Mr Kerr, Henfryn, had the misfor- tune to meet with a very serious acci- dent last week.

John Common, of McKillop died on Monday last after a very brief illness. Deceased had reached the advanced age of 80 years.

Thomas Forsyth's residence, Kippen, had a narrow escape from fire, a few days ago, caused by a defective chim- ney. By the assistance of James Mc- Lean, the fire was extinguished. Mr Forsyth was at the school at the time, and but for Mr McLean, Mr Potsyth might have found himself without a house on his return home. Last Wednesday, James Campbell, of Grey, while attending a wedding. had the misfortune to have his house and contents destroyed by fire. A number Of friends afrd neighbors turned out and canvassed the bordering conces- sions to give him a helping hand, and a very liberal subscription was taken up. His house was insured for $400. The few of the very early set'lera who are still left will remember Mr Patrick Mc Grath, one of the pioneers of that part of the township continions to Egtnondvllle.

Ile does not know how else they could get the money, as hie clothes were hanging close to his bead. MISSIONARY LIFE. The 24th ANNUAL REPORT A CANADIAN IN INDIA. The following extraote from private letter written by Mr Priest, a Canadian on the Indian mission field, to his father-in- law, Mr W. Robb, of Clinton, will be read with interest: Sending and reoeiving home letters is one of the chief features of the week here. The morning when the home mail Domes, the postman is assured of a warm welcome, that is if he bringe home letters, for you must know that we are that maolll ahead of Clinton -our mail is delivered. That's no so Hieland is it? One thing we cannot complain of is the rate of postage in this country. You oan send a letter from any place to India to any other plane in the same country for half an dune, that is a little less than one cent, A bicycle is a most wonderful curiosity here, but to see a lady riding on a wheel is still more so. The most of my time is spent grinding away at the language. It is slow work,but still it is coming on. From five to five and a -half hours a day are spent with my munsbi. He's rather an interesting fellow, about 26 years old, good as munahis gene- rally go, .but lacking in teaching ability. Most of them lack in that particular. He is a Brahmin, and of course, with the Brahmin's, wisdom live and dies with themselves. We have some interesting discussions. The day betore yesterday we had rather a lengthy one, on former births, he taking the Brahmin position, that all deformity and suffering is the result of sin in a former birth. When yon press for a definition and explanation of sin you get him hopelessly in the mud. One of the hardest tasks that the missionary has to do is to get into the minds of this people any adequate idea of sin. I have had quite a time with my munehi wanting leave so often. At one time he wanted a bedf day's holiday. I discovered afterwards it was to perform a religious rite, which consisted simply and solely in feeding the crows. At another time he got two days' holiday, that he might join in the celebration of their great feast. At this feast they think the spirits of their ancestors are present, and to please them each family or two families will select a Brahmin and feed him with the best they oan command. Last week be was off for the whole week, to perform the necessary religione rites .on .the anniversary el his father's death, and also joining in the celebration of the marriage of his brother. They believe thatea man's life is divided into five parts. At death three of these parte leave the body, ten days after death the fourth part takes ite departure, and it is not until one year from death that the fifth and last part leaves. The work ou the Tani field is enoourag- ing at present, prospects never seemed so bright for a long time. Last Monday I baptized three; ten others were to bave Dome in for baptism, from a village ten miles out, bat they were held back by the threats of the heathen. We expect they will Dome the first of next month. The need is appaling. Imagine 140,000 people in your pariah. There are five native preachers, three of them are A 1 men, the other two are practically nselees. It is in work like thia where a man feels his utter helplessness in himself, and bis utter de- pendence on the divine. A Cht)nge Needed. This is what the Montreal Witness says about the present government: - "The whole country is verysick of the present weak and vacillating govern- ment, which throws the responsibility of action in embarassing cases line the Manitoba conference and the Shortie commutation upon the Governor-Gene- ral, and it is weary of the present par- liament, which has done little but mark time since Sir John McDonald died. There are dozens of questions which it bas fooled with, which remain unsettled. There is the Manitoba school trouble, the scheduling of Cana- dian cattle, the copyright act, the New- foundland question, the bankruptcy hill, the customs appraisement and re- form question, the pretty fast Atlantic service, the Hudson's Bay Railway, the preferential colonial customs system which Sir Mackenzie Bowell boomed before he became premier, and a great many other matters which have -been taken up by the Government, and al- lowed to fall throngb, or remain in ab- eyance. The Government has been do- ing little but quarrelling; its party has suffered disruption and division, and is now more or less disorganized, and the country has lost not only confidence in it bol patience with It. It is lir be he. ped, in the Interests of the business of the country, as well as the manage- ment of its affairs, that the end is near, and that the electors will be given a chance to elect a parliament which will restore order and vigor to the adminis- tration of public affairs, relieve the business of the country from the evil effects of the paralysis of government., and enable the Dominion to make some progress towards prosperity and development.

CELEBRATION. -There is seemingly no good reason why a 24th of May celebration should not be- gotten up here and made an anneal affair, if taken bold of by stbme good active citizens or several of the local clubs, hut if the town council made a grant toward this object, it would likely re- ceive a rap over the knuckles from the same source that is now urging it. OP as Confederation Lite Association A PROSPEROUS YEAR AN INCREASED VOLUME OF NEW BUS- INESS WRITTEN -A VERY FAVOR- ABLE DEATH RATE -A REDUCED EXPENSE RATE -INCREASES IN As - SETS, INCOME AND SURPLUS. The annual meeting of the Confed- eration Life Association was held at the Head Office of the Company, Yonge, Richmond and Victoria streets, Toronto, on Tuesday. There was a good attendance of policyholders, shareholders and members of the agency staff. The Report and Financial State- ments relating to the business of the company for the year 1895 were sub- mitted as follows: - REPORT. During the past year the Directors have had under consideration 2,540 applications for insurance to the atnount of 413,736,150. This includes five applications for $8,000, which were deferred at the close of 1894, 2,389 tor $3,474,150 were approved, while 134 for $230,000 were declined, not bein' up to the standard; and 17 for $32, were incomplete at the close of the re- gister and were deferred. Adding to the above issue the revived policies of previous years, which had been a rit- ten off, and the bonusditio s ad n ,the total issue for 1895 was 2,421 policies for 53,544,920. The total buslhess on thebooks at the close of the year was 526,611,718, under 17,590 polities on 15,- 413 lives. From this it will be seen that, though the year was unfavorable for the life insurance business, and many companies fell behind' in the volume of new business as compared with the previous year, and while the total insurance written by all the com- panies for the year is a good deal less, we have been able to maintain an equal volume with a lesser expenditure by several thousand dollars than in 1894. Theclaims by death were 107, calling for $171,847 ander 121 policies. In view of the amount at risk, it will be ob- served that the death -rate was very favorable, a feet which bears continu- ed strong testimony to the care exer- cised in the admission of only good, healthy lives. The Financial Statements which form part of the report will be tound to furnish full information regarding the position of the Association. The past year, on account of the continued and intensified commercial depression, called for more than usual care in conducting a business such as ours, combining insurance and invest- ment; it cannot, therefore, fail to be a source of gratification to our policy- holders and shareholders to observe the veru substantial advances made in all those features which indicate real progress and careful management. Some of these are:s-- lst-Maintaining an equal volume of new business and carrying on the -old with a total expenditure over four thousand dollars less than in 1894. 2nd-Tnci•etisedincome. s 3rd -Increased Assets. - 4th -Increased Surplus, notwith- standing the payment to policyholders during the year of over $87,000 in profits. These facts will prove'the wisdom of the policy pursued by your Direc- tors and Management to secure a fair volume of business at a fair cost. The business teas been sought for on strictly business principles, and means unfor• tunately too frequently used to pro- cure applications, such as rebates, are strictly prohibited. The report of the Auditors, who have continued to give regular and careful attention to their duties, will be found appended to the report. It is a source of deep regret that we have to announce the death, since the completion of the audit for the past year. of Mr Wm. E. Watson, F.C.A., who has intelligently and faithfully discharged the duties of joint auditor for a period of six years, Your Directors are pleased to report that the Office and Field Staff continue to discharge their respective duties in a zealous and efficient manner. All the Directors retite, but are eli- gible for re-election. W. P. HOWLAND, President. J.K. MACDONALD, Man. Di rector. FINANCIAL STATEMENT. Receipts.

The securities represented in the as- sets (with the exception of those lodged With the Dominion Government, amountingto $84,500, and those de- posited wth the Government of New- foundland, amounting to $25,000, have been examined and compared with the books of the Asscciation and are cor- rest rind correspond with the schedules and ledgers. The bank balance and cash are cer- tified as correct. W. R. HARRIS, WM. E. WATSON, Auditors. ;„Toronto, February 27th, 1896. The President, Sir W. P. Howland, in moving the adoption of the report end statement submitted, said: -It is a matter of sincere satiefactjon to thotle on whom you have imposed the duty and responsibility of conducting and managing the affairs of this ftnjldrt- ant company -tet be able to place be- fore you, eontiidering the unfavorable cireumetances which attended the busi- ness for the past year, statements which give evidence of fair and reason- able progress and improvement in every branch of the company's busi- ness. The new business obtained amounted to $3,554.920, showing a fair increase over Geist of 1894. Our income for 1895 was $1,062,642, showing an in- crease over the previous year of $59,- 328; we also show an increase in as- sets of $453,605. Our total surplus se- curity for policyholders at the end of the year was $1,334,254, an increase of $32,1181, besides having paid, as stated in the repot t, over $87,000 in profits to policyholders. The foregoing results have been obtained under most unfavorable con- ditions and in the face of keen com- petition. The progi ess made in all branches of the company'e business should prove,' think, not only satisfac- tor to its policyholders. and share- holders, but furniehes striking proof of the careful management and ap- plication on the part of those who are charged with the responsible duties of managing its affairs. Furthermore, it proves the favorable position which the company occupies in the minds of the public. The general agent for this prosper- ous company for Huron and Perth is Mr Wm. Taylor, of Clinton, and the local agent is Mr Israel Taylor, either of whom will be pleased to furnish any information. ORDER OF CHOSEN FRIENDS. The ninth annual meeting of the Grand Council of the Canadian Order of Chosen Friends was held in Toronto, on Tuesday. Most fraternal organizations, as well as other financial institutions, admit that the past year has been one of great depression and that the most, careful management has been neces- sary in order to make both ends meet, yet, the Canadian Order of Chosen Friends, appears to have been most successful. During the year 2,700 approved ap- plications were received, and 65 new councils organized, the total member- ship at the end of the year being 11,- 369, composed of 8,636 males and 2,733 females; the net amount of insurance carried by the same is $14,460,250. There was collected during the year in the relief fund department $101,798.92; 65 deaths took place in the order on which were paid the sum of $73,500. The total amount paid out in death claims and benefits since organization amounts to over $250,000. The reserve fund of the order has reached to over $100,000, of which stun $50,000 has been invested in Dominion Government stock. There were only five calls in the_eick benefit department fur the year. From the Grand Recti.dee's ie port it is shown that there are now 342 subordinate councils in the organ- ization, with a membership of over 12,000. Since the beginning of the year there have been fourteen new councils organized and the prospects for the future of the society are very encouraging, NEWS NOTES.

The child was standing in the back door, when the door sudden- ly blew shut, knocking the child with great force to the ground, a distance of six feet. Her head carne in contact with a piece of wood, and she was picked up apparently lifeless by the mother, and carried into the house, where she lay in an unconscious con- dition for some time. After consider- able working the child was restored to consciouenese. An examination of the child's head showed it to be ser- iously inured.

Mr John Orchard, an old and pro- minent resident of Niagara Falls South, is dead. A motion to amend the superannua- tion system was voted down in the Dominion Parliament, Friday. A 15 -year-old boy in St. Thomas at- tempted suicide by taking Paris green, but a doctor saved his life. A Conservative meeting in Mon- treal, called to ratify the candidature of Mayor Wilson Smith for the Com- mons' resulted in a couple of fights, and the police had to be called in. It is intended, if arrangements of a suitable character can be completed, to have one of the greatest Scottish field days ever held in Ontario at Brantford on Aug. 10.

The Grand Trunk announces a num- ber of changes in its staff. Mr W. E. Davis is the new Passenger and Ticket Agent, and the Chicago line is to be operated from Montreal. Tax Collector Perryl of Woodstock, Says the work of getting in the ar- rears of taxes is very hard this year. Neither N. P. nor Remedial Bill seems to help the poor fellows who have not a hand in the public treasury. Thirty years ago Mrs R. Great, of Topeka, was bitten by a rattlesnake; the wound healed and no more trouble was experienced, till a week ago when the wound broke out afresh, and the doctors admit, they cannot save her. The Kincardine Review (Con.) asks: -'What is there so very precious anout the Bowelt Administration any- way? Their frequent bunglings and blunderiggs have made their friends sick and tired of them. It would be impossible to got another collection of seventeen men who could mismange affairs so faithfully as Premier Ho- well's Cabinet has done in the past year." Home Seekers' Excursions.
