A HEAVY EXPENSE. -The exterm-

promises to be a very exprufiive busi-
ness. Over a year ago the sura of $6000
was voted for the purpose. but the ex-
penditure has exceeded that amount
be nearly $13,000. The Minister of
Agriculture this session will be obliged
to ask for a vote to cover the excess of
expenditure in 1898, and a further sum
to contr'ue the work during the pre-
sent year. The hill which Mr. Dryden
will shortly introduce, provides, it is
said, for a careful inspectiou of all
nurseries and nursery stock in Ont-
ario.

Mrs. Nichol is a daughter of Mr. Jas.

"Tire sudden death of Mr. E. Nichol,
of the firm of E. Nichol & Son, general
merchants, lumber and grain dealers.
of l;oissevain, Manitoba, on Monday
evening, January 23rd. came as a great
hock, not only to his wife and family,'
but to the whole community, where
he was so long and favorably known.
Until the time of his death, Mr. Nichol
had always enjoyed good health, when
he was suddenly stricken with
apoplexy and lived but a short time.

DEATH OE MRS. VE IR .—Mrs. Mary
J. Verity, widow of the late W. H.
Verity, of Brantford, passed away
early Friday morning, after a lengthy
illness. The deceased lady was widely
known and highly respected. She was
in her 68th year. She leaves a- large
fancily, among whom are : Mrs. George
Southcott, Toronto ; Robert H. Verity,
general manager of the Verity Plow
Works Mrs. George Banton, Brant-
ford Mrs: T.B. Carling, Exeter ; Mrs.
(Rev) D. W. Ramsay, Ottawa ; Mrs.
R. E. Pickard, Exeter ;• William J.
Verity, vice-president Verity Plow
Works; Mrs. R. E. Gundy, Ridgetown;
Percy E. Verity, Verity Plow Works ;
Mrs. (Prof.) Braun, Chicago, and Mrs.
Fred Burnett, of Brantford. Mrs.
Verity had been in poor health for
three years, but of late had been
rapidly failing. Heart trouble follow-
ed dropsy, and the complication
proved fatal, to the sorrow ofher
family. Mrs. Verity was a former
resident of Exeter, her husband hav-
ing many years ago laid the foundat-
ion here of the Verity Plow Works,
now one of the chief industries of
Ontario. ' She was always a leading
church worker, and her death is re-
gretted by a very large circle of friends
in Exeter.
Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Grieve were in

Mr. and Mrs. B. S. O'Neil one day
last week attended the golden wedding
of Mr. and Mrs.R. H. O'Neil, of Lucan,
Mr. O'Neil's parents. The members
of the family. the grand -children and
a number of friends were present. Mr.
and Mrs. O'Neil are highly respected
residents of Lucan, and we join a large
circle of friendsi wishing n w hrng them many
years of health and happiness. Since
the festive occasion above referred to
Mr. and bins. O'Neil have both been
taken down with a serious attack of
la grippe.
Quite a number of complaints from
different parts of the country are made
of recent postal changes that have
injured the position of the country
postmaster. For instance, before the
postal notes came in, people who had
money to forward by letter sent even
bills and the odd amount in postage
stamps. In the course of business the
country postmaster sold a consider-
able amount of stamps in this way,
and as the small salary allowed him et
based partly on the sale of stamps he
th t
wasa mac benefited h b iI flted bYit As the
oer
v
G nmen t now refuses to redeem
postage stamps they are not being
sent through the nails, and the post-
master, by not haying the sale of these
stamps, and the substitution of postal
notes for money orders, are against
the postmaster, and make the little
money he gets out of it still less.
There appears to be a general feel-
ingthat thePoetmaster•General should
tae some means to increase the num-
ber of offices issuing postal notes.
This is an easy way of transmitting
ni:Oneyy, andthe nurnber of offices
Where these notes could be obtained
ought to be greatly extended.
