The Concert on Monday evening was well attended, the proceeds being about $147. Unfortunately, the ex- penses were very heavy, and when these are all met, the boys will not have much of a surplus to their credit for next year. The Beaver Minstrels of Seaforth furnished the entertain- ment and gave a good program. The singing was very good, especially that of the reale quartette. The dancing of the Misses Sproat and Dodds, in Highland costume, to the music furnished by Piper McDonald, proved attractive. The Solos were well ren- dered, and the end songs and jokes furnished variety. For amateur min- strels, the Beavers gave a very satis- factory entertainment. As was an- nounced, the object of the concert was to meet the balance which the Hockey boys found themselves "short", at the 'close of the season. They were anxi- ous to close up every thing honorably, hence this effort, which we hope will accomplish the object aimed at, and leave tho boys a balance to their credit. DR.

The Weekly Sun says :—In view of the comparatively high prices now prevailing for cattle, it will be inter- esting to learn the prices which have been paid in other years. During July of 1902 best butchering cattle sold in Toronto at $5.85 to $6.12} in the first week. The prices weakened, and at the end of the month they were sold at $4.25 to $5.25. With the beginning of August, prices went up to $5 and $5.25, and in the last week of that mouth best butchering cattle were sold in Toronto at $5. In the begin- ning of July, 1903, best butcheriug stock sold at $1.40 to $1..75, and grad- ually weakened to $4.50 at the end of the month. With the beginning of August, prices went up to from $4.25 to $1.60, and the close of the month witnessed the payment of about the sante prices. Atthe beginning of July, 1904, prices for best butchering cattle ran from $4.50 to $4.75. In the middle of July they went as high as $5, and then gradually weakened at $L60. During August the best ran from about $4.25 to $4.50. May Wedding. A pretty, but quiet May wedding caused a flutter of excitement at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Green, on Thursday last, when Mr. Walter Rose, of the Teeswater Elec- tric Light Co. was united in the bonds of matrimony to Miss Ca- tharine 11icTavish, of Wingham. The interesting ceremony was witnessed by the immediate friends of the bride and groom, and was performed by the Rev. D. Perrie. Miss Lizzie Green played the wedding' march, as the contracting .parties presented them- selves for the nuptial vows. The bride was prettily attired in cream crepe-de-chene trimmed with chiffon, and her travelling suit was of brown ladies' cloth, The bride is well-known and esteemed in Wingham, and the groom, who formerly resided here is a most respected and exemplary young man. Tho fine array of presents testi- fied to the kind wishes of many friends for their happy future. After a brief wedding trip, the *happy couple will take up their residence in Tees - water, where, the groom has charge of the Electric Light Co.'s business there. The Advance extends con- gratulations. On Monday evening -a reception was given Mr, and Mrs, Rose at the home of the groom's par- ents in Mitchell, at which about fifty guests were present.

Obituary Poetry, The following from an exchange is straight to the point :—"All news- papers, but mote especially the local country papers are pestered with what is styled obituary poetry—rhy- mes made on the dead. We like to bo accommodating to subscribers and to the public generally but we must draw the lines at publication of this sort of matter. Never poetry and seldom sense, these productions are invariably a medley of sacrilege and nonsense that is neither creditable to the writer nor interesting or useful to the reader. Rhyme is not poetry. It is the thought expressed, not the jingle of the words in which it is ex- pressed that gives the matter its poe- tic quality. If you are tempted to write of obituary poetry ; don't. You haven't the literary training, and you are likely without poetic sentiment. It is no reflection to say that you are note poet." To this we might add that taking a piece of rhyme and changing a word or two here and there to suit, does not make a person a poet. Neither is it a compliment to the edi- tor to ask hint to "fix up" some ef- fusion that would be better never seen in type. St. Paul's Church. The annual report of St. Paul's Church for the year ending March 31st has been printed and shows the finances to be in a healthy condition. The receipts show receipts of $1878.70, expended in Rector's salary, organist, sexton, missions, light, feel, etc. The repair account amounted to $77.40; the Ladies' Guild raised $ 72.56, and the Women's Auxiliary, $81.87. The re- ceipts of the Young People's Guild were $164.46, all of which was expend- ed for church purposes, except 11 cts. The Junior Auxiliary raised $35.06, and the Brotherhood of St. Andrew report receipts of $7.78. The Sunday School receipts were $139.76 ; in this connection, it is worthy of note, that the children's Lenten Self-denial of- ferings amounted to over $23. At the adjourned Vestry meeting on Monday evening, the auditors' report was adopted. The salaries of the rector, organist and sexton, remain as before. The thanks of the Vestry were ten- dered the Churchwardens, the Y. P. G., St. Andrew's Brotherhood, and the choir, for their co-operation. The following were chosen as sidesmen— C. J. Hollister, E. Nash, A. J. Alder- son, C. G. VanStone, F. McGuire, C. Inglis, Alex. Porter and Jas. I3. Kerr. The congregation of St. Paul's have a valuable and neatly -kept property, free of debt, and their finances appear to be in a prosperous condition. Rev. 'V. Lowe, the energetic rector, looks well after all departments of the work. WANTED—At once, partner for Real Estate and Insurance business; must be a hustler. Apply personally to C. J. Maguire, Real Estate Agent, Wing - ham, Ont. A Large Funeral. The funeral of Will. McDonald took place on Friday last from the resi- dence of his parents on John street. The sad accident occurred at Park Head, while the young man was en- gaged in his duties. He was coupling cars, and had gone in between the tenth and eleventh car, but gave the signal to the conductor, who signalled the engineer to back up. As he went to step out, one of his feet caught in the frog of the switch, and Ile fell, the car passing over hits, breaking his spinal column and crushing him se- verely. While lying under the car, he was conscious and explained to the conductor how the accident occurred. A quick run, with the engine and ca- boose, was made to Owen Sound, where the injured young man was taken to the hospital. He remained conscious until a few minutes before his death. 'The young man was a fav- orite with his compactions on the t'ail- way. This was evidenced by the fact that twenty-two of them, ineluling four conductors, came from Palmer- ston to attend the funeral. Numerous floral tributes were also evidences of sympathy and respect. One especially deserves notice ; it was a representa- tion of "Gates Ajar," and stood nearly three feet high; this was the gift of Palmerston railway men, and the be- reaved family had it photographed in its beauty. The Palmerston Hockey club and several others sent floral tributes. The trial has been a severe one for the sorrow -stricken parents and sister of the deceased, and the 1 community • was evi- dent of the con tit t sympathy Y dent froth the large attendance at the funeral. Mr. and Mrs, McDonald feel tleeply grateful for the many kind ex- pressions of sympathy extended to them in the hour of their trial, and the numerous telegrams of condolence Were sincerely appr eeiated. The Markets, Grain stands as reported last week ; wheat 90 ets„ oats 88 to 40 cts.; flour, $2.40 to $2.65; butter has dropped to 10 ets.; eggs remain at 13 Cts.; live hogs are $0.05 ; cattle, both butchers' and export show a slight drop (about 20 Cts. a 100 lbs,) but no further de- crease is expected for some time at least. Wingham Business College. Mr. Geo, Spotton was in town on Tuesday, and we understand he has leased for a term of years several rooms in the Shaw block, over the Advance office, and he may possibly open the College in June. Mr. N. Reginald. Fletcher, of Strathroy, has been engaged as Principal. The rooms will be fitted up with suitable accommodation, and as there is abundance of light, should be very satisfactory for the purpose. Any young people who purpose attending the College should communicate with Mr. Spotton at Listowel. A Judge's Decision. The Seaforth Expositor calls atten- tion to the following decision—"If a corporation takes gravel from a man's farm and pays therefor, ought the said corporation to further recom- pense the said farm for the damage to his property caused by the excava- tion ?" This was the question that faced Mr. Justice Meredith in the Middlesex assize court, at London, last week. The Judge decided that the owner of the gravel pit is not en- titled to recompense from the muni- cipality, on account of the hole made in procuring the gravel. How Came It There ? Last week, a second-hand organ was brought to D. Bell's Music store. When it was opened and taken apart, a hen sparrow was found within. Evi- dently the bird had not been long dead, and as the organ was closely covered, while being brought to Wing - ham, the question is asked the Ad- vance—how did the bird get there ? Well, that's easy—either the bird was a musical one and wanted to live and die in a music store, or else, knowing that Coun. Bell was a lonely bachelor, it resolved to go and keep hire com- pany, and died in the attempt to cheer hire in his solitude.

Allenby, of Mansfield, Ohio, gives the sad in- telligence of the death of her sister, Mrs. Thos. Piper, at the age of 45. She had been ill for two years with heart trouble, and passed peacefully away, leaving a kind loving husband, and two sons. Deceased was a daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. G. P. Wells of Wingham ; Mr. Piper is a brother of Mr. S. Piper of town. The deceased lady was well known in Wingham, and was a member of Grace Episcopal Church. The death of Mrs. Piper is an additional trial to the relatives, so recently bereaved by the death of Mr, Allenby. Since leaving Wingham, Ars. Allenby had been residing with her sister in Mansfield, but now ex- pects to return to Wingham before long. NOTE AND COMMENT. --Cape Colony sold nearly $21,000,- 000 worth of diamonds last year, and the amount of profit divided among the shareholders of the company was $9,614,000. A profit of upwards of 40 per cent, should be satisfactory even to the capitalists of the Kimberly mines. —Members of the French Parlia- ment receive $1,728 a year besides a free pass on the railways. Members get $768 in Belgium, in Holland $830, and in Greece $381. In Switzerland the members are paid $3.84 a day dur- ing the time Parliament is actually in session. —"The Ledge," a paper published at Ferule, B. 0., says :—"The Toronto Globe states that doom awaits the present Dominion government if it continues to fly in the face of public opinion, and intimates that the better class of Liberals will turn it down. Conning from the Globe this means a great deal, but the present domineer- ing attitude of the Laurier govern- ment is nothing new. All govern- ments when they think they have the cinch, owing to a large majority, in- variably become tyrannical and the people are compelled to step in and tie their hands in order to save the country. —The National Monthly for May gives the following interesting item:— The first consolidated school in Canada was established at Middleton, Nova Scotia, in the fall of 1903. It quickly enrolled over four hundred pupils, from an area of eighty square miles of the surrounding country. Within these limits were eight former school sections, which now closed their school buildings and gave their support to the central ,institution. Thus, where there had before been eight small schools, with one or two teachers in each, there was now one consolidated school with a staff of eleven teachers. The unique part of the system is the way the pupils reach the school. The outlying portions of the district are from five to seven utiles from the town, and the children from these and from all but the central section are taken to the school every morning in large vans and in the same way brought home at night. The Middle- ton school employs twelve of these vans, each carrying twenty-fonr chil- dren ; they are in charge of trusty drivers, and cover as many different routes, converging from all sides to the school. The children like it. It is a novel way of going to school, and withal comfortable, while it had the effect of securing regular attendance. --The Autonomy Bill passed the House of Commons on Tuesday night on a vote of 140 to 59. Thirteen Con- servatives voted for the 13111, including Mr. Lewis of West Huron, and R. A. Pringle of Stormont. Lewis is likely to hear something drop next time he runs for West Huron (if he ever at- tempts to). We are sorry to think so, but it looks as though there was a bar- gain between the Government and Lewis, by which the Tatter was allow- ed to retain his seat on condition that he aid the Government in coercing the west, and hurling provincial rights into the deep, deep sea. We fancy we see Mr. Lewis' finish, politically. West Huron did not send Mr. Lewis to Ottawa to support Sir Wilfrid Lau- rier, much less to sanction the sacri- fice of provincial rights, and the fet- tering of the new provinces in educa- tional matters. Ile shonld have been sure he was eligible before he was nominated, or, rather than incur the suspicion that now rests upon hint, he should have resigned after he was elected. The Advance sloes not be- lieve e- �. , . ie a that a man shouldgo to 1 nrlux- 1 v r. relent bound band arts foot on alt neat - tors and thus prevented from using Itis .judgment on legislation, but in a • matter like the Autonomy 13111, the course taken by Lewis, looks like at be- trayal of the trust reposed in him by it majority of his constituents. The life that counts must toil and fight; Must hate the wrong and love the right; Must stand for truth by day, by night— And. this the life that counts. The life that counts must aim to rise Above the earth, to sunlit skies ; Must fix his gaze on Paradise— And this the life that counts.
