RiCh., G011id received quite a
shakinF, up on Tuesday last: It ap-
pears he and John Mallett, Jr., were
driving from Messrs. Ross & Taylor's
planing factory, Mr. Gould being seat-
ed on the hind bob, holding, some
short pieces of timber in one arm, and
when in front of the grist mill the
hind bob became • detatclaed. The
team going at a lively rate the bob ran
into the ditch with considerable force
and was upset on top of Mr. Gould.
-Mr. Gould finally- managed to extri-
cate himself but he sustained several
bruises and injured his arin consider-

The Rev. S.F.Robinson, Rural Dean
of Bruce, and formerly rector of Exe-

naission to change the -church at pres-
ent in West Brant, to the village of
Cargill. The present building is a brick
church, quite new and in good repair.
But since it was built the village of
Cargill has sprung into existence and
importance,but it has no place of wor-
ship within two Miles. To remedy this
Mr. Cargill, M.P., for East Bruce, of-
fers to bear half the cost of building if
tbe Church of England will remove
from its present site to that Village.
This offer the congregation accepts
and Mr. W. P. Witton, architect, of
atinipeen, hes ,enbriaittecl plans for the

ed this church, it having- been closed
by his predecessor, -the Rev. Mr. Fatt.
A very good thing came to our view
•
while we were looking out of our sanc-
tum window on Saturday last. A ba-
ker's delivery wagon halted in front
of the door and the driver sprang from

some bread and buns. The bread was
put in a basketandin handling the
buns a half a dozen happened to fall
to the ground; An ever -watchful can-
ine with his eagle -eye, happened to be

an opportunity to secure a good meal,
took ad,vantage of the situation, seiz-
ed the buns and struck off up street
with all the speed of a race horse,
leaving the baker -boy to mourn the

opportunity to get a dress suit cheap,
he sent away the money. Within a

Ito Years ola, s •
There will be few of those born after
the new century began and for some
years to come, who will be living to
see another century. There are those
again who lived in the last century
and are now enjoying life in the pres-
ent, but few, probably one in many
thousand, who can claim the distinc-
tion of having lived in three centur-
ies. Howeverethere is one instance in
this neighborhood in the person of
of Mrs. Mills, of Woodham, mother of
the St. Marys -Exeter- stage driver.
She is 115 years of age and is at, pres-
erit in remarkable good health, with
every prospect of several years to be
added tie the already large number.
Mr. N. Dyer Hurdon received a let-
ter from General Sir Redvers Buller
in answer to the one he wrote early in
May, last year, to him. In his, letter
Mr. Hurdon stated he was a Crediton
Grainmar school boy, when the Gen-
eral's father, Squire Buller, as he was
called, was President'of-the Grammar
School Board and that he remenabered
.both of them. He congratulated the
General on his magnificient career
against almost insupeyable odds, and
stated that,Exeter, Ontario, was most-
ly peopled with old Devon men, or
.their decendants, and that they felt
doubly proud to think it was a Devon-
shire General who had succeeded. The
text of the letter received by Mr. HUI,
don is as follows: -
Downes, Crediton, Devonshire.
Dec. 31 1900.
To N. Dyer Hurdon, Esq. - , •
Dgart, SIR: -You were kind enough
to write, me in June last and I certain-
ly should have answered you had 'not,
at the moment, been very busy. 'Ored-
iton Grammar school-wa,s never better
than itis at present. It has teelier 'SO
bOys and it is doing well. In 1861 I
was quartered at London, Ontario,and
drove over one dayto both Crediton
and Exeter,. in order. to write home
from those addresses, but yours isthe
first letter J have'myself received from
either of them.
With all best New Years wishes, ,
-Yours faithfully,
, RedverS Buller
Mr. Hurdon says he will treasure
this letter always. •
The Census.
The census for Canada will be taken
on Sunday, March 31st, which is the
date fixed for the -census of Great 13ri,
tain andIreland. All persons livizig
at midnight on Sunday will be count-
ed. The population will be taken by
name and according to the de , jure
system. The country is divided 'into
eeDSUS districts coinciding as far as
possible with the electoral districts,
and polling sub -divisions, according to
the boundaries adopted for the pur-
poses of the recent , general election,
are taken as units of enumeration.
One commissioner will be appointed
for each electoral district, and one ad-
ditional commissioner where -local cir-
cumstances may require his services,
such as where the distriet is extensive,
Or has a large bi-lingual population,
ofcomprises onore than one county
municipality. One en nmerator will
be elicited to each polling sub -division,
or a group of polling sub -divisions,
where the erea is small or the popula-
tion sparse as the Minister of Agri-
culture may specially direct. The
work of the enumerators will begin
.on Monday April 1 •and in the great
majority of polling sub -divisions it is
expected that it will be completed in
a fortnight. The duties of an en wrier-
ator are to visit every house and as-
certain ber careful personal inquiry
an with the utmost possible accuracy
•
an the statistical 'information with
which he is required to deal, make an
exact record thereot to be attested
under'oath, and deliver sucherecord to
the census commissioner under whose
superintendence he is placed; as well
as to aSsist the commissioner in COP-
reeting the record in the case' of any
apparent defects or inaccuracies which
may be observed in it. The remun-
eration of commissioders and enumer-
ators will be according to rates of al,
lowance to be prepared by the Minis-
ter of AgricultUre, which rates, the
census act, provides, "shall not exceed
in the aggregate the total amount of
$3 for each day' of proved effective
services for any enumerator, or $1 for -
each day of like service for any Com-
missioner" The time of service to be
allowed a commissioner will probably
not exceed six weeks ---ranging from
thr,e0 to six weeksaecording to the
extent and population of the electoral
dietriot--and the time'of anLoi. will will probably not exceed two weeks.

Farmers' institute Meetiug:-
The meeting ,f the South -Huron
Farmers' Institute was held in the
Town Hall, here, on Saturday last.
The attendance Was rather poor, con-
sidering the important nature of the
meeting. There certainly as not the in-
terest tideen in these conventions there
should be. The farmer is the back
bone of our country, and is the source
of much of the wealth and prosperity
of the land, and, any means• used for
his advancement are worthy of deep- -
est consideration. ' No other occupa-
tion will exist and flourish under such e Brari,d

haphazard conditions as farming.does,
but this is no reason why 'farming
should not be discussed or -made the
subject of conventions. It is impose;
ible for one man, and especially a far- eans S ome
Mer, to attain the greatest success in
and of himself, but by hearing and
seeing the methods znid ideas of his
neighbor, he is aided to a great extent
in securing the results, 'Which other-
wise would require life long experi-
ence on his own part. This is the im-
portant benefit to be derived from the
meetings Of the institute. They are
held at a season of the year when they
can be most conveniently attended by
the farmers and while it is impossible
to have a lecture, to which all will
readily agree, yet every lecture is in-
structive, and will at least cause an
effort on the part of the most indiffer-
ent listener. The program consisted
of addresses,which were indeed deserv-
ing of a good attendance. Dr. J. H.
Reed's talk on "Breeding horses, etc."
was very interesting and instructive
as was also that of Mrs. J. L. Smith,
on "Domestic, Econony." W. N.
Hutt, of Southend, Ind., is and always
has been a farmer, and, while in some
respects, Canadian farmers might not
Pc able to follow all his dicta tions yet
he was instructive and very helpful
on the subject of "crop failures and
how to avoid them." The usual con;
cert took place in the evening when
addresses were delivered by the same
gentlemen and Mrs. Smith, interspers-
ed by vocal selections by Messrs. Jos.
Senior and M. Vincent.

WE look on the Brand of a SLATER SHOE as a sort of protection
You never know what you are getting in a pair of COMMON SHOES nn
til you wear them. Then you probably discover you have made a bad
deal. The SLATER SHOE has a reputation and sale over Canada that
cahnot be excelled lay any other manufacturer to onr knowledge. Their
goods give always the best of satisfaction and the name SLATER being
stamped on each shoe stifficient to satfiy former customers. Others say
theirs are just as good. but don't buy a shoe until you try a SLATER
SHOE and after one purchase'you are a wearer of a SLATER forever.
A company with a reputation like the SLATER people would hardly
risk patting their brand on inferior goods. Yogi. are always sure of a
