He reports having seen a load of three‘ soft elm logs, measuring on. an average 1200 feet; each and drawn by one team of horses for three eights of a mile. The tOp end of the butt log was 37 inches in diameter and ‘24 feet long A very good load John but our Massey Station correspondent tells of a load in this issue that puts yours in the shade._ WE regret to chronicle the death of Mr. R. H. Middaugh which occur-a ed on Sunday last at his home in Pricexille. The deceased was a son of the late H. J. \Iiddaugh. He was born in Ohio 52') years aoo, fought in the Ameiican Civil VVai and has since been drawing a pension. He came to Canada about twenty-five years ags, since which time he has been engagei chiefly in the Hotel and livery business. He is repre- sented to us as a very highly re- Spected citizen and esteemed by all who knew him. A short time ago he purchased property in town, fell heir to the Middaugh House estate, on the death of his father and in- tended to retire Where he could Spend the remainder of his days in quietness. He leaves a Wife and one child Who’have the heartfelt sympathy of the community. The remains were interred in Flesherton cemetery on Tuesday lass. LA GRIPPE is prevalent.

Some say Eve 8 and Adam 2â€"â€"-a total of 10 only. Now we figure the thing out far different. Eve 8 and Adam 8 also“ total 16. \Ve think the above figures are entirely wrong. If Eve 8 and Adam 82, certainly the total will be 90. Scientific men, however. on the strength of the theory that the antediluvians were a race of giants, reason something like thisâ€"Eve 81 and Adam 82â€"total 163. Wrong again.

JAMES ALLAN writing from Voss, North Dakota, says :â€"-“ Find Mr. Stewart Bothwell, of Egre- mont, died on Monday 15th, at the age oi 78 years. Another fit subject for a house of industry passed away about 1 o’clock Sunday morning in the person of Adam Fauble, an aged and infirm. indigent from the township of Nor- manby. Fauble first came to jail last July, having been committed for one month as a vagrant by Police Magistrate W. Ryan of South Grey. At the end of his term he was unable to return home and was kept by Governor Miller till Oct. 12th. when he was discharged. On Dec. 18th he was sent back for another term of three months. Dr. Cameron, coroner, empanelled a jury, with Mr. Aaron Reid as foreman, anda verdict was reached that deceased came to his death as the result of old age, debil- ity and rupture. This case, occurr- ing juSt at the present moment, gives point to the ringing remarks of Dr. Chamberlain, inspector of prison and charities, regarding the confinement of paupers in the jailsâ€" ;which remarks we quote in extenso l .in another column for the benefit of those who are yet unconvinced ofthe need of a house of industry in the County of Grey.-â€"O. S. Times. DURHAM, ONT, MARCH 18, 18971 About ten o’clock Mr. Mitchell was invited to the parlor Where he was presented with a beautiful gold headed cane, accompanied by an address, expressive of the kind feel- ings that always existed between the Editor and the staff. Mr. W. John- ston read the address and Mr. Gra- ham made the presentation, after which Mr. Mitchell i'Lâ€"very feelingly expressed his gratitude to the corres- pondents who so long and so willing- ly stood by him, and assisted him in making THE CHRONICLE what it is, the most widely read local paper in Ontario to-day, Dr. Jamieson and Mr. John Queen also spoke of the high standing of Mr. Mitchell as a journalist and a member of the community. Mrs. W. Flynn, who with her daughter Alice has lived for the past score of years on lot 13, con 6, died last Friday morning at the age of seventy-four years. She was a nat- ive of the Emerald Isle and a faith- ful adherent of the R. C. church. Much symyathy is felt for Alice who is now all alone in the world. The unfavorable condition of the weather was, no doubt, the reason Why a greater number were not pre- sent. The folloWing members of the staff however put in an appearance:â€" R. T. Edwards, John A. Graham, iobt. Adlam, W. T. Brown, “7. D. Mills, J. Collett, Iohn Queen, Wm. Johnston, Wm. McCalmon R. \K’ard and James Mack. Being somewhat unwelL Mr. Asa. Robson came home from Owen Sound Coll.

There we had, Ye Editor included, oysters and turkeys galore, served up in the very best style known to the culinary art, and we are sure that before leaving that table. everyone was satisfied. Toasts were proposed to the Queen, the guess, the ladies and the press, and everyone present enlivened the proceedings by speaking or singing.

Had it been fine, the house would have been crowded to overflowing. Never were the eatabl-s better. You could thrust your hand into any basket and be sure of drawing out something prime. The program was the best we’ve had for years. Rev.Burns, of Corinth. delivered a pithy, logical, earnest address. The music by Messrs Parker and Jones of the Durham orchestra accompanied by Miss Gertie Pomeroy was ex- ceedingly good. Zion’s choir excell- ed in their singing, excellent recit- ations were given by MiSS Ella Cook and Cashier Jones. Lawyer Batson made a neat-little Speech and left a good impression. on his hearers.

The Tea-meeting at Drom-ore on Tuesday evening last was quite a success. The eatables were all that could be desired. The music was first class. in fact the Dromore choir is hard to beat. :Mr. Ramage, the leader, is master of the situation. The church building is a credit to the community and shows how the people appreciate a fitting place for the worship of God. The literary menu was long and varied. In addi- tion to the beautiful and appropriate service rendered by the choir, In- Spector Campbell spoke on “ Public Opinion ”. Mr. McMullen, M.P., on “Matrimony and Homelife”, Rev.

IL is alleged that the Mowat promises to the Temperance people are not being- carried out by the present adminis- tration; on the other hand the government organs endeavor to show that tne pledges of Sir Oliver are being redeemed, but that the queSL- ion now under consideration has reference to a restriction in the license system While Sir Oliver’s pledges were to deal with prohibitory measures, or to place such restriction as the circumstances of the- case would justifv. It is even said that the proposed changes are retrogres- sive rather than progressive. The proposed changes in the On- tario License Laws are being severely discussed. Thetemperance peOple do not like them because they do not go far enough and the Licensed victuai- lers on the other hand claim that too. much restriction is being placed on their business. v. The new law, if it becomes law “(ill allow only three hotels for the first thousand ’of population with one additional for an additional six- hundred. The law now allows four for the firsc thousand and one for each additional four hundred of population. The hours of closing the bars will also be changed from 12 midnight to 11 in cities and towns and 10 p. m, in villages and muni- cipalities.
