After regaling themselves on turkey and plum pudding and other good things too numerous to mention, the company settled down for a good chat, and many ivaidents were recalled of life in the early days of the settlement, and the evening passed away in this pleasant manner. After twelve o'olook refresh- ments were again found necessary and ,wers partaken of with a zest which can only,ba acquired by a long residence in Manitoba. The party ooutinued to eo• joy themselves until an early hong, when they dispersed with a general old time hand shake, all wishing. Mr. and Mrs. Forbes prosperity in their new home. Mrs. Forbes was the recipient of many valuable prevents from those present, her former neighbors expressing the regret they felt at her departure in asubstantial way. Their removal to Holland will be generally regretted as their long resi- dence, being among the first settlers, and the kindness they have shown to those who okme in their way, bas endeared them to all I.s'Ts sosiD FOn LAST wsl•:lr, Miss Humphries, of Walton, is visiting at Peter Oantelon's, 6th line.

Chiu Gan. Tam STonu —The London Free Press of Tuesday says :—On the Bruce anal Stratford lines the snow seriously inter- fered with the schedule, and rhe dorm trains from both planes were about an hoar behind. The Bruce had a particu- larly hard time of it, and when it pulled into the depot here it looked as though, the engine had boon through "a wild Western blizzard.' The head light was broken off, and the engine cab was cover- ed with snow. The windows were com- pletely frozen op, and one on the driver's side had to be braced up with a plank to prevent it being crushed it. The engine. proper was covered with ice nod snow, and heavy ioioles hung from the tops or the ooaohbs. The driver and fireman were nearly frozen, their overalls and gingham coats being covered with ..iso. But they took their lot good naturedty. and were glad it was no %'area. "You can sand another nen out on my trip this afternoon,” said the fireman of the Bruce to the otlioial in Locomotive ['ore- mes, MoHettie's offlue. "All right," was the reply, " xuess yon had a rough times of it coming down this rwrrning,' "Yes, we did, I'm going to lay off to -day to try and get thawed out," and he headed for- borne. orborne. Steam snow ploughs have been busy at work the hast forty-eight boors trying to olear the tracks for the twitter trains, and they have bean for the most part euooeesful. In many places, though, the snow is packed into the outs so solid- ly that it is almost as solid us a but of ion, and it requires a lob of pressure from behind to fore the plow through. At. Clinton Monday one of the Omuta on the Buffalo & Goderlah got stuck, and in, trying to extricate it and clear th•, road it and the engine left the rails and wore- dnmped into the ditch. Five to somotives were aeoured to try and rail them agnin, and was only with the greatest diffi- culty that they ssceeeded. Nobody was' hurt, but the engine. was uonsiderablsy method.
