It is lot 5, con. 2 and contains 100 acres. The price paid was $3000. Farm is 1 1-2 miles East of here. We are pleased to state that Mi.s Berva Bryans has been appointed on the permanent staff of the Morse School in Toronto. She has been in this school since she went to the city. Miss Bryans is a fine teacher and will do well we have no doubt. This week Alex. Bryans, an old settler of this locality, sold his eligibly locat- ed 100 acres to Mrs. I. King, of Morris, for the sum of $6,800. There are about 20 acres of valuable bush on the place and a good house and bank barn. Pos- session will be given next March. Mr. Byrans will take a well earned rest from farm labor and will probably lo- cate nearby, at least many friends of the family hope so. EAST WA.WANOSR. A Box Social is to be held In S. S.

He is well pleased with his position. The Caldbick farms, containing 200 acres on 2nd line, have been leased to John Grasby, now on the 10th con. of Grey. He is a good farmer and the people of this cummunity will find the family worthy of their esteem. The farm of George Robb, Morris, ad- joining Brussels, has been leased to Harvey Bryans a well-known young man in this locality. Mr. Robb and family will remove about the first of nextyear to St. Catharines where the former will push life -insurance. Harvey will not surely keep bachelor's hall. Louis Hol- linger, 10th con., of Grey, has 140 acres, known as the Shaw farm, and will get possession next spring. This will af- ford Mr. Hollinger ample room to launch out and we hope he will do well with his broad acres. The farm is well lo- cated. He still holds his 6:1 acres on the 10th. Sunday, Nov. 24th.—W. H. Knox of this township passed to his reward. De- ceased was born near Ottawa, July 16th, 1847, and after residence near Clinton, came with his parents to Morris, at the age of 12 years, settling on the farm on which he died.

Her health has not been very ro- burst but we hope the change of air anal scene will prove beneficial. A vacant house belonging to Angus McKay, on the farce purchased by D. Meehan, 12th con., was burned down one night recently. There was an in- surance of $400 on it. Mr. McKay in- tended moving it to another farm. Jam,..

A. remarkable escape from death re- cently occurred, near Coatesville, Pa., to a brakeman, named clifford. The man was carried several miles hanging by one foot, with his head downward, between two cars of a freight train. When rescued he said he lost balance and would have been run over if his foot had not caught and held him. As the train rattled along his body swung from side to side, and he expected every moment that his foot would become loose and he would go under the wheels. He shouted but nobody heard him until the train had gone about nine miles.

The moon is on the celestial equator on the 2nd and at last quarter on the first. We are careful to mention all these facts, here and elsewhere, because they have direct relation as cause and effect in storm, weather and all seismic pheuoma. Low barometer, much warmer, with electric- al stories will be most natural on and touching the 2m1. Rain and winter thunder will touch many sections, followed by sudden and violent change to colder --a cold wave spreading far to the south and east. A regular storm period covers the 5th to the 9th, central on the 6th. Winter solstice, Mars and Venus periods all bear on this period. Winter storms will cov- er most parts of the country, accompan- ied by thunder, lightning and wind, es- pecially in the south. But about the new moon on the 8th, look for change to blizzardous conditions from the north- west, followed by a fierce cold wave which will penetrate far to the south and east. A decided seismic period lies from the 5th to the 11th, central on the 8th. A reactionary storm period is central on the 11th, 12th and 13th. Rain and snow will visit wide areas,moving from west to east, during the llth, 12th and 13th. A regular storm period includes the 16 to the 20th. Winter lightning and thunder will visit many localties on and touching the 18th, and violent storns of rain, turning to snow and high winds will prevail over land and sea during the 18th to the 21st. Plan before the storms for safety and comfort in the storms, and the dangerous cold that will follow them. A reactionary storm period will bring renewed storms of wide extent and great force on and touching the 23rd, 24th and 25th. The moon is full on the 23rd, at extreme declination north on the 24th and in perigee on 25th. Most parts will get a supply of snow for Christmas, before and during this period with a cold wave rushing from west to eastfrom about the 24th to 27th. Rain sleet and snow wind up the month and year. CULROSS. Report of S. S. No. 3 for the month of November, Sr. IV. M. Walters. C. Falconer, L. Falconer, J. McKinnon. Jr. IV, -F. Stapleton, N.

Mrs. Day until last Friday morn- ing seemed in her usual health. She arose about 7 a.m, on Friday, and was dressing, when her son heard her fall.
