Mortality Low In Reforestation Forestry Branch of Ontario and those interested in Reforestation in this district, wiill be glad to learn that the mortality among this year's settings of forest trees has been unusually low. The indications so far as this locality is concerned, is that the las* will not exceed ten or fifteen per cent. Last year it will be recalled the mortality in some sections reached as high as 40 and even 50 par cent. Coniferous trees of the pines, spruce and cedar varieties, which are the kind by far the most largely planted, it seems have done exceedingly well, showing a splendid growth and low losses. In one plantation of conifers your correspondent observed that the loss did not appear to be greater than 2 or 3 per cent. Northumberland County w© understand leads the Provnce in Reforestation work and this locality has a number of very interested and enthusiastic workers in this method of property improvement. Lieut. C. S. Rutherford, V.C., is enthusiastic for Reforestation, so is Mr. William D. Haig and Messrs. W. J. Robson, Alfred Larry, and P. and J. Robson and several others. Mr. Haig has a splendid plantation of pine and spruce of some fourteen or fifteen years growth, which is an object lesson of improve- P.

A linen shower in honour of the lately wedded couple, Mr. and Mrs. Laurence McCarthy (nee Marjorie Harrington) was held on Wednesday Evening, Nov. 30th, at the home of the bride's sister, Mrs. Frank Chapman. About seventy guests were present, and they came from Georgetown, Peterboro, Brighton, Colborne, Sharon and Dundonald, and a large number of beautiful linen articles was presented the fair bride with the best wishes of all present for many years of happiness for Mr. and Mrs. McCarthy. On Monday evening, Dec. 2nd, a "Mystery Social" under the auspices of the Dundonald Busy Pals (the Young Woman's S. S. Class) was held in the Church Hall. Rev.

McRae lead In a few games, which were greatly enjoyed. Then a delicious lunch of salads, jelly, sandwiches, small cakes, tarts and coffee was served cafateria style. The "Mystery" proved to be the admission fee, which was not discovered till lunch time, when an apple for each person was split and the seeds counted. Each person had to pay 2c for every seed in his or her apple. The proceeds amounted to $8.50. In honour of the Busy Pals and their activities all joined in singing "For They are Jolly Good Fellows." Hearty applause followed. A circle was formed and all slang "Blest Be the Tie that Binds," and the Mizpah Benediction closed the meeting. Another View on Salaries Paid Mail Carriers A number of exchanges coming to our desk seem to be wasting a lot of sympathy on the lot of the rural mail carrier and his inadequate salary, but we have not found any of them explaining what has caused all the difficulty. The carriers may be poorly paid, no doubt they are, but there is no one to blame but themselves. Since the advent of rual mail delivery in Canada some twenty-four or twenty-five years ago, one would-be rural carrier after another has been underbidding for the contract to expire, and when successful had the job at less Pay than the man he displaced. The contracts are awarded after advertising for tenders and as long as carriers take them at the'r own figures it is hardly likely the government will insist they accept more. iChesterville Record.
