Of these 532 men and 46 women were con- victed.

()wing to the sever storm and bad roads he had to "throw up the sponge." The rev. gentleman's face was not in a fitcondition to appear in a pulpit, He says that he got it frozen but from the fact that he had to pass through Bid dulph, some are uncharitable enough to hint that his injuries may have re- sulted from some other cause".—Sea forth Sun. There are many children in this town who go to the post office perhaps a dozen times a day to enquire for mail. Of course, those who go oftenest are usually the ones whose parents re- ceive a paper once a week and a letter once a month. This is a decided nui- sance to the postmaster and, the par eats should not allow their children to do it. Often several children from one family go into the office and inquire for mail withina few minutes of each other. Parents should impress the nonsense of this running to the post otfiee on their hildren. If the children are expected to carry the mail, let one in' each fam ily be appointed to the tall: and let him be instructed as to what time he should go to the office. Mr. Thos Cameron purchased no less than 2300 one -cent stamps on Tuesday, at the Exeter post -office. Mr. Robt.

Word bas been received that Mr. John Dearing, son of Mr. Wm, Dearing of Sterhen, who left here some few years ago for the vicinity of Marlette, Mich., met with a most serious calam- ity on Friday week. Mr. Dearing cot.s ducted a farm for a few years but aP short time ago he purchased a restaur- ant in the town of Marlette and went there to reside It appears a store ad- joining his premises took fire in the night and before anything could be done the store, his place and an- other store were totally destroyed to- gether with all their contents. Mr, and Mrs. John V Crocker, who have been visiting friends here met with an accident the other day which undoubtedly will make their visit a most unpleasant one. It appears they were taking alsport drive out in the township of Stephen and the road being so badly blockaded in oue place they were compelled to go through a short piece of bush, but before reaching the other side the horse took fright and ran away. Both occupants were hurled from the cutter with, terrible force. Mrs. Crocker sustaining serious injury to her back which tnay yet prove fatal.

Section No. 3, Morris, have passed a resolution to pay one dollar per annum, each. to the Brussels Post and the Herald for publishing the monthly reports.

There will also be an evening's entertainment at each place, for which a good musical and literary program will be provided Wives and Laafe Insurance. Chief Justice Armour bas just ren- dered a decision in re Grant, which will be of interest to the fathers of families and those who have to do with life in- surance. It construes the amendments to the act securing to wives and child - rens benefit of life insurance by virtue of which a man may declare by an in- strument in writing an insurance pol- icy to be for the benefit of his wife and children, and such policy shall be deemed a trust and shall not be under the control of the husband or creditors. The act and amendments provide that he may by instrument in writing alter and vary the apportionment as between wife and children. Chief Justice Ar- mour's decision makes a distinction be- tween the words "instrument in writ- ing" and "will" in the amendments to sec. 6 of R. S. 0. 136, and holds in of fect that a man who has duly declared a life insurance policy to be for the benefit of his wife alone cannot by his will deprive the wife of this benefit and transfer it to his children, He can, how- ever, do so during his life by an in- strument in writing attached to or indorsed or identifying the policy by its number, transfer the benefit from the wife alone to the children alone or vice versa, or vary the apportionment the wife and children are to receive: In the present case the wife, who is the widow of Geo. R. Grant, a commercial traveller, did not claim the whole of the insurance money, but a share in it along with the children. The chief jus- tice. however, went further and decided that she was entitled to the whole of the money, as her husband could not by will substitute the children for his wife as beneficiaries after having first declared the poliey to be for the wife's sole benefit, R. S. 0., Cap. 136, See. 6, as amended by 51 Vic, Ch, 22, Sec. 3, and 53 Vie., Ch. 39, Sec. 6, construed, DIDYOUBOIT?
