Director of Colonization Southworth said Monday that up to December 1 last the immigrants to Ontario totalled 23,200, and it is thought that when the returns are all in the total for the year will be about 24,000. The figures given do not include settlers from the United States, the returns of which are not com- pleted. Most of the others are from the British Isles. Last year the total im- migration was 13,000. There is a growing influx of Russian Jews, attributable to the war. They are mostly going into New Ontario, and are not afraid of bard work. A fair proportion of these are working in the bush during the winter, And will afterwards settle on the land as they are good farmers. Farm Coming Back to its Own. (From Opportunity.> Things on the farm aro changing, and we already observe if we watch the bar- ometer of social life, that there is a tendency to get back to the country. Fifteen years ago for instance, less than 50 per cent of the population were mov- ing oning eountryward; in 1890 the statistics show that 70 per cent. were seeking out homes in rural districts, and it is likely that the population now going away from the city reaches 75 per cent. At last, with Solomon,they are discover- ing that "all is vanity" in the cities, that friendships are difficult, that neigh- bors don't know the names one of the other, that noise, dirt, confusion are there and the struggle to live is at the desperate stage all the time. The Telephone, the trolley- line, Ave rural mail delivery—these are xnitigat.- ing the uncial side of rural life and the beauty of nature is doing the rest. PERSONAL.

The Westminster Guild of the Presby- terian Church has been fortunate in se- curing undoubtedly the finest musical treat that will be afforded the citizens of hearing for some time—the famous Meister Glee Singers of London, Eng- land. It is safe to say that no musical organization that has ever visited this country has received such glowing press reports as this company has. At present they are touring the North West, hay. ing appeared in Winnipeg for two even- ings and a matinee, and have been re-en- gaged for two more concerts on their re- turn back. They will appear in Massey Hall, Toronto, again on Jan. 25th for their third engagement, and alto in Stratford and Clinton for return engage- ments, so anxious are the citizens in these places to hear them again. The company is composed of Eugland's finest quartette, the Meister Singers, which in- cludes such well-known singers as Wil- liam Sexton, alto; Ager Grover, tenor; Alfred Cunningham, baritone, and For Waltham, basso. The Canadian P ass have acknowledged that they ar a re- velation, such quartette sin;ig never having been heard in this co try before. Their'work is finishes, • + their voices so balanced and in +effect tune and smoothness of tone that it reminds one more of a beautiful pipe organ than human voices. Their solo work is also a treat. Their quartette is • assisted by Madame Marie Riversdale, an artist that they secured from England, and the possessor of a superb soprano voice, who has been enthusiastically received on the Canadian tour. Mr. Roland Henry, the humorist, is acknowledged in England as a rival of George Crosamith in his younger days, His humorous and inusieal sketches evoke round after round of applause, and his funny stories bring down the house, The Gnild have gone to a great expense and trouble to secure this splendid attraction, which is being sought for in nearly all the cities and towns that they have appeared in before. It is to bo hoped that a splen- did audience will be present to hear them. They appear on Saturday, Jan. 28th, in the Town Hail, Coaglfe, cells, heireeneee, and other threat ailments are quickly relieved by Oresolene tablets. ten tents Der bed. All druggists CARD OP THANKS.

Kincardine Shut Out. Tlae Kincardine and Wingham hockey teams met in the Wingham rink on Thursday evening last, and the result was a shut -out for the visitors, the score being Wingham 6, Kincardine 0. This is the first shat -out recorded this year, and to Wingham comes the honor. From the face-off Kincardine showed a liking for busk -whacking and were con- tinually roughing it, but • the locals, much to their credit, played an exceed- ingly Olean game. throughout. There was a good crowd present and the game was greatly enjoyed. The visiting team were much heavier in weight than the locals, but for stick -handling and team work were clearly out -classed. McKen- zie of Kincardine was the heaviest man on the ice, and, he was on the ice as mach as on his feet. Goodwin held his reputation for rough work, but other- wise was lost. Referee Bell did the best he could under the circumstances, but allowed too much rough play. For Wingham, Galloway, Fleming and Elliott on forward line played brilliant hockey, wbile Johnston and Wilson at point and cover point played the best game of the season. Moore in goal was stonewall. Following are the names of the players: -- Kincardine Johnston McKenzie Goodwin McGinnis Sinclair Swan Secord Wingham Goal Moore Point . Wilson Cover Point... Johnston Galloway .. forwards 4 •', McLean Fleming Elliott In connection with the Wingham— Listowel hockey match at .the latter place on Tuesday evening next, the local club are endeavoring to secure special train service for those who will accompany the club, and it is probable a reduced fare will be obtained. The citizens' band will accompany the boys to Listowel, and no doubt a large num- ber from town will go down to see the match. Mrs. Charlotte Albrigh Cable, mother of James G.
