Mr. Editor, it is now some time since this place was heard from and to tell you the truth its pretty hard to hear from us yet. We used to hear the Durham Cement whistle, but whether its the enormous snow banks that intervene. breaking the sound before it reaches us, or the circumvolution of the wind that causes the silence we do not know. but we lave not heard a whistle for the last two weeks. There is snow in abundance. roads are in a badstate being impossible to take loads of any kind out to any advantage, If some of you Durhamites were travelling up the south line. Glenelg, you would be apt to form the Opinion that we were farming the highways, as you can find in one place a stack of hay and in another place a stack of straw all lrom the result of upsets. It is no joke to start out for Durham with a load of hay and your horses begin to crowd. first on one side and then on the other, and it takes sped Christian to select his wor‘sne‘er Mrs. N. G.

We hope soon to hear of”: recovery. Tommy Morton. of Durham is at present on an extended visit to his cousins near the Rocky. . On Monday evening of this week a benefit concert was given in the Hall. It was given for the purpose of re ducing the debt on Mrs Kerr’s pro- perty. The program was furnished chiefly by Mount Forest talent, con ducted by Mrs. Zinn. The selections were of the very highest order and were thl rendered. Our own Dr. Brown fairly brought down the house with his parody on " How old is sis- ter Ann ?” taken from the incidents in the special school meeting held last week. The proceeds amounted to $50. G, Newell recently disposed of a fine horse to Mr. Caldwell and made the puxchase of a fine three year old cclt from Wm. Timmins to fill its place. The snow is still piling up and if it. keeps on much longer the Rocky will be lost sight of altogether. One Ayor’s Plll at bed'tâ€"Ifiio lnsufi a natural actlon next mornlng. Miss Rose Ewen 59hr.

There was a lively time but no blood was shed although we though that the assistance of the local police would be necessary to quell the disturbance. Another meeting to discuss the school ques- tion will be held on Monday evening of next week.' We trust that the matter will be discussed in a cool and deliberate manner and that petty spleen will not debar the coming to a right. conclusion. Mr. T. Jordan has been waiting anxiously for his goods to arrive as he is anxious to get into the trade. HoweVer, his anxiety has been re- lieved by the arrival on Saturday and Monday of several cases of the (le- sirable. R. B.
