John Moffat, our indefatigable grain pusher and log roller, has his warehouse pretty well filled although hehas been shipping export grain to Liverpool lately but his prices and dealings draw grain that is to be sold.

Smith of Stanley: He has now in Klppen station yisrd 200,000 feet of logs for this firm to be shipped, This enterprise has been the means cif cir- culating the needful this. winter, Teams and men have been kept busily engaged cutting and drawing out. It worrld make Premier Ross ashamed of his sawmill enterprise in New Ontario. Mr. Robert Morrison and family of the 2nd concession of Stanley have the heartfelt sympathy if their very many friends in the death of his daughter, Mrs. John Parke, Which took place on Wednesday last. Her death was so sudden, only a few days sickness, that the family is grief strick- en, for Mrs. Parke was trona childhood the admiration of all acquaintances for her kind and amiable disposition. We are very sorry to add that Mr. Morri- son is now confined to his bed through blood poisoning, Having bad his toe slightly frost bitten he did not pay any attention more than family care but sinee Wednesday last he has been con - firma to his bed under the doctor's eare. His right foot was terribly inflamed and sniollen and fear was entertained that the inflammation might spread but happily it has been arrested and a •speedy recovery is wished and looked for. It is currently reported net Kippen is to loose one of its best and most sympathetic residents in the person of Rev, 8 A.eheson who has ministered faithfully to his own flock of St. Aodrew's and never neglected his neighbors of outside denominations, whenever or wherever opportunity of- fered in the cause he espoused for The Master's sake. He is an acknowledged authority as a theologian and studious enough to reach the pinnacle. In fact he was consulted as an encyclopedia for his research and resource was the surprising envy of scholarly men. The reVerend gentleman endeared him- self to a large majority of his own con- gregation but to some he was perhaps too straightin the Matter Of dOetrine to suit their individual views and opinions.
