On Monday the regular sittings of the 12th Division Court were held in Industry hall, Judge Doyle presiding. Several cases were brought before his Honor and disposed of. On Friday evening a benefit concert is to be held in Industry hall. As the case is a deserving one there is no doubt but the hall will be crowded to the doors. A large program has been provided for the occasion. On Monday, station agent, E. Hato. mond and wife attended the funeral in Wingham of the late Alex. Livingetone, who was killed whilst on the railway at Flensall on Saturday evening. The de. ceased was a brother to Mrs. Hammond. The bereaved onus have the sympathy of the community.

Christ church services were held on Sunday last in the parish room adjoining the rectory, which has been fitted up for holding services in until a new ohuroh is erected. A good farmer of Wallace got his man up betimes and had a load of outs cleaned up, loaded on his sleigh, and had proceed• ed on his way to market as far as Gowanstown when one of his neighbors drew his attention to the fact that it happened to be Sunday morning. Tbe error war no doubt owing to the farmer being a widower and having no one to keep track of the calendar for him. The people of Christ church, whotte building was destroyed by fire, have de. aided to rebuild next Summer, and will have all details settled in time to corn. anemia operation when the season opens The church will be built on their lot, corner of Main and Baglan streets, one of the most desirable sites in town for the purpose. It is probable that the new edi- fice will be constructed of stone and cost about 0.1500, though es yet these partici'. fare are not settled upon. A snug and well designed building will at least be put np which will be an ornament to our principal street. The ineurance on the burned church has been adjusted, The policy stood at 0050 on church, 0850 on contents, end 0100 on organ.

The gentleman who first surveyed this town came from Wingham, England, and was permitted to name the new town after his old home across the sea.

Johu Carr & Son and the Wingbatn Eleatic Light Co. have been at variance with retard to water power, Carr & Son claiming that the Light Co. had backed the water up too far on them. They re- cent.y employed a surveyor to get at the facts, and he reported that instead of go- ing beyond their limit the Light Co. bad not gone within seven inches of it. One result of the recent heavy falls of snow was to lead to the instantaneous and horrible death of brakeman Alex. Livingstone, of the G. T. Ii., Saturday night about 0:80 o'olook. Livingstone was one of the London, Huron & Bruce way freight orew, and met his death while on duty in the rafiway yards at Heneall, The accident ocourred through Livingstone mistaking, in the insufficient light, a cattle guard peeked with enow as e pert of the solid roadbed, He was as- sisting in the shunting of oars, end the work was being hurried, as the crew were a day late because of the heavy enow storms.

The Bee says —Mere or less anxiety ie fait by the Directors of the Ontario Permete' Flex Co. because of their in. ability thus far to find a market for their Sax. The American buyers don't want our Canadian flax thea year it appears, owing poeeibly to the fast that the fibre is inferior to that of other years, and es the great bulk of Canadian Sax is bought and manufactured in the States, the effect here is keenly felt. Tbe Living• stone Bros., of Baden, requested a sample of the Atwood flax some sveeks ago, pre. sumubly to forward to the Qmerioan buy. ers to judge of its quality, but since then the Directors have received no intelti. gentle. The mill will run three or four weeks longer, when it is expeoted all the raw flex will be manufactured into the marketable artiole, To do this the Com. pany will have drawn about 51,000 on their credit to pay the hands and other incidental expenees, Last year the Co. got something like 8 oents per pound for their flax, but no snob price nen reason- ably be expeoted this year, judging of the outlook at this writing. Two or three mills have sold this Winter at a reduced price. It is to be hoped that the farmere will realize 810 per ton for their flax this year, which almost exeeeds our expeota. tion. lt1ol ees-'writ.
