R., is paying a visit to his sister, Mrs. Edward Thompson. Mr. McCann says (here are only about eighteen inches of snow up in his country. There is one comfort at least, if we pin our faith to old saws : Tuesday was Can- dlemas day and brujn got a severe shock when he came out to see his shadow. He looked for it in vain and hurried back to his fair, consequently we will, have an e:M-l}^ Rpring. The Advance was favored on Saturday with a call from Pi incipal BUkestnn of Dundalk public sch^'ol. It does a dyspep- tic good to look at W. J. oiicu in a while.

Wilson, Flesherton. Thd ice h'lrvest is now on and the â- ample is iragnilicent ; solid, clear ice 22 inches thick, the best known fos many years, but it could not be otherwise. Mr. J. iShora of Alberta, and Miss Shore of Pal^rave after visiting with their niece and cousin, Mrs. George Mitchell, returned to their homes on Wednesday of last week. Had Whit tier lived in this country duriii>r the present winter he would never have written that theoretically beautiful poem, "Snow Bound;" and Thompson would have dropped the winter portion of his "Seasons." This winter would have knocked the poetry clean out of both of them. Judging by our local exchanges this is not such an abnoririully severe winter after all. Nearly everv section of country appears to have one or more old men who remember something iust like it, and each individual places it at dif- erent periods in the remote past ; so of course corre.sponding winters muit have been numerous half a century ago ! A gentleman in this township who un- derstands bear nature recently discovered what lie felt sure was a bear's den. The sign was a small column ot vapor rising throuijh a small hole in the snow. This in the West is considered an infallible sign of bears below. On this occasion the gentleman prepared himself for a slaughter, but after digging a little in the deep snow discovered that the vapor was caused by a spring, the wafer of which was warmer than the temperature above. It is, of course, unnecessary to state that the only bear he found was bare ground. The anual meeting of Oaprey Farmers' Milling Company, held on the 19th of January, was quite harmonious and sat- isfactory. The old board of directors and auditors were reappointed. No dividend was declared this year but this should not be a cause of complaint as there are a couple of thousand outstanding and share- holders have reaped well ia the past, having got back all of their original iu- vestment, less live dollars. Tlie Oaprey Fanner's mill is a paying concern. It has been conducted by cautions and com- petent officials, of which the highly satisfactory showing gives ample proof. A distressingly sad event occurred at the home ot Mr. Arthur Johnson, Mca- ford Road,on Monday of this week, when his second daughter. Miss Amelia Johnson, committed stncide by taking paris greeu. As soon as it was discover- ed that she had taken the poison Dr. Carter was hastily summoned and arrived about an hour before she expired, but the poison had run too long a course and it was impossible to save the youug woman's life. The deceased young woman was highly esteemed and her de»:h has cast a deep gloom over the community. On Sunday she play ei- the organ at the Methodist service and ap- peared to be in her usual health and spirits. No reasim can be assigned for the rash act. Very much sympathy is expressed for the parents and family, who are among the most respectid residents of this district. The fuu:-cal took place to the Meaford Road cemetery on Wednesday. Stewartâ€" Cole A quiet wedding was consumsiated at the residence of Mr. G. Cole, brother of the bride, Cauilachie, by the Rev. John M. Gunne, English church clergyman of Wyoming, on Tuesday, Jan. 27, whettr Mr. Chas. Stewart and Miss Ida CuW of flesherton, were pronounced man and wife. The bride was attired in travelling costume and there were no attendants. After the ceremony th« happy couple took the train for Toronto. They arrived home ou Thursday, where friends and relatives gave them a hearty reception. The biido is a very estimable young per son, very highly esteemed, , and her many friends wish for her and her husband many years of happy wailded life. The Advance tenders its mead of Congratulation. WHITK-J0HN90N A quiet wedding was solemnized at the residence of Mr. George Johnson, of the gravel road, south, on Wednesday of last week, when bis eldest daughter, Harriet EUmbeth, was united in nmrriaKe to Mr. George Wesley White, also of .Vnemesia The ceremony was performed by Rev. Iviso'i Wilson, B. A., B. D. The bride-smaid was Miss Annie, sister ot the bride, ajd the griH>ia was «s»isced bv Mr. Thomas White, his br nher.

It would iioc be a bad idea if a few men around this town would follow the e:umple of the moon. Dr. C. E. Mitchell, V S, was called to the farm of TWford Bros, in Bi'Hce, between AUenford and Tara, to investig- ate a mysterious disease that had resulted in the death of four fine fat cattle owned by the firnu He diairnosed the trouble as a malignant catarrh, hut to be certain wired the dominion veterinary, Dr. Wil- liam Siubbs, who came up on Tuesday night. By that time three other cattle had been added to the dead. The Do- minion veterinary oame to the same con- clusion as his local eolleaguo, and attrib- uted the disease to ill ventilated and unhealthy stables. Some of the symptoms correspond with foot and mouth disease, and while malienant catarrh is caused by a microbe, it is not con ttfgeous but in- fectious from contact. The veterinaries fear that the entire herd will be wiped out. Naturally th»>y are watching the casue vry closely. â€" Times. A Broad Statemeiat Tbia aunouDuemeut is marie without any qualifications.
