LAST Thursday Walter Govenlock's horse got frighteued in town and iu attempting to run away upset the cut- ter anti dict considerable damage. ONE of the most diflioult tasks iu Brussels just now is to get a house to tent. If some of our citizens erected a few neat dwelling houses they would soon hind tenants. THE remaining milk routes In con• nested with the Morris and (grey cheese factory will be let on Saturday of next week when the whey for 1885 will be sold by public auction. See advt. in this issue. IN spite of all IVO have said p eol1le continuo to send els communications without affixing Ole genuine signature of the sender.

A., preached an excellent sermon iu Melville Church last Sunday evening from the text "A pod soldier," taken from II Tim- othy, Sud chap. and 4th verse. Fre- quent reference was made to General Geedou,his eventful life and sad. death. SATVRDAY eVcning deSpi to the pier°• ing cold, the band turned out anti played the "Chrome" overture ; An. dente waltz ; "Black Diamond" gnick- stcp, awl a selection. The music (vas excellent and the fourteen melubers, led by 11. J. Whitely, deserve great Credit.

It appears to be heaps of film. No less than four large sacks and one bag came to the Brussels post office on Friday evening. This wits our first mail from the east after the storm. Oue hearty thanks aro due to nanny of our friends who, without any urg- ing, settled up old 8001408 last week and renewed their subscriptions for 1885.

Call at TILE Posy Pub- lishing House and see samples. Ax inch space in the newspaper is worth a thoueuncl miles of advertising on a board fence. It is correct for the farmers these cold flays to gather around the warm fires and read every- thing in a newspaper, and if there were signs as large as a barn door right in the midclle of the road which they travelled home, they would go around them and never give them a parting glance. AT the meetiug of cheese factory Directors held at the Totvn Hall leet Saturday the following milk routes were let :—let and 2nd cons, Grey to John Catt at 7e hills per gallon ; Srd and 4th cons Grey to Robt.

PRESENTATION.—Last Friday even- ing the members of St. John's church choir and several persons belonging to the congregation assembled at the residence of Jno. Grower for the pur- pose of attesting their recognition of Miss Grewar's services as organist for the past year and a halt'. The pros• cut consisted of a purse containing $25 and was presented by the Mom - bent, Rev, W. T. Cluii, in a kindly epoch of a few minutes. Hiss Grew- ar thanked the donors in a very ap- propriate manner. After refreshments had been dispensed the evening was spent in singing, social chat, &0. A CERTAIN young man belonging to Brussels had been in the habit of :pending his evenings at a pertain house where there were several young ladies and often he kept (ate hours. For a joke on him tbo girls wound up an alarm clock, set it for 10 o'clock and put it tender the sofa. The clock Ohl its part and startled a couple of otlior young gonte who were in the room but did not "fizz" on the person fur whom it was intended. ST. VALENTINE'S DAY.—St, Valen- tine's day, which a few years ago used to create quite a ripple of exeit1• went on its anniversary, passed al- most unnoticed on Saturday in Brus- sels, The custom of sending valen- tines is evidently fast, dying out. This year there were very few new designs offered for sale, It would be almost safe to predict that in a few years, when the present stocks have been lulloaded, valentines will become It rare Cllrmeity. ORANGE BLossoers.—Last Tuesday morning the holy bonds of \vodlock were solemnized in the Methodist Church, by tho Rev. Geo. Louuds, of 131nev,tle, between G. L, BalI, L.D.S., and Miss Ida C., only danghter of the late Chas. Sheriff, hotel well-known residents of I3russelo, iu the preemie() of a large number of our townspeople. The groomsmen were 1V, 33. Dioksou and Thos. Ball and the bridesmaids Miss R. V. Ball and Miss Minnie Moore. The bride wore a very boom. ing dress of moss green satin n101Vi11• mix, veil of tulle with wreath of orange blossoms and clematises, Tne brides- maids were very neatly dres,0(1.

The bride was made the ro- to be of scuud mind, and got along cipientetnumerous wedding presents, web with hor husband. Tint Carleton Plaoe Herald says :— "It win be remembered that h the latter part of 1884 P. DL Campbell, as agent for several fire in80rauce companies, transmitted to the Underwriters' Association a detailed statement of our means of proteotiou against fire. The questions that were to be answered wore published by the Harald at the time, In rosponso to this, the Association gave notice that the fire insurance oempanie8 would be warranted in issuing policies after Jan. 1st,1885,at a reduction from the old premiums. The rate upon first-class (store) risks in Carleton Place heretofore was $1.26 upon $100, and by reduction it is now 00 cents ; on second class risks the rate was $1.40 per 8100, and now it is 41.10. On third and fourth class risks the reduction prorate is not so great. Nattirally, where a plaoe is able to Maintain such a good system of fire protection as ours, the 10104800 men 01111 to encourage the erection of first-class buildings by discriminating against the wooden shells that are not only hazardous risks in themselves, but tend to give the whole village a lower rating. There are six grades of cities, towns, villages, etc., and Carleton Plano ranks in the fourth, oalled grade "D." The reduction that has been effected. by the purchase of theRonald engine and by the present system of protection against fire amounts to a great saving in the premiums of some of oar policy holders, In due time "bre limits"—a section in which no more wooden buildings are to be built— will doubtless be established, Canadian NOW re.

Railway traffic in the Dominion has been generally interfered with by the snowstorm of Sunday night, trains on nearly all lines being some hotire late in reaching their destina- tions, In western Ontario the trouble' is greateet, lemny trains being can• oohed, and others sUO\v-boned. Under the advice of the city soli°. icor, the action ponding against the city of St. Thomas for the reoovsry of $1,000 damages, by reason of Mrs. Jane E. Cruise having fallen over a loose plank El 14 defective sidewalk, was settled on payment by the cor- poration of $275 in full of all damages and costs. lire.
