Tm: Toronto Globe says the Obser- vatory records confirm the popular impression as to the cold and snow- falls during the month of January of this rear The mean average tem- perature of Toronto was 16 degrees. which was 6.6 degrees lower that the average for the past 63 years. The arerare snowfall for the past 63 years was 17 inchee, whereas in January this year it was 18; inches, and there were actually 19 days of snow. M38 Jonx ALDRED who underwent an operation some time ago is doing nicely. and Mr. Aldred says great praise is due Dr. Macdonald for the skilful manner in which he performed the Operation, which lasted three and one half hours.

Two mysterious fires occured re- centlv in the vicinity of Riverview. township of Melancthon. and no: far from the locality infested hyfire hugs Come years ago It is to he hoped that the fires were accidental, and that. maliciously inclined persons are not now at work. On Tuesday week some out. buildings belonging to Mr. Lewis were distroyed and the barn was narrowly saved from destruction. Only a few days previously Mr. Lay- hnrn had his barn burned mys- teriously ; some pigs he saved from his own fire were burned in M r.

Mr. Justice McMahon, at Toronto, delivered a judgement of considerable interest to new3paper publishers, when he held that an editor was not bound to reveal the identity of a writer whose contribution is called into question. The Sutton corres- pondent of The Newmarket Express- Herald. in his weekly letter to that paper. made a statement which Miss Eva Marsh. of Sutton, declares re- flected unfavorably upon herself. A enis against the paper followed. and Mr. T. H Lloyd proved before Judge McMahon for an order compelling Ir. McKay, the editor, to disclose the name of the writer. Mr. S. B. Woods appeared upon behalf of the editor, and court declared that such information was private and confi- dential and need not be disclosed. EDI'I‘ISG a newspaper is a fine thing. If we publish jokes, people say we are rattle-brained. If we don’t, we are old fossils. If we publish original matter. they say we dont give them enough selections. If we give them Delections. they say we are too lazy to write. If we dout go to church, they say we are heathen. If we do, they say we are hypocrites. If we remain in the office then we ought to no out and hustle for news. If we go out. then we are not attending to business. If we wear old clothes. they will laugh at us. If we wear good clothes they will say we have a pull. Now. what are we to do? Just as likely as not someone will say we ltole this from an exchange. and so we did. But it is a good thing. and and we submit it to those who are in- clined to criticise, rather than help the editor. A few robes to be sold cheap at' Bucky I.

A Smely Happy Han app “As bright as amarriage morning"! is a much used saying and was never' more fittingly applied than to the event which took place at noon hour in the home of County Commissioner Allan on Wednesday. The day was the brightest of a very bright and pleasant week. The happy couple were no other than the widely known, much esteemed and handsome Wil~ liam James McFadden, of Durham. and Miss Margaret Grace Allan, who is considered by all in this part to bet quite his equal. and she never lookedl better then that morning dressed in snowflake mohair with cream silk sherred blouse and large hat of blue velvet trimmed with plumes and brilliant buckles. The Rev. Wm. Farquharson tied firmly the knOt in the presence of near relatives of the contracting parties. after which the company repaired to the diningroom and partook of an excellent wedding dinner. The groom’s gift to the bride was a handsome gold watch and chain. The happy couple took {the three o’clock train for Toronto :and other places of interest. On j their return they will take up house- i keeping in Durham. The best wishes of thrV one in this part go with . them. :ed. A special meeting was held on Saturday night to give the informa- ‘ tion and let them have the privilege .of saying which it should be. Al- f though they seemed almost unanim- ;ous for a new school. yet on a motion ;h;,' Mr. J. Tucker that we have the 1 grant restored by building a new one 'in 1905, Mr. Wm.

Duncan Marshall, Bracebridge, On- tario, who organized North York in 1902 and 1903 in the interests of Hon. E J. Davis, and managed the recent bye-elections in Muskoka and North Renfrew on behalf of the Govern- ment candidates; has decided to quit organization work and devote all his attention to the management of his newspaper. the Bracebridge Gazette. In taking this step Mr. Marshall does not an aside all interest in politics. His services will no doubt be in de- mand on the plattorm not only in byeclections but in the general con- tests that occur in the regular course of events. In the: Midland counties during the next contest in his capa' city as a speaker he will be in fre- quent demand.

It wasn’t good taste for those in favor of the motion at the school meeting to question the qualifications of some youthful voters on the other side.
