On the return trip the snow blockade kept him four days on the road between Burk's Falls and Wingham. E. Sackrider, formerly of Belgrave, now of Hillview, New Ontario, says,— "We have hada very nice winter np here, although it is cold, but not as cold as Toronto papers reported. We have two feet of snow, and good roads; quite a contrast to what you have had in old Ontario. Mr. John Green of Lower Wingham shae been in poor health lately. On Friday last, accompanied by Dr. J.

A reader asks :—How is it that when coal is selling in Hamilton at $4.75 a ton, delivered, and first-class coal at that, in Wingham $7 and $7.50 a ton is demanded. Surely the railway freights do not take a rake-off of $2 25 per ton between here and Hamilton ? Some poor fellow found relief by working off the following—"There is gladness in her gladness when she's glad, and there is sadness in her sad- ness when she's sad ; but the gladness of her gladness and the sadness of her sadness are as nothing to her madness when she'd toad." Poor fellow 1 .Apropos the story of last week re the young man asking for the lady's hand, a subscriber sends us the follow- ing:—A. father said to an ardent youth on the occasion of one of his visits, "I am afraid, young man, you will come to want," "I have come to want al- ready" was the reply ; "I want your daughter."

The special committee of Heron County Council recommended, with, reference to the communication from the counties of Kent, Elgin and Nor- thumbeiland relating to the County Council Act amendments --That the present system of election of county councillors remain as it is under the Municipal Act of 1895, believing that the Act as it now stands is giving very general eatisfaction, Mr, John Fisher, of Regina, N.

Condensed war news will be found on page 8, ' Two full pages relating to the war will he found in this issue; see pages 3 and 7, In some cases, the news cabled is contradictory, but it is the latest obtainable for readers of the Advance, Through Canada. It is, perhaps, an interesting item to know that a train bearing important personages in charge of important dis- patches sent to the Czar from the Far East paused through Canada recently. The train was chartered by Lieut. -Col. A, D. Dabovsky, of the Russian army. Sad News By Wire. A. telegram was received on Wed- nesday announcing the death, in To- ronto Junction. of Mrs. Harrison (nee Mies. Mary Moore), daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Thomas Moore, formerly of Wingham. Their Wingham friends sympathize with the bereaved rela- tive* in their sorrow. Grant Refused. The County Council refused to give A grant towards the repair of the road south of Wingham, although Wing - ham, Morris and East Wawanosh were prepared to assist;; The motion for the grant was ably supported by sev- eral of the Councillors. and when that failed, the Council actually voted down a motion for County Engineer Ansley to estimate the cost of repairs and re- port to the Council. Some of. those County representatives require to have their scope of vision somewhat broad- ened, so that they might see beyond their noses. The request was a rea- sonable one, and the ease deserved better treatment. For a leading road to be in the state it is every Spring, is a disgrace to the fine county of Huron. Wingham Name. A subscriber writes the following Dear Advance—As Wingham is known all over the province, I thought some of your readers might like to know how the name originated, The fol- lowing which' is perfectly authentic may be. of interest. A few days ago, a Wingham young lady was travel- ling some ninety miles south, sharing the seat with a strange young lady. They naturally endeavored to break the monotony of snowbanks, travel, etc„ by conversation. What is your name asked the stranger. My name is replied the Wingham young lady, and pray what is your name? My name, said the stranger, is Wing - ham. She then stated that Wingham was a little town (the idea of calling our town "little") some ninety miles north, and that some sixty years ago, her grandfather was a pioneer in that district, and from him the budding town received its► name. Doubtless some of your resders will be ehle to vopcls for the truthfulness of the above statement, Yours truly, SUBSCRIBER.

Sad Accident, A sad accident happened on Monday to an Exeter young lady, Miss May Armstrong, who has a situation in London sal milliner, The report from Exeter to the Advance is to the effect that in company with Miss Bisette (formerly of Wingham,) the injured young lady was crossing the G. T, R. tracker London, when she slipped and was caught by a passing freight train. She was dragged some distance, and when rescued was found seriously in- jured. One leg had to be amputated above the knee, and the other foot was crushed. She is the daughter of Irvine Armstrong of Exeter, Keep Them Here. The Advance would not like to see any of the industries of Wingharn leave town. It is well known that certain changes in the arrangements in connection with the Upholstery factory necessitate an extension of the buildings for the proper prosecution of the business. Messrs. Walker & Clegg, we understand, submit a proposition to the Town Council. They ask for a loan, repayable by instalments in ten years, also exemption from taxes, ex- cept school and county rate. On their part they propose to erect a brick fac- tory 45x110, three stories high, engine room, boiler room 30x30, a kiln 35x50, and agree to employ seventy hands ten months in the year, The proposi- tion will be considered by the Council at an early date. Before the request can be granted, the property -owners must signify their pleasure by a vote thereon. Family Re -union. On Friday last there was a happy family gathering at the home of Mr. ' Elliott of the Wingham brickyard, I It was the 80th anniversary of Mr. Elliott's birthday, and every mem- ber of the family was present. The day and evening were. most enjoyably spent with games and social chat. The gathering consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Moore of town, Mr, and Mrs, Tbos, Elliott of Fort Francis, Harry, Sam, and Charles and their families of Turnberry, also Miss Clara and Messrs, Eli, jun., Ted., Herb., and Winnie at home. In the evening, the family had planned a pleasant surprise to Mr. Elliott, when they gathered around the fireside and presented him with an elegant coon skin oyercoat. Mr. Elliott was completely taken by surprise and thanked his family for their generous birthday gift, and hop- ed that they would be spared to spend many such happy times together. Fon SALE.—A good brood mare and foal.—Enquire at Advance office. Fireman Killed. Fireman Andrew Giffin, of Caro. Michigan, who was well known to many in the vicinity of Wingham and Teeswater, met a sad death in a rail- way wreck on February 8th, while on his run. The engine was lifted from the track by the ice on the road -bed, and went bumping along on the ties, Andrew was at work at the time, and when the couplings broke and the en- gine parted from the tender, he fell in front of the latter and was dragged some distance before the train came to a atop. The engine was ditched, but the passengers were uninjured. As soon as the engineer recovered from the shock he looked for his fireman, and found him in is mass of snow scraped ahead of the tender wheels. He was much torn and quite dead. He leaves a widow, who is prostrated with grief, and a four year old boy. De- ceased is said to have been a devoted husband and father, and his family circle was a happy one. He was well known, it is said, as a man of excellent principles and upright character. The railway- "company esteemed him very highly as a faithful employee. Troubles In Zion. • It is reported that some of Dowie's Wingham dupes who joined his colony at Zion City, have not found beds of ores, and one or moro of them have even been expelled from the sacred precincts, Zion City is owned and controlled by the Rev, 3, A. Dowse, or as he egotistically styles himself "Elijah the Restorer," It is (although boasting a population of 10,000) that bane of travellers "a one man town," and is situated about half way between Chicago and Milwaukee. Great tribulation exists there now. The fuel famine has struck it hard ; so hard, in flet, That some of the disgusted dupes have ceased praying for wood or coal, and are nota eettina down the shade trees along the streets for fuel. iiecently Howie and a lot of his followers went to Australia; On the way, they .visited California. but tha coast papers say he Met with "a frost" there. He then engaged all the stateroom* in an ocean liner bound for A,trtstraila.

After twice postponing the game on account of snow blockade, Palmerston team arrived in town on Friday night to play the last game in Northern League. Wingham team has been unfortunate in the League this year, losing several games by one or two goals ; two games were lost playing overtime. But a cheering victory came on Friday night, when the wear- ers of the black and white turned Palmerston down by score of 18 to 3. There was a fairly good erased present and they loudly cheered, as time after time, Wingham's midget forwards rushed through the Palmerston de- fence and landed the puck into their nets. Palmerston was certainly lucky to score at all, for their combination was always broken by Wingham's de- fence, while their defence was always easy for Wingham forwards. For Wingham,—Elliott. Fleming and Mc- Lean on the forward line made things very hot for Meston in the visitors' goal and- backed up by Johnston as rover, rained shot after shot on the Palmerston nets. On the defence Hedley as goal, Peart, point, and Moore cover -point, made the best of the season. On several occasions," Peart lifted the puck right into Palm- erston goal, Moore finishing, by rush- ing full length of the rink and finding the nets for a goal.

A friend sends the Advance the fol- lowing account of the presentation made to Rev. A. McKay and Mrs. Mc- Kay of Lucknow, on the close of Mr. McKay's pastorate in that village :— On Tuesday, the -10t11 inst., despite the excessive cold and storm there was a large gathering of the Presby- terians of Lucknow congregation as- sembled to give tangible expression of their esteem for their late pastor, Rev. A. McKay, who bas recently resigned his charge here. The chair was taken by the Rev. S. M. Whaley, wha was assisted in the opening etercises by Rev, F. A. McLennan of South Kin- loss. Mr. Mclntosh read a kindly - worded, highly complimentary and deeply appreciative address, reviewing the seventeen years of faithful and efficient service which Mr. Melte y had accomplished, both in the pulpit and in their homes, especially aiming the sick and suffering. A kind and appre- ciative address was also read to Mrs. MeKay, gratefully acknowledging the splendid assistance she had so ably and cheerfully given in carrying for- ward the work of the congregation. Mr. McKinnon presented Mr. McKay with a purse containitig $333 in gold, and Mies McKay was the recipient of a beautiful silver tea set' from Mr. Purves, On. behalf of the W. 1?, M. Auxiliary, the chairman read another address to Mre. McKay, preaenting her with a life -membership certificate in' that society, Mr, McKay ,replied for b[rrlself and wife, both of whom were visibly touched by the many tokens of kindness and appreciation which they haul received, Addresses were then given by Rev'* 1?, A.

Be did not call a physi- cian when his daughter was i11, and she died. He has been found guilty of manslaughter, but allowed to go on suspended sentence. "Faith" is a good thing, but requires to be supple- mented by "works" in many cases. or —Wheat has risen from seven to ten cents a bushel during the past ten days, and there are prospects that it inay go higher still. It is now higher than it bas been for nine years, In Winnipeg, No. 1 hard touched $1.08 a bushel for May delivery, and $1 a bushel was quoted on Toronto markets this week. Some Toronto dealers are looking for $1.25 wheat. ter —Quite a number in Wingham re- member the last time that (the now) Senator McMullen spoke in Wingham Town Ball. That was before the Lib- erals attained power. Many who were present remember very distinctly the emphasis with which Mr,, McMullen said, in effect—If we (the Liberals) get into power and do not reduce the ex- penditure three or four millions a year, PUT US OUT. As to what they have really done with the expenditure see page 4. under the beading—"The Expenditure," star —A few years ago, James (now) Senator McMullen used to wax elo- quent when abusing the Senate, as a "home for worn-out politicians and defeated party hacks." Now the scene is changed. He has, himself, been de- feated ; and the same James McMullen with eagerness availed himself of the opportunity of taking shelter in the "home" and "refuge" aforesaid, that he once despised. You see, a fellow can't always tell to what straits he may be reduced. You won't hear a word of abuse of the Senate from Mr, McMullen on Friday night. tar —Hon. E. J. Davis, when speaking in the Legislature recently, stated that Ontario has still ten billion feet of timber, sufficient for twenty sales like that of last December, and of pulp- wood, there was at least three hun- dred million cords. It is indeed grati- fying to know that Ontario has se much left, after so much has gone to the grafters, But how Peter Ryan's mouth must water at such news. For the sale in last December (which he - conducted in a few hours) he received $92]8.34. Twenty sales like that yet 1 Peter's cup of prospective joy must be full and running over. • est —The Brussels Post says "The' Gamey investigation cost the country over 544,000. an enor- mous sum to expend with so little to show for it. Mr. Gainey will wreck his own party before they are through with him." It is an enormous sum it is true, but who is responsible? Not a living soul but G. W. Ross, who twisted and squirmed until the inquiry was taken out of the proper channel, the Legis- lature, and given to a Commission of two judges, whose princely salaries wore (it is reported) $500 a day each. Did not Goldwin Smith say, that the result of the investigation was jut what Mr, Ross intended it should be, when he was forced to investigate the charges 7 If the prophecy in the last sentence of the above extract proves true, our good brother Kerr should throw up his hat and cheer at the prospects. The fact is --Gamey has come nearer wrecking the other fel- low's party, whose wrongdoing and evil deeds were very much exposed by the investigation. Horse pair.
