—The bttiiclers of ocean-going steam-
ers are surpassing all previous efforts.
Last week, abet*giant steamship "Pre-
sident Lincoln" arrived in New York,
and her sister vessel, "President
Grant" will soon be launched, These
mammoth ships will each carry nearly
4,000 passengers, and were built in
Belfast. In size and speed the ocean
greyhounds of to -clay are a marvel,.
—Following close upon the state-
ment made in the General Assembly
of the Presbyterian Church, to the
effect that "Graft was a greater evil
to -day than Intemperance," comes
another jolt to those politicians who
rule in the kingdom of graft. This
time it comes from the Anglican
Synod in session at Ottawa. In mov-
ing a strongly -worded resolution de,
pouncing the immorality and corrup-
tion of the political life of this Domin-
ion, Mr. N. F. Davidson pointed to
the Ottawa Government as the centre
of corruption and demanded a thor-
ough purification of political methods.
It is time the Churches took action.
**
—For debt or damages the neat lit-
tle sum of $1,554,083.94 was paid
through the High, Criminal and Divi-
sion Courts of Ontario during 1000.
Of this $467,038.83 was paid through
the High Court at Ottawa, and $245,-
357.64 through the High Court at To-
ronto. The number of chattel mort-
gages and bills of sale filed amounted
to 11,250, covering a value of $12,158,-
119.28. The renewals during the year
aggregated 5,902 and the discharges
438, There were 191 assignments for
benefit of creditors. Probates were
issued for 4,099 wills, involving $21,-
400,360.89 personalty, and $11,505,008.-
21 realty, The greatest number of
wills were between $1,000 and $5,000,
being 2,204. Over $100,000 there were
only 21. From $10,000 to $25,000 there
were 263, and from $5,000 to $10,000
there were 507. Registrars' fees
amounted to $61,685.63 and judges'
fees $41,851,
—Life insurance companies in Cana-
da suffered from the investigations of
the Insurance Commission last year.
The result is shown in the abstract of
business contained iu the report of W.
Fitzgerald, ,Superintendent of Insur-
ance. The report shows that the lap-
ses of policies issued by Canadian life
companies totaIIed for the year $26,-
800,870, as compared with $22,251,000
for 1005. There was a decrease of
$4,889,79$ in the amountof policies,
new and taken up. British companies
doing business in Canada show an in-
crease of $83,520 in premiums received
and of $590,406in the amount of poli-
cies, new and taken up. American
companies report a decrease of $6,392,-
731 in the amount of new policies as
compared with 1005. The total
amount of new business for all the
companies was $95,205,252, as com-
pared with $105,007,336 for the previ-
ous year.

—The movement from the central
west into western Canada has become
so serious that the Census Bureau 'of
the United States reports that the
middle western states have not gained
in population the last five years, de-
spite the thousand's of new settlers
who have arrived here from the east.
According to the census report, the
outgoing settlers just about balanced
the incoming ones, and the destina-
tion of the outgoing settlers was wes-
tern Canada. Twice last month full
trains were run front this, section to
Canada. One of these went to CaI-
gary, while the other went to Regina.
The men going into Canada from Ne-
braska and Iowa are not those who
have made a failure of life in the
United States and are moving along
hoping for something to "tuns up."
On the other hand, they are the best
farmers in the whole country, and in
most cases have just sold their lands
there and are moving to Canada,
expecting to buy a larger farm than
they had in the States, and this,
too, by using only a portion of the
money for which they sold out.

—The action taken by the Union
committee of the Presbyterian Church
in conjunction with the committees
of the Methodist and Congregational
Churches, has been practically en-
dorsed by the General Assembly, itt
the conclusion of a memorable debate,
when the assembly, by an overwhelm-
ing majority, adopted the motion of
the convener of the committee, Prin-
cipal Patrick, of Winnipeg, adopting
the committee's report. The discus=
sion at times was quite lively, promi-
nent members being both for and
against the projected union. Dr.
Somerville, of Toronto, pointed out
that there were 300,000 people coming
into Canada this year, a number
which was growing every year, and it
was important that the Churches
should be in a position to work
amongst them without overlapping,
and the rivalry that existed in many
places in the West. It was abectrd
that with scarcity of men and money
there should be two minister* of rival
Churches laboring amongst communi-
ties of less than no fatnilie&

fact that this County is entitled to
participate in some measure in the ap-
propriation, towards the payment of
our debenture debt, which was incur-
red largely in the building of gravel
roads.
A motion that municipal clerks sup-
ply only the totals of their assessment
rolls to the county clerk, instead of
the complete roll, was lost. •
On motion it was decided that in
future all accounts must be in the

day preceding the meetings of the
Council otherwise they will not be
considered or passed till the next
meeting; that no motion or applica

vised each one to correspond' With us
if the amount stated is not correct.

tee recommended that the prayer

that the accounts of Parkhill, Lis-
towel, and Hamilton High Schools,
for Huron pupils attending these
schools, be paid. A motion having

ditional was granted to Wingham

an equivalent for the -Legislative
grant.
The Sterling Bank made application

the matter.

year is $72,120, of which $10,000 is for
schools, $25,320 for roads and bridges,
$6,000 each for municipal government,

able it to make a special exhibit of
fruit at, Toronto in November; that a
grant of $20 be made to the Hensall

The report of Donald Patterson,
Road and Bridge. Inspector, recom-
mended the erection of a couple of
new bridges, and repairs to a number
of others.
It was moved by M. McLean, and
seconded by T. McMillan, that the Co.
Engineer be instructed to examine all
the wooden bridges for the mainten-
ance of which the council is respousf-
ble, and report to the council at its
Dec. meeting, the location of each
bridge, the length of time it is likely
to last, and the probable cost of replac-
ing it with a permanent structure.
It was decided that n. by -late passed
in Dee. 1005 relating to county bridges
should prevail. It provides that no

Ever Have Cramps ?
Kind of fierce to be tied up in a knot
at midnight with cramps. Keep Ner-
viline handy. Ten drops quiets
cramps instantly, Used -occasionally
Nerviline prevents this trouble entire-
ly. From Stratford, Ont., Wm, Dee
writes :—"Nothing I know of will
give such relief to cramps, colic or
pain in the stomach as Nerviline, If
you feel squeamish or sick, just ten
drops of Nerviline in water and you're
are well next minute." Think of the
protection and comfort contained in a
25c bottle of Nerviline, and get it to-
day.
