—The city of Los Angeles, California,
reports that the Se,hool expenditure of
the city for the current three monthe
will amount three and a half million
dollars. The building permits of 1912
were 10300, and the structures erected
if placed side by side would reach
sixty miles, Of these, 7000 buildings
were homes for the people.

—A number from Wingham went to
Toronto last Wednesday, to hear our
townsman, A. H, Musgrove, M, L. A.,
move the address in reply to the
Speech from the Throne. Judging
from the brief sketch that appears
in the daily papers, and from the re-
ports of those who, heard him, Mr.
Musgrove (as we ptedicted he would)
discharged the duty, that 'Premier
Whitney assignedhim with credit to
himself and the constituency he res
presents. He spoke about an hour
and a quarter and, as he is a rapid
speaker,. covered the ground outlined
to good effect.

—The statisticians tell us that tbe
production of gold in the world for the
year 1912 was the largest ever known
amounting in round numbers to 405
million dollars, and that the product
of silver in the United States for that
year amounted to over 60,000,000 oz.
fine. This makes the production of
the two precious metals in the world
for the year run, as measured by gold
dollars, to over 600 millions. Thirty
years ago the world production of the
precious metals amounted to 157 mil-
lion dollars in gold. Intelligent Btu.
dents of political economy claim that
this was the potent cause of the in-
creased price of all things useful in
human life, necessities and luxuries
—Wide indeed is the scope of in-
surance, but the following reported
by a good authority is one of the
raost -unique. A French insurance
company has just paid $2,000 to a
Woman who called at the office of the
company some time ago and said
she wanted to be insured against the
risk of having twins. The officials had
no tables prepared with a vilw to such
an event, but they issued a policy in-
suring her against the birth of twins
for a preraium of $13 25, payable
monthly for six months, A few days
ago the 'manager of the insurance
company received a dainty card an-
nouncing the birth of twin daughters
to their client. Be at once forwarded
a sack of bonbons and a check for
$2000 to the - mother. The Advance
suggests that the Company open an
Accident branch of their business in
future, and place the rate accordingly.
THE DOMINION BANK.
Notwithstanding the very inclement
weather, a large number of relations

their Golden Wedding. They were

After partaking of a splendid re-
past to which everyone did ample
justice, Rev. E. H. Croly, who acted
as toastmaster, called upon the Rev.
Mr. Gibson of Bellmore to propose the
toast to the bride and groom of fifty
years ago, all having previously drunk
the health of the King. Mr. Gibson
in a few well-chosen words asked all
to drink to tbe health, prosperity, and
happiness of Mr, and Mrs, Marshall.
Mr. Abraham and Mr. Robert Barton
of Harriston responded very appro-
priately. Dr. Wilson of Mildmay
who had brought Mrs. Marshall
through a very severe illness proposed
the toast to the children, grandchil-
dren, and great-grandchild in felici-
tous terms and Mr. Ralph Metcalf re-
plied.
The evening was spent in song and
story and other amusements and
many useful and handsome presents
were given to Mr. and Mrs. Marshall.

Bertha, Messre. David, Wesley and
Boyd presented them with a well-filled'
purse of gold, a gold-headea cane, an
amethyst broods, a ring set with ru-
bies and pearls and many other gifts.
Mr. and Mrs. Marshall have always
been held in th9, very highest esteem
by all who know them and they have
been an example of honor and peace,
and a blessing to the community
around them. Everyone wished them
many happy returns of the day and
prayed that they might be spared for
many years to come.

Morning Fire,
Early Friday morning the home of
Wm. Moore, Shuter street, was the
scene of a rather destructive fire for
the thale it lasted. It occurred in one
of the bedrooms and spread very
rapidly, destroyingfa large quantity of
bed clothes, beds and injuring the
furniture of the rooms, It seems to
have been caused by a lighted match
dropped near the bed. The fire was
got under control without the assis-
tance of the firemen, and might have
been even more destructive, than it
was,
Given Two Months.
Wm. Allen from almost anywhere,
drifted into town this week and ap-
peared before Police Magistrate Mor-
ton on Monday, and was given two
months in jail on a charge of vagrancy.
It seemed to be satisfactory, and he
will be housed and fed till the cold
weather is past. Thirteen years in the
British a,rtny, and through the Boer
war, Allen is now without employ-
ment and without a home, He at-
tributes his pitiable condition to the
free use of strong drink. There are
scores of others on the same road, sad
to say.
Public Meeting.
A public meeting will be held in the
Town Hall on Friday evening next
to consider the paving of Josephine

ment, Toronto as one of the speakers.

the most economical material. Chair

Oa account of Easter coming un-
usually early- this year, it has been
deemed expedient not to hold the
Promotion Examinations for East
Huron before that time as usual. The

kindly notify the Inspectors at as
early a date as possible, of the number
of papers required for each class.

Shortly after their return from
their wedding trip, Mr. and Mrs. F.
Price of Pittsburg were captured by
their friends and hitched up to a line
of baby coaches. In each of these
there was a pair of twin dolls that
could be made to cry by a simple
pressure on the body, Ordering the
bridal couple to "move on," the jest-
ers forced them to pull six baby car-
riages tied together through the
principal streets of the town. At
each of the baby carriages was a
"caretaker," veho every few minutes
would make the "twins" yell by
smieezing thera. After a parade
arouud town, in which scores joined,
Mr. and Mrs. Price were escorted to
their home With well -wishes; and
felicitations of their friends.

Baptist Church Fire.
On Wednesday evening of last
week, just before six o'clock, the
Baptist church was discovered to be
on fire, with indications that the
building was doomed. The firemen
were soon on hand and the building
was saved, but very bad& injured.
It is feared that the new organ is
seriously damaged, while the piano in

water. The next morning the Sunday

There was a large hole burned in the
floor, and the ceiling mid roof were

been the result of an over -heated
furnace. There was an insurance of
$2600 on building and $000 on crn-
tents. The adjaster allowed full in-
surance on the contents, and this may
not cover the loss (as the condition of

Owing to the stormy sveather the
speakers! for the Farmers' Institute
did not reach Bluevale in time to hold
the meetings on Thursday. Mrs. W.
J. Hunter, however, addressed the
Women's Institute at the home of
Mrs. Messer and made a favorable
impression.
At the February meeting of the
Wilda' Board meeting of Bluevale
circuit, a resolution was passed unani-
mously to the followtng effect :—
"That as a Board, we desire to express
our appreciation of the past years'
services of our pastor, Rev. J. E. Cook
both in and out of the pulpit, and we
extend to him a cordial invitation to
remain a third year."
Mr. Cook replied briefly expressing
pleasure at the friendly relations
existing between the people and him-
self. He accepted the kind invitation
subject to the decision of the Steams-
ing committee.
Serious trouble has arisen in the
Literary, Social and Debating Society.
Everything seemed to be going
smoothly and the well-wishers of the
Society were hoping that the season's
activities would be a real benefit to
the members. But at the last meet-
ing .5, young lady through her legal
advisor announced that she intended
to sue "The Literary Digest" for
$10,000 damages "for wilful and
malicious libel calculated to destroy
her, ehesacee -et ,tea,triraonsr." The
legal representatives Orboth -Vatit'aft
held a consultation and it was decided
to have the case tried at the next
assizes, Wednesday night, Feb. 19,
Judge Aitchison presiding, The article
complained of in the, case appeared in
the last issue of "The Literary Digest."
It is not likely that a fraction of those
desiring to hear the trial will be able
to get into the court room, as the
principals are so well known in social
and newspaper circles.
Another good program was given
by. the Society. on Feb. 5, and it was
enjoyed by a large number consider-
ing the storm. One of the features
was a pleasing and instructive address
by A. McEwen, dealing especially with
the construction and working of the

widely used for waterworks in the
country. The address was illustrated
