Value In Swine Husbandry.There is vo nore prolific dissem- Inator of swine diseases op the general farm than the hog wallow, says a Missouri bog grower.\u2018J'he animal absorbs lots of impure water from the wallow, as well as belng exposed to the ravages of the germs and vermin which abound amid the filth of the bole.\u2018I'here 15 no more active spreader ot hog cholera throughout the herd than this bole in which the awine may lle during tbe heat of the day.A wallow 18 not necessary during the period of warm weather to keep the anima) cool.If sufficient shade is fur- pished for the herd on severely hot days tbe animals may be occasionally sprinkled with cold water, and this wilt protect them against any dangers of supstroke or overheating.The hog wallow on the general farm is absolutely unnecessary.\u2018I'he rooner the average farmer begins to appreciate tbls the sooner will the protite from his swine department materially Increase in amount and volume.\u2018the preferable manner tn which to combat cholera and other noxious ailments of the swine herd is by the practice of cleanliness and sanitation in the management of tbe hogs, in the preparation of their food and in the care of their quarters.Ope of the fundamentals In such a campaign to control swine disease is the early aboll- tion of the hog wallow from the general farm.Commenting ou the above, the Iowa Homestead snys: We do not feel called upon to champion the bog wallow, particularly the pld fashioned type that is used year after yenr without making any attempt at disinfection.On the other hand, it ls next to Impossible where many hogs are kept to prevent the making of wal- Photo by United States department of ag- rieulture.The Tamworth is the ideal bacon type of bog.The body is extremely long and moderately deep.The legs, tha head and the neck are also Jong and coarse when compared with hogs of the lard type.The back is not so broad as that of most other breeds.The Tamworths are good rustlers, very prolific, and the meat is of the highest quality.The boar shown is a good type of Tamworth.lows, and that being the case the mat ter of chief concerns is to prevent these wallows from spreading disease.We will dismiss one argument advanced by this subscriber as impracticable because the average man does pot bave the time to sprinkle his bogs in bot weather.As a nonsweatiog animal a hog must hnve access to shade or a wallow during a considerable part of the suminer months and where no effort 18 mnde to construct a concrete wallow, the contents of which may be changed from time to time, free use sbould be onde of conl tar dips sod crude oll By this we mean that these products should be poured into the wallows frequently, and if this is done two purposes will be accumplished.Jn the first place, disease germs wiil be destroyed and, in the second place, coal tar or crude oll.even though mixed with oud and water.tend to keep the skin of hogs tp good condition, If a choire could always de made between u clean, bealthy concrete wallow and one made of mud we would certainly take tbe former, but as sald before when you cousider that it {s impossible to prevent bogs from making a wallow the next best thing is to keep these dls- ease breeding places from breeding dis ense by adding to them the products that we bave mentioned from time te tie, à \"dires ideas \u2014ttru Ready For the General.i Sir O'Mooro Creagh, V.C., who succeeded Lord Kitchener as Commander- in-Chief in India, tells a good story of an orderly whom he thought particularly stupid.On one oocasion the general got angry with the man, and shouted, \u2018Why, you noodle, I don\u2019t believe you know what w-0-m-a-n Is!\u201d Promptly the man replied, \u2018Trouble as a rule, sir,\u2019 and left the general Wondering whether he was not wiser than he appeared.The Wash Boiler.A faucet.on the wash boiler is said to be an excellent thing.Instead of lifting out the clothes after boili: them open the faucet and let the boiling suds drain into a tub or pail.The clothes may be more easily removed to the rinsing tub after the boiling water has been drawn off.A plumber will be able to fit a fhucet to a boiler at | small expense.PRES SW v LAUNCHING A VESSEL.The Cruc:at Moment Comes When She Takes the Water.That a launch is a matter of ruathe- matics, as well as of great skill and labor, is shown by the fact that the man of science who has the matter in charge always makes a set of calculations showing the strain ~f the shi and its precise condition at practically every loot of the journey down the ways, It a boat should get in the way or it it should take an unusual length of time to knock out the keei blocks, or if any one of half a dozen things should cause serious delay, the scientific man knows just how long he can wait and just how far the limit of safely extends.There is always one supreme moment in a launch and it is at a time that escapes the average spectator, It is when the vessel g.: fairly well in*» the water.This is when an important factor known as the \u2018\u2018moment of buoyancy\u2019 comes into play.1i you can imagine a vessel sliding down an incliLe without any water into which to drop you can sec that the vessel would tip down suddenly at the end which has left the ways and would rise at the end still on the incline.But really in successful launches the stern of the vessel is gradually lifted up by the water, and this throws the weight forward on that part of the stip still resting on the ways.The force of the water is called the \u201cmoment of buoyancy,\u201d and the natural tendency of ihe ship to drop to the bottom of the stream is called the \u201cmoment of weight.\u201d Now, the moment of buoyancy must always 1) greater than the moment of weig.b, but it must not be very much greater, for if it were it would throw too much weight forward on the part uv?the ship still on the ways and might break them down or injure the plates or keel.When the English battleship Ramillies was launched this did really happen, and so great was the strain near the bow pushed right into the bottom of the vessel, It is this danger of disaster that.causes the scientific launcher to make the most careful calculations as to the conditions surrounding the ship at every foot of her journey into the water.When Evev Sailor Wore a Queue.The sailors\u2019 broad collars were devised 30 that the powder or tar on the wearer's queues should not come oft on the blouse.In the old days every sailor wore his hair in a queue and either hal the queue powdered or held together by tar.This was not good for the blouse or jacket underneath.- So detachable broad collars: were added.Sailors stopped wearing queues a century ago.But they still wear the wide collar.When Lord Nelson died the British navy went into mourning for him.Sailors put broad black ribbons op their caps and black ribbons on their blouses.And the ribbons remain to this day, not only on the uniforms of British sailors, but on those of other navies as well.The broad \"bell shaped\u201d ends of \u2018sailors\u2019 trouser legs were thus shaped so that the wearer might more easily turn his trousers up above his knees when he had to swab the decks.Deck swabbing was a hateful and supposedly degrading task.Hence the sailors called their enemies \u2018swabs\u2019 as a term of contempt.: The Greatest Singer.Probably the most remarkable singer of all time was Farinelli, the beauty of whose soprano voice remains unequalled.It was of large compass, three and a half octaves, exceeding the ordinary range by six or seven notes.His debut at seventeen at Rome in 1722 was extraordiary from his competing with a trumpet player in sustaining and swelling a note of astonishing length and power, For fifteen years he traveled extensively, anl he reached Spain in 1737, intending to stay a few months, hut remaining twenty-five years.Philip V.of Spain had fallen into a profound melancholy, and the queen found Farin- elli\u2019s voice the only remedy.\u2014_\u2014 Something Like It.\u201cWilt you have some mocking bird soup?\u201d A new waitress in a family hotel on the hill startled the diners one evening by asking this question.\u201cI'll not eat at this hotel again.I'm a member of the Audubon society.The very idea! Making soup out of mocking birds!\u201d indignantly remarked a woman.\u201cI'll take a chance on it just once,\u201d said her husband.The waitress went to the kitchen and returned.\u201cI made a mistake,\u201d she said.\"It was mock turtle soup\u201d The Only One of fts Kind.On an evening somewhere about the end of the sixteenth century s travel er from Sweden might have been observed at the door of the Rose Theatre in London.He was going to see a new piece called \u201cTitus Andronicus,\u201d and in order to follow it in the native language he bought a copy of the play.price twelve cents, at the theatre door.When he wen! home to Bweden he took the book with him to show his wife and friends what strange stuff the foreigner ranted.For 300 years it was preserved and in 1904, being discovered in the home of a countrywoman, was transferred for safety to the Lund University.The book is the only one of its kind known to exist.ner A Silent Land.In the rainless interior of Australia there is a silence of the grave.This deathlike silence has a peculiarly depressing effect.If two men are camped and one of them goes to a distart township to get provisions while the other remains behind to look after the camp the man who is to remain sags to his mate in forcible gold fields language: \u201cNow, Bill, don\u2019t you be long away.You know what kind of 8 lace this is to live in by yourself.\u201d { his mate ie away for two or three days the silence gets upon the man\u2019s nerves, and in the end he shouts in order to make a noise, and then he ls afraid of the sound of his own vuice.Tin.Who first found tin?There is a legend among the Cornish miners that St.Piran, an Irish hermit, was the discoverer.His ancient church in the arish of Perranzabuloe, in Cornwall, aid bare of sand by the sea many years ago, has recently been repaired.Cornish miners still keep the feast of St.Piran, who, according to the fable, first found tin, forgetting that their forefathers had long previously sold ib to the Phoenicians.Possibly the lege end points to the fact that this Irishman was 8 skillful metallurgist.The Solemn Veddahs.The most solemn le in the world are the Veddahs of

oently.They contain many items which serve to illuminate in a pecul- farly vivid manner the lile and ous- toms of races whose memorials lie buried in the sands of the regions about the Nile.At King's College, in the Strand, the relies discovered at Abydos by the party working under Prof.Edouard Naville are shown.The professor's principal object wus the uncovering of the building known as the Osireion, which will occupy another couple of yenrs: but in seeking a spot suitable for throwing the deposits removed from the ruins he stumbled upon an ancient settlement of the pre-dynastio ery.P erape the most curious feature of this village is two parallel linea of kilms, in rows of 11 and 12, the purpose of which it has baffled the ex- poring party definitely to unravel, Various prehistoric implements, including fish hooks, were found, and other articles of flint.Hitherto, the flint and other weapons have been obtained from graves, and were objects specially prepared; here we have the actual objects in use by the primitive villagers, just as they left them on the destruction of their huts.A number of diminutive carved figures, each carrying a hoe with a basket slung over the shoulder, were retrieved.Mr.T.Eric Peet, a member of the expedition informed a representative of The Daily Chronicle, that it' was the custom to put a box full of these quaint figures at the foot of the coffin.'\u2018They were supposed _ to be servants who would save the .dead person manual labor in the next world,\u201d he said.Relics obtained by Prof.Garstang ani his afsistants at Meroe in the

cwtis.\u2014the largest statue of those on view.Some beautiful examples of mosaic are exhibited.A Lost Play.Weedon Grossmith, the English comedian, used to tell a good story ab~ut a play by Robert Ganthony, which that gentleman asked him to read.Mr.Grossmith took the comedy, but lost it on his way home, .\u2018Night after night,\u201d he says, \u201cI would meat \u2018Ganthony, and he would ask me how 1 liked his play.It was awful, The perspiration used to come out on my forehead as l\u2019d say sometimes, \u2018I haven\u2019t had time ta lock at it yet,\u2019 or, again, \u2018The first act was good, but I can't stop to explain, etc., must catch a train.\u2019 That play was the bane of my existence and haunted even my dreams.\u201d Some months passed, and Ganthony, a merry wag, still pursued him without mercy.At last it occurred to Mr.Grossmith that he might have left the comedy in the cab on the night it was given to him.He went down to Scotland Yard and inquired.\u201cOh, yes!\u201d was the reply.\u201cPlay marked with Mr.Ganthony\u2019s name sent back to the owner four months ago, us soon as found.\u201d Rossini's Memory.Rossini\u2019s memory was lacking in retentiveness, especially in respect to the names of persons who had been introduced to him.This forgetfulness was frequently s cause of amusement whenever Rossini was among com- any.One day he met Bishop, the English composer.Rossini knew the face well enough and at once greeted him.\u201cAh, my desr Mr.\u2014\" but the name escaped his memory, and to convince him that he had not forgotten him Rossini began whistling Bishop's glee, \u201cWhen the Wind Blows,\u201d a compliment which \u201cthe English Mozat,\u201d as Bishop had been dubbed, recognized quite as readily as if his ecclesiastical surname had been mentioned.Where the King Sat.Fnglish vergers no longer turn an honest shilling by admitting spectators to see royalty at church.But some years ago one in a certain country church thought of something even better.King Edward had been occupying one of the pews, and after seeing His Majesty depart the clergyman return to find a brisk business going on.The verger had seen a way to assist the church restoration fund by charging loyul parishioners a few pence each for the privilege of sitting for a moment in the pluce still warmed with the royul presence, and he was nstonished when the vicar summarily atopped the traffic.rm Antique Styles.Maseuline fashions are often per- petunted through the gradual sequi.sition of a gentleman's cast off clothes by his

Mr.Barrett Browning, the only son of the famous poet, which has ooourred at the Italian town of Asolo as the result of asthma, recalls the romantic love story of Robert and Elizabeth Browning.Elizabeth Barrett's father had an almost insane objection to any of his three daughters marrying, and Robert Browning's addresses to her were perforce kept secret.Finally, on Sept.12, 1848, the two were secretly married at St.Marylebone Church in London.A week later Elizabeth, slipping out of her father's house, departed with her husband for Italy.In April, 1847, they took up their residence in Florence.Of \u201cCasa Guidi\u2019 the home where their only son was born in 1849, Mrs.Browning wrote, \u201cWe live for nothing or next-to-noth- ing, have six beautiful rooms and a kitchen, three of them quite palace rooms, and opening on à (errace opposite the grey wall of a church called \u2018S8an Felice\u2019 for good omen.\u201d Tha name \u201cWiedemann,\u201d which was bestowed on their child, was the maiden name of Robert Browning's mother, the dsughter of a German shipmaster who had settled in Dundee and married a Beottish wile.Robert Brownin Joved his mother passionately, a her death, coming soon after his son's birth, was a terrible blow to him.Mrs.Browning's father, whose family name was Moulton, and who had taken that of Barrett on succeeding t» estates in Jamaica, never forgave his daughter for her audacity in marrying against his will, When she returned to England with her husband and child he refused to see her, and when she wrote pleading that he would at least kiss the child, the letter went ungnswered.On the death of bis wife at Florence in 1861 Browning took his son to London to be educated.The boy was brought up in his father's house at 19 Warwick crescent, the poet having resolved to train his son for the university without sending him to a public school, The profession eventually chosen Ly Mr.Barrett Browning was that of an artist.Tha poet himself had at iater- vals exhibited a strong artistic bent outside literature, and occasionally suspended his other work to devote himself to modelling.The early successes of his son as a painter gave him grest pleasure.In October, 1837, the younger Browning married Miss Fannie Coddington, an American lady, and the two eventually resided in the Palazza Rezzonico, at Venice, where the poet breathed his last.The records of the lives of the Brownings show the deep affection they had for their son.hen Mra, Browning's \u201cAurora Leigh\u2019\u2019 was nearly finished, the Brownings leit Florence for England, and on the journey the box containing the manuscript was lost at Marseilies.In the same box were also packed velvet suits and lace collars in which the little son was to have made a brave appearance before his English relatives.His mother's distress at the loss of her son's wardrobe far outweighed hee concern for the manuscript, Happily the box was recovered.Robert Browning, referring to the composi tion of \u201cAurora Leigh,\u201d wrote: \u201cMy wife used to write it and lay it down to hear our child spell.\u201d Asolo was the scene not only of Robert Browning's \u2018\u201cAlsolando,\u201d but of his equally famous poems, \u2018Pippa Passes\u201d and \u201cSordello.\u201d The town was in the 16th century \u2018se residence of the beautiful Ceterina Corfaro, the last Quuen of Cyprus, after the forced resignation of her kingdom to the Venetians in 1439.The ruins of the castle that she inhabited are one of many old-time relics in the town which is surrounded by « wall with mediseval turrets.Amiable Cats, Cats are of a high strurg and sensitive nature, easily influenced by their surroundings.11 you wish a fine tem.peted, nice

When an accident befell any of the large steamships that come to Montreal difficulty has been experienced in repairing them.To overcome this a floating dock was ordered in England and, having been successfully towed across, was moored in its basin on Saturday.The cost has been enormous, With no prospect of earning enough to pay running expenses.The Domin- jon foots the bill.The minister of railways has been down in Nova Scotia and, at a dinner given him, made promises of lavish jmprovements in terminal facilities at Halifax.These s.renu- ous attempts to make Halifax and St John the winter ports of the Dominion are on a par with the efforts to compel the Northwest farmers to ship their wheat by Montreal.Water cannot be made to run uphill and trade will follow the cheapest and quickest rouies.Good crops in the West and the influx of immigrants tell in Canada\u2019s income.Its revenue has advanced by leaps and bounds and reached figures not even the most sanguine dared to predict.Ten years ago customs and excise duties did not realize 50 million dollars; last year they poured into the treasury close on 106 millions.With such an enormous increase in revenue the taxpayer had a right to expect a surplus over expenditure, but there is none.The surplus that ought to have gone to pay off debt and reduce taxation has been swallowed by railways and public works.A strike of baggage-men and freight handlers had been arranged by a union to take place onthe C.P,R.but it fizzled out, for instead of 20,000 responding to the call to walk out, not 500 did so.Labor union bosses are losing their power.An unlooked for result of the prevalence of Socialism in British Columbia was experienced in the Vancouver court of King's bench.Case after case submitted to the juries resulted in disagreements.Fi Jefe __Fingllz.it.hecame trial judge that the cause was the presence in the juries of Socialists, who showed their hatred of law by blocking verdicts of guilty.One or two Socialists in a jury is sufficient to defeat justice.The incident shows what a nice state of society we would have were Socialism to prevail\u2014thieves acquitted because cranks contend there is no individual right to property and murderers because property - holders and capitalists make the laws.The Ottawa bluebook gives the returns of Canada's trade for the past twelve months.They show that Great Britain is still by far our best customer, purchasing the bulk of all our produce, while we buy most of what we need from the United States.In spite of the two countries discouraging trade with each other by high tariffs, Canada goes to the States for what she wants, and does so more and more.Not long ago the customs officers reported we Were buying from the Americans at the rate of 300 million dollars a year.\u2014\u2014they tell us, we are haiæz- ing at the rate of over five hundred million dollars a year.Placed by natare mde by side po legislation can prevent the two peoples trading with each other and the pity is, our farmers do their trading with our neighbors under custom house fines, for instance, $4 per ton on the hay they sell and 27% per cent.on the price of the cows they sell.The daily papers had sensational reports, with faring headlines, about Britain calling out her fleet and recalling officers on leave, leaving the impression that wa was imminent.An answer from thé government benches in the house of commons explained everything.In Constantinople, and the towns along the const, are tens of thousands of Christians, and the fear was entertained that as the defeated Mohammedan eoldiers crowded back they would seek revenge by pg them.The Great Powers realized the danger and with the consent of the Saltan are sending mep-of-war to anchor off every place where a rising might be.Britain has vast commercial interests in Turkey and will not be slow to proteet them, and will do so without sidizg with either Turk or Balkan, That the danger to Christians is gitét ls shown.by what is happening Wherever the Turks are besten, While retreating they kill every Christian they come across.A correspondent re -ports~The Turkish losses sre en- \u201c * ormous.Their line of retreat can be traced by a long trail of dis enrded Weapons and objects of equipment, and, sad today, also by the burning villages og bodies of Professor Wilson is president of \u2018the United States for the next four years.Full returna are not in, but there is no doubt of his election There has been a remarkable turnover, for such Republican strongholds as Massachusetts and Maine went Democrat.Apparently Wwil- son has carried every State except eight.Taft is credited witha majority jn Vermont and Wyoming, and Roosevelt with having carried Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan.Oregon, and Washington.Fuller returns may show Taft led in Pennsylvania.Both he and Roosevelt admit they are defeated, the latter declaring he accepts the verdict of the electors \u201cwith entire good humor and contentment The result is due to the general discontent over the high cost of living, for which the tariff and the combines are blamed.Had the Republicans carried out the pledges made four years ago, that they would lower the tariff generally, abolish duties on food, and break up the combines, the result would have been different.Talt did his best to redeem his pledges but a Senate that represents the manufacturers and combines and not the people was too much for him.With the fuller information we now have of what has been happening in the East we can form a competent idea of the great battles that have followed so quickly on one another, Turkey declared war three weeks ago, in the belief that she waa ready to meet the onset of the four allies.Turkey was not ready, but the Balkan States were and poured their troops into Turkey.The Bulgarian army formed the main column and it at once beaded for Constantinople.The Turkish armies were swept aside and Adrianople reached\u2014Turkey's chief fortress and second city.The Turkish generals expected the Bulgarians would sit down and lay siege to the fortress which would give them time to bring up rein- torcements.This the Bulgarian commander did not do.Leaving a sufficient army to blockade Ad- rianople; he fell on the Turkish armies that were north and east and, after much desperate fighting, forced them to retreat towards Constantinople.The greatest of these battles was that which began on Tuesday of last week and ended on Friday morning.The fighting was along a line that extended 25 miles, Four distinet Turkish columns were fought at the same time.One of them gained an ad: PSA VET \u201cthe\u201d Balghtians, but it did not count, lor the centre of the Turkish lines, was carried, compelling all to fall back.In some instances the retreat was a rout, the Turks fleeing like a mob.Three reasons are given for the defeat of the Turks\u2014first, the superior generalship of the Bulgarians, Savoff, who commanded them, has, at one leap, come to the front as a great soldier.Second, the superiority of the Bulgarian artillery.Third, the breakdown of the Turkish commie- sariat.Starving men cannot fight well, and the Turkish soldiers faced the enemy without a bite for one and two days.While being beaten, the Turkish general, Nazim Pasha, kept sending daily messages to Constantnople that he was sweeping the enemy before him.These despatches were believed until the truth could not be concealed when routed soldiers began to crowd in from the front.On Sunday, the Sultan formally appealed to the ambassadors of the Great Powers for iptervention, for a truce to enable him to offer terms of peace.The victorious Balkan States will not listen to any interference of the Powers, stating the Sultan must apply to them and that they will dictate terms.It is.not probable they will open communication with the Sultan until they have got Constantinople in their grasp.ORMSTOWN On Friday the wind was very high al} day and torned to a violent gale.About five minutes to six o'clock it carried to complete destruction all the steel frame for the new show buildings.The frame stood on solid cement piers, .but these were broken off about 3 feet down in the earth.The steel frame is bent and twisted and is apparently of no use, The shareholders held a meeting, at which the chiet engineer of the construction company vas present, who will forward a report to the company, when they will inform the shareholders as tu what should \u2018be done.The collapse of the frame is a great drawback to the contractor for the wooden covering, George Simpson, as he intended, with bis gang of men, to begin operations next wees.Rev.Dr Morison was able to fill the pulpit himself on Sabbath morning.The Rev.8, T.Martino! Quebec took the service in the evening, baving addressed Georgetown in the morning and Allan's Corners in the afternoon.He addressed the people on the subje=t of missions, giving s very interesting discourse.Mrs Thos.Moore met with a pain ful accident on Monday.She fell, breaking an arm an inch from the shoulder.\u2018Mr Black, the new manager ot the Bank of Commerce, Was in town Wednesday and Thursday of lest week, ind we hope to have him settled here shortly.The tdichers of the academy are \u2018busy preparing #ohool cobobrt.for the eomisg ve HOWICK Rev.Mr Martin of Chalmers\u2019 church, Quebec, addressed the Georgetown congregation on the obligations of the \u2018Presbyterian church in general and the Georgetown people in particular, on the question of providing funds to carry on the schemes of the church during current year.The congregation raised over $600 last year which was in excess of what they promised.This year, according to the budget plan, $1500 will be expected from the people, whieh, it is calculated, will be sbout 19 cents per family per week.The speaker, Rev.Mr Martin, presented the various aspects of the gubject in an address which was remarkable tor its clarity, conciseness, and eloquence, and no doubt his hearers were convinced ol the pecessity of fulfilling the requirements of the situation, and they will have the satisfaction of coming up to those requirements by the end of the year.It is reliably reported that the present postmaster, Mr Wm.Gebbie, at the south end of Howick, has gent in his resignation from the office.This news startled the public, as there is general satisfaction with the present officials and apy change might result in dissatisfaction.There is an office at the north end, which was located there as the residents felt that the other was too distant.It is feared that, owing to difficulty in getting another postmaster, the north end may be deprived of an office.Owing to a mishap to the electric apparatus connected to the Georgetown church, the light was cut off and consequently no services were held Sunday night.Mrs Andrew Roy, Whose farm was sold to A.McFarlane, Australia concession, is about to occupy the residence of the late F.Robertson.Howick.Rev.G, Whillans oceupied the pulpit on Sunday with Rev.Mr Fraser and assisted in the services.The members of the Curling club, Howick, met on Monday night and appointed their officers.Thirty-two cents per pound is being paid for factory butter in the stores here.rte AUBREY Hallowe'en passed quietly.À few tricks, such as the taking away of buggies, placing telephone poles upside down, were played.The Y held a social evening at the home ot the president, Mrs 8.Reddick, A very enjoyable evening was spent.The council has received from the Quebec government the estimate for macadamizing the roads of St Chrysostome parish, which amounts to $211,000.At a special meeting, to be held Nov.14th, this will be placed before the ratepayers for their consideration.Their decision on this question is to be taken at the regular December meeting.ee NORTH GEORGETOWN By.the death of Mr Wm.Sinton op Tuesday of last week an old gettler of the 38rd concession has been removed.Born in Rox- boroughshire, Scotland, in 1821, he came to Canada with his parents who settled on lot 5, third concession, in the year 1830.(See History -of District, p.282.) Mr Sinton was of a quiet disposition, taking little interest in public affairs, but was an ardent church supporter, a life-long elder of the St Louis congregation, and for many years its precentor.The funeral on Saturday was largely attended by neighbors and friends, paying their last re- gpects to one who will be mucn missed in the community.Pour sons and four daughters survive him, also a sister, Mrs Jas.Alexander.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014vemreSwee\u2014 Ste MARTINE The fine weather has given farmers an opportunity of saving their corn, which was partly spoiled by frost and rain.It was costly work, for many had to cut it with the sickle, the land being too soft to go on with the machine.In some places, they had to carry the corn out of the field on their shoulders\u2019 to the wagon.This week everyone is busy plowing, apd few farmers are to be seen in the village.Last week a car load of coal came to the station, billed to Mi Desrosiers.In no time it was taken at $9 a ton on the car.Wood is also dear, having doubled in price, due to the scarcity of coal.Birch has been sold for $7 a cord, and toë day soft wood has reached that price.So many have no coal and very little wood that they are perplexed with winter coming.It is to be hoped a full supply of coal may come soon.Gur parish priest moved into the Lew presbytery last week ana wilt he

strewn with wreckage.BEAUHARNOIS The high wind Friday evening put the electric light out of commission for the greater part of the town.As the night was verydark it was no easy matter to get around the town.The switch has been placed for the track to the paper mill, and the track is being Jaid this week.It is to be 2200 feet from the main track to the mill, and there is tobe a spur running out from this 1000 feet long, which will pass along the back of the mill.The roadbed has been well graded and put into very good condition, All the men and horses that could be secured were used for this work.The contractors are having considerable trouble with the rock which has to be removed in the excavation, as it is very hard and dulls the drills very quickly.Four steam drills are kept going almost constantly, The works are now surrounded with electric lights so that operations can be carried on at night.As the blasts are not deep the vibration caused by them is not great.Dr Jessie McBean, of Kong-Moon, China, addressed the thank-offering meeting of the W.M.S.in the Presbyterian church on Thursday evening.Her address was most interesting and

fill up the crossings they dug up?Smaill\u2014-Yes, J.D.Bicknell-Are the scrapinge to be left as at present?In the spring they will hold the water, making pools of slush, The matter was left in the hands of the road committee.Will\u2014What about the flooring of the bridge?When ie it to be done?Smaill-We have been waiting on O'Connor Bros.to finish the \u2014il- lage road.Now that they have finished, the flooring will be laid at once.The road committee were ordered to give the work out by contract.Smaill-Every winter there is trouble with the headline road filling up and so causing cahots.I watched it last winter and noticed the drifts were eaused by clumps of brush.If these shrubs were cutout it would be better.Mayor\u2014Is this brush on the high way or in the fields?Smaill\u2014Both.Mayor\u2014We can\u2019t cut it oft a man's field unless he gives permission, Mayor\u2014I would like to see the sidewalk at Cameron\u2019s lowered to a level.It could be done

oa Cemetery street?Pringle\u2014We investigated it last year and found it would cost more than we were prepared to pay.Mayor\u2014There is a matter that I think should be brought before the board, and that is the damage being done at present by lads of the village and vicinity to property.Complaints have been made of petty stealing, damaging property, robbing gardens and annoying cili- zens, Hallowe'en night was the worst yet.In fact the carryingson were worse than for years.I like to see young folk enjoy themselves, but when young men and men around wearing masks and tearing up property, I think a limit has been reached.Another complaint is scattering sneezing powder in public places, causing much annoyance.Action should be taken to find the guilty parties and have them prosecuted, Will-I agree with all the mayor has said, and I would like to add about the men standing at night on A, M.Cappiello\u2019s gallery in such numbers that young ladies will not pass owing to the crowd.and the language many of them use.: Dupuis-A year ago Cappiello asked the council to help him to keep his gallery clear and we put a notice in the Gleaner, which kept them away for some time, but I gee they are back once more.Will=It is private property and the council has no right to interfere, I would have the secretary write Cappiello to clear his gallery.Mayor\u2014By request, Mr Philps kept the light on till after two a.mon Hallowe'en, which had a good effect, but as soon as the light was turned off had it not been for a number of residents near the bridge the larger part of the lumber for reflooring the bridge, would have been dumped in the river.Moved by Kelly, seconded hy Dupuis, that all those who raised disturbances during the past season and all who were parading the gtreets masked (other than children) on Hallowe'en be prosecuted.Mayor\u2014It would be well to offer a reward.Moved by Lunan, seconded by Will, that a reward of $25 be offered for information that will lead to the conviction of any who have been breaking the peace.Next meeting Monday, Nov.11th EE THE WRECK OF A VALLEYFIELD STEAMER The Cecilia L.was a small craft, doing service between Valleyfieid and Montreal and intervening points, She was of 192 tons gross tonnage, and was built at Valley- field about 18 months ago.She rigged up with a vertical engine and was well fitted for passenger service.She cost $7,500, and, with fittings, was worth about $0,500.She was the property of the late Captain Emmanuel Leduc, Lionel Ledue, his son; Clovis : de Bellefeuille, the engineer, and A.Gosselin, heimsman.She was covered by inaurance to the extent of $5,000.Though she was designed for passenger and freight traffic it was more especially with the latter that she dealt, She made tri-weekly trips between Montreal and Valleytield, carrying much cargo on each voyage.She left Montreal at 1 o'clock Friday afternoon, with nine passer gers, six of them women and children, and a full
