THE HOROINT EXPOSITOR.
Insurance.
EnrroB Exrosrron,-The following is
clipped from your issue of the 9th ult.:
itte„ Drrear.„-Daaa Snit -Certain perns soare
ciralasang face reports derogatory to the inter-
est of the NoKillop Mutual Fire Insurance Corn-
y, and carrying around with them a copy Of
e poliey of said company, and referring parties
toe certain clause in the policy which is as fol-
lows : Such loss and damage to the amount not
exceeding in respect of the several matters and
zreperties above specified, ,the SUM set opposite
thereto respectively not exceeding two-thirds of
the actual cash value of the said properties or
law of them at the time of loss, etc. It can he
seen by the foregoing clause, that the McKillop
Insurance Company, pay in all cases the full
amount on building insured, and on contents the
mate if amount exceeds the amount insured by
ene.third, so that it is quite evident that our
company do what is just to the parties insured,
;seat a cheaper rate than the companies repre-
owed by the person circialating the reports
above referred to. Yours, etc, Saame-01,4-,
secretary McKillop Company.
From the above it appears that the
lo‘ciiillop Company fairly admits that
they pay only two-thirds of the value of
chattel property insured by them. 1st.
-They say they pay the sum insured
(set opposite) not exceeding two-thirds
of the actualcash value at the time of
loss." In other words they will pay the
sum insured if the owner loses one -third -
more. Example -suppose a person has
$900 insured on contents of buildings
sea gets $900 burned, they will pay him
WO; before he will be entitled to claim
$900,what he has been paying for he must
loose $1,200 worth of contents. Will
the MeKillop Company give him one-
third of the calls Which he paid since he
became a member of the company ?
Doubtful. A man must suffer loss of
$300 or pay a premium on $300 that he
cannot collect. Is this "just to the
parties insured ?" Would it not be bet-
ter to insure in a company that would
pay him his $900 if he lost that amount
or his total loss not exceeding the sum
insured without requiring him to loose
one-third of his property.. It is Well
that the secretary plainly and fairly
acknowledges the fact that if a man in-
sures in the McKillop company for $900
on chattel property he would collect only
$600. Yours„ etc., M. MoQuana.
News Notes.
Miss Mamie Riggs, eldest daughter
of Mr. John Riggs, merchant, of Lis-
towel, died a few days ago at the early
age of 19 years. She was a 'very amiable
young woman, and had just returned
from the Ladies' College in Toronto,
where she had been for some time in
pursuit of her studies.
-On Saturday evening a lamp which
was being carried by a young lady nam-
e Maloney, residing near Ottawa, took
fire, communicating the flames to the
clothing of Miss Maloney, and before
the fire could be extinguished. the victim
was terribly burned. In order to save
the house and those about her the plucky
girl rushed out of doors with the lamp
still in her hands. This feared the acci-
dent will prove fatal.
-A shocking fatality occurred at
Norwich the other morning. While J.
B. Hue,. aged 15 years, was driving a
team they became frightened and ran
away. The lad endeavored to jump
from the wagon, but his feet caught in
the reins, which became knotted about
his legs. In this fashion he was drag-
ged for a long distance, and when the
horses were stopped he was found dead
and fearfully mangled.
-W. A. Fraser, one of the eight
canoeists on a voyage of 1,000 miles
writes to a friend that they reached
Mattaw, August 5th, and started down
the Ottawa River the same afternoon.
They have now been nearly five week's
on the water. On the 4th inst. they
crossed Lake Nipissing under sail. The
trip up Georgian Bay and French River
was simply grand. Mr. Fraser has kept
a diary, which along with his Sketches,
will be interesting to examine. When
the city of Ottawa is reached the party
come to Kingston by way of the Rideau
Canal.
-James Armstrong, aged eighty-
three, who had been crossed in love and
whose attentions had been rejected by a
spinster seventy-six years of age, com-
mitted suicide on Sunday, at Lowe,
about telt miles from Ottawa, by hang-
ing himself to a beam in the barn of a
neighbor, where he was found about
twenty minutes after life had become
extinct. He was a well-to-do farmer,
and before committing the rash act
made a will bequeathing to his fair
intended all his property, real estate and
personal. He should have altered. to
his will -before he shuffled off.
-Thursday was children's day at the
Prohibition camp, Hamilton, and ex-
cursions from Milton, 'Oakville, To-
ronto, Meaford and other places helped
to make an enormous crowd at the
grounds. There was singing by the
White brothers and a chorus of children,
Professor Jones presiding at the organ.
Speeches were made by Rev. Mr.
Brethour, Mr. T. .McGillicuddy, of
Goderich, Ed. Carswell and others.
The meeting at the camp at night was
an immense success, there being over
-10,000 present. Mr. J. W. Bengough
gave one of his comical illustrated lec-
tures.
-The Athabasca, one of the Canada
Pacific Steamers, on her last trip down
had the honor of an interesting event
which does not often happen on lake
steamers. Mrs. Yellowlees, formerly of
Bowmanville, but lately residing with
her husband in Manitoba, was on her
Way to visit her friends in Bowinanville,
but on Sunday night gave birth to a fine
bay. Though the interesting event
was unexpected,.the» officers of the Atha-
basca were equal to the occasion. Capt.
Foote as the father of a family felt quite
at home, while Purser Chapman prompt-
ly decided not to collect fare from the,
extra passenger, and Steward Fleck
made every provision for the comfort of
the mother and son. The young mariner
and his mother are both doing well, and
on Tuesday Rev. Mr. Somerville baptiz-
ed the new arrival by the name of "Her-
bert Athabasca."
oats, wheat, tobacco, potatoes, sweet
corn, all prospering. People well con-
tent. Mr. Wolf has farmed in the state
of Iowa, but never saw land so easily
worked as his farm in this Regina dis-
trict. Any amount of fine wild cherries,
gooseberries, cranberries, Saskatoon
berries.
-The agricultural show of Dennis
county will be held at Virden on the
first Thursday in October. Six hun-
dred dollars will be given in prizes.
-The Manitou Mercury says that Mr.
A. Rinn, who lives near the old cross-
ing, had his arm broken at the wrist a
few days ago by a kick from' a horse.
-The tracklayers on the Manitoba
and Northwestern Railway have reached
a point twelve miles beyond Birtle, and
are proceeding at the rate of one mile
per day.
- Advices from Edmonton, dated
August 6th, say: Harvesting is in full
blast, and the yield is about the average
in quality and quantity. The, weather
is favorable, being dry and warm.
-During last week 247 immigrants
arrived in Winnipeg, the daily arrivals
being as follows: • Monday 34, Tuesday
68, Wednesday no train, Thursday f.8,
Friday 13, Saturday 56, Sunday 18.
- Mr. Cook, of the Morden district,
has a forty -acre oat field and the aver-
age length of strati is 4 feet 6 inches,
some of them being over 5 feet high.
These oats were not sown until May 20th;
-Mr. James Simpson, who has leased
the old Johnson farm near Thornhill,
has over one hundred acres in wheat,
which he estimates will turn out about
twenty-five bushels to the acre. The
laud was summer followed last year.
-Two wolves attacked a colt last
week near the village of Schanzenfield.
Tne colt was following a wagon when
the wolves made a rush .at it and en-
deavored to separate it from the wagon
and drive it into the timber along the
creek.
-A Canadian Pacific Railway official
is about to make the journey from Port
'Moody to Winnipeg on horseback, a
alista,nce of over 1,400 miles. During
the journey he will closely inspect the
whole of the -telegraphic system along
the railway.
-The Regina Leader says: The In-
dians from Shoal Lake (where they are
Presbyterian) were in town this week
collecting for the Presbyterian church.
When the Indian takes to collecting for
churches, his complete civilization can-
not be far off.
-A Shoal Lake despatch says: Mrs.
Thomas Langley, while on her way
from Fort Pelly to Meadow Lea, was
delivered of a child this morning. The
child dropped through the saloon on to
the track two miles west of Killoe- stat-
ion. The railway company promptly
sent a messenger back and found the
child still living. . Dr. Oliver was de-
spatched to Killoe, where he is still in
attendance. He says the child may live.
the mother is doing well.
-Mr. George Sanders, a careful ob-
server and a practical farmer, whose
business at present keeps him travelling
through the country, reports that the
crops, south of Brandon, have made the
most rapid growth during the past
three weeks, and have proved an agree-
able surprise to everyone. He thinks
that wheat will yet be a full average
crop in that district. Oats will also be
an average. Harvesting is pretty well
under way, and farmers are feeling in
very much better spirits than they did
three weeks ago.
-On Saturday night the 7th inst., a
heavy storm passed over Regina, lasting
several hours. The lightning was ter -
rifle. At 22 o'clock it struck the Can-
adian Pacific Railway station at Pascpas
completely demolished the bay windows'
of the office, destroyed the telegraph in-
struments and tore out the wires. The
telegraph table, which extended across'
the office, and one of the chairs, were
broken into splinters. The agent and
postmaster at the time were knocked
senseless to the floor, -and recovered
barely in time to save the building from
ashes. The postmaster's leg and arm
were injured slightly.
-Mr. Smith, a young Englishrrian,
well known in the neighborhood of Mor-
den, has for a few years been paying his
attention to Miss Rebecca Smith, a far-
mer's daughter residing -near Mountain
City, and it seems that the young lady
did not return his love: On Thursday
of last week the lover met his sweetheart
at the residence of Mr. Newton Lane,
and requested her to marry him. She
positively refused, whereupon Mr. Smith
teft the house and went tp the stable.
In a short time he returned to the house
and called for his love, receiving no re-
ply he went up -stairs and found found
that she had locked herself in a room.
He then forced open the door, dragged
her down stairs and out into the yard,
giving no heed to her screares. Here it
was found that he had Mr. Harry Lane's
horse hitched to a gig, into which he
threw her, and jumping-into:the rig he
turned the horse's head towards the
boundary. After a little she seized a
rein and tried to turn the horse towards
borne; in the struggle that ensued some
part of the gig gave way, and Miss
Smith fell out and. immediately made for
Mr. Lane's house, which she succeeded
in reaching. Mr. Smith continued his
journey towards the States. On the fol-
lowing day l'Sfr. Newton Lane and an-
other gentleman gave chase to the would-
be kidnapper and overtook him at Elk -
wood, Dakota. He was arrested and
tried last Tuesday for kidnapping, horse -
stealing and house -breaking, and found
guilty, and will doubtlesA be handed
over to.the Canadian authorities to be
further dealt with.,:

The number of imported cattle in quaran-
tine at present is 340, valued by Mr.
McCrae at$300,000. Mr.Andrew Allan's
herd, which came out in the same vessel
as the MeCrae herd, is valued at over
$20,000, but they have been isolated and
no disease has broken out. The other
herds in quarantine belong to Mr. J. J.
Hill, of St. Paul; Dr. Craik, Montreal;
Senator Cochrane, Eastern Townships;
Mr. Dawes, of Lachine, and others.
Reminded.
That was a witty gentleman who ac-
eounted for the difference between his
gray hair and black whiskers by saying
that the hair was "twenty years older."
There was both wit and good sense in
the young wife who reminded her hus-
band that she was not quite as old as his
mother. The hint is a good one to young
Married people, who too often forget to
excuse each other's imperfections.
"How do you like my cooking?" said
a young wife to her husband. "Come,
now, give me your honest opinion, of it.
How does it compare withyour mother's?"
"If you want my honest opinion,I will
say your cooking is very fair, but it is
not quite equal' to mother's."
"I did not expect it would be equal
to your mother's, but I wish you to re-
member that your mother had many
years' experience before you were cap-
able of forming a judgment of her cook-
ing."
"I declare, you are right! I never
would have thought of that. The poiet
is a good one, and is entirely overlooked
by young married men."
And, unfortenately, it isn't thought of
by young wives. The idea of any man
saying to a youn$ girl just a year or two
out of school; " YOU can't cook as well
as mother," or "You don't manage as
well as mother," and never.take into
consideration that mother has had an ex-
perience of forty or fifty years! Suppose
the young wife should turn round and
retort, "You're not half as skilful a
workman as my father !"

Valuable Cattle Slaughtered.
A despatch from Montreal, dated
August 15th, says: .For some days past
reports were current here that pleuro-
pneumonia had appeared among the new-
ly imported Galloway cattle at the quar-
antine station at Quebec. Nothing de-
finite, however, could be ascertained on
the subject until the arrival_ of Dr. Mc-
Eachran, the Government Inspector,
yesterday, from the capital. He con-
firmed the report, and stated that every
precaution has been taken to prevent the
disease spreading. A Mr. McCrae, of
Guelph, a well-known Canadian import-
er, is the heaviest sufferer by the killing;
and cremation of his cattle. The In-
spector says the Minister of Agriculture
has given instructions. to deal with the
disease in the most stringent manner. It
has therefore been determined to slaugh-
ter and cremate Mr. McCrae's herd and
everything they have come in contact
with, and the general quarantine regula-
tions will be, if possible,more rigorously
enforced. It is the Inspector's opinion
that they will be fully able to control

MONTREAL, Aug. 17. -Prices have scarcely
rallied any since last week, and few or no sales
were made at over 4c per lb., while the general
run of pretty good cattle were sold at from 3c
to: Mc, and leanish beasts at 21c to 24c., and
some of the leaner old ones would not sell at over
2c per lb. Calves have been plentiful and pretty
low priced of late, or from $2 to $4 each for
common veals, and from 85 to $8 each for su-
perior ones. Sheep and lambs are plentiful and
sell at about the same rates as were paid last
Week, or from $2.25 to $4.50 each for sheep, and
from $1.50 to $3.25 each for lambs. Hogs are
rather scarce and sell at from 51c to 54.c per lb.
There has been a fair business doing in the horse
