opening of Wingham Hospital,
*inglxatn hospital was opened for the inspection of the public
on'.Chursday last, aafternoon and evening, Visitors front town and
country throng ed the building, all expressing themselves pleased
with the bedding, its arrangements, furnishings, etc. Members of
the Ladies' Auxiliary were to be found in the various rooirts, to
give infor'nration as to the furnishings, etc. The Citizens' Band
furnished a good programme of music during the evening.
r
Tho building is as three story brick, and had, when purchased
by the Hospital Board, twenty-two rooms, It has been re -arranged
and renovated, aand now seems to lie admirably tadaapted for the
purpose. The situation, in an elevated, quiet, and yet accessible
part of the town, is most suitable.
Wingham being centrally located, and having excellent railway
facilities, seems to be a suitable centre for such an institution.
Besides, its distance from any other hospital would indicate the
necessity for one here,
There are at present thirteen beds r'eaday for the reception of
patients. The rooms are light and airy, 'lhe building is electric
li *hted an
[, , d catch fiait is fitrntshed `villi water)vorlcs facilities,
closets, etc. There is also an opening for an elevator', but the
installation of this convenience is deferred for the present. The
whole building is heated with hot water and very comfortable.

sone years ago, his daughter, Lina,
received injuries to one leg by falling
off a fence. Since going west, she has
been worse, and recently was obliged
to go to the hospital and undergo the
aunputation of the limb. It is an un-
fortunate thing for the young girl.

The Estimated Cost.
In the House of Commons a short
time ago, Mr. Arutstrong, M. P. for
East Lambton, asked concerning the
cost of certain public buildings. Hon.
Mr. Fisher, in.replying, quoted among
other buildings the new postofce in
Winghann and gave the estimated cost
at $31,000, but stated that (at the
time) it was not yet finished. Clin-
ton's postoflice, lMr•. Fisher said, cost
520,015, and the cost of maintenance
wars $746.01. Wingham's postoffice
not being at that time completed, the
cost of maintenance could not be
given.
Got Fifteen Months.
Oscar W. Rinker of Gerrard street,
'Toronto, must pay the penalty of his
misdeeds in the Central. He pleaded
guilty to taking $40 fiotn Thomas Mc-
Lean, of Wingham, and was given
fifteen months. Rinker was also
charged with endorsing the name of
H. Hyde to a promissory note signed
by R. Rinker•, and negotiating it. The
jury found the evidence insufficient in
the first instance, but brought in a
verdict of guilty on the second connt.
Justice Anglin sentenced the prisoner
to fifteen months for each charge, the
sentences to run concurrently.

The Transgressors' Way.
That ""the way of the transgressor is
hard" has been once morn proven true.
It appears that on the evening of the
21st, the defendants made themselves
obnoxious by getting into a row at
the National Hotel, where they
seriously assaulted Edward King.
The first charge laid was heard on Fri-
day Iatst, by Police Magistrate Mor-
ton. The result was that Howard
Finlay was fined $5 and $2.85 costs for'
profane swearing ; Jas. H. Finlay and
Joseph Finlay were each inuletecl in
the same atmounts for grossly insult-
ing language. These changes were
laid by a Mr. Hanson. The assault case
was leard by the Police Magistrate on
r
Y
lu sda of thtA ve k with t ne rest It
e e t t
that Jas. H. Finlay wes fined $2, and
$6.30 costs ; Joseph Finlay was fined
$10, and $1.3f) costs, and Howard
was committed to Goderich gaol for
one month, onel must pay $0.30 costs,
Very seldom do such disgraceful
scene,:, ars this row was, occur in our
town. It is hoped that the offenders
will take warning rind do better. Men
reap what they Sow, and it pays to
sham the evil anel aulltere to the gond.
The way of the transgressor is har il,
says the good Book.

time as predicted by Prof. Hicks. Ho
intimated also that it would be fol-
lowed by a ""wicked, cold wave" and
r u e th s

posed to be on the alert, This is
brought to mind by reading in the

Yl P , on
parts of the west, herds have suffered
severely; one despatch says 25 per
cent. will die, For the first half of
February, there will be many dis-
turbing causes at work. Hicks warns
us to look for storm conditions culmi-
nating about 3rd, 4th, 5th, with change
to blizzardous weather, and by the
7th a severe, cold wave. Look for a
prolonged and greatly intensified
storm period between the 7th and the
12th. -`he 10th, 11th and 12th will
probably bring the culmination of
what we will call a series of danger
days in this period. Torrential rains
will fill the streams and rivers, in all
tobabilit reci itat'
p i y p pi ing ice gorges
and dangerous overflows and floods
during and following this period,
many sections northward will suffer
from blizzarcls, sleet storms and block -
rides at this time, and a general cold
wave will reach most parts of the
country frons about the 12th to the
15th. a rhe 12th is the central day of
a period of five to seven days in which
rnarty earthquake shivers will be re-
ported in extremes of the globe.

The following is a le ai report of
the case of Brown vs. Du inage, which
is of local interest. Mr, Dulmage, the
defendant being a resident of Wing -
ham :—
Brown vs. Dnlinage,—E. L. Dickni-
son, Goderich, for defendant, appeaI-
ed from report of the Master in Or-
dinary, dated Dec. 7th, 1900. F. E.
Hodgins, K. 0., for plaintiff, contra.
The defendant sold a stock of goods to
the plaintiff, e.nd received from the
plaintiff 51,000 on account thereof.
Subsequently the plaintiff brought
this action to be released from this
contract and for return of the 51,000
paid, but failed to obtain judgment to
that effect, but obtained judgment re-
ferring to the Master to take as
counts. 'The defendant thereupon
gave notice of his intention and pro-
ceeded to sell the goods to realize his
vendor's lien for unpaid purchase
money. The master took the ac-
counts between the parties and found
the damages to which the plaintiff en-
titled, estimating thein at $907.80, and
directed defendant to pay the costs
of the reference. Front this finding
defendant now appeatled on several
grounds. -Appeal allowed and report
set aside and judganent for the de-
fendaant for 5207.31, together• with de-
fendant s casts f
o defence, including
the costs of reference and of this ap-
peal, to be paid by the plaintiff within
sixty days, and on this being done the
defendant is to deliver possession of
the goods the subject of the a.gree-
anent now in the possession of the de-
fendant. In • default of payment
as aforesaid, action dismissed with
costs.

In probably the fastest game of
hockey ever played on Wingham rink,
Mt. Forest stepped into first place by
defeating the local. hockey players on
Friday night, the score being 0 to 3 in
favor of the visitors. Mount Forest
team, accompanied by 300 supporters,
arrived in town by special train at 8
o'clock, and it was nearly 8.30 when
Referee Chas. Rankin of Stratford
called the teams together. Mt. Forest
presented a line-up of all "hired" men
and in practice looked very formidable
but the supporters of the green and
white Iittle thought their favorites
would go down to defeat, even at the
]rands of the visitors who were
brought in front all corners of the
country. Ttte game started fast and
furious, and Wingham landed first
goaal. It looked as if t:he home team
was going to win, but Mt. Forest soon
tied the score, then Fleming soon
forced Wingham ahead by a shot
from centre, and although the shots
hit the bar anti posts and the oal
minder meaty times, they fabled to
pierce the goal. Mt•. Forest notched
two before half bine, the last being
scored after tune was up but allowed
by 'Referee Rankin, The second half
was mostly Mt. Forest, wlto scored
two goals to the locals one, and the
gg arae ended 6 to 3 in favor of Mount
F'orest. Foe the visitors, i1Ic0ullougli

watrd line, 1"'or the locals, Elliott and
I"'leming on the forward line, showed
fine form, and McGillivray. as rover,
played a hard game, but the defence
seemed to have aan "off night," any
easy shots beating theut. Referee
