Sas Jonn ABBOTT'S health le in a very
preonrions condition anti his decease will
not be an unexpected event. Cancer of
the intestines is his ailment.
Tam number of ships built in Canada
in the year 1870 was 420, and the valve
of the sante $2,180,270. For 1892 the
number was but 255, with a value of
6500,747.
Tana Earl of Aberdeen and Itis good
lady bid fair to make themselves very
popular with the Canuuks by their
friendliness and common sense ways of
attending to their duties. The Governor
General of this Dominion should be a
man who Is fr.' from aristocracy and
willing to mix with the every day white
people of this country. Snobbery and
pomposity may out a dash in other lauds
bat a very little of it will cover a lot of
territory in the Dominion of Caeada.
THERE are some peculiar oases brought
into court as the following from Mon -
treat will illustrate :—Judge Mathieu
rendered judgment Friday morning in a
case of Hupe vs. Lapointe. This was an
action by which plaintiff claimed 0100
damages from defendant who assaulted
him because he had teen his daughter
home after a ball. The Court granted
$75 damages. Mr. Lapointe oonld have
had a coach and four, to say nothing of a
miliary escort, take his daughter home
for less money and very much lees
notoriety.
Ax the meeting of the Felt Show Di•
rectors last Saturday the question of
levelling the ineideof the Show ring was
mooted but no action taken. It is nec-
essary that the ground be ploughed this
Fall to hasten the improvements next
year, and as this work can he done for
$1.50 per acre we would urge the Presi.
dout and Directors of the Grey Branch
Society to let the contract at once so that
the ploughing could be completed while
good weather continues. This is a neves•
sary and important improvement mud
one that will yield a good revenue for the
necessary outlay, hence the desirability
of prompt action.
Junes Do'zoa, metaphorically speaking,
sat on the defendant in the Erb vs.
Holmes line fence dispute, last Tuesday
evening, ab the Division Court here. like
a thousand of brick aid we have an idea
that said defeudaut will remember the
Judge as long as he lives for his unasked
yet freely expressed opinion of Mr.
Holmes' make up. The Judge may have
born too severe but he nevertheless spoke
many words of wisdom concerning guar•
relsoms neigbbore and the tragic results
of some of these egnebblea over trines.
We are not risking much when we state
that in scores of instances there has been
time and money encu;;' frittered away
in law over a 40 rod line fence to
enclose two hundred acre farms and leave
enough money left for a fireworks display
when the job was completed. A. poet,
who did not hear the evidence in this
Court but who was supposed to know
what he was doing, wrote
"Thy neighbor T It is he whom thou
Hast power to aid and blase,
Whose aching head and throbbing brow
Thy soothing hand may press."
Oowsmnnanr,E talk has been indulged in
respecting the question of exempting the
planing mill recently purchased by
Amen, Bros. While a large number of
our residents favor the exemption there
are a good many others who as strongly
object. That the factory will be well
managed by the new proprietors is not
doubted. Nor is there any likelihood
but that it will be run on as broad a basis
as the neoessities of the surrounding
country demand, hence we see no treason
why the unexpired term of exemptiou
granted to Smith Bros. should not be
continued to the new firm. They have
always paid their employees promptly
and deserve some recognition for their
efforts in the past. Tins Pos'r, believing
that the Council exempted the factory,
not the proprietore, will support the
oompletion of the period to the Arnett):
Bros. They have already given proof of
their intention to boom the business by
the removal of the sawmill from Grey,
and the letting of contracts for necessary
repairs and improvements and inebsad of
potting hindranoesin their way every
Bruseelite should lend a helping band
and an encouraging word. The land on
which the factory and other buildings
stand is nob exempt so that the town is
ettduri ng no reduabion iu the collection of
taxes as o.,mpared with tho years before
the factory was emoted,

A very pleasant half•day was spent by
the children and a few of the young
people in the woods picking beech -nuts
last week. This pastime is very popular
this Autumn, though insome cases it
would not do to measure the enjoyment
by the beech•nnbs obtained.
A most interesting address was given
here on Thursday evening of last week by
Rev. Mr. Cobbledick, 13. D., of Brussels,
in the interests of the Bible Society.
He said he believed what the people
needed is information on the subject and
they will be willing and anxious to give.
A couple of weeks ago word came to
our townsman, 'Mr. Loohead, that his
son, who has been away from home for a
number of years, was dying in New

they received a telegram announcing his
death. The family have the deep eym-
pathy of the community iu Ibis unexpect-
ed affliction.
When a splendid time we had at our
social last Friday evening 1 It was a
most sociable social bttt the abundance of
calces and pie, owing no doubt to their
quality, disappeared in a rather un-
sociable way, not however before all were
supplied, even the hungry waiters. A
most enjoyable program was presented
to a crowded house. A new way has
lately been adopted here of showing our
appreciation of the presence of a favored
few as they take their seats. It is not
often that tableaux win so much applause.
A (teen competition over the big oaks
wound up the evening's proceedings.
The new Orange Hall is completed and
the big soiree Wednesday evening of last
week was the celebration of that im•

are famous for the abnndanceand quality

tion. After supper in the Hall the com-
pany adjourned to the ohuroh where the
program was to be carried out. A,

pleasing style, gave the history, tune and

of Palmerston, delivered a lengthy but
exnellsnt address. Ho said, in that
emphatic manner peculiarly his, that
Rolnanism was on the aggressive, that
.ohuroh and all politics were tainted with
it, and hence the need of more Orange•
ism, and Orangemen being true bo their
principles. The Molesworth oboir, in
their usual excellent style, interspersed
the proceedings with selections of mueio.
