Patriotism was the keynote of the meeting. and before the lodge ad- journed $50 was voted to the Canadian patriotic fund, which was later supple- menteu by a donation to the same cause of $10 from each of the county lodges. the total of which will sum up to about. $400; $5 was donated to the Sick Children’s Hospital.

Patterson of Millbrook, was in town for a few days last week and re- ports the great French coach hor-e, Cheneau, as wintering in great form. Mr. Paterson, in addition to being a live horseman. is an all-round sportsman and crack shot. He has had an active season‘s sport hunting foxes in Cavan and sur- rounding townships. His companion is the fox hound Sport, which is a. "cracker- jack“ for sure. as they have captured and dispatched no less than filtytwc foxes this season and the fun is not yet at an end. With pelts selling at about $3 each Sport is a veritable bread-winner. â€"On Thursday the chief of police of Peterboro laid an information against. a carter for swearing on the street. He appeared before the magistrate and was fined one dollar and costs, $4.75 in all. Such proceedings would be a veritable Witwatersrand for the treasury of this town. The carters are not special offend. ers here. but the amount of wanton profanity, especially among young men who saunter to and fro, is a disgrace to any civilized community and an indication that the police and other people regard the law as a dead letter. â€"A very peculiar thing happened on the farm of Mr. John Vanstone near Cumbmy. On Dec. llth last Mr. Vanstone lost a pig. As time went on and nothing was heard of it, it was advertised, but still the mis~- ing animal did not. come to light. On Tuesday last, as Mr. Vanstone was moving a straw stack he missing pig was found. I: had crawled into it and could not get out. The peculiar part- of it is that. the pig is well and is doing fine. Mr. Vanstone says that in a few days more he is going to send it to South Africa. -â€"A deputation consisting of Sam. Fox, M.P.P., \Varden Ellis. Mayor Smyth, Col. Deacm, Thos. Stewart. Rich.

Reeve Boyd of Bobcaygeon, the council of Cartwright, ex wardens Parr and Devitt. and others, numbering over 30 in all, went to Toronto and asked the legislature to give the L. B. P.
