--The annual meeting of the West
Wawanosh Mutual Fire Insurance Com-
pany was held at Dungannon on Tuesday,
glstinst. There was quite a large attend-
ance of those concerned from the sur-
rounding townships. The directors' and
auditors reports were unanimously
adopted. The three retiring directors,
viz,,, Messrs. John Gordon, Isaac Fisher
and Finlay Anderson, were reappointed.
Mr. John Wilson was appointed auditor
of accounts by the policy holders. The
manner of conducting the business oo
the Company during the past year, be-

—At Shakespeare on Saturday night
a young man who in a certain mental
condition always carries a lot of money
in his pocket, was going home about
11:30 p. in. He was attacked by a high-
way man. He says the wouldbe robber
seized him by the throat and made. a
dive for his pocketbook. After -et severe
struggle he'. got the robber down and
kicked him on the face till the blood
was- dyeing the sidewalk, when he left
him and went home, with all his money
safe. Nekt morning at the scene of the
conflict no\blood stainscould be seen,
but a new`felt hat and a four pound
loaf were lying on the "roadside, and a
well defined trail of seine - one having
rolled or crawled for twenty yards
among the snow in the bottom of a very
deep ditch. As no person with a broken
face has been seen around, the robber
must either have been a stranger, or
else the young man hadbeen seeing

TORONTO, January 28th. — Butter. — The
supply of good butter continues light,
while there is a superabundance of low and
medium grades, which are finding a dull,
flat and unprofitable market. They certainly
find the market most unprofitable, for lots of
butter are offering here at 8 to 12c per lb. that
cost the present holder 14 to 16c, and sometimes
more. Good dairy butter is wanted at 16 to 180,
but other grades drag. There was a pretty
liberal supply of large rolls to -day and prices
were weaker ; best sold at 14 to 15c mostly, but
the quality had to be very good to bring that
figure.

Proverbs about Trifles.
" By coming and going; with a straw
in its beak, the bird builds its nest,"
says the Oji proverb. " A penny hainecl
(saved) is a penny clear," and A preen
(pin) a day's a groat a year," say the
canny Scotch. " Patchwork makes a
garment last long," says the Yoruba
proverb ; He who does not attend to
patching will come to want clothes."
Again, " The mother of mischief is no
bigger than a midge's wing,'t says the
Seetch proverb ; and " Little sticks
kindle the fire, but great ones put it
out." Dean Swift says wittily : "The
slitting of one ear in a stag hath been
found sufficient to propagate the defect
in a whele forest.' And fDr. Johnson
characteristically proclaims the same
truthAkus " All knowledge is of it-
self of-iorne value. There is nothing so
minute or inconsiderahle that I would,
not 'rather know it than not." When We
read that there is "something to be learn-
ed from the merest trifle:, that is but
another—way of saying, " Take 'care of,

MONTREAL, January 28th.—There was a fair
supply of cattle in the market today. - Trade
was quite active, and prices seem xo have pretty
well recovered from the depression of last
Thursday.. The presence of buyers from Quebec
helped to stiffen prices. A few of the best cattle
sold at 4 c per pound, and pretty good animals
at 4c; with rough stock and common dry cows
at from 3 to 3/c per pound, but some of the
leaner beasts would not bring 3c per. pound.
The quality of the sheep and lambs offered to -day
was not very good, and mixed lots sold at 4I0
per pound. Fat hogs are rather lower in price,
or about 4t0 per i ound.

HOGS WANTED
Farmers hurry on your store hogs and' fatten
them for the market from. January to June:'
We have determined to abandon the, packing
of dressed hogs in order th make the packing of
hogs a business throughout the year. We \shall
endeavor to buy at whatever the price is, enough
live hogs during these months to run oun pack-
ing house. As this business is being neglected
during the' late winter and spring monthit, we
think those who have hogs suitable for our re-
quirements will reap a big benefit. We want
hogs not less than 140 pounds, and not over. 220
pounds and will give a handsotine price for the
same. Ithcollect we.shall not buy a dressed hog
- this winter, whereas we packed 15,000 dreesed
hogs after January 1, laet winter.
