Some time ago, a farmer, insured in the Cniross Mutual Insurance Co., took some of his grain to the mill in Brussels. While it was there, the mill and contents were destroyed by fire. The farmer made a claim on the Co. for the value of the grain, and the Co. declined payment. Another far- mer, who also had grain destroyed in the mill at the same time, presented a claim to the Co. in which he was insured, and that Co., it seems, recog- nized the claim and paid it. The question has aroused some interest, because, if the claim is legal, both Companies should pay ; if not legal, neither should pay. The following is Barrister Vanstone's opinion :— Culross Mutual Insurance Co. DEAR SIRS :—I am requested to ad- vise you as to whether or not you are liable for a claim made against the Company by a policy bolder for the loss of some grain belonging to him while in the mill at Brussels. I un- derstand that this grain was covered by his policy while contained in the building mentioned in the policy, but which was subsequently removed by him to the mill at Brussels and while there was destroyed by fire. I have no hesitation whatever in advising you in the negative. You only contract to insure property of this kind while contained in the build- ings specified in the application and policy, and a charge of this kind is covered by the third printed condition on the back of the policy. If you are liable for the Loss of a few bushels of grain under circumstances of this kind, you would be liable under the same principle for any quantity, and I do not fancy that any farmer would be foolish enough to contend that if a farther removed say one thousand bushels of grain from his barn where it was covered by an insurance policy, to a mill and had it all destroyed by fire while in the mill, that the com- pany would be liable to make good his loss without having received any notice of the change and consented thereto. The contention appears to me to be an utterly absurd one. If yon were insuring grain while con- tained in the grist mill, you would necessarily have to charge a premium of possibly ten or twenty times the amount which you would ask for a farm risk. Aside from all other ques- tions, however, item three above re- ferred to protects the company from all liability in a case of this kind. There is no doubt whatever in the matter, and I can hardly understand a claim of the kind being made seri- ously, Yours Truly, R. Vanstone. CELEBRATES ITS 40th ANNIVERSARY. flonni1s Of all the agricultural magazines published in Canada to -day, there is none that's() thoroughly and capably covers every phase of farthing indus- tries as "The Fanner's Advocate and Home Magazine," of London, Ont. For a fine example of up-to-date Cana- dian journalism, it is second to none. The quality of the paper and illustra- tions used are the very best, and the topics reviewed are always alive, up- to-date subjects, of vital importance to the farming community, and are handled in a scientific and masterly manner. A glance through any issue of the magazine will reveal the following array of divisions, under which the interests of the agricultural world are discussed : First of all we find a gener- al editorial survey on the most timely topics of the day, followed by a. sec- tion devoted to "Horses," another to "Live Stock," then "Tho Farm," "The Dairy," "The Garden and Orchard," "'The Apiary," "Poultry," and "The Farm Bulletin," which includes, among other things, reports from the foremost markets on the continent, and a column for "Questions and Answers," for the sole benefit of the snbscribers. Then there is the Horne Magazine, an ideal department, charmingly adapted to the interest of the farmer's home and family, as each one of the following sections would indicate: "Life, Literature and Education," "The Quiet Hour," "The Children's Corner," "About the .House," "Ingle Nook Chats," "With the Flowers," ''llealtli in the Horne," and special articles by other contributors. "The I+'ariner's Advocate and Monte Magazine" is the oldest farm paper in the Dontiftion, and this year is cele• bratin its 40th anniversary, and we sineerely wish it many more Ores- peroue yearns, which it truly merits, Miss A. T. Disney is visiting friends in Toronto. Anson Robinson of Teeswater spent Sunday in town. Miss Mande Shork returned home last week from Sarnia. E. A. Hammond spent a few days in Port Huron last week, Mr. 'Walter Constable of Ohio is visiting his brothers in town. Miss May Campbell of Ilarristou is the guest of Miss Ethel Hicks. Miss Paul of Blnevale was the guest of Miss Martha Bosman over Sunday. Herb. Connland i,f Glenannan has returned to Niagara Falls for the sunt - mer. Anson Dnli nage of Bengston spent a few days last week with relatives in town, Miss Cruikshank of Petrolee, is visit- ing her brothers, Messrs, George and W. H. Cruikshank. AIr. Robt. Sturdy and daughter of Owen Soend spent last Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Levi Lott, Mrs. I, 0. Richards of Brussels was the guest of Mrs. Little, John street, for a couple of days this week. Mrs. H. H. Wightman spent a. few days in Toronto this week, before leaving for the west, on Friday next. Miss Pearl Awde arrived home from Toronto last Friday, and will fill a situation as stenographer at the Wes- tern Foundry. W. 0. Thompson, formerly of Wing - ham, left Toronto for Hamilton on Monday to fill his new position with the Gurney Foundry Co. in their branch store. Miss Murray, who has been spend- ing a few weeks with her sister, ivlrs. 3.1MInlvey of Belmore, and Miss Mul- vey of town, returned to her home in Luean last week. -1' Daum!) '1�1ews� Cottage prayer -meeting will be held next Sunday afternoon at 2.30, at Mr. Merkley's, corner of Patrick and Leo- pold streets ; all are welcome. Rev. A. E. M. Thomson, who is well known in Wingham and vicinity, has been invited by the official board of the Merlin Methodist Church to return to that charge for the fourth year. The members of the St. Helens con- gregation of the Church of England, last week showed their high apprecia- tion of their popular rector, Rev. Mr. Saunders of Lucknow, by presenting him with a Ioad of oats. The Praise and Prayer service held in the auditorium of the Methodist church on Sunday morning has been enjoyed by many. Everybody is wel- come. Come and enjoy the service, commencing at half past nine. Sunday night, Pastor Fitch will oc- cupy the pulpit of the Baptist church. Both morning and evening services will he given up to the general subject —"Lessons from the Cross." A cor- dial welcome is extended to all who rare to come. The many friends of Rev. Dr. Gifford, formerly pastor of Wingham Metho- dist Church, will regret to learn that he has been compelled to give up active work, owing to paralysis. It is said that he will superannuate at next meeting of Conference. Next Sunday, Rev. T. S. Boyle's subjects will be : — morning — "The Church and the town" ; evening "Bar- abbas." Next week will be Holy Week, and there will be service every evening at 8 o'clock, and on Good Fri- day, morning prayer at 10.30. Next Sunday will be the anniver- sary of Wingham Epworth League. Mr. C. B, Keenleysicle, of London, will preach, morning and evening, in the interests of the League. Mr. Keenley- side, as the author of "By the Banks of the Besor" and "The Upper and Nether Springs," is well known to many. He is an enthusiast on mis- sions, and will be listened to with pro- fit next Sunday. The Mitchell Advocate has this to say of Rev. W. G. Howson, who has been invited to Wingham:--"Fully six hundred people attended. the Methodist church services on Sunday evening. The preacher was Rev. W, G. Howson, the pastor, and he took for his text part of verse 30, of Psalm 60--"I will praise the name of God with a song." From this the Rev, gentleman delivered an excellent ser- mon on music, showing that the Bible was a book of song as well as praise, As a pulpit orator, we doubt If Mr. Howson has ever been equalled in Mit- chell. His flow of langonge is really wonderful, while his descriptive pow- ers almost entrance his audience." Brussels. Last week Hugh Ramsay and faint- ly moved into Brussels from Grey township. A. new smoke stack was placed in position at Brussels Salt Works on Wednesday. Manufacture of salt will be resumed as soon as the necessary repairs iwe completed. Robt. Thomson has let the contract to peter McDonald for his new cement driving barn and stable to be placed in the rear of the Cold Storage block this spring. Buildings will be 20x20 feet each with iron roof. The estimated cost will be $800. Mr. Thomson sold the barn now in use to Geo. Muldoon, of Brussels. The Hart 100 Here farm, Elms town• ship, was not sold last Saturday by public auction as the reserve bid was not reaehed, but B. Gerry, of Brus- sels, afterwards purchased it paying $2,300 for it. This property is located near the oil field owned by the Drus- selts Oil Co, and was one of the leased properties helm b1► the eeMpany, Lower Wingham. Rake up the back yards and get things into spring-like trim. family M. Law has removed his f.aui y from Upper 1Vingbant to Lower Town. - Very soon, the children will be able to patter to the Lower Town Col- legiate in their little bare feet. Lower Wingham residents are glad that the water slid not rise high this year as usual ; it behaved itself very avell. Frank Ring found it necessary to go to the hospital on account of an affliction in his eyes. We are pleased to say he is doing nicely. How forgetful people are 1 I sup- pose it will be necessary to remind them again that fast driving over the bridges will not be tolerated. Joe Ring, the efficient clerk of the Canadian Express Co., has been laid up for some time with a severe form of rheumatism. He is some bettor, and we hope will soon be fully re- covered. Mrs. D. Welsh has been very ill for the past few weeks, The tronhle be- gan with a severe cold, but has de- veloped into some form of blood poi- son. We hope soon to report her con- valescence, Wesley Ansley has been suffering from that painful affliction, inflamma- tory rheumatism, and has suffered in- tense pain. We hope to see this esti- mable young man soon able to resume his duties at Glenannan, where he is teacher. Mr. Barber, of Barber & Sons, Mea - ford, was here last week, taking mea- surements, etc„ and figuring on a new waterwheel at the Electric Light plant.

McDonald has returned to his old stand at the hotel. We under- stand that Mr. McDonald intends fol- lowing the painting, white Mrs. McDonald will attend to the wants of the travelling public. Mr. E. Gaunt, who is a sufferer with blood -poison, is able to be up all day now, but cannot go out yet. Dr. Jamieson did not expect him to be out by the 24th of May at ono time, so Ed. is doing very well. A heavy cold, somewhat the nature of the grippe, has been keeping sever- al of the inhabitants partially or en- tirely confined to their houses lately, but the balmy spring air of the last few days ought soon to renovate their systems. The writer was among the sufferers. Last Friday evening Garney Well - wood drove into our village with a 3 - year old colt hitched to a cartbelong- ing to J. T. Holmes, 'with whom he is employed. He tied the animal in front of Dobie'e, and %vent in a minute or so. The colt tried to walk around the post, and succeeded in upsetting the cart, which upset himself. In his struggle to regain his feet he broke loose from the cart; no damage was done beyond the breaking of a. couple of straps. ;1: Jamestown.

Land has risen greatly in value late- ly, according to the Assessor's idea. The Council will, we hope, rectify the error of assessing above value. A very able sermon was preached last Sunday, in Westfield, by the pas- tor's eldest son, who has been preach- ing for the past year in the West. Sincere sympathy goes out to Mr. Thos. Black and his family, deprived as Mr. Black is of an affectionate wife, and his fancily of a kind mother, De- ceased was a great sufferer from that dread disease, cancer of the stomach. She finally relapsed into unconscious- ness until she passed away. The fu- neral on Thursday was largely attend- ed. Her six sons were pall -bearers, and bore the remains of a kind another to her hast resting place. Deceased's maiden name was Margaret Wight - man. For forty years she proved a faithful partner.

The daughters are --Mrs. Sack - rider of New Ontario, Mrs. 'Wigbtman of La Riviere, Man., Mrs. Bennett of Wawanosh, Mrs. S. Charters of Mon- tana, Etta and Della at home.

We are pleased to hear that Mrs. McCourt and Mr. Alexander, two re- spected pioneers who have been very ill lately, are beginning to improve in health again. Jas. D. Howatt, East Wawanosh, has engaged a young man just arriv- ed from Scotland to assist him in working his farm.

Now that spring has made its ap- pearance, work on the Guelph-Gode- rich railway will be pushed rapidly to completion. The briclge•boilclers are busy on the new bridge across the railway on the gravel road from An - burn to Blyth, What might have been a serious ac- cident happened last Sunday evening. While Mrs. McCourt, of Dungannon, ?vas driving along the road near Craig's mill, in some way or other the reach under the buggy broke, allow- ing the front wheels to become free and the front part of the box to drop to the ground, This frightened the horse and he ran away, but was caught on Geo.

The funeral of the late Dr.. S. B. Smile took place nn Wednesday last, and the large attendance very strong- ly testified to the love and esteem in which he was held by all who knew him as a citizen or professionally. The services over the remains were con- ducted in the Episcopal Church by the Rector, Rev. T. H, Farm, after which they were conveyed to the Wroxeter cemetery for interment. He is sur- vived by his widow, a son, Dr. N. B., and a daughter, Mrs. F. 0. McLean of Birmingham, Alabama, U. S. Mr. B. F. Calm, our harness -maker, made a narrow escape of what ?night have been a fatal accident on Sunday, 25th. It seems Mr. Carr took the ser- vices in hand at the funeral of the late Mrs, Andrew Miller, Howiek, instead of Rev. Mr. Osterhout, who could not attend, and while driving there on the hearse at a turning it tipped over suf- ficiently to cause Mr. Carr to slip off between the horses and the hearse. Fortunately the horses were quiet and he escaped with the fracture of one or two ribs ; however he was able to ef- ficiently conduct the services both at the house and cemetery and again to preach at Jamestown.

Chittick, had tele misfortune, last week, of being kicked in the face by a horse. We aro pleased to see that he is again at his work. It would take quite a blow to keep William away from his shop. A very pleasant event took place in Streetsville last Wednesday afternoon, when Mr. Sohn Irwin and Miss Jane Baker, both of Belmore, were united in the holy bonds of matrimony. The interesting ceremony was performed by Rev. Mr. Stewart, formerly of Bel - more. Mr. John Baker supported the groom, while Miss Mabel Baker acted as bridesmaid.
