AN AGED our.—While making h pain

happened on a interesting gathering of old
people. He c lled at the residence of Mr.
Francis Scott, just west ef the, town, and
found there, b sides Mr. and Mrs. Scott,

Henderson, of McKillop, who were making
a friendly visi with Mr. and Mrs. Scott.
The combined ages Of these five penning
aggregated ver 400 years, each • of
the five being ver 80 years of age. It is a
rare thing to rid such a gathering, one
which has com together quite by accident,
and for the pu pose of spending a social
time together. Despite their advanced age
they are all sp ightly, and f possessed in a
marked degree all their faculties. We hope
the members o this worthy group of- pie.
neers may be s %red to eejoy many more
such gatheringn

ANOTHER AfASHU P.—There was another
bad smashup a the electric light station on
Sunday night, thriller to that of a few weeks
ago, only more damaging in its results and
it was the earn . engine before that caused
all the troubl . It was about .half past
eleven and eve ything was running smooth-
ly, wheu sudd nly there was a crack, and in
a second the r om was filled with pieces of
iron and escaping steam. Something broke
about the pi ton rod and it made short
work of everyt ing it att.*, finally being
driven through the cylinder, knocking out
the head. Mr Joseph Abel), the engineer,
was etending c ose to the engine at the time,
anti sited° an ffort to ehut off the steam
but the pieces f metal flying in all direc-
tions, and th escaping steam drove him
back,'!and he eras compelled to go to the
boiler r nine to check the 'steam. As the
company have en extra engine the electric)
light service wee in no way interfered
with, but the smashing will create a big bill
for repairs.

As Or.n Bm-m-..—Mr. Robert Tarnbull, of
this town, has shown ,ue a book inhich is;
evidently, very old. It has bah in Mr.
Turnbull'e family for several generations.
The first and the last piges of the. book are
missing so that we cannot ascertain when,
by whorn or where it wai printed. Other-
wise the book i *n excelleut state of
preservation. It entitled " The Beehive
of the Romish rch," and so far as we
can make out it is reply to and an at-
tempted refute ion of the doctrines of the
Roman Catholic ch rch and was, no &Wet,
intended to be a Yer learned treatise. lt is
all printed in old En lieh style of type and
the spelling and phraseology are as pecini
and quaint ae the type, An attempt, to fol-
low the reading and make out the meaning
of the author is about as easy and fully as
interesting as the etudy of a. Chinese puzzle.
We spent the greater part of one evening
perusing it and we must confess that, while
there are some peculiar and amuaing par -
sages, the print is eo difficule to read and
the phraseology so _foreign to present day
thought, that wa were not much better
versed in the objects bf the author when
we quit its purusal than we were before we
started. Tne book must be eeveral hundred
ears old,as we gathered from its pages that
t was written about the time of the death
f Pope Pius the fourth. It ia quite a earn
sity and is a relic well worth preserving.

liornevrens Go TO CM-RT.—In the di-
ision eourt, at Goderich, on Monday of last
week, elr. George L. Allan, of Goderieh,
treasurer of the' Huron county hockey
league, was the defendant in a suit entered
on behalf of the Seaforth hockey club for
the recovery of $20, to which tho plaintiffs
claim they are entitled. Mr. Allan, in his
capaciny as tretteurer, holds $15, and de-
mands have been made upon him by the
Goderich club for $10, and by the Seaforth
club far $20. He offered to settle the mat-
ter and get the money out of his hands by
paying each club half. the amount of iis
claim, but, as this was not agreed to, he
still holds the money. The trouble arose in
this way : In the winter of 1899-1900 a
Seaforth man was treasurer of the league,
which comprised Seaford), Clinton and
Goderich. Each club woe to put up $5 the
total amount to go et the end of the season
to the winner of the series. Goderich won
the champtonship, but, on the excuse that
Clinton had not paid its $5, the treasurer
simply handed- back to the Goderich club
$5 it had deposited in his handl', and re-
turned the other $5 to the Seaforth club.
Since then Goderich has claimed thee the
league ie in its debt to the amount of $10.
Last vvinter Wingharn entered the league,
and the winning club wait again to receive
$5 deposited by each club, $20 in all. - Mr.
Allen) treesurer, received $5 each from

MANITOBA days gone by, we
in Ontario mad to hear a great deal about
Manitoba mud, and paiticularly about, the
mud in Winnipeg. Ite pe3uliarily slippery
and adheeiVe qualities used to be dilated
upon with great gusto. Illustrative of, the
.situation in the prairie metropolis, it, was
related, °but with what -degree of truthful'.
nese we are not prepared to ray, that once
upon a time a half breed came to town with
a yoke of steers hitched to a red river Fart, •
and while passing alorig the main street of
Winnipeg, the whole outfit sank mit of
sight and Vas never more seen or heard of.
Ot late years, however, we have 'not heerd
so much about the mud, Whether it is
that the people have become so eccustomed
to the situation that they cease marvelling
over it and the mud has lost its terrois, or
that it is hidden out of sight with geavel
and asphalt, we do not know, But, while
the mud problem has ceased to be a live
issue in Winnipeg, it still seems to have its
peculiar charms for. -some of the weatern
cities.- A tenderfoot from Huron, writing
from Regina says : " We had rain for two
or three deys last week and had a chanoe to
see some mud. The peoplehere in Regina
are proud of their mud. They claim there
is nothing can equal it in North America
and I dont think they are very far wrong.
It's something awful, knee deep on the
roads and two or three inches of it on the
sideivalks. Everybody walks -with a kind
of shuffle for fear of sitting down, for its
almost ai good as ice to slide on, and I soon
found out why' there are so many foot
scrapers in frorA•of the stores and houses."

DEATII OF MR, T.II031AS SINFSON.—Att.
-other old resident of the county and a one
time prominent man of this distriet, in the
person of Mr. Thomas Simpaon,of this place,
departed this life on Sunday lapt. Mr.
Simpson had reached the good oid age of
nearly seventy-eight yearse He had been in
declining health for several years. Previous
to coming to Brucefield about ten years ago,
he resided on a farm on the Parr line, in the
township of Stanley, where he was one of
the pioneer settlers. He served many years
in the township council and foe several
years represented hie township in the county
council and on more than one occasion his
name was freely mentioned as a li ely can-
didate for the Legislature. He w e also a
prominent member of the Orange order.
He was a strong man in municipal politics,
courteous and obliging to friend and op -
being faithful inthe discharge of his duties,
ponent alike, and was oonseque tly very
-popular. As a man he was genial and
whole souled and to know him wee to like
him. He was an enthusiastic a d active
Coneervative and in days gone by few
wielded a greater influence for hie party in
Stanley than Tom Simpson, as h wae so
familiarly known. Of Lite years, however,
anypart in public affairs and live quietly
he was precluded by ill health froi; taking
in his home in this village. He had no
family, but his widow survives him. He
had his faults and failings, and who hap not?
But with them all, he had many good quail-
tiee of head and heart and he will be long
remembered for these by a later' circle of
old friends. Indeed it may be truthfully
said of him that he had hosts pf warm
friends and no enemies ; he did goo in his
day. ,

ALL ABOUT A FEW FEET OP LAND.—The
following case of local interest is reported
as coming before Justices Meredith, Rich•
ardson and Leciunt at the divisional court in
Toronto a few days ago : Walker v. Nor-
ris.—J. P. Mabee, K. C., for defendant,
moved to set aside verdict and judgment of
county court of Perth, entered thereon in
lotion to recover possession of a strip of
land 4 feet wide and 418 feet long, which
plaintiff alleged defendant took possession
of by moving the boundary fence between
his farm and plaintiff's, which is lot 12 in
the 10th conceseion of the township of ilib-
bert. Defendant's fafen-is lot 11, -and he
counterclaimed, alleging that, under an
award of fenceviewere, he was to maintain
the front or south half of the fence and
plaintiff the rear, or neerth half, and that
the plaintiff, in changfng his portion of the
fence to wire, had enclosed a strip of de-
fendant's land, to which he was entitled to
possession. The jury found that the south
half of the fence was on the plaintiff's- land
and that the north half was on the old- line.
It was contended that the land in question
was only worth 20 cents, and therefore be-
neath the dignity of the court, and that,
upon the finding of the jury, there was no
jurisdiction to declare the plaintiff entitled
to the strip of land nor te direct defendant
to remove the fence, and to refrain from
further trespass ; that as the case went to
the jury the sole question was whether the
fence ho,i been rebuilt on the old line, and
that the finding of the jury that the eouth
half was on plaintiff's land was not incon-
sistent with defendane's contention ; the
judge's charge was also objected to, F. H.
Thompson, Mitchell, for plaintiff, contra
objected that an appeal did not lie. Motion
as -to plaintiff's elaim dismissed, but order
made setting aside judgment as to counter-
claim and directing a new trial of it. Costs
of former trial of it to abide result, unless
otherwise ordered by the presiding judge.
No costs of this motion.
