FEBRUARY 14, 1913. l Dr. Hess’ Poultry Bauaoea One Hundred Years of Peace. Montreal Witness. A hundred years of peace on a bor- der line three thousand ‘miles long, for more than half of which distance the line has no more substance than posts placed in the ground miles apart, to- tally unwatched and without even the potential resources of military protec- tion having been provided, is an achievement of which two nations are rightfully proud. It is an event in the world’s history of no small import. It may be said that it required resig- nation and some sacrifice both of jus- tice and territory on the part of the weaker; but also it may be said that it demanded a self-control and a deter- mination not to embark on the road to empire by the stronger.‘ The more we make of the coming peace centenary the more remote we make the possibil- ity of war, and the more we fix the principle of arbitration.

The farm is near Drummond’s Bay, consist- ing 01’: Lot 2. con. 7, Fenelon. Irwin Sanderson was threshing‘clover for Mr. Hamilton, and it is thought that a spark from the engine got into the mow, as it was there the fire was first noticed. The fire gained rapid headway owing to the inflammable nature of the straw. Nothing could be done to save the barn. The efforts of the men were wholly directed to saving as much stock as possible. Despite thir valicnt efforts four cattle, all the machinery and imple- ments with the exception of a waggon, some food and some grain, were burned. All that remains of the barn is the foundation. Mr. Hamilton had the barn and con- tents insured in the Farmers’ Mutual for $1700. The value of the burnt property would possibly be $2500. Mr. Sanderson lost his clover mill 'in the flames, the value of which was about $700. We do not know what his insur- ance is. There was a strong wind blowing at the time of the fire, which carried the sparks towards the house. Great diffi- culty was experienced in saving the residence, which caught fire three times. Fortunately the bucket brigade was able to kcep it under control. Seeks $50,000 irom the Colonel. I‘d-Iâ€" Montreal Herald:â€"- Mr. Brenton A. Maanb now seeks $50,000 from Col. the Hon. Sam. Hughes, Minister oi Militia, for alleged malicious libel. , Previously Mr. MocNab wanted $10,- 000, and a retractionâ€"or failing the latter, he wanted to have the minister serve a term in the common jail. Now he claims that the alleged libel has been repeated, and wants live times the amount previously asked for. An amendment was fylcd to-duy by Mr. Charles Gaudet, K. 0., who is Mr. MaoNab’s attorney, in which prominent Canadians are mentioned. Mr. Gandot states that, inasmuch as the defendant has denounced the plaintiff since the institution of his action in terms of malicious opprobrinm which would have the effect of placing upon plaintiff odium and disgrace, the damages claimed by plaintiii be increased from $10,000 to $50,000. The plaintifi's attorney specifics cer- tain places and persons in which and to whom the defendant is alleged to have denounced Mr. MncNab. At the Rideau Club, Ottawa, the names of Hon. Robert Rogers, Messrs. D. Lorne McGibbon and L. T. Marcehal, K. 0., and Wallace Nesbitt, K. 0., are cited. At the Chateau Laurier, Ottawa, Col. E. W. B.
