The Echo, published in Jennings, Kansas, reports the following instance of a dog being the means of saving a train from being wrecked :—"Missouri Pacific train No. 100, from Ontaha. was running around a curve in the Cypress yards in Kansas City. In the septi -darkness of early morning the engineer, P. H. Burns, noticed a small yellow dog barking furiously at some- thing on the track ahead. Burns could not see the track ahead around the bend, but he knew theta was a trestle there, so ho stopped the train and investigated. He found that the small yellow dog had probably' pro - vented a wreck. A horse bad wan• dered out on the trestle, got its feet ,cif tangled in the ties and couldn't get out. Barns and his fireman helped the animal nut of its predicament. They eat away parts of the ties, and it was an hour before the train could proceed, Then they looked for the canine hero, thinking at Ieast to give hint a stat on the head or a bone an a reward, but the dogs had disappeared,' FEBRUARY EXAMINATIONS.

These services, which were continued for eight weeks, practically closed on Sunday evening, although with the League service on Monday evening, the regular prayer - meeting on Wednesday, and a service announced for Friday evening, they may be said to continue this week. On Sunday morning a reception ser- vice was held, and in two weeks at similar service will be held. Fifty- four have handed in their names to the pastor with request for member- ship. Some seven or eight of these bring letters of membership from other places, but the most of them seek church privileges as the result of the recent services.

Commenting on advertising in local papers, Mr. Robson, head of the C. P. R. advertising department, says :—"In the first place, I have a very high re- gard for the local paper. Too often its good work for the municipality is overlooked, as week after week it de- votes valuable space gratis for the benefit of the community in which it is located, and, like many other bles- sings, its value, by the unthinking, is not recognized."

When it was found that disease had obtained hold upon her system, she was taken to Gravenhurst Sanitarium, where site occupied "Winghant cot" endowed by the liberality of our citizens, and it was stoped that a cure would be ef- fected, but this hope was not realized, and she returned a few months ago, and gradually grew weaker until the end carne. She leaves a sorrowing husband and five children, who have the sincere sympathy of the communi- ty. The funeral took place on Satur•- clay; Itev. T. S. Boyle conducted the services. Mr. Mann's fellow -workmen in the Upholstering factory marched to the church in procession and sent a beautiful wreath of flowers as a token of their sympathy. Hockey Championship. The return game of the Home and Horne series to decide the champion- ship of the Northern League was played in Harriston on Wednesday last, and resulted in a victory for Wingham on a score of 5 to 4, making the two gauzes tally 14 to 0 in favor of Winghatn. This practically settled the championship, and the Trophy should remain in the possession of Winghatn, but Harriston, sore at their defeat, have protested the game play- ed here, on the ground that while the lights were out, some person poured (art the most) a few buckets of water on the ice. Wingham boys are indig- nant at such at charge and claim that it is false, and they have evidence to back up their claim. The protest is to be heard on Thursday. It will 1* re- membered that on account of the rain and thaw, the ice was sloppy, but Winghaan boys were not responsible for that, and if it was a disadvantage, they suffered from it as well as their opponents. It seems small ground on which to protest the game and yet it is by no means trivial, for the charge is a -serious one against the fair natne of Wingham. Our boys claim they have sufficient evidence to prove that the charge has no foundation. Ilar- riston team desire to have the game played again, possibly in hope of re- versing the big score against then. FOR SAttl.

Ex -Mayor Vanstone's youngest child is very ill. We wish these and any others who are sick, speedy recovery. The Town And Foundry. At present, it looks as if there would be trouble and perhaps litiga- tion between the Towu and the Wes- tern Foundry Co. For the informa- tion of our readers, who may not be conversant with the affair, we give herewith the cause of the trouble, as we understand it. In 1003, the Com- pany wished to extend their trade, and in order to do so, found it neces- sary to increase their facilities. They made a proposition to the Council, to the effect that if the Council would allow them as reduction on the pur- chase price, any amounts they might expend in buildings, etc., up to $6,000, they would go on and erect buildings, improve the plant, etc., and employ 100 hands. That there was some sort of a verbal arrangement to this effect can not be denied, but it was never reduced to writing, and its legality is questioned. However, the Co. went on with the improvements in good faith, on the understanding that the amount they expended would be al- lowed them as reduction of the pur- chase price. Later, the Co. put itt a claim for the amount expended, and on going over the matter, tate Execu- tive reduced the claim to about $5395, as the reduction the Company was en- titled to. Thus the matter has stood and has never been closed. True, the Company has not employed the stipu- lated number of men tneither have other industries in tawni and for this thele was a remedy. The present - ('ouncil do not seem inclines to regard the verbal understanding referred tt•. as having any binding etleet. and seem disposed to force a settlement on the original purchase agreement. Hence the motion on Monday night (see minutes of Council). On Tuesday morning, the Foundry reduced the working force by. 25 men and have given notice to others. We hope yet to see a settlement of the matter that will be equitable, and not only retain but encourage this important indus- try. It is time, however, that the matter was brought to a definite issue and settled, and let Town and Com- pany know just where they stand. \V.tiv'ritn.--A general agent for this vicinity for the `Vestern Real Estate Exchange, of London.
