaim
an intotlerant spirit, and are bound to aid
and defend all loyal subjects. of every re
ligious persuasion in all constitutional rights.
Just its long so, time lasts will the Orange
lustitutions survive.
Our foundations add principles are so
liberal minded and bead that the institu.
tion extends whercever a Protestant Briton
is to be found. I had the pleasure of at
tending the Grand Orange Lodge of British
Ameri.•a at Halifax last summer alorg with
`Past Masters Todd and Scarlett from this,
County. The brethren of this section, haye
1 must say, been favored by Providence in
almost every respect. The trip was Jong and
tedious but gives one an idea of Canada's
great resources. Halifax • is very strongly
fortified by warships and British soldiers
under the way of the Imperial authorities.
Where one of the great keys of Military de- gret.
Around About Us,

while on Main street on Tuesday after-
noon. Mr. Levis was driving toward&

in front of Diiek's hotel, attempted to
turn around. In doing so the cutter
upset, frightening the horse, while
'nada up the street at a lively pave
At the Queen's hotel it took to the side-
walk and after taking the cutter over
a pump, returned to the road, and con -

trotted into a yard, and was then cage
