In the years of long ago a good sugar- -making season consisted of lrosty niahts, followed by warm day‘s. Then the sugar-bush had usually a. considerable depth of snovs, and the season lasted till the snow was all gone. Now the woods are so open the snow disappears rapidly and the seasons are much shorter. It is rumored that Germans in} ButTalo and Niagara Falls, N. Y., are plotting to blow up the power plants, and International bridge, and United States troops are co- operating with Canadian troops in guarding them.

Twamley was in Toronâ€" to for the past week to consult a specialist for some inward trouble. He underwent an operation, and naw feels relieved.

A sleighâ€"load of young people left here Friday for Holstein, to take part in a patriotic entertain- ment, but before reaching Varney, they were overtaken by a fierce thunder-storm, and sought shelter at the home of ‘Mr. John Kerr.

Mr. Valentine Hahn and Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Hahn and family left last week for Kitchener, where they intend to reside. They have been in the hotel business here for A few days ago we overheard a 10m ersation in which a farmer was (harged v» 1th locking his gate on the night of a patriotic box social in an adjacent school. The objett of his doing so was to prevent vis- itors from a distance with teams going there to get shelter for theii horses. The man against whom the accusation is made is not Ger- man, and we are not aware of him being a German sy mpathizer. That any loyal British subject would d) such a thing is almost unbeliex able.
