TRY IT. rice At A Social. • An accident of serious proportions was narrowly averted at the home of Mr. George Ray, at Pine River. a few evenings ago, at a parlor social by the W. F. M. S. A lighted lamp, which was standing on the piano, was acci- dentally overturned, and instantly the carpet, saturated with the oil from / / / / / / / / / / / / ✓ / / 4, ✓ / / / i 4, / / ✓ / / / / / / the broken vessel, was in a blaze. One of the guests endeavored to beat out the flames with his coat, but the gar- ment was burned to shreds. A big quilt. which was next brought into re- quisition, accomplished the purpose and the fire was brought under con- trol after some furniture coverings, wall decorations and part of the car- pet had been destroyed. \\\\\\\\•\\\ \\4\\♦\\\\\\\\\\\\♦ SANCTUM PARMIRAPUS. a -Strange things happen sometimes. The first vote Zion. G. P, Graham (former member of the Laurier Gov eminent) gave on his return to .Perlia - mea was a 'vote in support of the Conservative. Government of Dont R. L. Borden, * ** -�-There is a bill before the Legisla- ture, which, if it comes law, will have a far*reaching effect in preventing municipalities, especially rural ones, from shifting their reasonable obii- Rations with regard to the sick. and afflicted upon the shoulders of; urban and city municipalities. According to the new measure, an institution re- ceiving a patient its enabled to notify the clerk of the municipality from. Which the .patient says he comes, and if no reply is received from the point designated, the cost of the patient is charged up against the municipality in question, and may be collected by legal process. * w* —Liberal papers that have been startling their readers with big' head. lines about the "Bnurassa.Borden Al- liance" are just now waking up to find that there is no such an alliance. In fact, Mr, Borden is steering a straight course, neither scared by threats, nor deterred from the path of fair -dealing by the defection of a few hot -heads. Premier Borden bas gain- ed in strength by bis fearless and suc- cessful handling of a difficult question. The efforts of the Opposition to make political capital out of the Manitoba Boundary Bill, have signally failed. The fact remains—that what Sir Wil- frid Laurier feared to attempt, or fail- ed to settle during bis long term of office, Son. R. L. Borden bas accom- plished successfully in a few months. * ** —That was certainly a most pecu- liar spectacle seen in the political arena last week. In the Ontario Leg- islature, the Liberal leader and his little band were fighting the Manitoba] Boundaries Bill, then before the Do- minion Parliament. At the same time, Sir Wilfrid Laurier and all bis followers (except seventeen) were vot- ing with the Conservative , Govern- ment to defeat an amendment to the bill on the line of separate schools, and the combined majority to defeat the amendment was 136. The Bill then passed by a vote of 107 to 52, or a majority of 55. A majority of the electors will now conclude that Pre- mier Borden has succeeded in bring- ing about a very fair, reasonable and successfulsettlement of a, rather tick- lish and long•deferred public question. The settlement is certainly much to the credit of the Government, Liberal fault-finders to the contrary notwith- standing. �* * —The budget ,speech in the Ontario Legislature, delivered by Hon. L B. Lucas, shows the provincial finances to be in excellent shape. The develop- ment of the province and demand for larger appropriations for Schools, Agriculture, Hospitals, Asylums, etc. has necessitated increase of expendi- ture. Education alone now costa $2,374,314, in comparison with less than one million dollars in 1904. But the revenue has more than kept pace with the expenditure. Whereas, dur- ing the twenty years, 1874-1894, the revenue only increased from $3,446,347 to $3,453,162, and during the ten years 1391.1904, from the latter figure to a little over four million dollars—during the past six years the figure has risen to $9,370,853 --the Iargest in the his- tory of the province. Instead of a "mythical surplus," there is a hard - cash balance of over a million and half dollars, The revenue is not derived in ways despoiling the latent wealth‘of the province.

Already there has been laid before them a project for dealing with rural delivery in a more business. like way, and with Lees • duplication than obtained under the late Govern- ment, The people will be served bet- ter, than by the loose way in which the scheme had formerly been carried out. He would soon ask the House to concur in the establishment of a speci- al branch of the department to deal with this subject, The cost would amount to something, but the money would be well spent. The routes would be mapped out ' in a regular, systematic, economical manner. They could not go into every county at once, and they must plan each ses- sion's work so as to fit into the next one." * * * --Hon. W. T. White, Minister of Finance 'delivered his first Budget speech on Wednesday last in the Cam- i:eons, and his successful effort shows, that Premier Borden was not astray in his choice of a Minister of Finance. The revenue for the year ending March 31 will be 136 millions, and the expenditure, 97 millions, sothat there is a surplus of consolidated fund re- venue over consolidated fund expendi- ture of no less than thirty-nine mil- lions, the greatest surplus the country has ever known. With this surplus, as the minister pointed out, not only will the capital expenditure of the year be provided for, but there will also be five millions available for the - partial payment of the obligation of ten millions for implementing the G. T. P. bonds, an entirely unexpected expenditure. To sum•up, the revenues of 1911-12 have been sufficient to meet all current expenditure. all capital ex- penditure, half the obligation for G. T. P. bonds and the reduction of the national debt by ...over a million dollars. To Save Ginseng. , A bill has been introduced in the Ontario Legislature to prevent the extermination of ginseng. Digging or gathering in its wild state is pro- hibited between Jan. let and' Sept. Mt, penalty for violation not less than $5 or more than $20. Half of penalty goes to the prosecutor unless other- wise ordered by the convicting magis- trate. Judgments By Wholesale. Six thousand judgment summonses, according to a news despatch in the Regina Leader, were issued in Jan- uary in the district of Saskatoon alone, against farmers and merchants dependent on farmers for their money. This is an appalling record. Over four thousand of these judgments are said to be against farmers who have lots of wheattto sell, but cannot disease of it for want of care. Big Seizure Of Liquor. On March 12th, License Inspector Beckett of Owen Sound, seized one hundred and fifty gallons of whiskey in five twenty -five -gallon barrels, on the road between the Village of Chats- worth and Owen Sound. The barrels were addressed to Robinson, Chats. worth, and were being transferred in a sleigh to Owen Sound. The inspector claims to have knowledge of whom the liquor was being taken to ,and will begin legal proceedings at once. 4 Peculiar Accident. One day last week two men near Leamington were conveying a waggon loaded with seven milch cows and one calf to Blytheswood, and while going through a drift, the snow gave way under one side of the waggon, and the large rack turned on its side, leaving the cattle banging by their necks. Help was called and in a few minutes all were chopped loose, when it was found that one of the best cows was dead. It was also a narrow escape for the drivers, who were thrown under the load. All About Wood. The chief point of interest at Met division court in Mount Forest was a suit entered by a West Luther farmer for $9, the price of a load of wood, against a citizen who claimed that the wood was short and of poor quality. The farmer was allowed $5 50 and had to pay his own costs. There was a sequel to the suit. The farmer struck another citizen, Who made some remark about the suit and was haled before Pollee Magistrate 1Vfa0Gregor, who imposed a fine of $5 and costs amounting to about $6. GOOD HEALTH.

The official vote was practically a full one, but only about 50 per cent. of the members and ad- herents voted. On Wednesday night, T3, J. Blake's double sleigh with a driver, a com- mercia,l man and a load of trunks aboard, was upset. The occupants were left behind and the horses came galloping toward the village. Turns ing at Murdoch's corner they nearly went into McLure's ' grocery through the window, and the remains of the sleigh were left there, smashed against a telephone post. The team continued their run, away past their own stable and up Station street where they be- came stalled in a snow bank and were caught. The six men who acted as pallbear- ers at the funeral of the late Mrs. Johnston on Tuesday got the surprise of their lives when on their homeward journey. Oa the advice of one of their number, who has enjoyed no peace of mind since, they returned by way of the gravel road to avoid pitch - holes elsewhere. .In some peculiar manner when crossing the railway tracks, the sleigh runners caught and slewed along the rails, the horses gave a jerk at the psychological moment, and the big, double seated sleigh with the six big fellows among the robes inside, was overturned like a teapot, spilling robes, cushions and occupants into about an inch of slush by the roadside. Some of them were wet to the skin, and one or two sustained slight bruises, but fortunately no in- jury was done and not a word of un- becoming language escaped them. -- •(Sentinel.
