The snow storm of Sunday night amit Monday was without doubt the most violent that we have experien- eed this year. It may have beem a result of the atmospheric commotion caused by the blizzard that raged last week in Northern Ontario and Que- bee. Owing to the compact condition of the snow on the ground due tothe recent thaws little opportunity was afforded for drifting apart from what accompanied the hurricane.

Mr. Justice Teetzel. at Toronto; on Tuesday gave judgment in favor of the Camada Life Assurance Company in the suit brought by Edmund Har- ley. of Brantford. to recover $3,000 on an insurance policy.

The costs of the suit are equally divided. The 'story of Dr. Beattie Nesbitt's appointment as president of the Far- mers bank, while that institution was but a sickly imfant. is told by a sub- stantial business man. It is this. and reads like an extract front the "Fur- ther Adventures of Get-Rich Quick Wallingford'; "Nesbitt declared that he had mo money to qualify. but pro- posed that $5,000 be given him from the 'bank's funds for. this purpose. This was done by Travers. The mon- ey was deposited im another bank and Nesbitt drew his eheque against it and purchased. his shares.

We be- lieve that the report prepared by the government official employed to in- vestigate the condition of these French schools has been received at Toronto and is far from favorable. The gov- ernment may be depended upon. how- ever. to take action on this matter during the present session. for it is too vital an issue to let slumber.-- Kingston Standard. Bright young farmers are members of Farmers' Clubs and delight in dis- cussions subjects in which they take a deep personal interest. They are yearly saving money for additional stock, and by periodical visits to the Ontario Agricultural College. the Winter Fair and local exhibitions. keep themselves in touch with agricul- tural conditions gemerally . Their fathers were content to read two or three mewspapers. They subscribe for four. perhaps six. read some maga- zines and go to near-by public librar- ies for further instruction. They are active in church work, indulge in manly sports; and cultivate the soc- ial world im a healthy sort of a way. The success these young men have made of farming inclines us to believe that those who have left the farm for the town and city have made a ser- ious mistake.

The Case engine got up steam and made its way over the icy road from the station in safety. hook- ed up.to the other engine and start- ed back, They had mot proceeded far- ther than Mr. H.

We are in receipt of a copy of the Haldimand Banner published at Cal- edonia and note that the Presbyter- ian church of which Rev. N. D. Mac- Kinnon is pastor held their annual meeting. The report shows that the pastor since his induction om March 27th made 360 pastoral visits and 73 sick calls among the 150 families con- mected with the congregation. $2600 was raised for church purposes and $810 for missions. The report of the Sunday School was one of the best presented for years. Fourteen pup- ils had recited the whole of the Short- er Catechism and received the diplom- as granted by the General Assembly for this work as well as the very handsome bihle presented by the session to encourage the study of the catechism. The school also sup- ports a child im one of the Mission schools. By the umanimous voice of the congregation Mr. MacKimnon's stipend was increased from $1000 to $1100.. the inerease to date from the first of the year. Simee coming to Caledonia both Mr. MacKinnon . and the members of his family have en- (eared themselves to Presbyterians and members of other churches as well and the first nine months of his pasterate. have been eminently suc- cessful in every department of the church work. After the Doxology hat been sung and the benediction pro- nounced all present adjourned to the school room, where a dainty lunch was served by the ladies and a most enjoyable hour spent in social inter- counse. Judging by the enthusiasm and unanimity displayed at their an- mual meeting. Caledonia Presbyter- iams have entered upon one of the best . ' _--- ri oy f One of the facilities which the Can--- adian Government Annuities Act af--- fords. is that givem to old people of -- investing their capital with absolute seourity and safety. and with amuch freater return than any other form of investment will give them, man pf 80 years off aga who is living in one of the small villages in On--- tario, aml who has outlived all her near relatives, has a deposit in the Savings bank of $1,500. which is all that remains of a very considérable fortune left her by her husband, who prelleweased here nearly fifty years ago. This amount is earning her an imeome of $45 a year, which, needless to say is mot sufficient to provide her with the mecessaries of life. and tho poor house would ultimately have been her only destiny as im a little less than six years she would have spent © the remainder of her capital. as her living expenses are over $300 a Wear. One day the little booklet "Comfort and Happiness" found ita way into this lady's hands.. She per- used it carefully and considered its statements thoughtfully with the re- sult that she is advised to transfer her $1,500 to the Government. She will then receive an income of $288 every year imstead of $45, and the probability jis that her life will be much extended. Certainly her happi- ness and comfort while she lives will be imereased. as the difference of $243 a year jin her income will mean to her all the difference between poverty and aifffluance. She may lve to be 100-- paternal grandfather did, Particulars concerning this provi- dent system of investment may be had from your Postmaster, or from the Superintendent of Annuities, Ottawa. to whom letters mayi be ad- dressed postage free. LAWYERS HAD BEST PLACES. , New York Herald Senator William Pierson Ficro, of Catskill. N.Y.. was seated about the enormous fireplace in Keeler's hotel Albany. N-Y. the other night when he told this story. ; "I remember thirty, years ago when I was a lawyer. there were about fif- teen or eighteen of us--all lawyers-- Seated about a fireplace much like this. It was a raw, wet might. A be- draggled stramger. wet to the hide. came in, tried to get accomodations and was told there was not a room left. The mearest other place was a mile away. Shivering the stranger looked at the fire. but we formed such a solid line about it that he could not get mear it. Finally one of the law- yers in a spirit of frivolity turned to bim and said.; - . "My friend are you a traveler?" "T am sir. I have tbeen all over the work." "You don't say been in German. Egypt. Japan and all the countries in Africa and Asia.?'" "All of them, been everywhere." 'Ever been in hell?" "Oh. yes been there twice." "How did you find things there?" "Oh much the same as here -~ law- yers all next to the fire. ANOTHER G. T. R, FATALITY A terrible catastrophe took place on the Buffalo & Goderich line of the G. T. R. midway between Parisand Drum bo on Saturday evening about 9.20 o'clock whereby six. men lost their lives: and five others were seriously injured. The accident was-the re- sult of. a head-on collision between the westbound passenger train run- ning from Buffalo to Goderich and a mogul engine running light contrary to orders. Following in the wake of the colli- sion came a terrible devasting fire which cremated the bodies of a couple of the victims. and made an easy prey of the three splintered coaches of the train, The fire left nothing but the bare trucks and wheels and a massof twisted iron and charred ruin.. The dead are A. Turner, engineer. awd J. D. Smith. fireman, Stratford; P. McFarlane, baggageman, J. White- law. expt@ss 'messenger. and Wm. mail clerk, Goderich; D. J. Crozier. Drumbo.

Practically 'nothing of the remains of mail clerk Tye were located despite the fact that a thorough search was made pn Sunday morning. THE LATE WM, TYE The late Wm. Tye who was killed near Drumbo on Saturday last was @ son of the late Henry D. Tye. _ of Haysville. and was about 52 years old, He had been on this run for 33 years and this was the first accident.
