VIRTHS, MARRUGES AND ,DE AT HE The annual report a tho Provincial Secretary a outario relating to births/ Marriages and d.eatlis for the yea1868 has been received, According to the returns made to the department the births of the year numbered 46,953 ;the marriages 14,551; and the deaths. 28, - The births in the cities numbered 8,- 880; an increase of 321, and a proper - tion of 270 per 1000. In thetprincipal towns khey numbered 2,617, an in- crease of 420, and a proportion of 23.4 per 1,000. In the rural districts the number registered was 35,456, a pro- portion of 20.7 per 1,000 living. Four 0 the eleven cities, London, Kingston, Brantford and Guelph, returned an in- crease in the number of births in 1887 ever the number returned in 1886. In 1888 they returned a decrease; and in three of the other cities, Ottawa, St. Thomas and St Catharines, there was a decrease in 1887and an increase in 1888. The change was the greatest in Ottawa. In 1886 that city returned 244 more births than in 1885. In 1887 the registration of births was 375 less than in 1886, and in 1888 they num- bered 353 more than in 1887. The re turn of births received from •the City ofToronto show a steady increase in nuanber every year. There ware 24,- 354 male and 22,599 female births in 1888, ai proportion of 107.6 males to 100 females, not quite so great as in 1887. 4The largest excess of male over female "births during the last ten years was in 1885, the proportion in that year was 1.09 males and 100 females. The • month which gave the largest excess -was in October, 1123 to 100, and the smallest in November, 100.8 to 100. The month of . January returned the largest excess of male bieths in,the cit- ies, 125.3 to 100, and July the least, 100.9 to 100 female births. The num her of illegitimate births registered was 618; an increase of 222 over the pre ecinus year. The births of twins child: zan appear to be decreasing. In 1887' the number registered was 72 pairs less than 1886;in 1888 the number was 54 pairs less than in 1887: No cases of triplets Were registered in 1887. In 1888 three cases were reported, wiz.eine from the county of Middlesex, one from. ithe united' ccain ties of Stormont, ° .des and Glengary, and :one •from the. se ounty of Welland. As stated, the nuMbee of, marriages t registered during the year was 14,551, :An increase of 91 over theprevious ,year, ging a rate of 13.4 married to 1000 living. From a denominational • standpoint, it appears that the religion _ of those married was as follows- Meth- . milks, 10,057 ;Presbyterians, 5,713; E. pi.scopillians, 5,209; Roman ..Catholics. 4,043 Baptists, 1,582; Liithera.na 591; Congregationalists„ 565, mid the others s divided among smaller denominations. December seems to be the most popular month fot marriages, and August the least popular: During the year 2,- 7,67 persons were married under twen- ty years of age, of whom .• 2,560 were males and 207 females." In the next period, between twentr:five years, 11,- 566 persons were maeried, 6,578 fe- males and 4,988 Males, showing that the proportion of females to males was not nearly so great as in the preceed- Ang period. In every, other period of :life the ages of the males when mar - reed exeeeded those of the females. There were thirty-one persons mar - Tied at seventy years and oyer,twenty- nine bridegrooms and two brides, The oldest bridegroom was eighty-four years, and the oldest bride seventy-two years, The United 'ages. of the oldest couple, married Was 148; their respect. ive ages were s,eienty-eight and seven- ty years. The greatest disparity be- tween the agee.of and couple married was that of a men eighty-four years old, who toek ,for his wife a girl of the age of seventeen years. Coming to youthful marriages, nine girls were enarried at the age of fourteen and .,teveney.five at fifteen years. Two boys at the age of seventeen and seven at eighteen years were maeried. In one eease the bridegroom was seventeen ,and the bride fourteen years. Coming to deaths, it appeaks that the rate evas a little Tower in 1888 than in 1887, owing to an allowance ' belief made for inci'ease of population. The report says the greatest variety in the • returre8 eerne frern tho County'0 Car- leton. In 1886 it retierried 1,487 deaths .,arl increase of 280 over the eumber returned in 1885; in 1857 the number of deaths returned was 1,225, a de- crease of 261; again ie 1888 the same county retureed 1,382 deaths, an in- crease ef 151, Of the 23,782 persons reported as haying" died dttring the year, 12.512 were males and 11,220 were females, giving, a proportion of 111.5 males to 100 females, The pro- portion in. 1887 was 108.8 to 100. In the births registered in the province in 1888 the propoetion between the sexes was 107'6 males to 100 females; there- fore, the proportion of male to female deaths was greater than the proportion of male to female births, the periods of life under one year, from one to five and from five to ten years the mortal- ity of males exceeded that of the Fe- males, and also in all the periods from fifty years and upwards, exceptsin the age between ninety and a hundred years, where the female deaths exceed- ed the males. In the periods from ten to fifteen years, and in each of the four succeeding periods, viz: from fifteen to twenty years; twenty to thirty years; thirty to forty years, and forty to fifty years, more female deaths were record- ed than males. In the cities the 'pro- portion between male and female births was 110.8 males to 100 females, ia the deaths 114.9 males to 100 females, therefore the proportion between the sexes was greater in the cities than in the province. The ten highest causes of deaths were as follows. Pheumonia, 2,537; phthisis, 2,521; old age, 2,365; nervous diseases, 2,275; anrernia, 2,271; heart disease, 1,567; diphtheeia, 1,088; dial rhceal diseases,934; ehteritis,909 ;fevers, 850. During the year twenty-one per- sons died in the Province of Ontario who were a hundred years old or up: wards. The oldest person who died during the year was Israel Talbot, of the Township of South Norwich, in the County of Oxford. He was a native of the United States. rail -ways in particular ,seerued to have failed to provide need facilities for the prompt and carefnl movement of per ishable fruits. This is, of course, a matter of the Very first importance, as every thing depends on getting the more delicate fruit to market in a fresh, sound and attractive condition. The attention of railway managers have been called to the matter, they well surely see that it is in their own inter- est, to provide the best facilities. Even if the business be yet too small to war rant the outlay required, it is dear that under such stimulus as better fac- ilities for getting to market, the traffic would rapidly increase, The Minister of Agriculture certaidy de- seryes credit for the energetic attention he is giving to this and 'other depart- ments of agriculture, ant the whole country can. hardly fail to profit greatly by the encouragement to more intelligent and advance,Vmethods, in all branches of this staple Canadian industry. It is not easy to Conceive of a more interesting,,and delightful oc- cupation than that of the scientifie horticulturist, and the department of fruit culture is one of the most attrac- tive brandies It would be well for the country if much larva -01r dth-bers of educated and energetic young men could be induced to make this their chosen industry, and enter into it with the combined patience and enthusiasm which are born of kno.sledee and es- sential to success THE PBTMIER HONOURED. On Friday afternoon Sir John Mac- donald was the recipient of an oil paint: •ing of himself from political supporters in both Houses of . Parliament. The presentation was made by Senator 0 gievie on.behalt oftlie donors, and in, acknowledging the compliment Sir John ,made abrief speech;ailitcling to a few of the incidents'of:hie political cae reer, in the course of which he traced the growth of the present Liberal -Cons servativeparty, of which for many years he had been the esteemed and honoured leader. Ile acknowledged the faithful services of his followers,' and Paid a tribute to the ability of those who.supported him in the pre Parliainent Sir John appeared to be deeplysaffected by this letest mark of confidence and esteem, on the, part of these who acknowledge his °political leadership. He is now in his seventy- sixth year, and it safe to say that that at no time in his long period of public service has he so generally enjoyed the personal affection and political attach- ment of Conservatives as he does to- day; while the "Ivekls' he has on the county at large was never stronger. He has fought many battles -"the hero of a hundred fight," and he has gained many significent victOries; and al- though he is now an ad man, „it is most gratifying to his followers in Par- liament to find him in the possession of his mental powers unimpaired and blessed with physical steng.th sufficient to enable him to discharge the onerous duties connected with one of the most important departments of the public service and with the responsible ,posi- tion of Prime Minister. That the vet- eran Premier may long, be spared to the country, to the promotion of whose progress and advancement the best years of his life have beep devoted, is the earnest wish of his followers in Parliament and of his many thousands of admirers throughout the Dominion. The meeting of the Canadian Fruit Growers' Convention, held in Ottawa last week, shows that the attention of the tillers of the soil is becoming more and more drawn to the value of , this branch of industry, alfid the importance of carrying it on in accordance with the most improved methodsrt is ev- ident from the diacussions at this meet- ing thee the business of fruit -growing in the various Provinces of the ' Detre inion is capable of Vat, almost 'unlim- ited, eepansion, There is evidently great need ef more care And more scientific knowledge in regard to the choice of varieties, -the adaptation of kinds and varieties te the peoulaeities of soil and climAte„in'tlifferent districts, the best mOdes of culture, etc, Great defieiencies also 'etist, it appears; in means of mOdes of traneporation.

Blaneliard, of the same place, was dismissed last Monday, by Magistrate Jervis, of London. The reason the matter was not sooner set- tled, was that the friends of the deceas- ed were led to belieVe _that new and importaut evidence could be obtained in the matter, which if true would not warrant them in permitting the mat- ter to drop. But it appears that be- yond what the inquest revealed, no ad- ditional evidence of an important nature is to be had. In connection with the case one report has been go- ing the rounds for which there is not a particle of foundation, namely that the jury at the inquest, were prejudiced against the deceased, and that the fore- man was heard to make statements re- flecting injuriously on the character of the deceased We have the author ity of the foreman of the jury for stat- ing,and all who know him believe his word, that he never made any such eX- pressitins as are attributed to him, re specting the tete Mr. Blanchard,. either during the progress of the investiga- tion or at any other time. The Geneva Times of Feb. 20th says: "As predicted in our last issue, the pro- ceeding,.s against Robert M. Racey, whose arrest was noted last week, were dismissed by U. S. Commissioner WU- lliams at Cleveland on Friday last. The case was called on Thursday, but no one appeared.

Dastardly Doings at Dover. Port Dover Junction, Feb. 18. -(Spe- cial.) -The railway tralnwrecker keeps at his work on the Michigan Central road. On -Feb. 12th an attempt was made to ditch Express No 20, going east'near Hagerville, a number of fence rails having been laid across the track. This failed; and a second trial was made near Courtland on the 14th of February Five railroad ties were throwe aerosS the eails, and the express dashed into them at the rate of a mile a minute. The engineer was sure he had struck something, but did not pull up till the Dover Junction was reached, when he discovered that the ties were on the front of the engine, having been lifted there from the track by the cowcatcher. The third attempt was made at one o'clock yesterday morning about a mile east of this place, and the men engaged in the af- fair must have been fiends, indeed. Two large steneS were rolled on the track, one of which would weigh about 500 pounds The place chosen for the commission of this black crime was at the west end of an embankment, about 40 feet deep, apd just where the rail- road crosses Big Creek. The express came dashing along at'i great rate of speed, and struck the stones,. seeding one on either side of the track, a dis- tance of about 50 feet,vvhen theyrollecl to the bottom of the embankment. Had the tram' gone over at this point it is hard to see how any Of the, passereeers could have escaped. Those who ''had not been killed instantly would have in all probability been drowned. De- tective HeenAlitvas on the ground a. bout 4 o'clock 'in the morning, and tracked the would •be-trairewreckers for a considerable clistance,but as they ap Peered to double on their tracks no de finite idea of the way they had come or gone to the scene of their attempted crime could be ascertained. That they were in no hurry to leave was quite evident, as a number of sWitchrods were afterwards laid acroes the track about half a mile further 0 t8t, and w(.we displaced by e freight train Ie the afternoon Detective Heenan was joined by the Superintendent of the C. R. detective atAlT, from Detroit, awl the two have been working steadily ever since in endeavoring to track the villans. This morning they loft here in a buggy for Delhi for the purpose of looking after some suspicious char tet ers Seeu about that place. it is quite safe to say that this attempt to ditch the express is the most diabolical act ever heard of hereabouts And the per- petrators, if caught, should receive a most severe punishment. NORTH AMERICAN LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY. The annual meeting of this Conipeni held at its bead office, Toronto, on Tuesday the 281h of January, 1890. There was a large attendance of those interested in the institu- tion. The Directors' report showed that the new business for the pttst year was the largest in the history of the Company; also that large increases had been made in every branch of the Company's business, tending to its con- tinued progress and prosperity. It was also pointed out that the greater part of the Com- pany's business was on the Iltemi Tontine in- vestment plan and further that nearly all the Home companies were now issuing poll. - cies on this plan under one name or another, clearly indicating that the insurhig public prefer this form of insurance. The Fin- ancial Statement together with the auditors' report thereon, was duly submitted to the meeting. Abstract of Financial Statement for the year ending December 31, 1889.

P., who was attending to his duties at Ottawa. The hon. gentleman, however, did not forget the company with which he haeheen connect- ed since its inception, and ,addresseda letter to the Policy Holders and Guarantors, *hick was read at the meeting. Be expressed his regret at pot being present and especially so, as Pie Year 1889 was the *oat successful in Abe:history-of the Rompan3r, and the state: went showed the, (greatest advance of any year, ,He. also dwelt on the fact that the :as- sets had in every instance been brought down tei e cash basis thereby continuing inp thaaarae course that hid been adopted at the outset, Viz.; to build the Company up' on a solid foundation. The letter from the President was received with loud applause. • Mr. Blaikie, the Vice -President, then ad- dressed the meeting and dealt very fully with the main, features of the report. He also referred in feeling terms' to the loss sustained by the death .of the late Vice - President, Hon. Alex. Morris, which had occurred since the last annual meeting of the Company. By comparisons with other leading companies, he demonstrated to the satisfaction of all present that the secur- ity offered to policy holders by the North An3erican can truly be said to be "Unsur- passed on this Continent." In referring to the competition experienced from the large American companies, he showed in a very clear manner, taking the Spires from an official statement pub- lished in the 'United States. that the per- centage of surplus to asset, of the largest companies, was much less than that of many of the smaller companies. Dwelling on this point, and also on the low mortality that the companies doing business in Canada had do far experienced, and further on the higher rate of interest obtainable in Canada as compared with other countries, for safe in. vestments, he showed very clearly that it was certainly to the advantage of Canadian insurers to patronize their own corapanies. He stated that the Company's solidi invest- ments in mortgages and debentures. consti- tuted a relative security for policy holders never before attained by any Canadian Life Insurance Company, at the same period of its The agents expressed great satisfaction with the reference made to them. by Vice - President Blaikie. He commended them for the good work they had been doing and illus- trated in glowing terms the advantage to many widows and orphans that had accrued through Life Insurance, which, however, would never have reached them but for the work of the agent. The motion to adopt the report was sec- onded by the Hon. Frank 'Smith, who ex- pressed his opinion that the report was a splendid one and further, that he Should say that it would' be almost impossible to beat this Company's record in any part of the world.
