Smith, immigration cont- niissioner, states that 40,000 iinmi- grants from the United States camp into Canada during ten months of the year, 4000 b,y public roads, 42,000 by railways and no less than 30,000 land - seekers not included in the other figures, also went through western Canada. -Not many people realize the heavy death roll for which, in the course of a year, the various ships which tare posted as "missing," are re- sponsible. Last year 34 vessels were lost at sea from some unknown cause, and it was computed that these losses had entailed the drowning of about 400 seamen. -There are 880 Indians belonging to the reserve and receiving government pay at Chippewa H111. Two-thirds of Ow deaths on the reserve during the past year were due to consumption. There are exactly the scone number of Indians on the Cape evoker reserve, making the Indian population of Bruce, '778. -James Barker, proprietor of the Fltmbor•o' Hotel, was sentenced at Hamilton last week to eighteen months in Central Prison on a charge of cutting and wounding a drunken man in his hotel some time ago. The sentence was such a shock to Barker t'tat he fainted in the Judge's" cham- bers. Barker claimed that the com- plainant fell and cut himself on a glass door. -The town of Kincardine and the township of Huron h,',ve both given substantial majorities for a by-law to guarantee the bonds for the Western Shore Electric Railway to build a line from Kincardine to Gloderich. It is the intention of the company to ex- tend the road through to Owen Sound in the near future and it will pass through Kincardine township, Tiver- ton and Bruce. -Cowansville is one of the chief dairy sections in Quebec, and many cattle in that section have become af- fected with tuberculosis. Cowansville dairymen think the Dominion Gov- ernment should assist in weeding out the disease. What they ask is that the testing of herds be made compul- sory, and partial compensation allow- ed where it is found necessary to des- troy the animals, Galt, Nov. 28.-A gang of Bell Tele- phone men who were working in the Collegiate grounds this morning had a surprise. They uprooted an old tele- phone post, and as the earth at the bottom of the hole was exposed to view, the men saw close upon forty snakes lying snugly in the ground. The men were more surprised than the snakes -judging at least by their demeanor. The snakes lay stock still. They were taken out of their winter quarters, and henceforth will find a home in the Galt Collegiate In- stitute. -Albertaranchers are said to be in a sorry plight with 50,000 head of cattle on their hands and no buyers. It seems they were promised early in the season that buyers would• be sent out to pick up their surplus cattle. This promise was renewed from time to time, but no buyers put in an appear- ance, and 'as the end of the shipping season neared the ranchers became anxious, and were more importunate in their desire to get rid of their cattle, but were then told that there was no money to purchase with. It is now too late to ship for export, and the home market cannot take all the avail- able supply; consequently the stock rounded up for market will have to go back to the ranches and get through the winter the best way it can, for in many cases no hay has been put up. Toronto. Nov. 20. --The Advisory Council of Education is urging upon the department the necessity for the revision of the whole of the text -book system, apart from the readers, on the revision of which the Council has been engaged for some time, in use in the public and high schools of the Pro- vince. The subcommittees who have laid the matter under consideration have presented reports to the Minister of Education, in which they express themselves as being greatly dissatis- fied with the existing condition of af- fairs- Not only do they complain that in the matter of the. text -books in use in the high schools there is consider- able over -lapping, but in respect to text -books relating to such important subject as history and geography, and which are in use in the public schools of the Province, they complain of in- accuracies.

McLeod's new store build- ing is nearing completion. Rev. M. J. Wilson was called to Parry Sound last week on account of the serious illness of his mother. Mrs. M. Duggan was taken sudden- ly and seriously ill on Thursday last, and for a few days her recovery was despaired of. Anniversary services will be con- ducted in the Methodist Church on Sunday, Dec. 8th, by Rev. Selborn Anderson of Blyth. - A report has got current that the Bruce Agricultural Works has closed down, or is about to close down for the winter, This is not true. The special services in the Catholic Church by the IIedenlptorist fathers have been drawing good congrega- tionst Two services are being held dally, Mr. Adam Simpson, 4th line, is home from a trip through the western provinces. Adam didn t get bit on western life, and he thinks there is room for hutch improvement before the country will equal Old Ontario as a place to live in. Quite a number of cases of chicken stealing have been reported about town in the past two weeks, Who- ever the miserable sneaks are that in- dulge in this thieving, they are evid- ently of a low and cowardly type as their attacks are mainly upon the chicken roosts belonging to widows, and men who are out of town. Mr. Foster G. Moffitt, who handled about one-third of the fruit shipped frorn Culross this season, estimates that the trade brought to tho town- shipfully $25,000 this year. He him- self paid out for apples, barrels, and wages to assistants, $8,000. Of "the $25,000 paid out in this township in connection with the trade about $15,000 went to the farmers. It takes about OOc to transfer a barrel of apples from the branches of the tree to the car, Big Stack of Hardware to be Sacrificed, for Cash Only, Have sold my business, but the stock ]asst be Reduced, and for the next few weeks the people of Wingham and surrounding country will have one of the chances of a lifetime to obtain Bargains in STOVES, TIN and GRANITEWARE, CUTLERY, LAMPS, and a host of things too numerous to mention.

Clinton Medical Health officer re- quests citizens to be vaccinated on ac- count of smallpox being in Gode- r iGl1. This year and every year there aro hundreds of barrels of apples that go to waste in the country that would be most acceptable to some of the Toron- to charitable institutions, if they could be collected and forwarded. Mr. E. A. Slaughter, who is teach- ing here during the Model School term, has been engaged as Principal of one of the Collingwood ward schools at a salary of $600 a year. Since accepting this, he has been of- fered the Principalship of Forest School at $700 a year. A young man came down from Goderich on Monday of last week to make some social calls. He belittled the smallpox epidemic there is in that town. "Why," said he, "I was to -day in one of the houses where two people are sick with it." The medical heath officer heard of it, and sent the con- stable to order hint home. The Jackson Mfg. Co, is now work- ing overtime, in order that they may keep up with the great demand for the goods they manufacture. Up to the present time they have more busi- ness booked for next season than they had for all last season. They have made further addition to their staff both here and their factory at Gode- r•ich,and at the rate they aro growing, it will not surprise us if their present staff of 120 people will be 200 very soon. DIr. Tas. Stevens, who has just re- moved to Clinton, 'has for over forty years owned the first clock brought into the township of Colborne. The first owner was Ben. Miller, the founder of the picturesque hamlet of Beumiller. This clock keeps good time, notwithstanding its great age, and the fact that it has only been once overhauled, and that by an itinerant passing through the conntry.
