The boy is naturally nervous and bus not yet recovered from the fright. It is not an uncommon thing for people to fall dead from such a cause, and we think the boys who frightened him should be punished for the mean trick. 90tLte1.

Howoct FAlt\tEns' MUTUAL FIRE INSUR- ANCE Costeamx.—The 22nd annual meet- ing of the members of this Cutnpany was held in the Township Hull, Gorrie, on Friday afternoon of last ,reek. From the reports submitted the following may be taken :—Itt laying before- you this 22nd annual report, your Directors can- not congratulate you as in former years on the Company's immunity from loss. During the past year certain notion of the Province suffered very severely from thunder storms and we came in for a share of the losses oortmd by lightning. Coal oil lamps have again been a fruitful source of fire waste. Other looses have occurred, the oau..e of which your Di- rectors have been unable to ascertain, bus no definite evidence has been formed to warrant a resort to litigation. Your Di• rectors found it necessary to levy the highest rate that has been required sieoe 1878. The average cost, however, each year on $1000 of insurance for the past 21i years hue been lass than that ou a blanket polioy, one of the most if not absolutely tite most liberal policy issued by any insurance Company in Ontario. Our,uew met/there who expected to be relieved of high insurance rates will no doubt feel disappointed to a oertain ex. tent, but wo a+k them not to judge too hastily. Insuranoe Companies as well as individuals must expect reverses and we only request to be judged by our past average rate and not by one particular year. Let it be remembered too that a blanket polioy paying fell amount of loss on contents and for live stock killed in the field by lightning and a polioy cover• lug stock in buildings only and paying two-thirds of loss differ very materially. The number of policies issued during the year were 878, and the number in foroe at the end of the year 2,972, insuring 94,- 409,991, being an increase of 916,981 in the amount at risk. The losses sustain- ed amount to 514,721.46. Of these the loss by lightning amounts to 56,140.46 ; ooal oil lamps, $2972 ; unknown,, $4,491 ; other causes, $1,118. The retiring Di- rectors, Jae. Edgar and Wm. Douglas were re elected. FARM FOR SALE ! The undersigned will offer for sale at the QUEEN'S HOTEL, BRIISSELS, on THURSDAY, JANUARY 81, 7895, at 2 o'clock p. in.
