Their ma- chinery is to be driyen by power from McCiay's engine. The whole arrange- naent will be very much to their ad- vantage, and will enable them to man- ufacture at a smaller cost than hereto- fore. Mr. Flagg is now visiting Guelph, Galt, and Hamilton, purchasing ma- chinery, and they expect to be in full operation by the 1st of next month. Jamestown.

SHEEP irtr,LED.- Three sheep, the property of Mr. James Simson, whose' farm adjoins this place, were killed by dogs on the night of Wednesday of last week. One of the sheep was quite valuable, being estimated at 825. Leen PIIROHABE.-MT. Robert Coutts having sold all his property in this vi- cinity, has purchased lot 30, concession 11, for the sum of 02,900. He will re- move there about the 20th inst. THE OLD, OLD SUBJECT. -No lack of variety in the weather department whatever. Monotony broods over all things else. There seems to :be a re- union-mayhap a disunion -among the seasons of the year, and we have it all things by turns, but nothing long. HOSTILITIES SUSPENDED. -Mr. John Connolly came out of the saw log em- broglio serenely, and now his star is in the ascendant. No more litigation for a while. • FARM LEABED.-Mr. Henry Cowan, lot 5, concesdon 6, G-rey, has leased the Ray Estate from the present proprietor, Mr. Wm. McElroy, for a term of five years, at an nnual rental of $160. One of the best orchards in the township is to be found n this plade. THE Exo us. -The world and his wife out thi way will go over to Mani- toba. early ii the spring, leaving this part one bar commons, with sole ten- ants the Doi y goose, the more demon- strative gan er, and the retiring wood- chuck, i. e., if the boom doesn't turn milt to be a boomerang. - THE PRIMITIVE SCHOOL HOUSE. -The first school house in Section No. 4, Grey, was put up in the fall id. 1857. It was not a very pretentious building. The cerpenter work was of a peculiar order. That the building was of log goes without saying. The ' writing desks were about as high as a common horse, and the seats did. no violence to the proportion, but preserved it with the utmost ertinacsity, and thus the greatest go dwill subsisted between them. But he averaged. sized- school- boy looked n on them with no kindly feeling. He ad many a struggle to mount the s at, and then the abrupt- DeSS of the d sk was not very conciliat- ing to his spiting mind. Moreover, one of these seats, renowned for its length as well as its height, had a fa- cility for falling when such &II event was least looked for, that it was regard- ed with extreme suspicion and distrust by all the boys except the, naturally dazing and adventurous. The teacher's desk was as long and as wide as a wagon box and nearly as high as the giraffe. In fact, it was on a grand scale. The etool on which Newman Noggs sat when going through his com- plicated _arithmetical calculations, would dwindle into the veriest pigmy when compared - with the lofty and stately one that pertained to this desk. Aid yet it vv4s not the faultless monster that people would like to see, • for neither life nee limb was safe when it began to exhibit the symmetry of. its parts and the grandeur of its construc- tion. More about these things next time. INN OBITUARY. -It is our sad • duty • to chronicle the death of Mr. J. B. Mc- Lean, who departed this life at the family homes ead near Kippen on M on - day, Februar 27th, at the age of 28 years and 11 months. The deceased went some twe years ago to California, where he soen found lucrative and honorable em eloyment. By strict at- tention to dut , combined with integ- rity, he was RAI:tally rising in the esteem of his naployers, and was in a fair way of re lizing his fondest dreams of securing a orupetency, and return- ing to the lan of his birth and adop- tion. But fat ordered it otherwise. When in the 1eight of his success he was attaokedl by a fever. After lying for some_three naoriths he was so far re- covered as to le able to be removed to Canada, aoconkpanied by his brother, D. B. McLean, Who cared for him with the most unreriaitting attention. The change seemed to do him good for a time, but he relapsed and got weaker and weaker, until the thread of life, re- duced almost to a single strand, snap- ped in twain, and the soul, unfettered, quit her temp]home. He bore his ill- ness with resi nation. Having aaa iron constitution, fclrtified with strictly tem- perate habits nd possessed of an in domitable wile ; and strong, sanguir temperament, e withstood the 'grim messenger for eight tedious mouths, but worn out nattua had at last to succumb. He. was generally respected being a young man clf exemplary character, hidiug within rough exterior a good, kind, true, ma ly heart. His friends have the syrap thy of the entire com- munity iu ther bereavement. His re- mains were fol owed to their last resting place,in Egmo dville cemetery,by &large concourse of fr ends. He was -a member of Fidehty Lo go Independent Order of. Oddfellows, eaforth, who performed the last sole el n rites over his grave. -Cora. Morris. ADDRESS A D PRESENTA ION. - A number of the friends of M. J. Little met at Mr. E. Bosman's house, where Mr. Little and family were visiting, on Friday evenin last to do honor to Met Little, who is bout leaving for Mani- toba, and to e hibit in a practical and useful way the esteem in which they held titeir dep ting friend. A.fter the general saint tions the meeting was c ailed/ to orde , when Mr. L. Frazier -came forward and delivered a most 5 beautiful and touching' address, expres- sive of the good will • and friendship entertained towardef the departing su- perindent and teacher of Ebenezer Sabbath School, Mr. Little. The ad- dress went on to dilate upon the many valuable . serviees rendered by him towards the church and.Sunday School; the interest he took in the children ; the practical manner of his instruction, and his unflinching determinationto celery out, regardless of personal criti- cism, what he considered to be his duty,' Miss Olver then presented Mr. Little with a handsome silver watch and chain, after which Mr. Little made a very suitable reply. Rev. Mr., Weath- erill made a few remarks and led in prayer, after which a most excellent tea was provided and appreciated by all. Music, games, recitations, &c., followed in succession until the "wee sma" hours , when the many friends, one by one, with many expressions Of regret at part- ing and hopes for his future prosperity, bid him good-bye, and the proceedings of the evening then terminated.

Fenn SOLD. -Mr. W. Wade has sold his farm of 116 acres, on the Base line, a short distance from town, for the sum of $6,200. Mr. J. Stevens, of Colborne, is the purchaser. The buildings or; the place are poor, but the farm is a good 'one and worth the money. RETURNED. - Mr. H. Fitzsimmons last week returned from Mountain City, Manitoba, where he has been liv- ing for nearly a year past. Like so many others, he has done remarkably well there, having made about $7,000 by investments in real estate. -His visit to Ontario was made for the ex- press purpose of settling up a number of liabilities he had to leave when he went wet. DIVISION COuRTS.-From the report, of the Inspector of Division Courts for Ontario, we learn that the total number of suits eritered in. the eleven courts in this county, for the- year 1880, exclusive of transcripts of judgment and judgment summonses, was 2,922, while the amount of the claims entered, was $90,949. The number of suits in the County Court, for the same year, was 112; for 1879, 260. INSPECTOR OF HIGH SCHOOL& -Mr. James Turnbull, B. A., head master of the Clinton High School, is mentioned as a probable successor to Mr. Marling, deceased, as inspector of High Schools, for the Province. Mr. Turnbull's lengthened experience ae one of the foremost teachers in the Province, makes him in:every respect well quali- fied for the position. EXPENSIVE DISPuTE.-On Thursday of last week Messrs. Elliott and Shaw were summoned to appear before Mayor Forrester, on two charges of assault, at the instance of Messrs. George Beatty and John Reid. The parties all liye in the neighborhood. of Varna, and a large number of witnesses were in at- tendance. After hearing the evidence they were fined $1 and costs and 2and octets, respectively, the sum amounting to over $20. From a financial point of view, it would, perhaps, have been bet- ter to have amicably settled their dis- pute. IIMMUMMIIMMillE111111 WaltOD .11 ENTERPRISING. - WfatOTi 18 going ahead.

W., Scott, of Listowel, James Fisher, of Stratford, and others, who went to ltlanitobe some time ago to operate in real eState, have been losing millions, more caelets, in their opera- tions. They certainly have lost simply because they have not made, but their direct lOBB is only their time and ex- penses. The title of the land they purchased and surveyed out into town lots -they named the place Manitoba City -proved to be defective, and in; consequence they were obliged to aban- don it and refund the money tor lots they had sold.
