Our "Council Brevitiee" of last week were written humorously, without the least intention of offence. However, the blow has fallen, and Coate Mitchell has removed his name from our sub- scription list. Now, the editor of this paper bears him no illtwill, not the slightest, for he is a good citizen. There may be times, when this paper would have been pleased to speak favorably of friend Mitclaell's work in the Council, but as, be has threatened us with "law"tif ever he "can get a holt" on us, we must an future be care- ful not to mentappiehis name in these columns, under any circumstances, The Advance wishes Coma, Mitelaell a very pleasant and, successful term. The Advance will continue to issue weekly at the old. stand, notwith- standing this calamity. The Canadian Almanac. No business office is complete with- out The Canadian Almanac for 1012, is unusually valuable, and is indis- pensable to every office and library in the Dominion. Many of the lists given Are not fourid elsewhere, and in no other volume can so roach infor- mation about Canada be found in so small a space. It go:attains besides the ordinary almanac calculations, postal information, list of postoffices, Do- minion and Provincial Governments with names of officials, salaries, ete. ; complete list of clergy of all denom- inations, legal and judicial informa- tion, county and township officers It is indeed a mine of information We notice fiovvever in giving the circulation of newspapers, it has rated this great family journal several hundred below its sworn circulatiop, giving only its circulation years ago. The Canadian Almanac contains more information than can be gotten else- where for the small cost of 60 cts. Decease of Mrs. Tout. In our last issue), we reported that Mrs. Catharine Tout of the Sootton Business College staff in Orangeville had been operated. on in Wingham hospital, for internal 'trouble and was doing nicely. A second operation was found necessary, and with her consent and that of her local physician, it was performed on Thursday last, She came through it successfully, but a. few hours later, passed away. Mrs. Tout was for some time in the office of the College in Winghean ; she was regarded by Mr. Spotton as a valuable member of the staff, and while in Wingbana made many friends, Her maiden name was datharine Reavie, and her parents reside in Ripley, where interment toOk place on. Satin day, She was in her 30th year. Last week, while Mr. Spotton was attending the femoral of the wife of the Principal of hie Welland Schee], he reeeived the message inforrniog himof the death of Mrs. Tout, and had some difficulty reaching Wingham in time for the funeral. Death Of WS. Corley. Many of our readers will regret to hear of the death of Mrs. (Richard) Corley ot Burketon, formerly and for Many years, a resident of the ath line of East Wawanosh. Mrs, Corley had beet in poor health for some months, with anaemia, and heart trouble, until on Feiday last, she passed to that land where sickness and sorrow are un- known. Mrs. °otiose with her late husband, was a resident of Wawa - nosh for probably over 35 years and was held in general esteem. A little over three years ago, the family re- moved to Burketon, and on August 80th, 1010, Mr, Corley joined the great majority. She leaves to naourn the loss of an affectionate mother, one daughter Mary, and one son Feed. (formerly tt student of Wingham High School) two sisters, Mrs. 3. T.

There will also be a few good Olydes dales, Sale about February 9th. Good Lemon Pie. Our lady readers tthoulel try this :- A. delicious pie is made as follows: Stir together one cupful of sugar, one cupful of cold water and one bevel tablespoonful of corn tarch. Add the grated rind and juice of a lemon and a cupful of raisins, chopped fine'. Cook all together until the corn starch is well thickened, stirriog constantly, to prevent burning. Prepare this be- fore making the crust and set aside to cool until that is ready, then bake with an upper and an under crust. Remove The Cause. In connection with the alarm in some parte of Ontario regardbag rab- ies, Dr. H. E. W. Tamlyn calls the attention of those interested, to this fact, viz., that this disease may be caused by dogs not having a sufficien- cy of water to drink, Apparently it is not the heat of summer that causes the trouble, for it exists in the cold weather. If the lack of water is the cause, the remedy is at hand -see that the dogs have water to drink, as well as food to eat. Trouble Indeed, Mrs. Wm. Watters of Fordwich is experiencing trouble indeed. Her husband is in Grace hospital, having undergone another operation. He has been very low, but is improving. Mrs. Wolters has been assisting in the Recotd office, but on Sunday night, her father, who resided with her, pas- sed away. The editor of this papee is very sorry he could not respond to Mrs. Watters' request for help in her office work, much as we would have liked to have clone so. It has been strenuous work to get the Advance out on time, with one compositor sick, Canadians In Philadelphia. In renewing his subscription, Dr. E S. Coultes of Philadelphia, well-known to many of our readers, says :-I notice by this week's Advance that you have had some weather up there lately. Well, let me tell you, it was cold enough here for me. Two or three times it got down near the zero mark, but lately it has been real spring like; what little snow we had is gone. So far as I know, all the Cana- dians in Philadelphia, are well. I saw most of them at a Canadian banquet not long ago. I have had a very busy season. Wishing the Advance a ban- ner ye tr in 1012.

Half the pen was used for roosting eitutrters and half for a scratehing shed. The scratching shed was kept bedded with 8 inches of Stra,w in which most of the whole grain was fed, though some was fed ,outside in fine weather.

To this Mr. Jervis of the 2nd of Stan- ley would probably answer, Rocks and tell why, thus -"Last year our seventy Rocks laid 761 dozen of eggs, an aver- age of 130 eggs each for which we received $135 32, and besides fifty chickens were hatched out." Successive Bereavements. Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Pringle have reason to believe the old adage - "troubles never come singly." A few months ago, Mr. Pringle was bereaved of his father. Last week -we announc- ed the death of Mrs. Pringle's mother, and just after returning home from that funeral, Mr. Pringle received word. of the death of his eister, Mrs. John Clendenning of Wallaceburg, and left on Thursday afternoon for the bereaved home. Mrs. Olendenning was a former -resident of Wingharn, and will be remembered by many, as Miss Maggie Pringle. Besides her husband and two sons, she leaves a bereaved mother, one sister, Mrs. 1 T. Saint, of Wallaceburg, and One brother, W. D. Pringle, of Wing - ham. The sympathy of Wingham friends is extended to the bereaved families. The Ontario Legislature. The Provincial Legislature is called to assemble on February 7. On look- ing over the list of members and their occupations, we notice that there is only one "Teacher" among them, and that is the respected member for North Huron, Mr, A, H. Musgrove of Wingham. There are many` impor- tant matters to come before the Legis- lature. Among them may be men- tioned :-Bilingual schools, the hydro- electriet policy, the Ne Temere decree, temperance issues, immigration, good roads and colonization made, and the bill to provide compensation for injur- ed workmen. Looming up larger and larger as the clays go by, is also the big question of the development of Now Ontario, a proposition second to none in importance. The Toronto World very properly remarks that to d.eal adequately with these questions will require statesmanship of the highest order. Death Of Mrs. 'Rutledge. On Thursday, ,Tenuary 10th, there passed peaeefully away at her reeldene, Josephine street, Mrs. Jane Rutledge, in her 82nd year. Deceased had been ill for over six weeks and bore her sufferings with patient resig- natiore Her maiden name was Jane Heedersott, and she was born in the county of Tryone, Ireland, in 1830.

The Michigan Presbyterian, publish- ed in Detroit, reviews a book recently issued with the above title, front the pen of Rev. Thomas Walker Malcolm, pastor of St. Andrew's Church, De- troit, andson-in-law of Mr. Coventry of Wingham. The Presbyterian says :- "The book deals some well directed blows at the idols that abound in modern society and that are found in the "high places" of the land, Like tnodern King Josiah he would break down the altars of the false gods and prepare the way for the reign of rtghteousness. "An Idolatrous Age," "The Craze of Commerce," "Matri- monial Commercialism," and "The Mad Race for Fun" are some of the chapters that diagnose the evil of the times. But the writer's work is con- structive as well as destructive, and over the ruin of the modern idolatry he vvonld erect the temple of truth and purity and godliness. The book is a study of the religious conditions of the age with an earnest, sober, un- prejudiced setting forth of the causes of the fretted life of tcaday. It will prove a tonic and an inspiration to those who are looking and longing for the better age, when peace and sweet content and the joy of the Lord shall 1111 the land."
