k 'Not only in the towns but in the
....7 townships will the new Assessment
)
Act make a difference. George Clark,
assessor of Kincardine Tp., expects
that under the new law the assess-
' ment of that township will be about
20 per cent higher than it is now. It
will make a big difference in many
instances. Buildings have to be as-
sessed separate from the farms, so that
farms with good Windings will be
more heavily assessed than hithertO.
The rate of taxation will be loWer of
course, because of the increased as-
sessment. The same now be true in
other townships as well as Kinear-
ditie .tp.

The Town Clerk's office has been
furnished with a now desk, about
fifteen feet long, It will enable Clerk
Ferguson to handle the rolls and the
other work more expeditiously. It
was not only "made in Canada" but in
Wingham, and if we mistake not was
turned out of Conncillor Bennett's
shop.
H. T. Perdue of East Wawanosh
was in town on Saturday, and took
home with him two very fine. Hereford
calves, a bull and a heifer. They were
bred by W. II, Hunter of Orangeville,
and are fourteen months old. Good
stock pays well, and farmers aro reali-
zing this, --Mr. Perdue will reap re-
sults of his enterprise in years to
come.

Charles, son of Mr. Yeo, of Mitchell,
had a narrow escape from death at
Moosomin, Assa., last week. He held
the position of accountant in the
Union Bank, and slept over the bank.
Tho building was destroyed by fire,
and Mr. Yeo, together with the teller,
had to be pulled out of bed in order to
escape the fire. They got out in
their night clothes.
It is reported that Byron 0. Lott,
the Liberal candidate in West Hast-
ings, who was mixed up in the trick
ballot box affair, is spending the
winter at Los Angeles Cal., picking
ripe oranges and raisins, off the trees,
while melt who never did a wrong
thing in their lives are at home set-
ting their noses frozen. It doesn't
seem fair. So thinketh the Exeter
Times.
Not long since the choir in one of
the fashionable churches rendered a
long and difficult anthem—one with
many frills and furbelows. The good
minister sat patiently through it, but
when the anthem was finished he
arose and, to the amusement of both
congregation and choir, began his
prayer in deeply earnest tones, say-
ing, "0 Lord, we thank Thee that we
are still alive!"
NoTion.—The person who took a
Persian Lamb cap from Hanna's store
last Friday, had better return it to
tvoid trouble, as the party is
known.
Mr. Wm. McKenzie of Annan, is the
owner of a very prolific sow, which
has a record that perhaps cannot' be
beaten. During the past year this
sow gave birth to three litters of pigs,
numbering in all forty-nine. Mr. Mc-
Kenzie disposed . of ten of the second
litter in Owen Sound last week. They
were six months olcl and weighed 200
pounds each, so that Mr. McKenzie
realized $100 for the lot. That is a
profitable sow.
Paper money will savvy disease
germs for 0110 month ; metal money
will carry such germs only 21 hours,
according to the conclusion of Dr.
Thos. Darlington, president of the
New York city Board of Health, who
has been experimenting with bacteria
on money. The germs of only two
diseases have been experimented with
—consumption and diphtheria—and
both of these may be communicated
frotn one person to another on
money.
The official premium lists for cattle,
sheep, swine, poultry and seed grain,
for the Eastern Ontario Live -stock
and Poultry Show, which is to be held
at Ottawa, March 0, 7, 8, 9 and 10,
have' been issued, and contain explicit
directions as to all the rules governing
the different departments of the ex-
hibition, together with much informa-
tion as to awarding connnittees, spec-
ial low rates on railways, etc., etc.
Prospective exhibitors will do well to
write at once for copies to Mr. A. P.
Westervelt, Secretary, Toronto.
A. well-known banker informs a
Toronto evening paper that there is
no more prosperous class in the couo-
try than the farmer. During the last
two or three years, said he, they hnve
doubled their accounts with the banks
many times, and it is the exception
now to find a farmer in the neighbor-
hood of Toronto who Is not wealthy.
Prices of farm produee, he continued,
have been so high of late years that
inoney has fairly rolled into the pock-
ets of the minter people, and the
futnre looks quite as bright as the
past.

The Directors of Turnberry Agricul-
tural Society have decided to hold the
Van Fair on September 28 and 29.
Committees have been appointed, and
expert judges will be secured for the
stock. 'On horses, there will be two
experts, one for the heavy class and
another for the lighter grade. It is
probable that the speeding in the ring
will be left out, but other attractions
will be secured, and a united effort
made to have a successful Fair.
Railway Station Burned.
Pahnerstou G. T. R. station house
suffered damage by fire Wednesday
night of last week, to the extent of
$500. Fire broke out in the ladies'
waiting room about seven o'clock and
had gained considerable headway be-
fore it was noticed by someone in the
gentlemen's waiting room. The alarm
was sent in, and after some difficulty
with the heavy drifts and a balky
horse, the brigade arrived on the
scene and got the fire under control,
but not before thq two waiting rooms
and the operators' room, as well as
well as rooms on the second floor,
were completely gutted. Telegraph
connection was completely destroyed
and Despatcher, Webster from Strat-
ford was sent up by special train and
re -opened the connection late at night.
The cause of the fire is not known, but
it is supposed to have been the result
of a couple of small boys playing with
matches and paper. The building was
a two-storey frame and an easy victim
to fire. It is most fortunate that the
flames were not allowed to gain fur-
ther headway.
Wingham Wins District.
Wingham Hockey teani lost at
Lucknow on Friday evening on a
score of 3-2, but have won the district
by a score of 17-5, and are thus quali-
fied to play off with Harriston in Mt.
Forest in final game for the district
cup. Wingham boys went to Luck -
now expecting to have a good clean
game, as they gave Lucknow fair
treatment when they played here.
Lucknow player, however. and some
of the spectators, went at our boys in
rough style and. two of the Wingham
players were badly battered up. One
business man of the village assaulted
Dug. Wilson, and only by hard work
did Wingham players get off the ice.
Wilson had .a bad cut over one one
eye front a cowardly blow. Now that
Wingham has won district No. 1, our
players would like to play Lucknow
game for Honors on neutral ice, with
a neutral referee. Our boys consider
that while they were fairly beaten in
this game, they were very badly used.
• Wingham players were—Moore, Wil-
son, Johnston, Galloway; McGillivray,
Fleming, Elliott. Thereferee penaliz-
ed thirty players, Lucknow having the
greatest share of penalties. The man-
agement ivish to thank citizens of
Winghatu for their patronage and
solicit its continuance.
Stable Burned.
On Friday afternoon last, the alarm
of fire was given, and the brigade
sinittnoned to quench the flames in a
stable at the rear of H. E. Isard's
store. It 'ahs a double stable, partly
on R. A. Hotchison's property and
partly on a lot belonging to T. A.
Mills, on which a house stands facing
John street. As Mr. Ashton, who oc-
cupies the house, was dangerously ill,
and, the burning stable was close in
the rear, some anxiety was felt, espe-
cially as there was delay in getting
water. Fortunately there was DO
wind, and the blaze had well spent its
force before water was available. The
• trouble and delay seemed to be frozen-
• tip hydrants. This is something that
should be remedied. Firemen may be
ever so promptly on the scene, but if
hydrants are useless when most re-
quired; our fire plotections becomes
useless. Had the fire been in a busi-
ness block, much valuable. property
would have been sacrificed 4)efore wa-
ter was available. To have to run
from *divot to hydrant when a
building is burning causes delay ; be-
sides, in a case where several streams
might be necessary, the results would
be serious. The stable was ocenpied
by Herbert Hogg, who lost the con-
• tents, consisting of hay, a eater, bar-
ness, and a good buggy. Wingham
has an abundant supply of water, and
as prompt fire eotepany, but the water
•must, be availablo.when required, We
understand that the hydrants were
• put in working order at once. They
should be frequently tested and kept
• tight,

From Cuba.
R. J. Ring of Whitewater, Mang
accompanied by his brother Williatn,
from Cuba, arrived in this vicinity on
Friday of last week, to visit their par-
ents, Mr. and Mrs. Peter King of East
Wawanosh. R. J. left Whitewater
about two months ago for Cuba; on
the occasion of William's illness with
fever, and after rem:ling there for a
month until his brother was able to
travel, they left for Ontario. Mr.
King thinks a trip to Cuba is a splen-
did outing for anyone wanting a com-
plete change of air and scenery. There
the flowers bloom and fruits ripen all
the year round.
Wants A Contest.
The following, signed by Jacob Mc-
Gee, appeared in last week's Lucknow
Sentinel :—"There is a retired farmer
living on the first concession of the
township of Kinloss, county of Bruce,
who claims to be contemporary with
five monarchs, fifteen prime ministers
and with the great Napoleon Bonn -
parte; he wishes to have a friendly
contest with any retired farmer in the
County of Bruce or Huron, in writing
and. spelling, for a bag of flour to be
given to some poor person in Luck -
now; he will give his opponent ten
years the advantage."
Sudden Death.
A sudden death was that of Henry
Cox, a workman at the Union factory.
On Wednesday ho did not feel very
well, and on Thursday morning did
not rise at the usual hour. Mrs. Daw-
son, with whom he boarded, gave him
breakfast in bed, which he ate, and
soon atter when she returned to the
bedside, the spark of life had fled.
Deceased was 52 years of age, and
carne here recently from Goderich.
Saturday last was. pay-day at the
factory, and he was saving his wages
to remove his family to Wingham;
in fact his wife had begun to pack the
household goods, when news of his
sudden death reached her. The Union
factory closed during the funeral and
fellow -workmen of the deceased laid
hint to rest in the Wingham cemetery

Forecasts For March.
The first marked disturbances for
March will be central, on the 3rd, 4th
and 5th. These reactionary storms
will culminate in high temperature,
low barometer, with rain and high
winds on and touching the 5th, ending
in snow storms over much of the
country to the northward. A sudden
high barometer with quick and severe
change to boreal winds and blizzard-
ous conditions may result in the
northern. sections on and about the
5th, but a rapid reaction to warmer
will set in about the 7th, followed by
falling barometer from western ex-
tremes, ending in general storms of
rain, sleet and snow during the Vul-
can storm period extending from the
Ith to the 12th. Severe boreal storms
with a March cold wave need not
surprise anyone from about the llth
to the 14th. The 15th to the 17th will
bring a marked storm period; culmin-
ating in low barometer, rising tem-
peratore and general storm condit-
ions, ending in wide areas of rain and
snow. Another high barometer and
March cold wave may suddenly slip in
from the northwest from about the
17th to the 10th, bnt it will give way
as suddenly as it carne. The most
general and violent storm conditions
of the month will appear during the
storm period from the leth to the
24th, being at its center on the 21st,
the central day of Earth's vernal
equinoctial period, with the Moon at
the full, on the celestial equator and
in perigee. The indications are that
tropical storms and hurricanes will
reach the extreme parts of our south
country about the leth ,to 220, nota-
bly en and touching the 2Ist, and that
rain and high winds, turning to snow
and very cold for the season, will meet
the tropical, equatorial storms from
the northwest. A severe March bliz-
zard over much of the country north-
ward, is among the probabilities at
this period. 'Volcanic and seismic
-disturbances will reach it maximum
• state of excitation over the globe gen-
erally within sixty hours of six p.m.
on the 20th. Watch for sech reports
in the world's telegraphic news cover-
ing this period. A reactionary storm
• peeled will be central on the 27th,
• 28th and 29th; general storms of rain
and wind, turning to snow in the
noz'th, will pass stst Vat Ste • the

Seven Years Gone.
With this issue, the Advance enters
the eighth year under the guidance of
the$resent proprietor. For the kind
patronage that has been extended us
for the past seven years, we tender
our sincere thanks. We are pleased
to know that the Advance is a wel-
come visitor to hor-Ueda of homes.
The policy that lifted the paper into
prominence turd popularity will be
continued. The editor has no desire
to attempt the impossible task of
pleasing everybody. This much how-
ever we can say—we endeavor to do
our duty faithfully, set naught down
in malice, and we enter the eighth
year of our connection with the paper
with kindly feelings to everyone, and
bearing towards none.
Howick Pioneer Gone.
On Monday last one of the pioneers
of Howick passed into the spirit land,
Mr. John W. Jacques, Deceased was
one of the earliest settlers of the
township, going into its forests over
fifty years ago. Industrious and
frugal he made for himself and family
as comfortable home. He was a man
of good. character, a kind neighbor,
and many of the early settlors remem-
ber his kindly acts and encouraging
words. In fact he has been known as
the "poor znan's friend." He was 4
faithful member of the Church of
England, and in political matters ad-
hered strongly to the Conservative
party. Pneurrionia was the cause of
his death ; his age was 70 years. He
leaves a widow, three sons and seven
daughters.
FOR SALE,—Some household furni-
ture and other articles, alt in good re-
pair. Apply before Saturday.—Mrs.
W. T. J. HOMUTH.
No Truth In It.
The editor of this paper dislikes re-
ferring to personal matters, but we
have been urged by many friends to
refer to the following. It has been
currently reported in town that the
editor of the Advance sent the letter,
that appeared in this paper in January
last, written. by W. H. Green, to a
Berlin paper for, publication. We did
nothing of the kind, nor did we write
asking for its publication in Berlin or
any other place. Nor has the editor
of this paper written, sent or dictated
a single word on anything connected
with the matter referred to in the let-
ter, to any paper, daily or weekly in
the Dominion of Canada. In order to
set the matter at rest, we have com-
municated with the editors of Berlin
papers, and their replies containing
emphatic denials of the story are on
file in our office and' may be seen by
'any person, who doubts the truth of
our statement. So far as we have
been able to ascertain, the letter never
was published in Berlin at alt; if it
was, the letters on file will prove that
it was not at our request or sug-
gestion.—Tun EDITOR.

Killed At Hockey.
The following should prove a warn-
ing to those who are disposed to be
Yongh while &laying games. Aleide
Laurin of Alexandria, was killed at a
hockey game nt Maxville on Friday
night. The young man, who was
about 24 years of age, was a printer in
the employ of The Glengarrian of
Alexandeia. He went -with the Alex-
andria hockey team to play the Max -
Referee O'Connor previous to
the starting of the game, 'warned the
players that roughness would not be
tolerated, and referred to three play-
ers who had been ahnost killed while
playing hockey recently. Miring the
first six minutes of the game he ruled
off .five of the Maxvilles -and one of the
Alexandria team. Presently A.
Loney of the Maxvilles and Laurin
went for the puck. Loney struck
Laurin as heavy blow across the shins ;
then smashed Lailrill'S hOekOy stick.
When his stick was broken Laurin
went -op to Loney and pushed him
back. The referee at mice blew the
•- whistle, but Loney struck
blow on thehead. Laurin was W-

Doing Into Business.
After being an employee in the Bell
furniture factory for about twenty,-
five years, Robt. Allen severed leis
connection with it on Saturday last,
We understand „he hitends entering
the mercantile business at St. Helens,
and expects to remove next week.
We hope he will find the mercantile
life congenial. People of St. Helens
will find. biro upright, straight -for-
ward, and a good citizen.
License Commissioners.
Provincial Secretary Hanna, in
asking for recommendations for the
appointments of License Inspectors
and Commissioners, has made the
wish of the Government very clear.
He wants men of good character,
above reproach, and men that are in
sympathy with a proper enforcement
of the law. An honest effort will be
made to properly administer the Li-
cense laws. West Huron Executive
met on Tuesday la'st and made the fol-
lowing recommendations :—For Li-
cense Commissioners—M. Lockhart of
East Wawanosh, Thos. Durnin of
Ashfield township and Thos. Churchill
of Goderich township. For Inspec-
tor—Alfred Asquith of Auburn was
recommended. We are not personal-
ly acquainted. with all of these, but on
enquiry find that they meet the, con-
ditions suggested by the Provincial
Secretary. Our information is to the
effect that they are all good men for
the positions.
Death 01 John Elliott.
Death has been busy recently and a
number of the pioneers have been call-
ed to their reward. The subject of
this sketch came into East Wawanosh
nearly fifty years ago, to make to home
for himself and family out of what
was then a wilderness. Deceased was
born in the county of Fermanagh, Ire-
land in 1825, and crone to Canada in
h 0, settling at first in Peel county.
In 1857, he married Miss Annie Irwin;
to them were born eight children.
Four boys and three daughters re-
main; the sons are John J., now in
Denver, Colorado ; Wm. A., in Bran-
don, Man. ; Matlesw H., and Irwin at
home. The daughters are—Mrs. Jos.
Johnston, Wawanosh, Mrs, Sheridan,
Michigan, and Mrs. Siem, Holstein.
Mr. Elliott settled on the 13th conces-
sion of East Wawanosh in September,
1857; in 1879, Mrs. Elliott passed away.
His second choice was Miss Sidney
Armstrong, who predeceased him fif-
teen years, Mr. Elliott had reached
the advanced age of eighty years, and
being attached to the olcl homestead
which he had cleared of. the forest, he
resided with his soli' Irwin until his
death. He was a member of the
Methodist Church, and a loyal Con-
servative. On Saturday February
18th, he was taken ill with pneumonia,
and passed away on the following

NOTE AND COIVINtENT. .
—The Ontario Legislature is own-
moned to meet March 22, Mr, liars
court, it is thought, will lead the op-
position,
—When it is necessary to use it
Magnifying glass to determine in
which compartment of a ballot the
intersection of the cross lies, should
the ballot be allowed 1' That Is a ques-
tion raised, by one of the seven ballots
in dispute in the West Huron recount
case in whieh justice Maclennan
heard argument at Osgoode Hall on
Saturday. The Court used the mag-
nifying glass, and heard the argument
of counsel for M. G. Canieron that the
intersection of the cross was "clearly"
within the corepartznent of the Liber-
al candidate, The County Judge had
so decided, Justice Maclennan gave
no hint of his opinion. The cross is
on the line dividing the compartments
of the candidates. Itt the me at
Holmesville, where a deputy had
torn off two ballots which had ad-
hered together, the vote marking the
top one and the official initialing the
back of the lower one, judgment was
withheld. Similar action was taken
in the case of the Goderich poll, where
the ballots were marked with 'num-
bers corresponding to the number of
the votes in the poll book,
