Chalmers of Poole, a well known cheesemaker, claims that a good marketable butter, can be made from whey, which has hitherto been going to waste. Miss Lizzie Jackson, an assistant in his factory churned butter successfully from the drippings of the curd sinks, gathered from the time the curd is cut tillit is salted. Onepound of butter can be made from the drippings of curd from 1,000 pounds of milk.

A. large number of those who took au active part in those alreadypromised stirring times have to be present, and it is believed they will be joined by many others who have their patriotic feelings and assist in snaking the affair a success. A very pleasant evening was spent in the hall of the C. O. F. on Monday evening, the occasion being, a fraternal visit front the Hensall breth- ren. At the conclusion of lodge work tote visitors, to the number of twenty, were entertained to an oyster supper, in the opera house, provided by Mr. Frank Knight. An interesting pro - grain, consisting of speeches, readings, and songs was rendered in good style, and the brethren retired to their homes at an early hour, all highly Pleased with the evenings entertain- ment. • I IttrACL. -Thehefollovin g con- cerning a very interesting event has been received, and is published as supplementary to a notice of the•wecl- ding in THE Turns a few weeks ago :--- Ballymoor, East 'Toronto, theresi- dence of Dr. C. •Moor, was the scene of a very happy event on Wednesday evening, when 11'Ir. John Balfour, of Regina, N. W. T„ aucl Miss, Jennie Mollis, daughter of Mr. Robert Me1Iis, P. M., of l3appen, were united in matrimony. Rev. P. Stealth M. A., of Innerkip, uncle of the groom, per- formed the ceremony, in the presence of a few of the immediate relatives. The groom was supported byhis broth- er, Mr. D. M. Balfour, of Mount Forest, 1 and his cousin Mr. Melville Martin, Exeter. Miss Campbell, of Lucknoof w, and Miss Mina Hutton of Forest and Miss Georgia Fitzgerald of Toronto, cousins of the bride, were the brides- maids. ` The bride was handsomely attired in white cordonnet silk, 'trim-- wed trim=i, ed with chiffon and pearls, and car- ried a boquet of bridal roses. After partaking of a dainty wedding break- fast, the happy couple left for west amid showers of rice and good wishes. R. Pickard 6e SON Au open meeting of the Royal Teal - piers will be held in the town hall, on Monday eveninee, Feb. 21th.. A splen- did program is being prepared for the occasion. Dogs carried off a quarter of beef from ‘V. Sotltheott's residence lately. It had been eat up and wars placed in an open shed to cool, when tlx: dogs discovered it. A load of young people attended the skating carnival in Lucan on Mon- day. Owing to thesnowbloekatle, those who diel not conte by train returned home yesterday with the rigs. Win. Rowtcliffe, of London Road, Stephen, held a wood bee on Wednes- day afternoon, and had a lot of wood cut. In the evening a number of young people from • all directions gathered there it spent and pleasant evening, dancing, etc. A. Q. Bobier, after many months Work and much expense has struck a splendid spring and abundance of water for his creamery. This will be a boon to Mr. Bobier, as that institut- ion has suffered seriously for want of water in the past. The spring is cap- able of supplying many such Iactores. The most severe snow storm of the season visited.this section on Monday and has continued the usual three days. Trat4c on the roads north and south has been at a standstill, but the railroa 1s.b itfe, not been seriously a;- feeted. Snow fell thickly and was blown with great force into the eon - cessions. The outer day, while driving up Main-st., a horse driven by Rev. Coup - land, of Elimville, ran away. The animal shied and Mr. Coupland was thrown out. The horse continuedits journey, but was subsequently caught without doing much damage. Mr. Coupland carefully crawled from the snow drift, shook himself and only then discovered that he was not hi- jured. Mrs. Harris, of Sarnia, daughter of James Kinuisten, of Parkhill, had a narrow escape from 'death by as- phyxiation the other night. The door of the coal stove had been left partly open before retiring, which allowed the gas to escape. Her nephew, little Keith Macleod, of Parkhill, who was visiting her, was sleeping with her and awakened her. She was very weak and did not fully recover from the effects of the gas for some time. 1 The bow was also affected. • A Chatham correspondent writes :- "After an illness of it little more than a week, Mrs. Donald McKellar, Chat- ham, died Sunday night. Previous to her marriage iu 1876, Mrs. McKellar's name was Miss Mila Bobier. She was. the eldest daughter of the late Arthur Bobier, of Dover township. She ]eaves four. - children, ono son and three daughters, the youngest being about two years 'of age. Her mother, Mrs. Bobier, still survives her, as does her sister, Mrs. Wells, of Dresden, and her brother, A. Q. Bobier, of Exeter. A few weeks ago we recorded the fact that the young people of Sylvan Methodist church visited their pas- tor there, Rev. John Hart, and brought with thein many good things to make him and his family happy, aiuongst takesmuch the best. a fur capthat he pleasure in wearing. But the older people of the Centenary congregation, 7th con. McGillivray, (a portion of the saline circuit) were not any behind the Sylvanites when they invaded the parsonage on Wednesday of last week, 00 in number, and while some piled baskets of good things in the house for the family to eat others were putting bags of oats, potatoes, peas and corn into the barn. , We referred briefly last week to the death of Fred Hartley son of Rev. Hartley, of Bluevale, formerly of Exe ter. A correspondent has; since furn- ished the following particulars :.-Fred was teaching school near Benmiller, and was ill;withdiphtheriaat his board- ing house. On Sunday he seemed better of thecliphtheria,butabout eight o'clock that evening he died from weakness of the heart. Fred Hartley was sick about a week •beforehisfather got any"word of it. It is the saddest death that has occurred here for a long time.
