Returned Home. Miss May Armstrong, who some two months ago met with a serious accident through being run over near the G.T. R. station in London, was, brought to her. home here on Saturday evening last. , For two weeks since leaving the hospital Miss Armstrong has been vis- iting at the home of her uncle, Mr. F. Friend, in London, during which time she has been 'improving rapidly and has almost regained her former health and strength. The young lady's • fath- er, Mr. I. .Armstrong, went to London Saturday morning and assisted in bringing her home in an invalid's chair. While at the London; depot a shunted car nearly struck 'the chair. An accident was averted by the father who quickly drew the chair off the track. Father or daughter tbbught. little of the escape 'until the London Advertiser came out with an exagger- ated report of the affair. Miss Arm- strong's many friends are pleased to .welcome her home again. Belated Snow Storms. On Friday last this district, and from all reports the greater part.of Ontario, was visited by a heavy fall of snow, accompanied by a cold wave and a high wind. Snow fell here to a depth of about eight inches. The Mrs. Simpson, of the Metropolitan storm commenced about nine a. m. Hotel, who has been ill for several and continued with increasing fury weeks, is still unable to leave her bed. until five p. m. when it assumed the proportions of a blizzard, remaining as such until far into the'night. It is doubtful whether a stormier night was•experienced throughout the whole of the winter. Snow shovels were in demand the next morning and the sleigh bells were heard again. By Monday evening the snow had almost entirely disappeared, leaving plenty of room for the two-inch fall of snow Monday night. Not since the year 1891 have we had such a heavy storm solate in the season.—Another blizzard struck town Tuesday evening, and al- though the fall of snow was not very heavy. it was anything but pleasant out of doors, the high wiud and low temperature being excessive to a degree. Torn—Gunn. On Wednesday .afternoon • of last. week, Dr. Percy H. Tom, son of I.P.S. John Elgin Toni, of •Goderich, and. grandson of Mr. Jaynes Tom of town, was united in marriage to Miss Mar- garet, daughter of Angus M. Gunn, of London. The ceremony took place at the family residence, 350 King street, London, and on account of recent deaths in the family•only close person- al'friei)ds and relatives of the con- tracting parties were present. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Mr. Wylie, acting pastor of •St, Andrew's Presbyterian church. The bridesmaid's were Misses Esther Gunn and Mabel Tom, sister• of the bride and groom re- spectively, and the groomsman was Mr, Ed. Newton, of Dufferin Ave. The bride was attired in a travelling snit of, gray OheviotTweed and white silk waist, and carried bridal,roses and dillies of the valley. Miss Gunn wore a pale blue lawn, trirnmedwith pretty lace, and carried pin k,carnaations, • and Miss Mabel Tom's gown was of rose colored silk, made in 1$th century style, and her bouquet was of 'pink carnations. The groom's presents to the bridesmaids were a gold pin with a, star of pearls to Miss Gunn, and a gold crescent set in pearls to. his sister, The bride's presents were exceedingly nam- erous, many of them coming from dif- ferent lif ferentparts of the. Dominion. After the ceremony and wedding supper r)r. Land Mrs. Torn took the train for G,rd-, erich, They spent Friday in Exeter as the guests of Mr. and, Mrs. Japans Tom,. and during the date the: dontor• called on many of his old friends who line of wedding llte$e at ec are. ,l , we are pleased to l�ext Mcinda , `5th t , R , S P state convalescing, To School Teachers and Trrastee$.

Young fruit trees and even older ones have suffered during the winter because of the gnawing propensities of the field mice that run around under the suow and gnaw the bark off the trees. An effectual means of prevent- ing this is to keep the snow packed around the base of the trunk. At the regular meeting of the James street league on Tuesday evening a a well -worded address and a beautiful hymn hook were presented to Miss Cora Manning on the eve of her de- parture for Manitoba.
