With a darft, note, or cheque it is different, and they draw interest and in case of suit the interest can be added. Of course a large number of merchants, are aware of the fact and take the necessary precaution, but from the experience of the agency in its collection department it is found that the great majority are quite ignorant of the law in this respect.

Morritt, on Friday last when their daughter, Bella, succumbed to blood poisoning. Six weeks ago she stepped ou a nail and little attention was paid to it at the time, as it was not thought to be ser- ious, but about a week before her death she complained of pains in her leg and medical assistance was called in. All that human skill could do could not save her life, and she died ou Friday evening. Her. age was 10 years and 11 months Seaforth:. "'On Tuesday morning about 2 o'clock, the citizens of the town were disturbed from their peaceful slumbers by the sound of the fire alarm. The fire was discovered to be in the Recreation grounds. The south end of the graudstand was slightly burned and a few boards of the fence were also destroyed. The blaze was extinguish- ed however before any great damage was done. On Tuesday night about twelve o'clock the firemen were again caned out. This time the fire proved to be the agricultural hall. The build- ing might have been saved but owing to the lack of pressure at the water- works, the firemen were unable to cope with the flames, and being a frame structure the fire made great headway and it was soon a mass of flames. ,This will be a great loss to the owners, as it is almost time to be preparing for, the annual fall fair and also unfortunate for the Horticultural society as they in- tended holding their Hower show there. There is an insurance of $800 on the hall. It is supposed to be the work of anSineendiary and a reward of $75 is offered to the- person or persons, who can give any information regarding the origin of the fire. street watering to date.
