He was not speaking of one house alone.It was by such means they could do much to weld together the various elements of the empire, [u a short time he would go forth as the representative of the sovereign, and ss one of the links, he hoped, that would connect Canada and the mother country.Though not a member of the league, he strongly sympathized with the motives which actuated its members, and he believed he would meet on the other side with those who would entirely respond to the noble sentiments uttered by the chairman.Though on some ocossions misapplied, the words im- perium and libertas were not, in the present cano, out of place.The purest and most disinterested care of our colonial affairs was perfectly compatible with the just and true interests of this country; and while on the one hand they toasted libertas, they would, he hoped, never forget the imperium, of which they were all proud.The Times of March B, in an article dealin with the British emigration statistics for 1847, says 306,500 persons emigrated, of whom 28 per cent.were from Ireland.As regards the destination of the emigrants, the preference is «till largely and increasingly given to the United States.In 1887 72 per cent.of British and Irish emigrants went to the United States, 12 per cent.to the Australasian colonies and 11 per cont.to British North America.For 1886 the corresponding figures were : to the United Ntates, 66 per cent, to the Australasisn colonies, 18 per cent.and to British North America 11 per cent.In the 35 years from 1858 to 1887 no loss than 4,222,377 emigrants from the United Kingdom went to the United States, and of thewe 2,165,532 were Irish, In the saine perind 647,974 went to British North America, 1,228,176 to Australasia and 271,600 to all other places.Statistics of deposits in the Jrish savinge banks given in the Registrar-General's recent report prove, npoaking genorally, that Irish poverty is a myth, Ever since 1881 the deposits have been increasing continuously, the total increase amounting to nearly 42,.250,000 sterling.The precise figures are : On December 31st, 1881, £3,765,000, and on December 3lat, 1887, £4,975,000.The money in these banks represents small savings, and comes entirely from the ricultursl population, which, be it observed, has diminished in numbers during the period.The ntart- ling statement may, therefore, be made with confidence that the tenant-farmers in Ireland, as a clans, are conniderably richer than they were nix years ago, and it may be asserted with equal confidence that the rame could not be said of any other class or community in the United Kingdom.Goneral Boulanger, the military idol of the people of France because he represents the ides of revenge against Germany, has been deposed from his command \u2014the cause, or more properly, the pretense, being that he had been guilty of insubordination in visiting Paris without leave of the war department.General Boulanger in- wists that his punishment in simply a case of persecution and that it is the consequence of seeming political necessity in the nature of a sacrifice to appease Germany.He explains that the department has always readily granted permission to other commanders to visit Paris for the most trivial purposes, and that it refused it to him when he was summoned to the bedside of his nick wife.He therefore made the visit without permimion.His degradation greatly excites the people and gives him something of the character of à martyr.Prof.Flower, of the London National History Museum, recently delivered a lecture on the Akkas, the diminutive tribe of black people in Central Africa, discovered by Schweinfurth in 1870.The Akkas he believes to be the smallest people on earth, their height usually ranging at maturity from 3 feet 10 inches to 4 feet 54 inches.The types most nearly allied to them are the natives of the Andaman Islands and the bushmen of South Africa.Itis possible that the Akkas gave origin to the stories of pigmies so common in the writings of Greek bistorians, and whose habitations were often placed near the sources of the Nile, Miss Homersham, who is lecturing in England on nursing, recommends that the sick-room should contain only two chairs.\u201cOne, a very comfortable one, for the nurse, and a very uncomfortable one for visitors who stay too long.\u201d The Emperor William left & personal fortane of $75,000,000, showing him to bave been & thrifty man as well as Napoleon the Third, who surrendered to him at Sedan, and who bad put away some millions for the rainy day which may come even to monarchs.Bismarck will be 73 years old on Sunday.His birthday is April 1, but no well-informed person ever tries to pick him up es an April 00) Paris, March 90.\u2014The Chamber of Deputies bas passed the public worship estimates with an amendment that no appointments to bishopries by the Pope not approved in the Comoordad shall be made on the death of the present ose cupants of sees.Credits for the maintenance of the Catholic, Protestant and Jewish semia- aries were rejected.

Mootrealers have no idea how the Castor clique missioners, and that the British representatives are running things down there, and Mercier is succeeded in getting their consideration left ; \u2018over as an offset to the American demands for seizures off our Atlantic coast.Coming back to the debate on unrestricted reciprocity, nothing could well be more dreary\u2019 \u2018than its course after the first three days.Member after member gets up to repeat what has been already said and to prose away, to the gratification of his own vanity and that of his, constitutents.The strongest point, to our mind, : made against Sir Richard\u2019s resolution, is, that, | ! | free trade with the United States while maintaining a heavy tariff against Great Britain, savors of injustice and disloyalty.To continue to tax British-made goods while admitting American manufactures free, is difficult to reconcile with ideas of fair-play and allegiance to the motherland, and no speaker on the op- \u2018position side bas satisfactorily met the difficulty.: , They urge that loyalty begins at home, which | is a mere evasion, and is an argument used: alone by those favorable to the separation of Canada from the Empire.Much more plausible, is the representation that our situation with regard to the States, lying alongside and divided for two-thirds of the distance by an imaginary line, issuch that the two countries cannot avoid being forced into intimate commercial relations.Those who take up this line of argument, profess to deplore the necessity of discriminating, against British manufactures, and urge that they are reluctantly forced to do so, because it is folly to expect, as the Northwest becomes filled up, to prevent by means of customs officers the two peoples from trading along a line of three thousand miles and that we may as well face the inevitable now and remove all restrictions on buying and selling be- \u2018tween the two countries.The force of the arguments urged against Sir Richard's motion is weakened by the fact that those who use them are largely actuated by selfish motives.They are all protectionists and all interested in maintaining ths N.P.and while declaiming in favor of loyalty are really defending not the Empire but a 33 per cent.tariff.They have no more notion of admitting British manufactures than they \u2018have American, and if they could, would build a Chinese wall round Canada to\u2019 compel its farmers to use what our manufac.i turers make and nothing else.Not a single {speaker on the ministerial benches has declared in favor of commercial union with Great Britain, aithough that is palpably the one tie that .would most securely bind Canadas to it, give | proeperity to our.farmers by affording them goods at the lowest price, and place the traders on the U.8.frontier at such disadvantage that | helpless in their hands, It is rumored that Mercier is having serious trouble with the Castor element in his cabinet, and that Duhamel is likely to leave it.With a prospect of having the Castors for his enemies before long, Mercier is seeking reconciliation with the English-speaking element, and proposes to take Noyes, who is likely to be elected for Sheflord, into his government.Were le to take half & dozen nominal Protestants into his cabinet, he would fail to obtain the support of the English-speaking people.He deceived them once and will never have the opportunity of doiug so again.TipiNGS from Berlin are somewhat doleful, of the new-made Emperor struggling with disease, taking exercise in his conservatories, and unable to hold converse with his ministers, Part of his duties he has delegated to his oldest son, who will be made regent should the father become worse.While this sad spectacle of the mightiest monarch in the world cheated of his glory by the finger of disease, is witnessed, his subjects are indulging in their hatred of England, by vilifying his wife and Dr Mackenzie.A despatch says: The people of Berlin continue to quietly express the strongest dislike of the Erupress and hatred toward Dr.Mackenzie.The insistance of the Empress that her marriage is a partoer- | ship and not a slavery offends the German idea and the people stand ready to go as far as they dare toward resenting any act of hers that may by any possibility be construed into interference in state affairs.The condition of the emperor is Europe's security for the continuance of peace, just as his death will be the signal of war, for the crown prince is a soldier to the core and pants to lead the German army to fresh conquests, \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE Quebec resolutions have been adopted by the legislative-assemblies of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, and rejected

belonging to the American portion of the St Regis Indians, had been down between here and Huntingdon selling baskets with a team of horses, using bob-sleighs on which was a rack.On their return they had some basket timber, and purchased some articles in the Fort.They left for home between ten and eleven o'clock p.m, not knowing that the water was running deep and dangerously who, when under the influence of liquor, howl and yell in the night-time.Even on Saturday evening last, we were treated to such exuberant spiritual manifestations.In country parts, persons uf such a stamp are allowed to do as they please, as uo one will take upon themselves the trouble of putting the law into furce.COVEY HILL.On last Saturday, March 24th, Mr John Gray of Mooers, N.Y, and a boy named David Gibault, were cutting wood in the sugar bush.His brother, Charles, was drawing the wood with an ox team, and happened to come into the bush just as the tree they were cutting was about to fall.They called to Charles to stop, but before he could do so, the wind, which was blowing very hard at the time, brought the tree down with such force and quickness that Charles either did not see the tree falling or hear the call from his brother, else if he did, he perhaps thought he was at a safe distance.However, he made no effort to get out of the way.One of the top branches struck him on the head, breaking his neck and killing him instantly.The tree wus à small maple, about 8 inches on the stump, and Mr Gray was walking ahead of the uxen and about 30 feet frum the stump when the tree struck him.The oxen were scarcely : touched by the branches.Mr Charles Gray \u2018 was the eldest son of Mr Samuel Gray of Mocers, and son-in-law of Mr A.G.C.Roberts of Hem- | mingford.He leaves a wife and two children | to deeply mourn their loss.Ï ORMSTOWN.; On Sunday a union temperance service was' largely attended in St Paul's church, when Mr Hutchings delivered an able address on individual responsibility.Rev Mr Harris gave an address which, though short, was pithy and eloquent, The Rev D.W.Morison urged all Christians to work energetically in assisting the speedy coming of prohibition, and by precept and example further the temperance reform.Mrs Morison presided at the organ, Both Sunday schools were present, and the singing was good.Upon the whole, the evening was most profitable, On Monday a Band of Hope was organized, when 24 boys and 23 girls were enrolled as its first members.They hold their first meeting in Sons of Temperance Hall on Friday.Last week this section of country feared another

our last report the following divisions have been brought into line again: Phenix, at Kensington, Mr James Wat- terson, W.P ; Kelso, Alex.Smaill, W.P.; Autumn Leaf, D G.McFarlane, W P.; Dundee,

deplored, and submitted to as what cannot be helped.Were a young man to fall into the Chateaugay, there would be hundred hauds stretched to pull him out, but when a likely young fellow takes to frequenting barrooms and runs the risk of a fate beside which drowning is enviable, no effort is made to save him.There are two ways in which something might be done.1st.Those who believe in license and who grant license should see that its conditions are observed.These conditions are\u2014 No quarrolling or fighting; order to be maintained.No gumbling.No selling to persona under 16 years of

ratepayers who sign the certificates for license, the boudsmen, and the councillors who grant the licenses voluntarily enter into an engagement with the village that these conditions shall be

not, to refrain from giving any countenance to drinking or to drinking-customs?To decline entering bar-rooms, to refuse treats, even of cigars, to show that drinking is disreputable and drinking-places are to be shunned, would have a great effect on our youths, who, unhappily, from examples set them, conceive there is I something manly in swaggering about taverns.i A little consideration among our best residents {in shaping their daily walk, would have a great effect on our youth, and for their sake will they not exercise such thoughtfulness?Until we get prohibition,

Plumb.THE MANITOBA QUESTION.The government held a conference on Saturday with their suppotters in the house in regard to the proposals fur settling Manitoba difficulty.The nature of the proposals is not yet known.Yesterday Mr Greenway, who was brought back hurriedly to Ottawa, was in Montreal consulting with the C.P, R.authorities, It is now an open secret that the government has resolved to terminate the monopoly not only in Manitoba but in the Northwest as well.So far as Manitoba is concerned disallowance of local railway charters has been exercised as a matter of policy and not as a right under contract.In regard to the Territories, however, the C.P.R.had a legal right under clause 15 of their contract to enjoy a complete monopoly.While, therefore, no compensation could be asked for the change in publie policy regarding Manitoba, the C.P.R.can say with reason in respect to the Territories, that if they surrender their legal rights they should receive compensation.The decision to throwopen the Northwest torail way competition is tremendous in its effect, and already we hear of several projected lines for which charters will be sought.The Canadian Pacific are desirous now of making a sale of the Emerson braoch, which runs to the boundary, to the Manitoba government.SCENES IN THE HOUSE.The debate on reciprocity is not expected to end in a division till to-morrow night, or rather the early hours of Wednesday morning.Long speeches have been the rule, and the figures used would fill a big book.Our past, present, and probable position in future, bas been thoroughly threshed out.The close of the discussion will be marked by speeches from the premier and Mr Laurier, The funniest speech was made by Mr Welsh of Prince Edward Island, a farmer.With both bands in his pockets he would start in with \u201cGod bless my soul, Mr Speaker,\u201d and at another point, \u201cbut, law me, Mr Speaker.\u201d Once when Mr Mitchell interrupted he turned to him and said in his quick, jerky manner, \u201cshut up.Dealing with Hon Mr Foster's reference to Canadians marrying and being given in marriage, and to the miuister's mathematical precision of statement, Mr Welsh remarked that a certain rumored matrimonial alliance, which coming event cast its shadow before, would take tho mathematical precision out of him.Mr Foster, be it known, is a bachelor, and this sally brought the blushes to hia cheek and set the house in repeated roars of laughter, echoed again and again, in which Mr Foster joined.Nicholas Flood Davin, though not a serious debater, is an erudite and eloquent speaker.In the one breath he charged the opposition with ringing the changes on the old set of bells and riding a new horse.Some one maliciously said the horse was spavined.This alluded to the name sometimes given in the Northwest to tho | member for Assiniboia,\u201cNicholas Blood Spavin.In speaking, or rising to speak twice, on 8 | bill relating to the Upper Ottawa Improvement boil

allowed to join with Spam in celebrating the four hundredth anniversary of the discovery of America.The decree of the Queen Regont Christine orders that in commemoration of that event and in honor of Christopher Columbus an exhibition is to be held in the year 1892, to which shall be invited \u201cthe Kingdom of Portugal! and the governments of the nations of Latin America.\u201d The decree also states that the ohject of the exhibition will be to present in the most complete manner possible the condition of the inhabitants of America at the time of the discovery, and, by a separate display at the same time, \u201cthe present culture of the nations of Latin America.\u201d This shuts out both ourselves and our nearest neighbors, aud seems to convey the ides that we Anglo- Saxon inhabitants of this continent have no interest in Christopher Columbus, The North German Gazette publishes the Pope's autograph letter to Emperor Frederick.The Pope expresses deep sorrow at the death of Emperor William, from whom he says he received not a few by no means unimportant proofa of friendly sentimeuts, and from whom e was hoping to receive no less important proofs in the future.He congratulates Emperor Frederick on his accession to the throne of so great and powerful an Empire, and trusts that ke will receive from him the same marks of friendship as he did from the late Emperor.In conclusion the Popo says: \u201cMay your Majesty's health be restored, and may you enjoy a long life for the welfnre of your faithful subjects.We pray God to grant this, aud we hope that Ho in His guud- ness

was so considered last | session by the Railway Committee ; and that, besides, it would be an act of injustice to the Montreal and Champlain Junction Company, who have already expended a considerable sum of money in their undertaking.It will be remembered that there was a big fight over the South-Western bill last year, and it was eventually thrown out by the Railway Committee.The same fight is looming up this year, the two big corporations being interested in the contest, and Mr Wainwright, assistant manager of the Graud Trunk, is here and it is understood he is again marshalling his forces

et.al.(defendants below), appellants, and Perras et, al.(plaintiffs below), respondents, Mc Pagneulo, Q.C., appeared for the appellants, and Mr Robidoux, Q.C., for the respon- ents, _ This was a case which arose under rather peculiar circumstances.One Demers, a church-war- den, had been sued by one Primean, the ground of the action being that Demers, while taking up the collection in the church, had passed by Pri- eau without presenting the contribution box to im.Demers was condemned to pay a small tam of damages, and the damages and costs amounted in all to $260, As Demers had acted with tbe sanction of the cire and two other church-wardens, it was considered a hardship that | be should have to pay this sum out of his own pocket.A resolution was, therefore, passed by tho church-wardens of the parish of St Isidore that the Fabrique should assume the debt.Tbe Tocolution wan not carried with unanimity, 7 voting for, and five against the resolution.One; of tbe dissontients then instituted the present, action to have the resolution annulled as illegal, and ultra vires.The action was maintained by thecourt below,and the preseut appeal is from that Judgment, | lt was contended on the part of the appellants that the money having been paid to Demers by tudean, bis sucoessor as church-warden en charge, t was too late to attack the resolution.In any ovent Trudeau abould bave besn brought

Mascouche yesterday, by the ex-Premier of Quebec, Hon L.O.Taillon.Mr M.Bourgoin, advocate, and a native of the county of L'Assomption, was one of the nationalist orators, and, although an old-time conservative, denounced Sir John Macdonald and his party in unmeasured terms, declaring most positively that he withdrew his support from the ministry because of the execution of Riel.Very fortunately for the public, but unfortunately for the reputation of Bour- goin, Mr Taillon was present and at once took the recalcitrant in hand.Amidst protests from Mr Bourgoin the ex-Premier took a letter from his pocket, dated January, 1887, seventeen months after the \u201ctaking off\u201d of Louis David Riel, in which Bourgoin beseeches Mr Taillon, who was then in power in Quebec, to use his influence as a provincial minister with the government at Ottawa to name no other than Bourgoin, the soi-doisant patriot, to the Canadian Senate in the place of his father-in-law, Hon Mr Cormier.The latter, the writer assured Mr Taillon, would willingly resign in favor of his Montreal son-in-law.The man of war also remarked in the same letter: \u201cDo you not think my nomination would be a good thing for the government and for the party ©\" Aud now every one knows why Nazaire Bourgoin ceased to be a supporter of Sir John Macdonald and Mr Chapleau-\u2014not because Riel was hung, but because the precious patriot was not allowed to ensconce himself upon the red benches of the Senate chamber.Thus one by one these men are unmasked and their real worth given to the country.For some years past this same man, Mr Bourgoin, has exercised considerable influence in his native county of L'Assomption, and last eleotion aided materially in the defeat of Mr Cocher.Montreal, March 28.\u2014The mystery of the dis- pesrance of Lawrence C.Rose bas at last been fared up by the finding of bis body in the Lu- chine canal this morning.Jt is so swollen that examination to find out whetber there was fou! | play is impossible.He was only 24 years of age, In debate at Ottawa tho other day, Mr McMullen laid stress on the fact that corn converted into whiskey and exported became entitled to a rebate, while corn when converted into beef and exported got no rebate.The prothonotary of Montreal states that, from the registors deposited with him by the clergy, it! would appear that last year there were in the city | 7016 births among Catholics, and 1281 among Pro- tentants, There were 1479 Catholic marriages and 500 Protestant marriages.There were G020 deaths among Catholics, and 884 among Protestants.The French newspapers of Quebec allege that St Roob's church has two precious relics, one a iece of the Real Cross, tho other a fragment of the Crown of Thorns, The papers state that their | authenticity is indisputable since thoy were given to Grand Vicar Mailloux in 1825, when he was cord of St Roch\u2019, They sre said to bave been recently discovered by cur§ Belanger, where placed by Grand Vicar Mailloux, through the removal of an altar to another chapel.It is claimed that the document which proves their authenticity is well reserved, and that Cardinal Tascherenu ia to con- rm the same, The relics were venerated by the a \u20ac one of the car-wheels and been wound round and round until the pole was drawn snugly up beneath the car, thus stopping the progress of the train.Au aged Kentucky colored man, who had | never seen a railway train, was induced by his son to take a ride in one the other day.The sensation brought on a nervous shock from which the old man died.The high-tariff principle has evidently run wild in Ohio, in the legislature of which state a hill has been introduced prohibiting the importation of beef.Should the measure become law the Ohioans would have the pleasure of paying for this necessary whatever price the dealers cliose to charge them.Fortunately for them, there is no danger of any such result, as the supreme court of the United States would uickly declare such legislation ultra vires.| \u2018he attempt to pass a measure of this sort shows, however, the tendency of protectionist ideas.High-tariff advocates would, no doubt, ! if they could, draw a customs line around each state of the Union, and yet there is as much reason for their doing su as there is for the maintenance of the tariff barrier between the two greater divisions of this continent.Word has heen received of the almost utter\u2019 destruction of the town of Minnescah, King- man county, Kansas, on Saturday evening, at 7.30, by a tornado.It had been raining all, day, and as evening approached the storm was seen approaching from the southwest.It struck the town and destroyed everything in its path, leaving only 3 houses standing in the whole place.Two churches, 5 stores and 15 dwelling houses were torn to pieces and the flying timbers killed 3 persons and maimed 17 others, Plainfield, N.J., March 26,\u2014The Plainfield News to-night says a prominent momber of the National Brewers\u2019 Association says that a boycott has been declared against all barley from the Prohibition States of Iowa and Kansas.This bariey is offered on 'Change at 4 cents less per bushel than that of other States.But the brewers say thut they would not take it at one cent per bushel.They prefer to give a considerably higher price for Canadian barley.Buffalo, March 23.\u2014At the meeting of the New York State Women's Suffrage Convention yesterday, Mrs Bessie Starr Keefer, of Toronto, said that in the Province of Ontario every unmarried woman and widow, who has a property qualification of $350, can vote.But when a woman is foolish enough to marry she loses her vote and is classed with imbeciles and idiots.Ontario, she thought, waa the first place in the world to put a premium on old maids and widows.Mrs Keefer's speech filled the audience with laughter and applause.By his refusal to allow the green flag to be boisted on tbe New York City bail on St Patrick'a day, Mayor Hewitt bas given most convincing roof that he meant what be said whon he recent.y declared that he had no further political ambitions.\u201cTo decline to flv the \u2018Irish flag,\u2019 as it is

so his custom was; large.He bad three apprentices, young men whose years placed them at unequal distances rom manhood, which is popularly supposed to beginat the age of twenty- one.His shop was & corner room, and consequently looked out upon the world in two directions.It was rumored that wben Bargoff gazed out of the widow facing tbe soutb, a soft, warm smile crept over bis face.To the west window he turned his back when be was at work, Sometimes at sunset he would glance over bis shoulder at the long rays, or the varied hues.Then his features assumed a sudden wry expression that was suggestive of distaste, His apprentices, whose curiosity about him was stimulated by the questions that were constantly put to them by their acquaintances, seeking information regarding the shoemaker, noticed his fondness for the south window, and his peculiar dislike for the outlook toward the west.They spoke of these characteristics, and set the villagers a-guessing to account for them.Nobody in Kattin knew anything of Bargofl's life before his settlement in the bamlet, a straggling town at the foot of a deep ravine that cut into the side of the Alleghany Mountains.Reating a emall room on the day of his coming to Kattin, be bung out at the door a battered sign, *Bar- goff, Shoemaker,\u2019 The letters were yellow on a black ground, and did not stroggle to encompass the painted boot and shoe that usually adorn the signs of village shoemakers.\u2018He's a willain,\u2019 quoth Grandam Cole upon first beholding him, and in her opinion all others concurred.Heowaited many days fora customer and none entered his door.He was not patronized, not solely becuuse Grandam Cole had spoken against him, but because there was a shoemaker in Kattin, an old man it is true ; but he employed a \u2018jour,\u2019 and his boots and shoes, made from selected stock, were enduring.So the old man continued toshoe the feet of the Kattiners, while he sneered at Bar.goff, whom he finally began to pity, avd offered a bench in tho old shoe- sbop \u2018to do the cobblin'.\u2019 Bargoff, witb a smile, rofused to leave his own amall room in which the lasts seemed arranged for exbibition on the shelves.Only bis landlord called upon bim, and that but once a month, on rent day, when he invariably left a receipted bill bobind him, When a period of persistent waiting had gone, à duy fell that brought Bar- goff a customer.He was gazing ont of the window at the other shoeshop where business seemed brisk, when rome one opened the door of bis little room and came in.Hoe turned round and saw just inside the door a girl with her thumb in ber mouth, She seemed about ten years old.ler dress was torn, and ber faceand bands were dirty, but ber voice was sweet as she timidly addressed him.\u2018My pap wants ter know ef yer'd make me a pair uv shoes an\u2019 and wait a montb fer yer pay.\u2019 She took her thumb out of her mouth, and wiped it on ber dress as she spoke.\u2018Of course I will, Sunny,\u2019 he replied checrily, as he reached for his mens- uring stick, .\u2018My name's Mary, but pap calls mo Pert when he ain't mad at me,\u2019 she informed Bargoff.\u2018I called you Sunny, because you are sunshine 10 me, Bargoff said, as be blew the dust off the stick, and sat down on the bench.\u2018Put up your foot.\u2019 She rested a plump bare foot on his knee.When be caoght it in his hand be shivered, it was so cold.So he chafed and fondled it until it was warm, and measured the other foot for no other reason than to warm it, for his practiced oye told him at a glance that the feet wero mates.The warmth crept up her limbs, bare to the knees, reached her heart, and set her tongue going.\u2018Pap couldn't pay old Carnes, and be wouldn't make no more shoes for 8.And Bargoff laugbed, for old Carnes was the other shoemaker.gofl laughed merrily.\u2018Ab, Sunny,\u2019 be said, \u2018you aro not sharp !\u2019 And Sunny laughed, 106, as she ran away with a bound.In & moment she was back.\u2018Say, Mister Bargoff, could you make them shoes as soft an\u2019 warm as yer bands I She did not wait for a reply.The fact is, he was so taken aback he could not frame one.Compliments thus affect even villains at times.How.Qoaree ent made for cvorpday wen $3.28 ever, be felt his hands, and was sar.Best French Oalf (made plain), rised to find bow soft they bad Best French Calf fine dress boot.me in their long-en idle Best French Calf fine sewed boot.80} pn, 8 French Calf sewed shoes, Balmorals, &c.FIOM .000 005000 coco srcccu 000000 BB A good stock of English and Canadian fitted low shoes, Balmoral and Gaiter uppers, in French Calf, Oil Goat and Cordovan, Good Kid Brogans and Shoes, .$2.00 French Calf and best French Ki shoes and Balmorals from.rm 0 $3.16 \u2018Women\u2019s Bootees in French Calf Kip and imitation Oil Goat.\u2026.\u2026.2.00 Women's low thoes, French Calf Kip wad Imitation Off Goat.cesnse 150 \u2018omen's Slippers in sll sises.0 0.0.1.00 Men's Mlippers in all sizes.136 Children's bootere (all sine) from 91.35 te 1.76 REPAIRS.Men's honte soled 400, soled and heoled 606 \u2018Women's boots soled 30 to 360, soled sad ess.That night he worked late.He was esger to have the shoes done de- fôre Sanny could come again.There was an excitement in bim.It bad been caused by his once more engsg- ing in bis bandicraft, and it buoyed him.The zest of employment was novel to bim.The san pointed a long finger at bim as he bent over the last the pest morning.was stitching the shoes tbat were to be ss soft and warm as bis own bande, Sanny was not long bebind the shoemaker in getting to Work.She made the fire, and pat the kettle on ne k, did boy on her.be whi a'a°t t tt she wbis- se she ran bok = the kitchen, ber hair, and Wvat to He received hor with He bad risen early, and;

I should say he was!\u2019 And while Sunny chewed her thumb, she wondered if Bargoff bad been profane.She was inclined to.say, \u2018Oh! you sweared, but ber thumb was fust between her jaws.At last the shues wore done and Sunny wae ready to try them on, She held up her plump foot, which was clean on top anyway.\u2018I couldn\u2019 fly,\u2019 she said, apologizing for the dusty sole.Bargofl laughed and asked for her stockings.She giggled, \u2018Tain\u2019t cold enuf ter stockin's yit.' We only wears stockin\u2019s when the snow flies.\u2019 \u2018But the shoes, 1 made them a little large and they won't fit without stockings.\u2019 \u2018Well, 1\u2019a\u2019nt hed no stockin\u2019s since last winter.\u2019 \u20181 can't knit stockings,\u201d mused Bar- goff, but I can buy them.\u2019 And off he went to the store without a word, leaving Sanny in the shop.He bought a pair of striped stockings.\u2018Just to try the shoes on,you know, be said on bis return.Sunny wiped the soles of her feet on the clean side of bis little new apron, and slipped on the stockings.Then the shoes were laced up, and she walked over the sheet of role leather in thom.She pronounced thom a fit, and proceeded to take them off.\u2018Wby not wear them?\u2019 Bargoff asked, She did not reply until her feet were bare.Thenshe banded bim the stockings.\u20181 bave tried them on ; l'm much \u2018bliged.\u2019 \u2018But the shoes won't fit withoot thom.\u2019 \u2018They'll fit better'n bare feet ; besides, 1 didn't order no stockin\u2019s.\u2019 Then, with thanke for the shoes until he was \u2018better paid,\u2019 ebe went away,leaving Bargoff staring stupidly at the stockings.Old Carnes, the shoemaker whom the Kattiners bad patronized for two gonerations, laughed when he heard that Bargofl's customer was Peter Bard's daughter.\u2018Ill bo many a day, 'fore Peto pays fer what she gits,\u2019 he remarked, \u2018He owes me a bill a mile long.\u2019 But Sunny showed her shoes to a Peter placed the notes in bis pocket and said : poe \u2018Jost ex yor please.\u2019 \u2018Well,\u2019 remarked Bargoff, \u20181 prefer old bank-notes, I said ; but may I ask if you bave been paying dobts with those new ones?\u2019 Peter was frightened.\u2018Hush !' be said, «I'll pay yer in money thet's passed through more'n One pair uv ban's.\u2019 Bargoff accepted the bille and coins that Peter tendered him and gave a receipt for the amount of the acoount so long open.Then he bade Poter good evening.Peter went away with the singular sensation of having settled an account once, He continued to treat himself until the tavern closed ut midnight, and then he went home very drunk.When be awoke next morning, he was sober and romained so for two wooks, \u2018There's a miracle in Katlin,\u2019 aaid one woman to another.\u2018Mrs Bard's got à now dress.\u2019 \u2018Yes, and her daughter Mary u shaw! with her new gown, Pete Bard must huve opened his heart.\u2019 But over these new garments Peter, while willing to accept the credit of having given them to bis wife and daughter, puzzled as much as any inquisitive neighbor.Then happened the store-robbery.The Kattiners were thunderstruck.Occasionally chickens were stolen by some prowler.It was generally known who committed the theft, and the crime was forgiven charitably.There was a negro in the place, and to him the disappearance of the fowls was attributed.One villager con- doncd the theft with the remark: \u2018Guess old Jub'stired of flitch agin.\u2019 But the store-robbery, that Job could never have accomplished.Be.sider, he was not missing, but on hand and eager to discover the robbers, In fact, nobody was missing, Bargoff was in his shop twirling a wax-end under the palm of his hand on his knee, when tho news was brought to him by one of his apprentices, He exhibited no surprise, and asked how the thieves got into the store.\u2018Bored auger boles \u2018round the lock and then knocked it in.\u2019 \u2018They were clever,\u2019 said Bargoff, as he began stitching a sole, The apprentices !scled at one another, Greatly excited themselves, they could not understand bis calmness.They wondered if there wus a fire if he would cry \u2018Put it out,\u2019 for he never asked questions, nor went ito the store to see the hole in the door.He seemed to have no curiosity, and suspicion fastened upon him, He's à jail bird, yer kin depend on\u2019t,' said Peter about Bargoff to the proprietor of the store, to whom he wan in debt.neighbor.They fitted well, were cheaper than the price charged by \u2018My! exclaimed the neighbor to ber busband, \u2018tbat there Bargoff must be a good shoemaker.\u2019 Then she told him about Sunny's shoe.s He took his daughter by the band and lod ber to Bargoff's shop, where he ordered a pair of shoes like Sunny\u2019s.Thus the customers came, one after another, until old Carnes bad little to do, except cobbling, and was compelled to discharge his \u2018jour.\u2019 When Bargoff sought a larger sho he selected the corner room in which we found him.The south window | looked out on Peter Bard's back | porch.There Sunny was often visible, and Bargoff smiled when ho saw ber.She was a child yet, but was nesring the age and stature of woman- bood su rapidly that he declared he! could notice a change between days.\u2018Sir,\u2019 eaid an apprentice, \u20181 hop you'll forgive a bold question, but why do you look sour-like when you ses the sun go down ?' | \u2018The setting sun reminds me of i death, and 1 like life, that is why I: torn my back to the west.When I: forget myself and look that way, I | make a face.\u2019 \u2018And ghy, sir, do you smile soft when you look out of the south window 7\u2019 \u2018Bargofl looked at Sunny on the back porch andsmiled as he answored : \u2018That is my secret.\u2019 When the apprentice reported these repliesto the gossips,who bad prompted the questions, they were no wiser than before.That evening Bargoff looked over the pages of a ledger.Init was a long unbalanced account against Peter Bard.For eight years there had been entries in that acount and on the debtor side only.Bargoff smiled as be shut tbe book.The total was & round sum, for Peter Bard\u2019s family bad been bard on shoes even of Bargoff workmanship.I will collect that bill,\u2019 the shoemaker anid, as he Inid the book down.The next Saturday night he said to Peter Bard, who stood by the open door ot the shoemaker\u2019s shop : \u2018Pay me the bill that you owe me,\u2019 \u2018Do yer want blood out uv a turnip?\u2019 hiccougbed Peter, wWbo was drunk.\u2018Only what is mine I ask and will bave.\u2019 It was after night fall, and there was no light in the sbop.With a.quick movement Bargoff pushed Peter into tbe dark room, then slammed the door, aud shot them both in.Peter stumbled over a beach and fell on his face among a lot of old shoes that were waiting the cobbler\u2019's hands, \u2018The shutters ars clowed, so de may as well bave a light,\u2019 Bargoff remark- od as be struck a matoh and looked for a candle.By this time Peter had regained bie feet.He otruck at , but only extinguished the matoh., Then there was & sharp etruægle in Witch Peter was worsted; and when he iay , pubtiog on

robbery.*Wauen\u2019t there no tracks?asked \u2018 Peter, anxious to curry favor with his creditor, \u2018Tracks?\u2019 asked the store-keeper.\u2018There's bin a wagin, yer kin bet on\u2019t.Too much was Look to be lugged off by one man er two, and I guess twasn't more\u2019n two thet dun it.\u2019 \u2018Mebbe you're right, Pete.\u2019 The villagers sought for wagon tracks, and finally discovered tbat a | wagon had beon drawn on and off n vacant lot near the store, during the night before, and without the use of horsee.This track was followed until it became confused with others in the road.The day went by.The thieves wero not captured, but Kattin bad another sensution.Sometimes Bargoff went to the tavern and took a drink.Ho always i called for whisky, which he swallowed eagerly.It was not often be indulged in an intoxicant.When he did, his intention was bomeopathic.Already under an excitement, he drank the | stimulant to negative the sensation.If the intoxicant brought mental excitement, the other disturbing cause was allayed; at least it sank into comparative insignificance.So the night following the store-robbory Bar- goff walked into the barroom and bought a glass of whisky, which he drank at once, He remained at the bar a few moments and ordered a second glass of whisky.His mental perturbation bad been caused by a succinct warning from Sunny.\u2018Look out fer my pap.\u2019 She had ejaculated tho sentence into the darkness of the shop where Bargoff sat musing.She ran away fleetly, and ho could not see her when be reached the door.Her caution caused a great excitement to arise within bim, and to allay it he wont to the tavern, As he was lifting the second glass of whiskey to his lips, an exclamation bohind him interrupted him.He used and turned around.Peter ard was just inside the door pointing a pistol at him, \u2018I'm goin\u2019 tor kill yer, shoemaker.\u2019 \u2018Wait till [ drink this whisky.Meantime, tell me why I am ven- Bargoff held

made a step forward, There was a threat in (bis action and bis tones were peremptory, \u2018Eighty dollars.This statement astounded thecrowd.It seemed a large sum, too big for simple generosity, and on the face of things Bagoff appeared very guilty.\u201cThe truth, the exact truth,\u2019 commanded the shoemaker.\u2018You know it was more,\u2019 \u2018Eighty-nine dollars\u2014and, men-\u2014' \u2018Wait!\u2019 the cents.\u2019 \u2018And soventy-five cents, leave it ter you, men\u2014' \u2018Silence!\u2019 Everybody was startled at the harshness of Bargoff\u2019s voice, Peter slunk into himself, Bargoff was at his full height.All were surprised that a shoemaker could be #o tall.The usual posture of the Crispin suggests that he is à emall man, and Bargoff always carried the stoop with him.It was part of the make-up of the character of villain by common convent allotted to him.\u2018You see, gentlemen, the truth is this.\" Bargofl\u2019s voice had softened to its natural sweetness.\u2018l did give Mre Bard $89.75, but 1 first collected it from her husband, Peter Bard.\u2019 À sensation ensued, and there was the beginning of a demonstration in Bargoff's fuvor, but he

daughter needed it while I did not.[ wus moved to do this by gratitude, because bis daughter was my first customer.She led to the coming of others and my trade was established, What suy all\u2014shall

and went out.When he awoke next morning, he was no longer the villain Bargoff to the Kattiners,but Burgoff the goodbearted, As for Peter, be shuffled out of the barroom, and, going home, revenged himself for his discomfiture by striking his wile, The next day the wagon.maker announced that a new wagon had been stolen from him, He had only then missed it, but it was probably used to carry off the goods plundered from the store.The mystery of the store- robbery deepened when, a week after the crime wus committed, the wagon was returned to the shed from which it had been taken, A careful examination of the ground showed that no horses had been used to draw the vehicle to its place.It was heavy, moro than one man could pull on the level.Hence it was concluded that two persons, at least, wore concerned in the store-robbery.The day after tho return of the wagon the village of Kattin was thrown into a ferment by the announcement of the postmaster that some bank-notes that be had sent to Washington in his remittances had been declared counterfeit by the exporte of the Treasury Department.he word \u2018counterfeit\u2019 was comparatively new to the villagers; when, however, its full significance was ox- plained, there was a rush for boxes and bureau drawers where banknotes were laid by for a rainy day, It looked like a run on the post- office, the long line of anxious men and women waiting their turn to ask the postmaster it there were any counterfeits among their savings, The postmaster, with a dignified manner becoming to bis newly ac- uired importance, slowly examined the bank-notes, and, according to his decision, the inquirer wont away bappy or dejected.When the day was ended, it was known that con- sidorable counterfeit money was circulating in the village and an outcry arose, There was lamentation in almost every household, Even Peter Bard displayed a small amount of the bad money and bemoaned his luck.Bargoff was calm.He said, in an.awer to questions, that he had received none of the counterfeit money.His serenity aroused suspicion.Howcame it that he escaped ?Peter Bard in-, sinuated the quostion to the storekeeper and he asked it musingly.The shoemaker was certainly regarding the excitement in the village with indifference or satisfaction.Either mood would argue that he was con corned in one or both of the crimes that had caused so much disturbance.Thus tho storekeeper reasoned, and Now, 1 Peter Bard helped him by disjointed remarks, until at last he resolved to make an affidavit that, to the best of his knowledge and belief, the shne.maker, who was only known as Barg.off, was sufliciently mysterinas in bis sad harmed |W 10 piace Te under susploiot of fr a search-warrant to enable the officers of the law 10 seek on the premises of the shoomsker for evidences of crime, such as the ion of stolen goods or counterfeit money.The justice of the peace hemmed snd bawed and thambed the digest of laws, and at last granted the warrant, be bimeolt being anxious to be informed about Bargoff.The constable, armed with the warrant, and scoompuniod by the storekeeper, proceeded to Bargoffs sho and stated his business.Bargo puled, but bade the officer go ahead, and offered to help in the search.His politeness embarrassed tors, and they looked about in & perfunctory manner.\u2018They opered some drawers and shut them, while the apprentices, forgetful of each other, watched with interest for develop ments, tracted the attention of the storekeeper, and he suggested that it be opened, The constable tried the door.It was fastened by an ordinury padlock in a staple, holding fast a bund of iron, which was beld to the door by nails clinchod on the inside.Bar goff handed the officer the key, and the door wus soon open, lmmedi- ately the storekeeper exclaimed ox- citedly, and Bargoff looked aghast, In the closet was a collection of things that had been taken froin the store, Bargoff did not move; apparently he waited to sce more.The constable opened a drawer that was snugly fitted into a corner, and found a roll of bank-notes that were duplicates of those pronounced counterfeit.I'll hev ter 'rest yer, remarked the constable, as he laid his hand on Bargof.When, the storokecper saw the spasm that contracted Bargoft\u2019s features when the constable spoke, he was almost moved with compassion.The apprentices did pot lift their eyes to Barguffs fuce, a8, walking erect, he went with tho constable.They locked the shop and followed their master to the hearing.The news quickly spread.Tho Kat- tiners denounced Bargoff, disbelieved his version of bis money transaction with Mrs Bard, and sympathized with Peter Burd, whom they regarded asa much abused man.The shoemaker was again the villain Bargoff, The little office of the justice of the peace was soon crowded, and an eager throng pressed against the door and one window, hoping to hear at least some of the testimony.The crime was duly proved by the storekeeper, who was his own lawyer, and then, without delay, Bargoff wus directly connected with it by the fact that, concealed in a closet on the premises occupied by him, were goods that had boen in the store previous to the burglary.The law presumed bim guilty, and it lay upon him to prove his innoconce.Peter Bard, who, with something of the air of a victor, oceu- pied a stool, which was merely a chair bereit of its back, acquiesced in this statement of the case by the justice.Peter did not remove hia feet from the rungs of tbe one-time chair as he partially rose to take a survey of the crowd.It was an evident request for the sympathy of the spectators, and they, being generous, smiled and winked ut him.Tle sat down again with bis knees high, bis feet atill being on the rungs.His position suggested the posture of a man in a saddle with short stirrups.His com- laconcy was somewhat rufiled, when, y mere accident, his gaze met Bar.goff's.Peter tried to look defiant, but he found bis lips weak, and his eyes inclined towaver, Soho turned around suddenly, as if some one had spoken to him.\u2018Have you anything to say ?' asked the justice of Bargoff.The magistrate, whose curiosity had weighed #80 much with him in deciding bim to issue tho search-warrant, was now half sorry he bad granted it, there being every probability that Bargoff would be sent to jail and Kat- tin would be without a shoemaker, old Carnes having died a few months previous to Lhe store-robbery.The squire was personally sorry, there being thon a pair of shoes in Bargoff\u2019s shop that wero just turned over the last, aud intended for him.The officer of the court selfishly wished that bis shoes bad been finished before tho stolen goods were discovered, \u2018Havo yoo anything to say, Mr Bar- goff' he asked again, moro sharply thun bofore, his own grievance accenting the papority of his tones.\u2018Nothing,\u2019 Bargoff answored in a voice singularly sweet, as he looked over the heads of the men near him at the blue eky, dimly visible through tho dusty panes, A buzz ran through the crowd.Peter Bard again stood upon the rounds of the chair, this time erect, and nodded Lo the apoctators as much as to eay, \u2018Do you hear that?\u2018Nothing ?' asked the justice, greatly amuzed, \u2018Nothing?inquired the storekeeper, who bad boped to learn the whereabouts of the remainder of tbe stolon goodn, \u2018Nothing,\u2019 Bargoff again stated, this time moro sternly, *You will bave to give bail, or I'll bave Lo send you to jail\u2014\" The justice was interrapted by \u2018Please, Squire Simons,\u2019 Peter Bard wtarted and turned to the window.Hin daughter Mary was there, her head just visible above the ledge.She bad spoken.\u2018You go home, Mary, ter yer mother I' Peter commanded, and Toft the rungs of his chair to insist upon obedience, \u2018Please, Squire Simons, I want ter kiss tie book,\u2019 Sunny continued, unmindful of her father, ¢ G'wan home, I

Bargoff, As it seemed an effort for \u201cher to speak, she was allowed her \u2018own time.No one pressed her wilh i questions.Finally she blurted : «My pap done it all, broke inter the store, put the tbinge inter Mister Bargofl\u2019s closet, an\u2019 spread all the bad money in this here town.\u2019 |! \u2018Then she began to cry.Little moans broke from ber lips, and it was foured that she would become hysteri- ! cal.| Peter Bard shouted, \u2018Yer lie, yer little devil I' and rushed to strike ber.Agnin tho store keeper interfered, | this time assisted by the constable.\"The officer virtually arrested Peter, \u2018around whom the crowd closed angri- | 1y, and be shrunk before their menace.| Meantime the magistrate offured !Sunny a chair beside bim, but she said : +f kin talk better

over the hill broke inter the store, an\u2019 took the wagin ter pull the things off in, They hid \u2018em in a house, an\u2019 put the wagin inter the shed agin.Then pap broke inter Mister Burgoffs closet by pullin\u2019 the steeple, an' put a few goods an\u2019 bad money in\u2019t.He never let me un\u2019 mam hev any bad money, \u2018cause if we'd a spent it thut'd ketch bim, | know be done ali this, \u2018cause I seen him ; I watched him.\u2019 .She told the story simply with gathering courage.Then a complete change of feeling towards Bargoff came in the listeners\u2019 hearts, \u2018Did you know this, Me Bargoff ?asked the magistrate, with emphasis on the Mr, \u2018Yes.I suspected that was the way the goods got into my closet.\u2019 \u201cThen why didn't you say so?\u2019 Bargoff did not answer, Sunny twitched her fingers aud flushed up to the temples.Determined to clear Bargoff fully of the crimes imputed to him, she spoko again, \u2018\u2019Cause Mr Bargoff asked me ter' marry him, an\u2019 1 wouldn't \u2018cause [ was ashamed of my pap, and Mr Burgoff wouldn't tell on pap now fer fear he'd muke me shameder.\u2019 The rough assemblage was movel with deep sympathy for the girl.The magistrate got nervous, and fumbled with his papers.All present knew that her sense of justice had wrung the facts from her, fearing sho might think he bulieved her impelled by love for him.Ile did not raise his eyes from the floor when she asked : \u2018May I go now, Squire?\u2019 \u2018Mary,\u2019 the magistrate said gently, \u2018you will bave to tell this all over again to the court \u2018Ob, Judge, must 1 ?' she inquired quickly, with something of anguish in her tones.\u2018It\u2019s hard ter call onv\u2019s pap names before people; but it can't be helped, [ll be there, Squire.\u2019 \u2018One question more, Mary: who was your father\u2019s accomplice ?\u2018Hey !\u2019 | \u201cWho belped him to rob the store ?* \u2019 \u201cDatob Henry.\u2018You may go now, Mary.\u2019 She fled from the office without looking at Bargoff.\u2018I told on pap,\u2019 she said to ber mother on reaching home.Then followed a quarrel, in which Mrs Bard used many very bard words, Sunny retorting in kind.Finally Mrs Bard ordered her daughter to leave her house forever, Sunny resolutely declared she would do nothing of the kind.So they continued ander the same roof, and frequently indulged in wordy fights.Search was made in Dutch Henry's house, and the remainder of the stolen goods was found there.He was arrested and sent to jail with Poter Bard.Sunny bravely repeated to thecourt the story she had told to the justice, and tbe sharp cross-ex- amination of the prisoners\u2019 lawyer could not shake her testimony, Peter and bis accomplice were convicted, and sentenced to a long term of imprisonment, Bargoff removed from Kattin a short time after the trial, and in a little wbile Sunny, her mother, and brothers followed bim, \u2018Sunny,\u2019 Bargoff said one evening before he wont away, \u2018I am not ashamed of you.Be my wife.We will go West, where nobody knows us, and we shall live bappily.Your mother and brothers may come, too, and wo can all live together.\u2019 \u2018Bat my pap,\u2019 said Sunny.\u2018I sent him ter jail, and I've got ter work fer bim, so\u2019s when bo gits out he'll bev somethin\u2019.\u2019 \u2018I'll take caro of you all,

Axprew PHiLPS, general agent, would draw the attention of inaurers to the fact, that the cost of insuring on the Mutud plag has been considerably less since the Company was formed (87 years ago) than the premium charged by any stock company, snd that during the past 3 years policy-hoiders of three thousand dollars bave paid tweoty dollars on the Mutual plan, while the charge by a stock Company has been thirty dollar, making a difference of ten dollars, equivalent to fifty per cent.in favor of the Matoel, Parties wishing to insure their property are requested to apply to the Agent.Anpraw

in the above company : 1.Because it , deposits with the Canadian government $100 \"ot approved securities for «very $100 of lite bilities as calculated by government.2.Be cause it employa 5 inspectors for the inspec: tion and adjustment of losses, which enables it to adjust and pay all losses within froms week to a fortnight of the date of the fire \u2014 the usual 6 days\u2019 clause being waived.3.Because it issues a Blanket Policy covering the contents of Barns aud Stables in s block, that is to say, providing a farmer insures io another company, one that names the amount on each article on the Specific Plan, say $200 on produce, $200 on implements, $400 on stock, as the case may be, and a loss should take place when that farmer fills his bsrn the amount of $1000 on implements and pro duce, and if he succeeds in saving the imple ments, all he could claim would be the $200 on the produce, no matter if he loses $1000 oo produce, Now, on the Block Plan, as tbe Glasgow and London Insurance Company fssnee their policies against loss or damage by fire or lightning, no matter what the build ing contains at the time of the loss, so long as it consists of farm produce generally.vis.: Nveetock and farmiog implements, includiog cartilages aud barness, rleighs and robes Now the advantage the Glasgow and London claims, to the benefit of the farmers, ove other companies is, that the $800 is placed ia one amount on the whole of the contents the barn, and If the stock should be in tbe pasture at the time of the loss, as stated in the Specific Plan, and the farmer loses tot amount ot $800 on produce, ot implements, carriages, harness, sleighs,or robes the amount of $800 nat be paid in full on the Block ples This clearly shown the farmers it is to thelt advantage to insure in the Glasgow and Lou don Insurance Company, which has Joux $400,000 of risks on farm property in the counties of Huntingdon and Chateaugusy within the last 9 months through the Hur tingdon agency.The rates belng as low sd any other responsible company and the , vantages shown, the public in goneral should previous to their policies expiring, write the agent giving date of expiry, sd th notice will recelve prompt attention.Thack ing the public for past favors hoping to b a continuance of the snme, i Bpecial~=Live Stock killed by lightollf anywhere on the farm, are included fo \u2019
