UPS AND DOWNS IN LIFE. -The Acton Free Press says: When a person gets up in yeare ho can look back upon a past of ups and downs, of the bitter and sweet. He can no doubt remem- ber of his childhood days and of his compauions, how they used to play to - gather, but now how ruany of them are laid away. It is the same in business. Some men, though having little or nothing at the beginning of their career have their names a household word in Lime, but only by pluck, skill, patience and perseverance. S!LvE1tMEDALS .-With a view of en. couraging Public school pupils iu their work, the editor of the Brussels Post offers two silver medals for competition as follows :-No. 1, to the pupil taking the highest percentage in the monthly written examinations in Principal Cameron's department, marks to be counted frotu January 1st until the midsummer examination is over.

Death. --Mrs. John Bell passed to her reward on the 5th inst. l'he lady had been hovering between life and death for some time. In life tho late Mrs. Bell was a Christian lady end beloved by all who knew her. She leaves an affectionate and kind husband and a family of small children. The funeral took place last Wednesday at Blyth, and was largely attended considering the weather. Mrs. Bell was born in Guern- sey on Sept. 13th, 1846. 1n April, 1873, at Dover, Eug., Mr. $ell and the deceas- ed were united in marriage and the couple emigrated to Canada and took up their residence in Blyth. Pev.'1'. E: 11igley conducted the funeral service in 'Trinity Church and the interment took place at the English burying ground. The heartfelt sympathy of the entire community is extended to Mr. Bell and family in their severe and ire reparable affliction. DEATH OF A PIONEER -Thomas Hill, a Mullett pioneer, is dead. His age was 73 years. Ile had been ailing l'or a weak or two, but the end was not so soon expected. Bleediug at the nose was the immediate eauee of death. The funeral will take place to Clinton cemetery to day at 2.30. The late Thomas Hill emigrated from Wexford county, Ireland, about the year 1842 and settled in Darlington, Out., near Oshawa, where he married his slrrviv- ing partner, a Miss McIntyre. Over 30 years ago Mr. Hill removed to and settled on the farm where he died. Of course Hullett at that time was a comparative wilderneea. Mrs. Hill and a family of three eons and four daughters survive -W. T., near Clin- ton, James of Londesboro, and John who is still at home ; Mrs. Chas. Baker is a daughter, while Mary Jane, Maggie and Martha remain on the homestead. In politics the late Mr._ Hill was a Conservative and for many years an Episcopalian in religion. Thus one by nue we are passing to eternity. A GREAT SEASON FOR MAPLE SUGAR. -"Unless I am greatly mistak en," said an old settler yesterday, "the coming apring will be a great season for maple sugar making. It is well known to those who have engaged in that business that a good season al- ways follows a winter that furnishes abundance of cold weather. The maple sap is always sweeter after a period of intense frost, and furnishes a larger percentage of sugar. Not only that, but the trees yield a larger quan- tity of sap after a cold winter than they do after a winter that has frequent thaws and periods of warm weather. The snow in our woods is very doop, and unless lemar•kable Warm weather should come it will be on the ground until, well along in April. There is such an immense body of it that sugar snaking will not commence until late iu the season, but when we get at 1t we shall make mor of the toothsome swept than wo have made before iu years.

His two sons, W. and II., we believe, have been offered good situa- tions and will accompany him. THE PRESS. -Brous has a Press Association and there is great need tot for it.

POSTAGE ON INVITATION CARDS. - Friday's Toronto News has the follow. ing : Hamilton has just played a very low trick on 'Toronto. This was done by informing the Dominion postal authorities that the Toronto postoffice officials were in the habit of allowing invitation cards to weddings, parties, balls, etc., to pass through for one cent postage, which is the rate for printed circulars mailed in envelopes. Be twoen the printed circular and invi• tation card there is a very narrow lino. The only writing on the card is the name of the person to whom it is sent and that cannot very well be printed. Thera is euppoeed to be no writing in circular matter, but this slight in fringement has been overlooked throughout the country. It was the Hamilton postoffice authorities that sent the information against Toronto to Ottawa. As a result an order arrived to day from the Postmaster• General that all invitation cards in the future must have a three cent stamp on the envelope. Town Topics.
