(Correspondence of the Gazette.) Any young man who is spending 31 or $15 a year on tobacco and cigars, and has no insurance on his life, is making a mistake. Try $500 insurance, which, togethcr‘with the sick benefit, in th l. O. F.. will not cost as much as many spend every year on the weed.

MADE GOOD Wattlesâ€"On Tuesday last Mr. Felix Nortlicy finished his con- tract of taking down the kiln, upon which be commenced work about three weeks ago. The price agreed upon was 3200, but, as he employed an average of four assistants and had to spend a good deal for chisels and sharpening them, he says he only made good wages. The brick lining of the kiln is still stand- ing, as its removal was not included in the contract. A Lossâ€"A milch cow owned by Mr. John Quibell. and for which he would not have taken 5540, died last week from injuries inflicted upon her in some way about a fortnight earlier. She appeared to have been struck vio- lently across the shoulders and upon one hip, and for the last few days of her life was unable to rise, which Dr. Mason, who saw her three or four times, attributed to pressure upon the spine, :1 hard lump having formed upon her shoulders.

The site of the stand has not yet been dc sided upon. but, fromwhat we hear, the vacant piece of ground near the» bell tower is likely to be chosen. The band, nnder the able leadership of Mr. Mark DcCew. is a credit to the village, and we are pleased to be able to state that suitable accommodation for it is tobe provided.
