Zurich Takes McMillan Trophy
Zurich defeated Hensall 6-5 Fri-
day night in the Zurich Arena and
by doing so won the McMillan
Trophy, awarded annually to the
team finishing the schedule on top
of group two, W.d.A.A. Intermedi-
ate "B." The game, played before
1,150 fans, was the ]fastest and
cleanest game ever played in the
Zurich Arena. Play was very ev-
en throughout the first two per-
iods and only in the third period
did the home team show a slight
edge. For the winners, Doug.
O'Brien, Quesnel and Gignac each
scored two goals, while for the los-
ers Harriston got two, Cowan and
Morrisseau, one each.

at New York, take yoijr i!AuF a&e as"
cheap as you van. to; .'lbany by
steamboat. They will haler you to
take your passage at New York on
to Buffalo; but taking your•passage
to Albany, you will get it: cheaper
than at New York; and you can
choose your own boat as there are
plenty anxious to carry Passengers
to the Far West.
I would not advise, you to bring
any" wheels or reels with you; bet-
ter sell them as well as you can
at Home, for I think you can buy
them as cheap here when you
want them; some pots and a fry-
ing pan will be useful on the pas-
sage. Bring your griddle, your
crocks, and a small washing pail
or two; they will hold small
grape or two; bring a good quan-
tity of cotton cloth and cotton
fringe as they are both very high
in price here. Bring all your bed
clothes you have. You need not
bring many new shoes as they are
much the same price here as at
home. Change no more of your
sovereigns than will bring you
out of the States into Canada as
the sovereign is worth as much
here as at New York, and you do
not run the risk of getting their
bad Yankee money.
I shall next give you a brief ac-
count of our markets here which
are very low: Wheat, 3s. to 4s.
per bushel; barley, 2s., y1d. per
bushel; potatoes, ls. per bushel:
beef from 3 to 4d. per Ib.; mutton
from 2d. to 3d. per lb.; pork from
2 to 3d. per lb.; cheese from 2 to
40. ;•t'r lb.; butter, 5 to 6d: per lb.;
eggs 5'to 6d. per dozen; tea, is.,
6d. to 2s. per lb.; loaf sugar. 61/2d.
per Ib.; brown sugar, 3 to 4d. per
Its; coffee, 8 to 9d. per Ib.; to-
bacco, 54,zd. to ls. per lb.; brandy,
5s. to tis. per gallon; Madeira wine
from 55, to .13s, per gallon; port
wine, 4s. 6d. to 5s. 6d. per gallon;
whisky, from Is. 6d., per gallon.
Men's wages in general are £2,

men's wages in general are 14s. to

working oxen, 55 and SO dollars;
good milk cows 15 and 20 dollars.

From. Tuckersmith�� i
Address
(By S. B. McCready, in London
Free Press)
The letter reproduced below was
discovered recently at an old home
near Elora.
It was written to tWilliam Wil-
son, of Kirkcudbright, Scotland, by
a, man who signed himself "J. C.'
of "Largies," Tuckersmith Town-
ship, Huron Tract, Upper Canada..
"J. C." was James Carnochan
and was a grand -uncle of James
and Robert Carnochan, James and
Alex Broadfoot, Mrs. Joseph Scott,
McKillop, and Miss Agnes Carno-
chan, Seaforth. The Car•nochans
were born on "Largies" farm,
which is on the second concession
of Tuckersmith. John McCowan
lives on the farm at the present
time.
The letter was dated September
25, 1884. It reads as follows:
"My Dear Friends:
I received your letter some time
ago and I was truly happy to hear
you were all enjoying good health.
I see you are quite resolved, if all
is well, to come out to Canada in
the spring. I approve very much
of your doing so, as your family is
now coming forward to help you in
the way of working. In my humble
opinion there is a good way of
living in this country for working
people. But not for those that will
not work; or for those who would
like to act the gentlemen, unless
they have lots of sovereigns in
their pocket. For my own part I
would not advise any person to
come here for fear they would dis-
like the place; for I have seen some
peoples very dissatisfied after com-
ing here although they can get al-
most everything they want very
reasonable.
Still they seemed more discon-
tented than Robert and I were
when we came into the bush and
not a roof to cover our heads; and
could not get a meal of meat un-
der a quarter of .a dollar; and the
growing timber around us like a
wilderness. However, after get-
ting a small house put up and a
few acres of land cleared the first
year, the appearance of the crops
encouraged us very much. So we
had good hopes of getting a living
and likewise better prospects for

Andthank God my hopes have
not been disappointed• as yet, Audi
I trust you will- find it the same
atter yon > come here a little time.
We are at all times. happy to see
respectable looking settlers com-
ing
ooing into this plaice; and more par-
ticularly Scotch people as we are
very clannish in our own way.
,The land _about here is mostly
sold, but still there is some at no
great distance from this place to
dispose of. The price of bush
land is from 12s., 6d., to 15s. per
acre, and the price of cleared
land about 20 dollars per acre.
Both kinds of land are nearly one
half higher in price than when
we came into thjs country which
is 12 years past last summer
(i.e. 1832). The company sell .their
land in two different ways: by pay-
ing the fifth part of the purchase
money down, and the rest in five
instalments yearly afterwards; and
they also sell it on lease with 10.
to 12 years to pay it, and no money
required down the first year. With-
in the last 12 months many hun-
dreds of acres have been sold in
the above ways upon the Huron
Track (Tract). However, I do not
very much approve of that way of
buying land, but people must do
as they can sometimes, and not as
they would wish to do.
I must next according to your
desire give you some directions on
your way to this boasted land of
liberty. This I will be glad to do
to the best of my knowledge. I
think the passage money across
the Atlantic is lower than when
we came. And I am also inclined
to think the best way is by New
York; and from there to Albany
by steamboat; from Albany to
Rochester by canal boat; from
Rochester to Hamilton by steam-
boat; from Hamilton here, which
is 90 miles, by wagon. The com-
mon rate of paying for a wagon
drawn by two horses and a man
to drive them is one dollar for
every 100 pounds weight. Some can
be hired for less when the roads
are good and the teamsters out of
employ about Hamiltork'
But if there are many of you to
be together, you should go on to
Buffalo on the Erie Canal and
from there to Detroit by steam-
boat. From Detroit go to Port
Sarnia by steamboat or schooner
whichever way is cheapest and
quickest. From Port Sarnia, Gode-
rich is about sixty miles across
Lake Huron. On the lakes they

Wed in Toro n t o
In the Memorial Room of Trin-
ity United Church, Toronto, Rev.
Dr. E. Crossley Hunter united in
marriage at a double -ring evening
ceremony, Rena Eleanor, daughter
of Mrs. Johnston, of Varna, and
the late J. W. Johnston, to Horace
J. Luddington, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Fred Luddington, of Toronto. The
bride wore a frock of sapphire blue
crepe with hat to matoh and cor-
sage of white gardenias. Miss
Janet A. Dunn, Reg.N., of Toron-
to, her only attendant, wore navy
blue with matching accessories and
corsage of red and white carna-
tions, Mr. William Gregg. Toron-
to, was best man. After a dinner
in Toronto, the couple left on a trip
to Northern Ontario, returning by
Varna for a family dinner at the
home of the bride's mother. Sev-
eraltelegrams were received at
the church following their mar-
riage. The couple will reside in
Niagara Falls. 'The bride was en-
tertained at several showers in To-
ronto prior to her marriage.

Kippen Group
Holds Meeting
Friendship Circle met in the Sun-
day schoolroom of the church on
Monday, Feb. 5, with over fifty pre-
sent. Don Kyle was in the chair.
The meeting opened with the sing-
ing of Hymn 465. Mrs. W. Work-
man read the Scripture taken from
Psalm 96 and Mr. Hinton led in
Prayer. The minutes of the last
meeting were read. Mrs. Tom Mun-
ro, Merle Dickert, Mrs. Harold
Jones and Mrs. J. Sinclair were

of duets by Ann and Marie Sin-
clair; recitation by Margie Elgie;
guitar selections by Wayne Mc-
Bride, Doug. Cooper and Jack Bell;
solo by Mr. Hinton, and piano num-
bers by Marie Jarrott and Jack
Caldwell. Mrs. Jarrott conducted
two contests, after which lunch

national anthem closed the meet-
ing.
U.S.A. Import Regulations Amended
It was announced previously that
certain changes in the United
States regulations regarding the
entry of. Canadian livestock into
that country would be effective as
from August 14. These changes
were not implemented for that date
but became effective as from De-
cember 1,(}, The changes follow.
Canadian cattle offered for entry
to the united States need not be
tested for Brucellosis (Bang's dis-
ease), if they are accompanied by
a certificate issued or endorsed by
a veterinarian of the Canadian Gov-
ernment showing they were official
ly vaccinated as calves six to eight
months of age. in accordance with
Canadian Government Regulations,
within 22 months of their being of-
fered for entry to the United
States. The certificate accompany-
ing such vaccinated cattle must
show the date of vaccination of
each animal.
The Government Regulations cov-
er only those cattle which have
been vaccinated, according to the
requirements of the Federal -Pro-
vincial Brucellosis Control Pro-
gram. and cattle which have been
vaccinated under other conditions
will not be accepted for entry to
the United States' without being
blood tested negative to Brucellos-
is. unless they are classed as ani-
mals for which a blood test is not
required, such as cattle for im-
mediate slaughter, steers, or spray-
ed heifers.
The six to eight months age
range for vaccination actually
means that calves may be classed.
as "official vaccinates" if vaccinat-
ed at six months of age, and up to
bat not including nine months of
age.
Canadian poultry exported to the
United States must be accompan-
ied by a certificate of a Canadian
