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. MINI11111111M111•11MMINIMM Marnoch. 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. Sunshine LOCAL BRIEFS.—Mr. A.

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. Morris.

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.

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.

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.
