Q. Wills+, of this town, et work, and it demonstrates how - easy herd work eau be made by the applice- tion of a little machinery. This plow waa at work in a fie d which had on it a *luck second grow h of flax, the stalks ef w-hich ranged roM twelve to siX- teen inches in len th, and it turn 'd ev(•rything underneath: so complete y that not even 0 top could e seen protruding. It wag; ma.de in Bran ford, and this is the fixist season it hE s - been introdaced. It has, many improv meats and advanneges es}.er theordina y sulky plow, one of AirhiGh iS its simplic.- ity, and any lad vrho can drive a tea eau w-ork- it. Mr. ; Murphy eays thet with one man andithnie horses he can get over more groond in a day and do better work with this plow than four horees and two men could do with the ordinary implies -rent. It is only a mat- ter of time until these will_ be the gen- eral porpose plow of the farmer, and the at rib -breaking kind will be discarded. There is no farmer so foolishly industri- ous now -a -days as to Walk all day and hold a plow when he can get one that will do more work and do, it better, and on . which he can ride and make his team do the walking for him. These plows stre sold at $45.

He say : " 1 am using both pen and tongoe to. drew attention to our buttee.

Trade Continues. with Unabated Vim —AT_ Edward McFaurs Popular Dry Goods, kit linery 021d Clothing House. Every one satisffed with the value they get, and the treatment they re. calve. Our steadily increasing trade is a difficult subject for some to analyze, but when the a.natomy of our business is brought under the magnifying power of public patronage, the difficulty die. appear's, and our large trade becomes an established and undisputed fact. We are now on the war path with incom- parable inducements in Men's and Boys' Under- clothing', Men,s and -Boys' Caps, Men's and Boys' Overcoats, mpany. y attention has been communication in your er 3rd signed by Mr. Secretary of the Mc - Company, in which h.e ently has misstated the nee in the Dominion Fire Insurance Com- pany.

In 1885 over $2,900 ' was paid back as 4p refits. Mr. Shannon states that in his company $2,000 has dost $12,24, whie 1 is considerably over the coet to inemb,rs of the Grangre Com- pany, taking into consideration th profits paid back, and if the Grange ha only paid 66 cent on the dollen, loss m chattel property they cotild. have pai back in profits , su men sum o re duce the actUal Cost of a $2,000 polic for four years to $10.40, being $1.84 les than Air. Shannon places the cost of in surance in the AllKillop Company. But the Grange Company believethat if the insure a man for :.,,.,31,000 on chattel pro perty and askl him to pay the premium 'on $1,000 commo honesty demands tha if he loses $1,0 0 he should be paid $1,000 and -not $ 66.66, as the directors of Our company c n find no scripture for such a proceeding Yours truly, R, J. DOYLE, Manager. i MR. SHAN.NON'S REPLY. MIL EDITOR,—tn a recent issue o your'pa,per I notiz;ed a second lengthy communication flora Mr. Michael Mc Quade in reply to ' few words by my self some time pre iously in reference to the comparative enefits of insuring in the McKillop Mu ual and the Grange Insurance Compa ies. Since then, how ever, I notice ano her letter on the same eubject from Mr. . J. Doyle, Manager of the Grange Inst ranee Company. Mr. McQuade's mane er is. evidently not satisfied with his handling of the case, and so takes a hand. in himself. I shall, therefore, pass Mr. McQuade over, as, he has b en superseded by his manager; and will direct my remarks to the statements o Me. Doyle. In his letter Mr. Doyle ays that I was incor- rect in saying tha the Grange Company exacts a prerniur note as well as a de- posit fee, as he sa s it is only an under- takinil and net a ote. Now, I would like Mr. Doyle t explain what is the practical differenc between the two. I would now direct the attention of Mr. Doyle and the p blic to Ithe following facts, which I t ke from the official documents, and ea not therefore be dis- puted. From the tariff of rates issiied by the Dominion Grange Company, I find in the Grange Branch in.their third class insurance they charge a cash de- posit of 75 cents p,er $100, and in addi- tion an undertakinaks or pfemium note for $2 per $100 insure lice. On an insurance of $2,000 the ins red would thus have to pay a cash dee osit of $15, fand give an undertaking or $40. This Mr. Doyle can't deny, as I quote from bis own book of instru tions. But he makes a great ado abou refunds to members. 'Well, according to the last Government ort, the Grange Branch had a mem- ship of 4,753, -.a there was refrind- of de osit mon y to insurers $1,459, xactly 81.28 to each member during four years term. This would reduce actual coet ofi insurance to Grange nbers to 813.70 on an insUrance of , 00 for four ears. This is still 1 s Qur Clothing Room is splendidly lighted. You can examine every gar- ment in bread daylight. Ali New Goods, and prices right. E. McFAUL/ Seaforth's Dry Goods, Millinery and Clothing Man. $1.48 more than it cost in; the Mckill4 company to say nothing of the forty dollar undertaking, and the fact that the members of the McKiilop com- pany have only to pay' the money in annual instalments, whereas the Grange membere have to pay their money in a bulk- sum when they become members with the - prospect of getting a small percentage of it back after the company has had the use of it for four years. Bet there is another point I would likelto direct Mr. Doyle's attention to. The General BL anch of the Grange Com- pany has a membership of 1,362 and the Munificent sum of $79.32 was returned to members, while the Grange branch with a membership of 4,753 had returned to those members the sum of $1,459, thus showing that Mr. Doyle makes the members of the General Branch of his company assist in paying the insurance of the members in the Grange Branch, and still the MsKillop Company is cheaper than even this favored Grange Branch, as I have shown above, The McKillop Company pays only two-thirds of the loss on contents of buildings ; according to Mr. Doyle the Grange Company pays the full amount •13y the former practice the insured car- ries One-third the risk and the company two-thirds ; by the latter pra.ctice the insured has -no risk, w He the Company ee carries the whole riek. I do not know u that there is anything in Scripture pro - Minting such magnanimity, but I do knoW that it is very unfair to the mem- - , -hers.; I think all the members should Y I bear proportion of the risk, and that s the Whole balance should not be in 4.- favor (if the person whose goods are " burned. I have now made this matter Y so plain that it should not be misunder- - stood by any one, and consequently I do not intend referring to the subject again. Yours, Respectfully, W. J. SHANNON, Secretary McKillop Company. , County Jail Statistics. Th following jail statistics have been kindly furnished us by Jailor Dickson, and will prove interesting to many of Our readers. The following is a synopsis of prison- ers committed to the county jail for the year ending 30th September, 1886; Nazober committed, 52 males and 10 females ; total, 62. Of the total num- ber 1$ were Government prisoners and 44 *ere county prisoners ; thus the Government had to defray the expenses of 18 -against 44 which were a charge upen the county. The daily average of prisoners in jail was 6. The average number of days for each prisoner wee 59. Out of the above number commit- ted 3 died in jail, viz.: One female, aged. 95 ; and two males, aged 82 and 85; respectively. Nationalities—Cauada, 21 ; Ireland, 16 ; England, 12 ; S6otland, 10 ; United States, ; other countries, 2, Religions-=-Presbytterian, 20 ; Church of England, 16 ; Clun-ch of Rome, 14 ; Methodist, 9 e other denominations, 3. Married, 20 ; unmarried, 42. Temperate, 27 ; intemperate, 3.3: Offences for which committed--A8- saulte 4 ; contempt. of court, 4 ; drunk and disorderly, 4 ; vagrants, 18 ; larcener, 12 ; insa,ne, 10 ; yape, ; stabbiug, -horse stealing, 1 ; breaking, 1 total, 44. The remaining IS were for trifling offencee. Von will Observe the small number commtitted for assault, only 4 ; in former years ,aesaulth and -using abusive langnage formed the large majority of offences. This year only one was committed for using abusive language. This is worthy of notice, especially in connection with the Scott Act now in force, imperfectly though it has (4seen enforeed over the clunty. There was one more committed during year than the previous year. The greatest number in jail at any time, dur- ing the year was 17 ; the lowest number was 6. Last year we carried over te the eneuing year 10, while this year we carried over 6; The year, as a whole, was a quiet one in jail as competed with a number of years back.
