The month of January, just concled- ed, was the coldest January in fifty- five years, arid the second coldeat ever recorded in ToreiaThs., According to the report of the Goveibment Meteor - logical Obseteratory in "levant°, the mean tetnpeyiture in the hionth wae 13 8 above e,ern. ov 0 degrees below the average7 coldest Janu ryateo,rded, the average Qat of,1857 was the rt in that rnon Ming 128 degrees.

Henderson, closed her eyes on earthly scenes, and entered the £r -off land, from whence no traveller e'er returns. Mrs. Hen- derson was united to her now deceas- ed husband. in November, 1861, and for the past few years, the family has re- sided in Wingham. A good neighbor, a kind mother, a respected citizen, and a faithful member of St. Andrew's Oisurch, Mrs, Henderson was highly respected. Of twelve .children, seven remain :-Mrs, H.inry of Brandnn, George of British Columbia, T. E 1 - gar of Wisconsin, Adam, Margaret and Emma, at home, and Wm. J. o• the homestead nen town. The littler - al takes place on Thursday. Mr. H in- derson died in November last. and thus the family has lost fathfr and mother within a few months. A Useless Custom. The editor of this paper would he the last person on earth to knowingly say a word to hart the feelings of any one of its subscribers or citizens, es- pecially at a time when the dark winged messenger of death has brought sorrow to the home, but from the best of motives we desire to call the attention of our readers to th6 custom that has outgrown its purpose, if it ever had one. When sickness and death comes to your home it is only natural that 'your friends and neigh- bors should do what they could to as- sist you. They would be heathens if they did mot. They know from ,the expreseion of your face that you are thankful and. deeply appreciate all they do, and it is not necessary to rush into print and tell the world that your neighbors were kind to you when you were in trouble. The reading public are becoming tired of the old stereo- typed "card of thanks." You can ex- press to your friends, by a look or work, your thankfulness, in a more impvessive manner than you can in it column of cold type. Of course the cu.stom has had some excuse because when one staeted it, others felt they must follow suit or appear lacking in appreciation Of' the kindness of others. Complimentary Banquet. Tile Tilbury Times gives the follow- ing account of a farewell baoquet to Mr. N. Evans, the new manager of the Dominion tank in Winghatn t -"On the occasion of his departure for his new field of labor at VVingling, Nor, man Evans,- late manager of the .Do- minion Bank here, was tendered a complimentary banquet at the Bal. moral hotel on Thursday night. The event was one of the best attended and bAst managed affairs held there in a long time, over 40 of the leading citizens and businees men. being pre- sent, the result reflecting the highest eeedlt upon those in charge, including the efficient hotel staff. At the ton- clasion of the banquet, it long toast - list follotved, under the capable toast - mastership of Mayor Crawford, to whose tight eat the guest of the even - leg.

That Turkey Record. Sometime ago, we published it re- cord of turkey -raising by Mrs. Robin- son of neat, Leadhery., who sold 28 ter•keys weighing 317 Ihs. for $51 00. Then Mr, Wylie of Howick, who raising 25 turkeys for which she re- ceived $77.73, or an average of $311 per turkey. Now a subscriber writes us, that Mrs. Long of Gowanstown aline; to 'Imre beaten the Howick record to a finish, by raising 31, tur- keys, for which she received $108 50, nr an average of $3 50 per turkey. Now, who comes text Infant Found Dead. The infant child of Mrs. Althoff of Harriston was discovered on Wednes- day morning by the mother, lying dead in its bed. It appears that the infant, which was 10 months old, was put to sleep in another part of the house and was nut to bed in good health. It is thsught that as the night was bitterly cold the child came to its death from exposure. Dr. Mc- Cullough, Use coroner, made an ex- amination and found no marks of violence and is of the opinion that the baby died from exposure, After a complete examination the coroner issued a burial warrant.

"0 tr Dumb Animals" reports that Twee, a fox terrier, saved a passenger trans on the Lackawanna Railroad frnne being wrecked near 13loom0eld, N J. The crossing -tender, in addition to raising and lowering the gates, was required to attend to the switch, there bring only a single track from Bloom- field to Montclair. On the day in question a westbound train was ap- proaching and the gateman dropped his red flag and ran to throw a switch. At the same time an eastbound pas- senger train was rounding the curve and coming down grade towards the crossing. Toots, who had spent much time around the flag shanty and who was familiar with the duties, eeized the fia.g in his teeth and ran up the track. The engineer saw the danger signal and stopped his train jut in time to prevent a collision, Toots died recently at tbe advanced age of fifteen and was buried with honours, More Winter Weather. Rev, Irl Hicks' predictions of genu- ine winter weather for January were abundantly verified. February and March do not promise much fine, or spring-like weather, Stormy and cold tveather are likely to meet us during February. Peofessor Hicks says :- "From the beginning of January, up to the time of this writing, January 16th, blizzards and wintery tempera- tures have broken all records for many years past all over this continent. Pbe loss of live stock hat been some- thing- frightful; fuel famines have, and do yet prevail extetasively4 over the country, many people have frozen to deatb, and intense suffering has come to thousands, The Mars period has gradually worked from the sum- mer, back through the spring, until this year it is eentral on Febreary the tich, which fact leads us to the eon - elusion that February, and almost the whole of March this year will Con- tinue enbroken, or normal winter weather, without early a.bnormal warm spells as for soine years past." Kern A Former Resident. During the past week the Advance reeeived a, letter from Mr. Wm.

If the people had loved some More of Shredded Wheat. Tell i'ne not in mournful numbers, Wheat is but in empty grain. For it nonrishes our members, And it even feeds the brain.

Then there was a flat dry triscuit, After Jello round a biscuit, Covered with cream stiffly beaten, Everything good to be eaten. On the table were the pickles Made by that Company of Lytle's And we had McLaren's cheese And Salado., the best of teas. There were Olark's pork and beans And Shredded Wheat ice cream, And several other dishes Enough to satisfy all their wishes, After supper was the concerb Which was certainly excellent Speech and song and reading Made the entertainment. s , , REXALL CHERRY BARK COUGH SYRUP Will Stop That.
