There is nothing which insures with more certainty a good crop of winter wheat than to have it lie for weeks under a heavy coating of snow as it protects the roots of the plants, keeps the ground warm, and renders it less subject to np-heavals from the frost in the spring. And it is claimed by many thata heavy fall of snow is the “poor man’s manure,” as it contains within itself a. fertilizing agent (ammonia) of considerable value.” REV.

The Reeve reverted that he and Coun. Clarke had waited upon Mr. Medd and ofi'ered him the sum specified by the council for the land required for Gavan-st. Mr. Medd had refused the offer. The report was adopted. Mr. Vance’s application for a rebate of taxes on his vacant dwelling was considered but no action was taken, the law did not seem to authorize the council to deal with such cases. Mr. John 1 gAllan’s application for a reduction, was ' granted on motion of Coun. Campbell sec- onded by Coun. Clarke. Capt.

The alarm was sounded just when the ministers in the difl'erent churches were warming up to their subjects, but it did not take long for all of these edifices to become emptied. The fire companies turned out with alacrity, and also with their engines, and were soon at work drenching out the flames. The fire was found to be in the cellar, having been started by some person in such position as to completely gut the remaining part of the building if it should remain undiscovered a sufficient length of time. A tour of the upper rooms showed that there was no fire there at that time, but when the flames in the cellar had become subdued it was found that some one had been upstairs and started a fire in a box among some old clothes, in a dark room on the second storey, a place where fire could not have been communicated from the cellar. When the door of this room was opened it was found to be intensely hot, but the appli' cation of a stream of water from the steamer quenched it very quickly. The damage that was done was on, the whole not very great, but it had the effect of rendering the place unfit for occupation. Mr. Thorne had intended to begin the restoration of the building on Tuesday, but this work has been delayed by the second fire.

The ob- jects of the societyare to furnish its members with sick and funeral benefits and an insur- ance of one or two thousand dollars. The payments for these benefits range from about one dollar to one dollar and fifty cents per month, according to the age of the member, and the amount of insurance carried. The membership is composed of men only, and when admitted they must be between the ages of eighteen and forty-five. The present number of members is over 16,000, and the society has a cash surplus on hand for the payment of the insurance of over $215,000, $50,000 of which is in the Domin- ion of Canada bonds, and the balance is in- vested in the best monetary institution of theDominion, In addition to this, courts have about half a million dollars in their treasuries for the payments of the sick and funeral benefits.
