Fatal Accident in Colborne. A fatal accident occurred in the township of Colborne, near Goderich, on Friday, when Henry Butt, a pion- eer resident of the township, in some unaccountable way, was pitched head foremost out of his wagon, alighting on his head and breaking his neck. He was over 70 years of age, and, with his family, took a leading part in Church and musical services in his neighborhood. For The Harness. The Government harness dressing is said to be made as follows :—One gatd- lon neatfoot oil, two pounds bayberry tallow, two pounds beeswax, two pounds beef tallow. o Put the above o 1 v. in a pan over a moderate fire.

T. Holmes, Whitechurch. Wingham High School. We feel justified in using this head- ing, as the movement for establishing such an institution in this town has so far been successful in all its stages. The people approved of the project, and the property -owners by their bal- lots expressed a desire for a High School. Last week, at the County Council, the Education Committee re- commended the establishment of the School in Wingham, and the County Council did its part by passing the necessary By-law, and appointing tiaras of the Trustees—J. A. Morton, W. F. VanStone and Jno, Wilson. The next step will be for the Town Council to appoint three more Trus- tees, which will probably be done at the next meeting of the Council. The School Board has the appointment of the seventh Trustee. Wingham High School Board will then meet for organization, and proceed to the busi- ness for which they have been ap- pointed. Death From A Blow. The death of a young roan in Wood- stock on Friday last as the result of a blow from a hockey stick emphasizes the necessity of carefulness in this popular game. Stanley Wright, the young man referred to, received a blow in the abdomen front a player's "stick" while playing a game of hoc- key recently, No serious results were feared at first, but after two days' suf- fering the young man died on Friday afternoon from the effects of the blow. He was seventeen years of age. In the excitement of a closely -contested game, players sometimes become reck- less and forget that a thoughtless blow may unintentionally cause severe injury to an opponent, or perhaps be the means of his death, as in this case. Another Fatal Accident. Only a few weeks have passed since we had to report the death of Coun. Coupland of Tnrnberry, as the result of an accident that befell him while working in the bush. This week we have to record another death, in the same township, caused by a similar accident. On Friday last, Robert Wood, of concession 8, Turnberry, and Andrew Leggatt were engaged working in the woods on the faun of John B. Hardy, a neighbor. They had felled a tree that lodged in a smaller one, bending the latter over. The fallen tree, however, finally fell to the ground, releasing the smaller tree. This tree sprang back with such force that a large limb was broken off and hurled in the direction of the tato men, who were standing only a few feet apart. The limb struck Mt: Wood on his head, also breaking sev- eral ribs and crushitig one of his legs. Mr. Leggatt at once lifted the limb, and summoning Mr. Hardy, who was not far off, they set the injured man by a tree and hastened for assistance. Though conscious to the last, Mr. Wood lived only about half an hour. Deceased was an honest, hard work- ing lain, and obliging neighbor. Ife was tuunarried and resided with his 1 . �. n The ssl 8 h c tnc,e o • on the t brothers funeral took place on Sunday last and was largely attended.

Encouraging Indeed. The Markdale Standard has this to say of a young man raised in Tnrn- berry township :—"Mr. F. I. Powell, who has been incumbent of Christ Church has met with splendid en- couragement front the congregation, and is drawing largo crowds to his services. Last Sunday evening the church was packed to its utmost capacity and the large congregation listened attentively to his edifying discourse. D'Ir•. Powell has so won himself into the hearts of his people that all hope for him an enduring in- cumbency in the town."

Sparling were "At Home" to a number of their friends on Saturday last from 0 to 10 p.m. It was the occasion of the thirty-sixth anniversary of their mar- riage, and Mr. and Mrs. Sparling re- ceived many bouquets of congratula- tions and kind wishes for their future happiness. After a tastily -served tea, the evening passed delightfully, in music, social conversation, etc. Thirty-six years have not passed with- out bringing with them their quota of trial and sorrow, as well as of joy and prosperity. The Adance hopes that many years of happy married life are yet in store for Mr. and Mrs. Sparling, notwithstanding life's un- certainties. A Destructive Pest. The Guelph Herald says :—"At a meeting of the Guelph Entomological Society held at the Ontario Agri- cultural College on Wednesday, many interesting facts about the 17 -year locust, or Acacia, were brought out by J. R. Dickson, of. the senior year. The life history of this insect is such that it requires 17 yea's for develop- ment. Another family, almost identi- cal in nature, develops in thirteen years. There is, however, a brood in each family for each year, so no year passes without locusts, and in each family there is one very numerous brood, occurring every 17 or 13 years, according to the family to which it belongs. When these broods occur together, the strong one of both the 17 and 13 year families, as happens every 214 years, there is almost a plague. The last occasion was in 1808, the next will be in 2082. The year 1907 will be a very strong ono for this insect. It has not been found in On- tario yet, although quite common in New York and Michigan.

Old Resident Gone. The familiar figure of Thomas Abra- htun will be seen upon the streets of Wingham no more. After an illness of three or four months, he passed away on Friday last, in his seventieth year. Deceased was a native of Ire- land, and was born in the county of Fermanagh, near a town called Pedi- goe. His mother died while lie was quite young, and his father married again and removed, so that at 14 years of age, Thomas found himself out on ,the wide, wide world, to make his own living. An uncle, living in Paris, Ont., sent for him, and in 1850 he came to Canada to stake his home with his uncle. There he learned the shoemaking trade. When quite a young ratan, he married Bessie Bolden, Who preceded him to tine spirit land about three years ago. Mr. Abraham came to Wingham in its early days and was a resident forforty-two years. He had been a member of the School Board for nearly twenty years, and nntil his recent illness was only known to be absent once from the meetings of the Boarcl. As an acknowledge- ment of his faithfulness, he was re- elected in January last, although it was generally conceded that his days nearly ended. He was an enthusiastic Orangeman, a Conservative in polities and it, member of St. Paul's Church. The funeral on Sunday was very largely attended, L. O.

Hand Concert, The Balla Concert is dated for Fri- day evening of this week, and we understand that an excellent program is being prepared, As the admission is only 10 cents, this worthy organiza- tion should have a full house, See programs, A Dry Summer. A well-known scientist in the old land, says there is no question that Western Europe weather is closely re- lated to a large system of weather change which exists between the Eastern and Western Hemispheres, and these two hemispheres behave al- ways in an opposite manner. If one region is excessively wet, the other is extremely dry, or if one region is colder than usual, the other is warm- er. If this theory is well founded a dry time is due in America next summer, as an offset to the drought in Central Europe last year. is Doing• Well. Tho Weekly Journal of China and Glass trade in the United States, pub- lished in Pittsburg, has this to say of Chas. L. Kerr, son of Mr. Bradshaw Kerr of Wingham :—"An announce- ment of considerable interest to the glass trade was made this week to the effect that Chas. L. Kerr will leave the road and take charge of the New York office of Gillinder & Sons. Mr. Kerr, who has represented the Phila- delphia concern in the capacity of travelling salesman f,-tr about four years, is one of the most popular knights of the grip. Genial at all times, and never too busy to give a pleasant word, "Charley" has made a distinct success of the vocation which he has been following for some time past. He is thoroughly acquaint- ed with the glass business and knows his end of the trade from A to Z. Mr. Kerr is still a young man and his pro- motion at this time demonstrates be- yond a doubt that he has "made good" in every sense of the word. He was for some years with Gowans, Kent & Co., the large crockery wholesalers of Toronto. With Mr. Kerr will go the sincere wishes of a legion of friends, who are thoroughly confident that he will make an undoubted success in his new undertaking." Wingham Defeats Palmerston. The first home Hockey game of the season, in the Northern League, was played here ou Friday evening, be- tween Wingham and Palmerston. As Wingham had only defeated this team on a score of 3-2 in Palmerston, the game was looked forward to with some doubts as to the results. The game was called at 7.30 to allow the players to attend the entertainment in the Town Hall, and there was a large attendance. The teams lined up thusly : Wingham--Moore, Wilson, Johnston, Galloway, McLean, McGilli- vray and Elliott. Palmerston—Bul- ger, Burns, Viellie, Delano, Root, Lawrence and Hinton. Referee Mc Gillivray of Mt. Forest gave the signal at 7.45 and the play began. Very soon Wingham scored from near cen- tre, Galloway making the sure shot. Shortly after, another pretty lift land- ed safely, and the crowd cheered for the boys in green and white as Elliott and McLean each landed another goal, making the score 4-0. Wingham de- fence so far had little to do, but just now the puck came from behind the goal, and Delano was equal to the occasion and landed it in the net. This was the only score made by the visitors in the first half, as Wilson and Johnston safely stopped all rush- es, and the latter either captured the Tuan or the rubber, and the first half ended 0-1 in favor of Wingham. The second half was a repetition of the first, the home team making the goals quickly. The fun commenced by Johnston corning full length of the rink, passing to McLean, who shot and hit the goal -tender ; Johnston caught the puck on the rebound and scored. Wingham defence then grew careless. Root, on the visiting team, got hurt, and Wilson went off to even up. Four goals were then won by the visitors, Viellie and Delane being the scorers. Wingham was in no danger of defeat, as Galloway, Elliott and McLean, assisted by McGillivray sent shot after shot on goal, Hinton, for Palmerston, started a rush down the ice from Palmerston end, and came into collision with McGillivray and had to retire, "Jimmy" going off to even up. With five men on each side, the game lost interest and ended with a score of 10 to 5 in favor of Wing - Nun, The boys wish to thank the citizens for their patronage. They play at Mt. Forest on Feb. 2nd, and a win there makes thein sure of a tie, at least. Harriston plays here on Feb. 9th, and this will be a lively game, as t. the in on it clsendsu 1 tate Northern League, which Wing - ham now holds. The boys of Wing - ham team will appreciate any wart's of encouragement, and large attend- ance at their games.

The young lady was driving home, after attending Knox Church, Goderich, when the horse kicked for some cause, striking the unfortunate young lady twice and causing her to fall out of the buggy. She uttered a cry, managed to walk to the side of the road and there fell dead. Miss Lamprey was well known, and much esteemed, and the sacs occurrence is a shock to the com- munity. Obituary Poetry. %Ve have on hand et present two pieces of rhyme written on the death of respected individnals. We cannot publish them in their present form, and the writers will please call and put thein in proper shape for appear- ing in print. We can not do this, for it is sometimes difficult to know just what "thought" the writer of the rhyme intends to convey. We have no objection to publishing poetry of real merit, but those we refer to must he considerably changed before we can admit then to our columns, and we have not the time to make these changes. Neither does the editor con- sider himself a poet. Literary Society.

February Predictions. For February, Rev, Irl Hicks pre- diets as follows :—A cold wave begin- ning in the latter part of January will be apt to spread over the country from the tad to the 5th, By the 6th, look for a change to warmer with pos- sibly rain, wind, and it may be thun- der, from 7th to IOth, with the crisis touching the Oth, turning to sweeping snow and blizzards front the north- west. These storms will scarcely dis- appear, but threatening and stormy weather will, in all probability, con- ihnue into the reactionary period, cen- tral on the .12th and 13th. This period may also be counted on for heavy snow and blizzards --some of the hard- est of the winter—over much of the country composed of central and nor- thern states. A general and genuine cold wave will wind up the general perturbations. A regular storm per•iocl r10th to the 20th having fallsthe o i its center on the 17th. There is every reason to believe that some of the 'hardest storms and most severe wea- ther for the winter, will set in at this period and continue with little inter- missions, for the remainder of Febrn- airy anti into March. A regular storm period begins on the '27th and has its center on Ma.eln the 1st. A disturbed if not stormy state of weather will lead up to this period, but about tine :2'3tlr these conditions will increase into marked intensity, causing many active storms during the opening days , of March. ocai Mems Wear Greer's Shoes and Rubbers.

The churchivan in the course of the collection, passed this man the box. The other pushed it away with a sneer on his face.
