weekly edition) issued at London and
Toronto.
The Toronto Horning Advert cr will
commence its career as a readable thirty
two column paper. The publishers do
ff not propose to overwhelm themselves at
the outset in a sea of unnecessary ex-
pense, but to commence prudently, and
enlarge as fast as may be deemed neces-
sary, at the same time taking care togi•ve
the public more than the worth: of their
money from the start. With the re-
sources at their control, and the promises
of assistance and support tendered, the
pabliehers have no fear that their enter-
prise will go unrewarded. They are
happy to announce in this connectionthat
the able editorial services of Mr. C. Ty-
ner, at present of the Hamilton Times,
have been secured. Politically the pub-
lishers have no' new departure to an-
nounce. While maintaining their atti-
tude as outspoken and indepeadent jour-
nalists, they will, in the future, as in the
past, be staunchly and progressively Lib-
eral ie. their views and utterances, and
continue to extend a cordial support to
the Administrations respectively of Mr.
Mackenzieend Mr. Mowat. The first
issue of the Toronto _Morning Advertiser
will make its appearance about the mid-
dle of next month."
[ED. NOTE.—It is rumored, whether
correctly- or not we cannot say, that the
Toronto Advertiser will be the organ of
Hon. Mr. Blake, and that it will advo-
cate
the several measures which he
advocated in his celebrated speech 'of
some weeks ago, and which were not
favorably received by the Globe. Be
thie as it may, we wish the new journal
success, and although the venture is a
daring one, we believe it will succeed.]

Miscellaneous. -
A guest at a hotel in Lewiston, Me.,
fearful of thieves, placed his money in
the toe of his boot, and afterwards.
forgetful,placed his boots outside to. be
blacked. It may seem strange but he
got that money again at the office.
Prof. Chevalier reports the case of a
young man who laid a wager that he
would smoke twelve cigars. He felt de-
ciledly uncomfortable at the end of the
eighth, andwhenhe had finished the ninth
he was attaekeej,by giddiness and shiver -
Ings. These symptoms became worse
after the tenth cigar. He reused to,
leave off smoking, but went home in
charge of some friends. He was then
attacked by severe pain, and a medical
man was called in, who could not, how -
:ever, stop the progress of the attack, and
the patient died in the night.
A Western girl tells this story at the
expense of her faithful teacher : He
called lately to see that young lady, to
whom he was engaged, and upon the
servant answering the bell asked, " Is
Miss io, and if so, why ? Is she
engaged, and how ? Then he went in,
and: the little tattle -tale, listening at the
keyhole, heard him say, " My ,darling,.
do you love me ? If not, why not !"
After a while—" -Give a synopsis of your
employment during the week. Analyze
thoroughly and completely the state of
y-onr sentiments toward me." When he
left, after kissing her, he remarked. "Be
prepared on next - Sunday at half -past
two P. M. to state, accurately and con-
cisely, when, where, and by whom, and
under what circumstances our marriage.
shall be performed." The Chicago Tribune relates : A gen-
tlenan sent the Tribune yesterday the
manuserip= t of an address he is to deliver
next week. The speech contains forty-
two pages. On reaching page twenty-
seven, the reporter detailed to copy it
found the following passage : " But 1
must close. [No, no. Go on, etc.]
Then if your will bear with me a few
eatte moments longer, I shall proceed to invite
your attention, eta
A tall, youthful looking countryman
paid his first visit to Baltimore a few
daysago, and invited a lady acquain-
tance to visit a theatre with him. The
lady accepted the Invitation, and the
young man, following the crowd, walked
up to the ticket- office, laid down a fifty
cent note for his ticket, and turning to
his companion said to her, `` the price is
fifty cents." The Indy happening to
have her portmanteau with her, and ap-
preciating thesituation, drew from it a
fifty cent note, and her gallant com-
panion passed itin with his money, acid
obtaining two tickets, handed one of
them to her, which she quietly accepted,
and passed in aftpr her :aural beau.

During the night of a recent
t
says, as a lady was turning the corner of
0 and Union streets, her false teeth blew
out and went clattering along the side-
walk. She gave chase, but unfortunate-
ly for her, a black -and tabu dog that had
' been trained to play with a ball, observ-
ed- the occurrence andalso -gave chase,
thinking it was a game. The poor lady
shouted lustily at the dog and charged
upon him with her umbrella, but he got
the teeth and, broke into a chop house
with them, where he had them choked
out of his mouth. The lady went off
with: her teeth_ inher hand, having
never cracked a smile during the whole
performance.
I know of no name in history with
which Brigham Young is parallel. I see
in hurl the unyielding,' ambitious will of
Richelieu, without hisgenius, statesman-
ship and acquirements. 1 can find in
him the religious enthusiasm of Crom-
well, without his personal bravery. He
has the fatalism of Napoleon, without his
commanding will.—Mfr's---.Stenhouse, Re-

Daniel Mossart, the well-known watch
inventor, has just been taken to the in-
sane asylum at Kalamazoo, Mich., He
hasbeen for years at. worts on a watch
which, without being. larger than usual,.
was to show quarter seconds, seconds,
minutes, hours, days of the week,
days of the month, and months
of the year, and every fifth time
it was -opened was to wind itself. He
had completed it, and had received a
large offer from parties iwNew York for
the right to manufacture it. A. short
time ago he took the model apart ,
He w* --s ut able,to put it together -again,
the intense mental application upon the
difficulty has deranged his mind.
The latest New York fashion, import-
ed from Berlin, is that of early parties.
We read that the cards for one of the
most " swell" affairs of the season have
been recently issued, with Prom four
to eleven P. M." engraved in one cor-
ner. According to this system, the
blinds are closed and the gas lighted at
4 o'clock in the afternoon ; the dancing
begins at 5 or 6, and the ball is over by
11. Still. another foreign custom import-
ed into New York, which is said to have
been started by the Prince of Wales, is
for gentlemen to appear without gloves
oil full-dress occasions. -
A London correspondent of the New
York Graphic tells this interesting little
incident of the recent Mansion -house
baguet, which, it is needless to say, was
kept out of the London papers : Mr.
Stone, the new lord. mayor, is a Tory
and fond of his glass. By the time the
health of the Prince and Princess of
Wales had to be proposed our new civic
dignitary had become slightly elevated,
and he proceeded with much loyalty to
remark of the Princess :
" She's gall my' fancy painted hor, she's lovely,
she's divine,
But, alas 1 she is another's, and she never can be
mine."
—The Duncan Prohibitory Liquor
Bill was voted on in the town of Morris -

Joseph Hickson
Mr. Joseph Hickson, the recently ap-
pointed General Manager of the Grand
1`runk Railway, is a native of Northum-
berland, England. He was born in` the
year 1830, and when a lad entered the
offices of the York, Newcastle and Ber-
wick Railway at Newcastle, and was
afterwards with the Maryport and Car-
lisle Railway as their principal agent at
Carlisle. He removed to Manchester in
1851, tri /join the Manchester, Sheffield
and Lincolnshire Railway, when he
went through a regular railway training,
rising steadily by the force of his merits,
until he became General Manager's As-
sistant. It was -in that position that he
attracted the attention of Mr., now Sir
Edward Watkin, afterwards for some
time President of the Grand Trunk -Rail-
way' of Canada. On his return from
Canada in 1861, where he found the rail-
way in • a condition of almost hopeless
bankruptcy, he secured the services of
Mr.. Hickson as chief accountant, in
which position he first became connected
with the Grand 'Trunk IP►ailway. He
was shortly afterwards appointed Secre-
tary and Treasurer of the Company, and
has continued to occupy that position to
the time of his recent appointment as
General. Manager, fulfilling the duties of
the office, often most difficult, with
marked. ability, and with such sstisfac-
tion to the Board at home, that on the
withdrawal of Mr. Brydges, he was
placed in charge of the railway, and has
since been named chief executive officer
of the Company in Canada, with the title
of General Manager and Treasurer and
President of -the Executive Council,
which controls the affairs of the Com-
pany. During the last . six months;
while Mr. Hickson has been in charge of
the railw'ay, he_ has rendered most 'im-
portant service at a critical period of its
history. His personal efforts in conduct-
ing financial arrangements for the neces-
Lary means to change the guage of- the
Grand Trunk from Montreal eastward,
have accelerated the carrying out, during
this year, of .that important work. Bis
appointment to his present position was
a recognition; of valuable and honest ser-
vice rendered to the Company, and is
one apon which. the Directors and the
Proprietors are to be congratulated ; and
Mr. Potter, who has had considerable
intercourse with. Mr. Hickson during
his Presidency of the Company and his
visits to Canada, ha -s, -we think, exercis-
ed a wise judgment in the selection of so
experienced, zealous and able an officer
for the control of the Company's affairs
in this country. -
Mr. Hickson has a great taste for ag-
riculture, and has attained some success
in carrying out his enlarged views in con-
nection therewith, but his limited leisure
has afforded him few opportunities of
indulging them. He is a man of sterl-
ing honesty, a warm friend, manly and
straightforward in all his actions. In
his relations with his brother officers
and with the employes of the Company
he is strictly just and impartial, and has,
by his qualities of head and heart, made
for himself a place iii the respect and
esteem of the large staff of officials con-
nected with the railway.
Men and Women in the Pro-
fess:on.
In a discussion on " Co-education of
theSex.es," at Detroit, recently, it seemed
to be generally admitted that though
girls memorize with greater facility than
boys, they do not retain as well. Dr. I.
S. Smith said he had heard it asserted
that a woman could never learn. naviga-
tion, and his experience was that no wo-
man could ever, when. out of sight of
land, tell within ten miles where she
was. Gen. Scott once. tried to teach a
woman the manual 'of arms, but it was
a failure. That same woman once tried
to take a -vessel into harbor, but went to
sea. A woman can do a great many
things well and effectively, but as a pro-
fessional person, iu an emergency, she
fails. Ask female physicians to go out
ten miles to see a patient in such weather
as the present, and not one in a hundred
will go. The statistics of Bucks County,.
Penn.,. showed that over twenty male
teachers in that county had held their
positions continuously for thirty years ;
while the oldest, in service, female
teacher in the county bad been an ii.-
structor but ten years, and the number
of female teachers who had gone to their
graves was noticeable. The speaker had
no objection to women learning all there
is to learn in the world ; become physi-
cians, lawyers, divines, . and practice
them all ; but it was his opinion that, as
a class, females are not fitted for arduous
physical or mental labor, Let her climb
the ladder as high as she can ; but 'there
are- some ladders that she cannot climb
as highas a boy. - .

HEAD OFFICE, - LONDON; .ONT.
THE Public will please note that this Assoeia-
tion, formerly the County of Middlesex Mutual,
has not consented to advance of rates by entering
the Mutual Insurance Combination. Having only
once during its existence required more than half
of amount of Premium Note for a three years'
risk, and that being at a time when the Company
,was young and the country baptised in fire, and
having by careful management and liberality with
policy holders been enabled to pass through the
several fiery ordeals of the past ten years without
levying any special assessment on its members,
and having, after the late severe drain on its
finances caused by the excessive fire losses of
1870, 1871 and 1872, still at the Members' credit a
cash reserve (January 1st, 1874,) of
$10,049 07,
With a. total Capital of $251,370 12, our
Board of Directors have declined the overtures of
less successful Companies to advance our rates.
In the face of a strong and increasing competition
this old favorite issued for 1878 the large number
of 13,066 Policies, making the total number
now in force over 37,000. Parties desiring
insurance on farm property,, cheese factories, de-
tached dwellings and their outbuildings in towns -
and villages will be waited on . by the undersigned
or one of his duly authorized representatives' by
addressing -as below. The subscriber will continue
to visit Huron periodically, and solicits for his
co-operators the same noble patronage that has
been given to the AGRICULTURAL in the past,
and more particularly to himself, as its agent,
during the past two years ard a half,
