The meeting closed after adopting resolutions of roniidence in the Dominion Government and in the Leader of 111e Opposition in the Local Legislature. The following rosolutione were adopt. ed :— Moved by R. L. Taylor, seconded by Dr. Chisholm that the Liberal Conserve.. timeof 11(100 Iluron desire to place on record their continued and undiminished confidence in the present Dominion Ad• ministration and the policy of protootion to national industries, that while they have unlimited faith in the system ex• amplified by the National Policy, they aro of opinion that the wisdom of the Government has boon practically illus- trated in 4he rodent reduction of the duties on coal oil and binder twine, which, while leaving those industries properly safeguarded against destruction by foreign oompetition, has removed to a certain extent a burden from a largo portion of the consuming population of the country. That while regretting the retirement of Sir John Abbott from the Leadership of the Government, they are glad to know that his mantle has fallen upon a worthy successor, in the person of Sir John Thompson, whose recognized ability and honesty of purpose as a statesman, are ample pledges to the people of this country that the success- ful administration of public) affairs, and the safety of the publio welfare are beyond question. A resolution of confidence in W. R. Meredith, Leader of the Opposition in the Legislature, was moved by W. H. Clegg, seconded by Jas. Perkins and carried unanimously. AN ANCIENT MIME, 21.1 %AIRS 01,1). Seven generetione in one family. One of the relies of the late C.V. Benson. At the residence of Rorblaud Benson, in the township of Sopbiasburgh, county of Prince Edward, may be seen au old relic in the shape of a Bible. It was printed in the holland Dutch language at Am- sterdam iu the years 1618.1010. It has beeu handed down in the Benson family for six generations, the youngest son falling heir to 14. This book is no small volume, it being 14 inohes long, 9 fnofles wide, and 0 inches thick. It has orna- mental brass corners, some of which have worn off. There has also been brass clasps, which have been broken. The board covers have been split, but have been fixed by recent generations with slabs put aoross them, which have been nailed and clinched. The leaves of the book have turned quite brown with age. The book contains an Index, the Old Testament, Apocrypha, Concordance and Now Testament. The 'chapters are numbered by using the Roman numerals, the Dntoh style of letters being used. The verses are numbered by English figures. There are several mope, most of them torn, and several leaves bdth in the front and back of the book are gone. There are no autographs written by any of the former generations, or if there has been they have been torn out. On a whole it shows its antiquity. As for the book being in the Benson family for '7 generations, Matthew Belson, it U. E. Loyalist, canto from the II. S. about the year 1783 and settled in Prince Edward Co. He was a Dutchman and could read this Bible, and he said he was the third generation of youngest sons that the book had been handed down lo, which would mean that he woe the fourth generation that had had this book. Tho boob has probably come to America shortly after it was printed, for the Dutch portion of America was given to England in a treaty of peace between England end Rolland, 1870. After this the Dutch would not be so likely to come to Amerioa. It evidently stayed in the United States for a hundred years or more, and then came with Matthew Benson to Canada about the year 1783. Matthew Benson's youngest sons were twins, namely Richard and John 33e» - eon. The Bible after Matthew's death was disputed as to the owner, and some. times it was in 0110 fatally and sometimes in the other. It teas taken from John Bonson's family and given to W. H. Benson, the youngest son of Richard Bausou, lie by moving about the country, the book got ill sh angeve bands. Portland Benson, grandson of John Bow son, found the book end pueohasod it book into John Benson's family from Rev. W. D. P. Wilson. Portland Boneon is the youngest son of the lata 0. V. Benson, The Biblo'e lineage would be, Matblew Benson, a U. E. Loyalist, was the third generation oe youngest sons, fourth generation that had possessed the boort, John Benaon, his youngest son, Cornelius V. Benson, his second eon, Portland Benson, his youngest son, John Benson's youngest son was Richard Batson, who died in his youth. Held. Maud Benson was the- next y01111004, and hie youngest sus le Arkla»d Belson, 10, 1893 1110 eighths' heir. He at present ie iu Australia, too far away to lay any Maim to the book. Thie Bible is truly an ancient ratio, its equal would be heard to find in this new country. In olden time tllinge wore made substantial, so as to last for ages, and prized for their age, but 41116 new country and these last generations have too mush love for change, and s greater desire for things that are now, to preserve anything that is old. And their 1,0 think that It hoe been for seven generations in dine family chows that for this length of then they have been true converts to the Christian faith, if not always a true follower of Christ. It also shows that they have been true to their prinoiples, in as much as, Ieaving their ancient home, Holland, for America, and again leaving the United Statue for Canada, simply for their love of true priuoiplee. What greater evidooe could wo ask for their love of truth, which was taught in the book they preserved and cherished. (::i.(L.L(I) 1L1L N o vvee.

When Mies Piggot, of the 9111 con. , East Zorra, and her sister were driving home from Woodstock the other day, and while passing a load of woad their cutter upset iu the deep snow and she was thrown against the sleigh. One of her ears were out off, A. little boy, son of Hugh Hamilton, of .Hibbert, was playing with a cent in his mouth the other day, when it aoaideatal- ly slipped down his throat. The coin had been filed down 00 about the size of a ten -cent piece and it is not thought there will be much trouble in the mat- ter. There is a good deal of poverty in Dart- mouth, N. S., this winter. A good many applications have been made to the over- seers of the poor for relief, and the funds of °heritable institutions aro exhausted. Quite a number of laboring men cannot get work and cannot maintain their families. The 3•year-old son of Mr. Cassidy, Wyoming, accidentally fell into a tub of boiling water the other day. The mother being out of doors at the time heard the wild cries of her clhild and ran to his respite and upon removing the steaming clothes the tender skin of the poor child dropped in one cluster to the floor. The little sufferer lingered four days in um told pain, when death carne to his re- lief.

While two sons of Henry Cook, of East Selkirk, Mau., were playing up. stairs, one of them, 7 years old, twisted a clothes line that was hanging from the oeiling around his neck and got on the cradle and jumped off.

When the mother went up stairs her son was hanging lifeless from the ceiling. Daniel Mcf\iiohml, the venerable police officer of Markham village, and his wife died within a few hours of each other. The other evening, while seated at the tea table, Mr. MaMiobmi was suddenly stricken with paralysis and and fell book unoonecioue. Eight hours later Mrs. MaMioloml, who had been suffering from a nervous complaint, suddenly expired, the direct cause being+ the bursting of a blood vessel in the brain. Mr. Mc- Michael lingered for bwentyfour hours, when lee passed away, not having learned that hie wife had gone before him. Hon, David Mills is not anything if he is not sincere in his publio utterances. Following is one of the Hon. David's many good sayings :—"Each year every local paper gives from 5500 to 55,000 in free linea for the benefit of the oon. inanity. No other agency oon or will do this. The editor, hi proportion to hie means, hoes more for his town than any other ten non. and in all fairness, man With man, be ought to be supported, be- muse a local paper is the hest invest. neat it community can make. 11 may nob be wombed with great facts, but finanoielly it is more of -n benefit, than both a preacher and a tea°hoe.

Tho lnoomobivee were named the Stanton and the Albfon ; they wore built in England, the ono in 18118 and the other in 1864, The odd feature about one of thein was that the fireman and the driver nroupied separate °robs, tet either and of tho engine. The propelling palm of these locomotives would be lase than one tenth of the power exerted by the locomotive of today.
