With $1,119.26 unpaid assessment, and
ote assets of $129 836 84
premium n •
making the total assets of the company
$132,458.74. The company has done
an increased bainess during the year
which,- considering they are not in-
reasing their working ground, is satis-
factory. The increase in the amount
at risk is $65,724. All claims were ful-
ly met, and this deservedly popular
.company has launched upon its sixteenth
year with increased vigor. The
cost of insurance for the four years now
passed has been exactly $7.50 on one
ousand dollars at risk.
—Mrs. Robert. Callander, formerly of
Clinton, writing from Manitoba to her
friends at home, speaks of the recent
blizzard as something terrible, even in
Manitoba. A neighbor of hers, driving
borne, got lost when only a short dis-
tance from his house, and when found
was nearly ten miles away, terribly
frozen, but alive, he having buried him-
self in the snow. His horses were found
a week after, and, singularly enough,
were alive, but very emaciated.
—The Maple Leaf Farmers' Club of
Morris met at Chas. Wheeler's last
Thursday evening and discussed,
" Which is the more profitable, mixed
farming or dairying ?" Mixed farming
was sustained by Jas. Shurrie, John
Barr, Allan Spier, C. B. Harris and R.
Black; Dairying by Jos. Scott, Peter
Barr, H. Burkholder, Jas. Wilkinson
and Chas. Rozell. Geo. Brewer occupied
the chair and gave his decision in favor
of dairying. " Manure, weeds and
fruit" will be discussed at the next
meeting.
—On Wednesday evening, the 31st
ult., Wm. McLeod, of Manitoba, and
Miss Hannah, second daughter of James
Kelly, of Brussels, were united in mat-
rimony at the residence of the bride's
parents, by Rev. W. T. Cluff, incum-
bent of St. John's church in that village,
in the presence of a large gathering of
friends. The bridesmaids ,were Miss
M... Kelly and Miss Jennie Dickson and
the groomsmen R. M. Dickson and W.
F. Kelly. The bride wore her travel-
ing suit. The wedding gifts were hand-
some and numerous, the majority of the
presents being silverware. After par-
taking of an excellent spread Mr. and
Mrs. McLeod left for London .by the
.night express. They will return to
Brussels before removing to their west -
.ern home at Cypress River.
—Mr. B. WillEion, one of the oldest
and most prominent residents of the
town of Wingharn and who has been
.agent of the Bank of Hamilton at that
place for several years, has just accepted
the position of manager of the new
branch to be opened in the place of the
Federal Bank about to' be closed at the
town of Simcoe. Mr. Willson is an old
resident of Wingham and. one of its
most prominent men. He has seen the
place grow from a mere hamlet of a few
hundred inhabitants to be the live and
prosperous town that it is. He was the
first reeve of the growing village and
afterwards the first mayor of the town,
which position he occupied for stveral
terms. He is a sterling 'business man
and will;be greatly missed in the town.
—Mr. George Carroll, son of Mr. P.
Carroll, of Goderich, died in Los
Angelus Southern California, on Thurs-
day last week. He had gone there for
the benefit of his health a:bout three
months ago, but the change of climate
• failed to check the dread disease, con-
sumption,and a telegram announcing his
• death was received by his father the
day it occurred. For some time he had
been studying in the law office of
Messrs. Garrow & Proud fort. He was
a young man of much promise and was
greatly respected by all who knew him.
His is the twelfth death in the family
and only two brothers and his aged and
sorely afflicted father survive him. An
elder brother practised law in Seaforth
a few years ago, and died a victim of
the same disease.
—The auction sale of Clydesdale
horses and high bred cattle held on the
farm of Mr. Thomas McLaughlin, the
well known importer and breeder of the
tOWnship of Grey, on the 3rd inst., was
attended by a very large number of
people from near and far. "Prince of
Dreghorn " was knocked doh' at $1,-
600 to Wm. Campbell, of Manitoba.
"King of the Isles was knocked down
to W. McLeod, of Manitoba, at $1,000.
Cattle sold high, two year old heifers
bringing $30 and calves. as high as $18.
Everything was sold excepting the
stallion "Tourist," which is for sale
yet, and. a fat 'cow. This proves that
the sale was a genuine one. and not
make -shift to get rid of surplus stock.
Geo. Kirkhy was the auctioneer and did
his work well. The purchasers of the
entire horses take something with them
that the Manitobans may be proud of
for they are two excellent horses.
—It was recently stated that Mr.
George Eyvel, the well known Hansard
reporter and formerly a resident of
Wroxeter, but now of Toronto, had
fallen on the street in Toronto and had
got his hands so badly frozen that there
was a danger he would lose them. A
correspondeht gives the following par-
ticulars: Mr. Eyvel, instead of falling
on the street, was brutally attacked by
a prowling ruffian, who, ,after robbing
him of his watch, money and overshoes,
left him insensible on the pavement (the
night being the coldest One of the
winter.) When found by a policeman
later on, that intelligent guardian of the
law removed him to the police station,
where, frozen and insensible as he was,
he was kept all night, although his ad-
dress was found among the papers on his
person. Mr. Eyvel's hands were more
or less frozen, but it is thought perman-
ent injuries will be Confined to the loss
of the little finger of each hand. It is
thought that had the unfortunate gentle-
man been at once removed to his own
house and his case received immediate
attention the effects of his inliiiman
treatment could have been largely
alleviated.
a volume of flame, burst forth and
mounted to the -roof. Mr. Brooks, who
was alone, seeing it was uaeless to fight
the flames, ran to liberate thiklive stock
underneath, at the same trine calling
loudly for help. He Succeeded in sav-
ing all the animals except a dog and a
rabbit. He led the entire horse,
" Farmers' Friend" through the stables
when in a flaming1 mass. They suc-
ceeded in saving about 200 bushels of
damaged oata and barley, but all his
implements, buggy, harness, and utter
were burned. The barn and contents
are insured. Th0 9hould be a Warning
to all farmers to 'either keep their bed
until sunrise or to be careful with lan-
terns about the barns.
Kinburn.
A GOOD SiLE.—Mr. John Clark, near.
this village, had an auction sale of his
farm stociand implements previous to
his leaving for Manitoba. The sale was
conducted by Mr. George Kirkby and
we hear that the goods sold at very
good prices. One horse was sold at
$200 and others at an equally good
price. Cows sold at from $30 to $40.
As a general thing it was a very satis-
factory sale.

PRESENTATION.—On Tuesday evening
last the people of Calvin church congre-
gation availed themselves of the oppor-
tunity to show their appreciation of the
services of Mr. Robt. Shiells, in connec-
tion with that congregation, by assem-
bling at his residence and presenting
him and Mrs. Shiells with an elegant
hanging lamp and cruet. Mr. Shiells,
who has long been an indefatigable and
valued worker in the church, was com-
pletely taken by surprise, but in a short
and appropriate address he expressed his
thankfulness to the people for the man-
ner in which they estimated the work
he had done among them, and his wish
to still continue his labors. The esti-
mation in which he is held by the people
of that- congregation was shown by the
kindly wprded address, which was read
on the occasion.

LOCAL BRIEFS.—Mr. A. Haggit has
moved with his family to Brussels. He
is engaged as teamster for Mr. Van -
stone. ---The saw mill has been shut
down for a week as the logs are too hard
frozen to saw with profit.—Mr. Webb,
blacksmith of this place, says his busi-
ness is increasing daily. Well it may,
for he is a good workman. It would be
a great help to a man like Mr.' Webb to
-have some one to cook mealsandkeep
on fires in the house. This difficulty
will no doubt be remedied before leap
year is out.—Mr, Chas. Wheeler, of the
4th line of Morris, met with a heavy
loss last week by the death of his short-
horn bull, which he purchased about a
year ago from Mr. Milne, of Ethel, for
$160 cash. He was rising two years old
and was one of the best stock animals in
this section. The loss to Mr. Wheeler
will be very great as he had only th
use of the animal last season.

week a number of young folk assemble
at the residence of Wm. Marshall, of th

Winchelsea.
CONCERT.—On the evening of the 8th
ult.'a concert was given in the Win-
chelsea school house by the teacher,
Mr. Holman, assisted by local talent.
On account of the inclement weather
the attendance was small, but a good
programme was, nevertheless, carried
out. The proceeds of the concert
amounted to $11.
BARN BCRNED.—Last Saturday morn-
ing about six o'clock the large bank
barn of Mr. James Brooks,who lives on
the boundary between Usborne and
Bkldulph, was burned to the ground.

paring his chaff cutter for a days' cut-
ting, set the lantern Oh the cut-bor. It

meeting night, and five more were pro-

.assisted by Mies O'Connor, of Brussels.
Leadbury.
BRIEFS.—Mia. McNamara of the
Temperance Hotel at Leadbury, went
on a visit to Wiarton on Friday of last
week. Mr. McNamara is making square
timber on an extensive arsiale up there
this winter. Men of such enterprise
are deserving of success.—The Canada
Company's agent was in a few days ago,
and sold a quantity of timber on the
company's lands on the border of the
big pine swamp. This swamp, which
contains an enormous amount of valu-
able timber, will be a great boon to
those farmers who need rails, fuel, &c.
—
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Dennison have
gone to Wroxeter to visit Mr: Bray and
family.—The school here is going to

12th line this winter, Rev. Mr. Tor-
rance,' Methodist, and Rev. Mr. Mus-
grave, Presbyterian, preaching alter-
nately. They are bothi able, energetic,
and eloquent ministers.—The union Sab-
bath School held at the same place,
which was formerly closed in the fall of
the year, is being continued on this win-
ter. The school was furnished with a
new library a short time ago mainly
through the instrumental4y of Mr. John
Parish, the efficient superintendent.
Whitechurch.
A GOOD SEND OFF.—The residence of
Mr. D. D. Rennie was the scene of a
very pleasant event on Saturday -even-
ing last. Although Mr. Rennie has
been teaching in the vicinity of Luck -
now, his family, still resided here, and he
has very acceptably performed the duties
of precentor in the Presbyterian church
here. When it became known that he
intended removing from here, his many
friends proceeded to give some expres-
sion of their esteem. Accordingly when
he arrived home in the evening he found
-that the enemy was in possession. He,
however, was permitted to enter. Mr.
A. H. dusgrove occupied the chair, and
atter stating the object of the invasion
called upon Mr. H. D. Henderson, who
read a very beautifully, worded and feel-
ing address to Mr. Rennie, expressive of
sorrow and regret at his departure, and
in conclusion presented him with a purse
of money. Mr. Rennie replied in a very
feeling manner. Further remarks hav-
ing been made by Messrs. 'Henderson
and Gillespie, the ladies came along with
viands and a very extensive bill of fare
was done ample justice to. Several
songs followed, and at 11 p. m. the
enemy retired, having done no damage.
Mr. Rennie and family will be much
missed here, but we trust that they may
enjoy unnumbered comforts up at Luck -
now, where they have gone.—VisrroR.
