the evidence of J. J. Gilpin in con -
conical with his witneesing a wall,
several years ago, of one Samuel Mc-
Donald, of Blanshard township,
Perth Co. The will was never regis-
tered, having fallen into the hands of
the notorious 0. S. Jones, of St.
Marys, and the people interested are
trying to establish the contents of the
missing document before the Obancery
Court, at Chatham, Dr. Woodgate
was the other witness of the will, but
he is away en Australia. Mr. Gilpin
was unable to go to Chatham on ac-
count of a sore hand, hence the visit
of the legal gentlemen. Mr. White

Orange institution of this province,
and was made quite at home with the
leading lights of the Order here.

ABOUT KEEPING BUTTER.—S01118-
thing
UTTER:Some-
thing liko a concerted arrangement
has been entered into by shopkeepers
in quite a number of towns and vill-
ages in Ontario, not to take butter
on account after November Ist each
year, but only to take it for goods
sold over the counter at the time of
delivering the butter. The reason
of this resolve is that the butter
makers in Ontario have long shown
a disposition to hold their butter in
crooks or tubs in their cellars until
far into the fall, when it has lost its
flavor, and it as besides too late in
the season to be shipped to the old
country markets.
