Glencoe Transcript: When the country papers find foreigners invad ing the field of home merchants with their goods and merchandise and sell ing them to the farmers they arise and whack the intruder and advise the farmer to buy his goods ftom the home merchant, and when foreign printing houses send their representatives among the merchants and business men, many of those very same busi- ness men give them their orders. And it is thus, in nine eases out of ten, the country printer is rewarded. The following note will be in order for all who have cared to examine the financial statement of the Public School Board for 1892, published in last week's issue. The appropriation asked by the Board for 1893, and granted by the Council in Dee,ember. was 82,500. $365.86 of the amount was used, as per statement, to meet the balance of expenses for 1892. The remainder, $2134.1.4, as certified by the Auditors lays in the hands of the treas• ur 'r to meet the expenditure of the si rent year. The secretary's salary should have read $20. Mr. John Bell one of the best known residents of Wingham, and brother of Mr. Thos. Bell, proprietor of the Wing ham furuiture factory, had his foot and lower part of the leg torn off Tuesday morning while putting a belt on its pulley, in his brother's factory. Drs. Tamlyn and Meldrum are doing their utmost to alleviate bis suffering. The doctors amputated the limb this after noon, but hold out faint hopes of re- covery. Mr. Bell was at one time one of the old stage drivers from London to Exeter, Clinton, Wingham, etc., and was well known around London.

How often we see people who place coins in their mouth which making change said, a business man Ladies often do it in my store and I wonder do they ever think where those coins have been, who has carried them, what dirty boxes and pockets they have beeu in.

Men are going through Ontario sell- ing what they call a chemical com pound to save coal. We might inform our readers that the "compound" does save coal, but perhaps not so much as these gentlemen say it will, They charge you 25 cents for about two pounds of it, but if you will taste their "chemical compound" you will find you can buy it from your grocer for about 1 cent per pound. It may be red, blue or any of the various colors of Diamond Dyes, but it , is neverthe less nothing but common salt. If you doubt that salt will save your coal, it will cost you very little to try. Throw a little dry salt on your coal fire and then mark the result. A better way is to dissolve about five pounds of salt to twenty gallons of water and throw the water on your coal "Mr. Joseph Pickard, who has occu- pied a position in the store of his broth- er, Mr. Wm.

The Ontario convention of Methodist Young People's Association will be held in Toronto on Feb. 27th and 28th and March 1st.

A man has been fined $50 in Wood- stock for selling cancerous meat and a butcher in London has been up ou. a similar charge. An exchange says: The crime is the most : serious, prob ably, outside of murder, that could • be perpetrated. rhe ' unsuspecting and innocent public are supplied with meat that is almost suis to convey to them a disease of torture and au untimely grave and the penalty is only $50. But it is murder all the same. And if one is convicted of murder the hangman's rope is brought into requisition. The law governing the sale of diseased and. cancerous meats does not meet the re- quirements of the times. Ten or twen- ty years of life imprisonment would be notie too severe for this class of crimi- nals."—' Glence Transcript: "One of our mer chants was filling'a customer's order for butter ohe day last week and had oeeasion to cut a roll.

Farmers and others who are in the habit of driving horses are prone to neglect one very important item of comfort to animals during these cold days, and that is to over the horses properly when left standing for, any length of time. Everyday instances of the kind are yisable in the village and it is no uncommon thing for a horse to remain unprotected from the cold for several hours. No man would go out in the cold without heavy cloth ing these days and he should take the same care of his horse that he does of himself. Lenten Regulations.

Generally caused by exposure to cold, wet feet, sitting in a draught, coming from hot and crowded places, in thin dress, or wearing damp clothes, stock- ings, or any other cause tending to, check suddenly the perspiration.
