The tie in the Northern Hockey League, between Wingham and Look - now, will be played off on the rink hero, on Monday evening next, As the rivalry between the teams is keen, and Wingham boys consider they lost the last game with Lucknow unfairly, this gable is likely to be a very lively contest for honors of victory. The boys would like to see a large attend, ante, as their expenses are heavy. Removing To Toronto, Winghatalz is about to lose two re- spected citizens, Mr. and Mrs, Daviel Rush, who purpose removing to To- ronto within a few weeks.

Household Hints. Butter is excellent for a burn ; if the spot is covered instantly with butter the skin will not . blister....Touch warts and corns with a tiny brush or feather dipped in iodine, and they will. gradually disappear....A healing oint- ment for all skin eruptions is made by ;nixing thoroughly one part of bis- muth to three pouts of white vase - line .People with poor digestion should drink no water with the meals, but take a glassful half an hour be- fore, and drink plentifully an hour or so after each meal .... Equal parts of Castile soap, powdered orris root and precipitated chalk, make a good and inexpensive tooth powder....For a severe headache, a towel wrung out of hot water, and applied to 'the back of the neck, will often give instant re- lief ....The juice of an orange in a cup of hot water, taken before breakfast, is healthful and good for indigestion and constipation.

Snell, Victoria street, was the scene of a pretty home wedding on Tues- day, kith inst., when their daughter, Miss Annie, became the bride of Mr. Geo. J. Rodwell, of Middleton, .near Tilsonburg.. The bride was a member of the Methodist' Church choir, and will be missed in this relationship. The groom is a prosperous farmer, held in esteem bythose who know him. Rev. Dr. Gundy performed' the marriage ceremony in the presence of the relatives and intimate friends of the bride and groom. The bride wore a travelling snit of navy blue cloth, withh' w ito silk waist. The ceremony over, congratulations followed, and the happy company sat down to a tastily -Prepared wedding luncheon. The presents were numerous and costly, showing the esteem in which the bride and groom were held. The groom's present to the bride was an upright piano. Many wishes for a happy future accompany Mr. and Mrs. Rodwell to their home. Tobacco Is Money. At Blenheim (Ont.) correspondent says :—A novel sight alight have been seen any day this week, when very many large loads of tobacco piled high like tons of hay, were drawn into town and sold to buyers who readily paid from 11 to 13 eents a pound for this home-grown luxury that of late years has proven so prolific andp ro- citable in this neighborhood. Gil. Pardo brought in five tons in two loads which netted hint $240 a ton or $1200. Messrs, Wickwire and Mc- Pherson had three tons on one load, making a most valuable comiuodity, and bringing $720, while another big load brought nearly .$1,000. Over three ear loads of this smokers' de- light was delivered and shipped from here on Tuesday last for Montreal, the same being excellent. A small farm, well tilled, and cultivated to the White Burley brand with a few sea- sons' crop will put the owner on easy street with his pockets well lined with gold, and Southern Kent seems to be best adapted for this valuable crop. A large acreage will be put in this season. Deceased At 65. Citizens of Wingham were much surprised on Thursday horning to hear that Mr, Wm. Glass had passed away, for comparatively few had heard of his illness. He had suffered from. an attack of la grippe, which was followed by pnetunonia, and death ensued on Thursday morning. Deceased was a native of the old land. He cane to Wingham about six years ago from McKillop ; previous to residing there he had lived in Gor- t'ie. He was an hottest, industrious citizen, enjoying the esteem of his fel- low -citizens, and was it 'member of the Methodist Church. He leaves a sor- rowing widow, two daughters and one son ; one daughter is dead—the others are-- Mrs. Garvin of Win- nipeg, and Mrs. Machititer of Portage la Prairie. His only son, George, is in Vancouver. Three brothers and three sisters also remain ; Mrs. D. Millie of Ethel is one, the others are out in the west. Deceased was 05 yore of age. The funeral took place on%aWt'dtty to Brussels cemetery. His brethren of L. O. L. 701 showed their respect by attending the funeral. I)iz. Ovi.:vs, of London, Surgeon, fits glasses properly.

The Advance believes that the time is coming when peat will be used ex- tensively for fuel in Ontario, hence any information we find we give to the public. The Thamesford Star re- ports that a Peat manufacturing plant has been purchased by a citizen of Thamesford, to be run by steam and electric power, and capable of-making one ton of fuel per hour. Ten men will be employed in working the plant, and the peat can be produced for $4.5`0 a ton. It is claimed it will prove more economical than coal, and give much less waste. Auction Sales. As previously announced, George B. Turvey's auction sale on con. 3, Morris, is booked for Tuesday, February 28th; as the farm is rented, the sale of stock, implements, etc., will be unreserved. R. H. Garniss will receive the bids.

The Lucknow Sentinel has the fol- lowing : — Despite the very stormy weather on Thursday evening last, there was &large audience in the Town Hall, to hear Rev. Mr. Lowe, of Wing - ham, give his popular lecture an "Ire- land and its People," and -none went away disappointed. It was brim full of wit and humor', and the many Irish songs contributed during the evening greatly added to the pleasure of the lecture. Miss Chisholm, of Wingham, who appeared before a Lucknow audi- ence for the first time, was well re- ceived and her beautiful solos "The Exile's Return" and the "Low Back Car" were heartily applauded. Pringle & Groves are paying the highest cash price for Hides, Skins, Tallow and Wool, at Chapman's old stand. • Happily Wedded. The London Free Press gives the following account of the marriage of Mr. John McCracken of Blnevale road.—"A very pretty ceremony took place at the residence of Mr. John Perrin, of Simcoc street, on the after- noof of February 8th, when this daughter Mande was united in mar- riage to Mr. McCracken, of Bluevale, Ont. Rev. Jets. Livingstone, of Wel- lington St. Methodist church, per- formed the ceremony, assisted by Rev. Mr. McCracken, of Thorndale Epis- copal church, brother of the groom. Tho wedding guests dined at the house of the bride's father, and the happy pair left on the afternoon train for Bluevale, where they will reside. Ilirs. McCracken was one of the most popular o t un ladies in Wellington youngg a Street congregation, and a member of the choir." Worth Knowing. Two correspondents of the Scottish Fitrnier, in a late issue, recommended for the relief of cattle choked with turnips or suffering from bourn or bloating, the following simple device : Tie a round stick, about 10 inches long and 16 inches thick, firmly in the mouth, The working of the tongue and jaws in the effort to remove the stick, has the effect of dislodging the turnip and of letting off the gas from the stomach. One of the writers, going further into particulars, says the stick should be twelve inches long, Two inches frau catch end bore a half- inch hole. Into each of these holes fir a piece of ordinary plow line about 2 feet in length. One inch from these holes, or 3 inches from each end, bore another two holes (same diameter) at I angles to the holes already made for the strings. into each of these wo holes drive a piece of tough wood about six inches in length. These prevent the stick working out of the noutli, the strings being tied at the aek of the ears. Golden Wedding: Mr. end Ml's, Edward. Bosman of town returned on S,'tttualay from a happy reunion of friends, on the oc- co,sion of the Golden wedding of Mrs. Iiosnuin's 'brother, Mr, Srvinbank, of Clinton, A large number of friends joined in tendering congratulations to the aged couple who have lived to see the fiftieth anniversary of their wed- ding day. Residence Sold. Last week, Mrs, Arthur Cook insert- ed. an advertisement in our local col- umns, offering her house for sale. In- side of a week, the little advertise- ment did its work, and the ]louse is sold, Wellington Adams is the pur- chaser, at the price of $000, which was satisfactory to both parties.. Mrs. Cook and family expect to remove to Chatluctn early in March, where Mr. Cook has a good situation, News Of Death. Mrs. Ellen Elliott received the sad news last week of the death of her mother, Mrs. Vanderburg, of Petrolea. On account of the state of her own health, Mrs. Elliott was unable to at- tend the funeral, which made the bereavement even more sad. Deceas- ed was eighty years of age, and had only been ill a few days. She leaves five daughters and three sons, who mourn the loss of a kind and affection- ate mother. Anniversary Services. Next Sunday anniversary services will be held in Wingham Baptist church. Rev. Dr. Gundy will preach at 11 a.m.; and the pastor, Rev. J. A. McLean, B. A., at 7 p.m. Special col- lections will be taken at both services. On Monday evening, Mr. Thos. Scott (formerly of Wingham) assisted by local talent will entertain the audi- ence with choice selections of music. There will also be addresses by Rev. D. Perrie and Rev. Dr. Gundy. Rev. VVm. Lowe will occupy the chair. Admission 25 cts. Railways And Storms. The week now passing has been one of very decided storms and severe cold. The railways were congratulat- ing themselves upon having a fairly easy time, but for the past few weeks, the snow has been accumulating until it is beginning to cause delay, expense and inconvenience. A11 day Sunday, a gang of men and a snowplow were endeavoring to keep the road open to Kincardine, but the plow got stuck near Ripley. Another plow went up on Monday and ran into the first, completely wrecking it and the con- ductor's Van, so that they had to be burned, and at time of writing Wed- nesday morning, the road is still blocked. Monday night's train from London did not reach Wingham till nearly 3 a.m., Tuesday. On Tnesday the morning train from London got as far as Clinton, anti the horning train from Winghanh reached Clinton, but did not get, back to Wingham till next day. Tuesday's C.P.R. train, due here 1.17, slid not reach Wingham until 0 p.ln. The depth of snow and condi- tions of the roads cau8e many fears of a repetition of last winter's blockades.

WINGHAM SCHOOL BOARD. The Board met in regular meeting on Tuesday evening; all the members present except C. N. Griffin. Minutes of January meeting read and approved.

The Orillia Council has offered a free door incandescent light to every light taker in the town in.. order to popularize the electric light system. Such a light will prove not only a con- venience to the light -takers but a con- stant advertisement of the electric light department and an inducement to others to have the lights installed. Must Keep Sweet. Hugh Blain, President of the Berlin sugar factory, in an interview with the Globe, says Canada is consuming about 400,000,000 lbs. of sugar annual- ly. As the price now is about 2 cts. per lb. higher than last year, this means that the people of Canada will, if the present scale of prices continues, pay about $8,000,000 more for their sugar in 1905 than they did in 1904. Hockey Match. Wingham Hockey team went to Palmerston on Wednesday of last week to play the team of that town. It was a hotly contested game, and the checking was lively and energetic on both sides. Mr. McLeod of Forest refereed the game to the satisfaction of both teams ; score -6-3 in favor of Wingham. This leaves Wingham and Lucknow a tie for first place in the Northern League, and as Wing - ham desires to win or lose on the ice they have withdrawn the protest against Lucknow, but Lucknow will have to explain to the executive why they played Irwin and Woodgate of Ripley in the first game of the league without a certificate. This leaves a four -cornered tie in the Northern League, and three games will have to be played to decide the championship. Are you independent or have you a boss? Get out of slavery and be free.

From reports of the discussions in the House, we note that Dr. Chisholm, the popular representative of East Huron, is alive to the interests of the farmers of his constituency. When the Good Seeds Bill came up for dis- cussion, Dr. Chisholm pointed out a difficulty in the Bill, that while per- mitting the foreign merchant to ship in bad seed, the Bill would interfere with the Iocal trade. The Minister of Agriculture thanked Dr. Chisholm for his practical.suggestion. Our copy of Hansard failed to reached us, hence we cannot give Dr. Ohisholm's re- marks in full. THEN ANOTHER The House went into committee on Hon. Mr. Fisher's resolution provid- ing that apples for export sold by the box should be placed in boxes not less than ten inches ches deep, 11 inches wide and 20 inches long. This was merely a minimums size. It would be quite possible to pack in larger sized boxes. He had suggested this size as a result of many communications with the fruit -growers, and it was in the nature of a compromise. Three such boxes would hold the barrel of apples of the standard size. He said the pro- posal was the outcome of the repre- sentations of the fruit hell, the ma- jority of whom wanted the measure confined to apples for export, and therefore the resolution had been drafted on those lines. It was propos- ed that the law should not go into ef- fect until July 1, 1006. Dr. Chisholm said he would like to see more inspectors sent out by the department, so that they could in- struct the fanners as to the best method for packing apples. Personal- ly he rathered liked the idea of a standard box. Often fanners found difficulty in securing a sufficient quan- tity of barrels. He had known of in- stances in his riding of East Huron when large quantities of apples had to go to rot because barrels could not be obtained. Zion. Mr. Fisher thanked Dr. Chis- holm for his friendly criticism, and said that all effort would be made to se11d out 11101'e inspectors. Here are two occasions; where the nme)lhber for Fast Iinroil has been thanked by the Minister of Agricul- ture for his practical suggestions. Such suggestions are worth more to the farmers than a two-hour display of oratorical fireworks. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy The Mother's Favorite, -The soothing and healing properties of this remedy, its pleasant taste and prompt and permanent cures have made it a favorite with people every- where.
