The total amount of assets realized 1 was $1,060.10. The expenses were $849. 08, leaving $215. 02 to be dis- tributed among privileged creditors, ‘ with claims amounting to $1, 059. 42: and nothing for ordinary creditors. What a glorious thing is the law! Ordinary peopleâ€"~creditors, debtors, land litigants generallyâ€"may not al- ways realize all its beauties, but they are there all the same. And yet our Parl1ament can not be induced to take the slightest interest in the question of an Insolvency Act. The brown, hand-spanked. bare- footed, hardfisted country boy makes a better fight in the battle of life than the pampered, high-colored, and creased-trowsered youth of our cities whose clothes have always been dust- ed with a whisk broom instead of a shingle. Let the town man out of a Job try a year on the farm. Plowing behind a mule will take the kinks out of his tapknot, the frog out of his throat, the weakness out of his legs, and will give him an appetite, an honest living and a sight of heaven. A little fresh air weii was spending his first day in the conntry.-When the cows come up in the evening to he milked he went down to the horn- yerd with the host to see the opera- tion. The cows were stending about plecidly, end, as is their custom st that time of day. were contentedly chewing their cuds.â€"-The boy watch- ed the milkmnids at work, end his eyes dwelt with growing wonder et the ceaseless grind of the cows’ jews. At length he turned to his host and aid : " Do you have to buy gum for all of them ? ” A cricket player wants to know if the Editor of the Chronicle “can’t forget some things.” A Kansas clergyman had married a pair of negroes. After the cere- mony the groom asked. “ How much yo” charge fo’ dis '3” “ Well,” said the minister, “ 1 usually leave it to the groom. Sometimes I am paid five dollars. sometimes ten, some- times less.” ” Dat’s a lot ab money, pahson. Tell yo’ what Ah’ll do. Ah’ll gih yo’ two dollahs, and den of I fin’ I ain’t got cheated, I’ll gib yo’ mo’ in a monf." A month later the groom returned. “ Ah’s yere. lak Ah promised, pahson.” “ Yes,” said the minister expectantly. “Ah tol’ yo’ dat ef it was all right. Ah’d gib vo’ mo’ money. Didn’t Ah?” “You did ” “Well, pahson, as dis yere am a spec’lation, Ah reckon yo’ owe about a dollah an’ eighty-five cents, an’ Ah come ter git it.” “ J ohn,” aaked a Forreaton teacher of a boy at aohool. “ if your father borrowed from you 8100 and ahould agree to pay you 810 per month, how much would he owe you at the end of aeven months? ” ” One hundred dollara,” said the boy promptly; “ I am afraid you don’t know your arith- metic.” laid the teacher. “ Well.” said the boy. “ I may not know my arithmetic. but I know my father.” The Owen Sound papers “ forgot ” to report the Lacrosse match played here on June 23rd. We beg to re« mind them that the score was 9 to 2. They " forgot ” also to give a report of the game on their own grounds with the Lornes of Mt. Forest. The Sounders can certainly “ forget some things ” but they mustn’t for- get that our boys are to play there on the 20th. It Love would only light the hitch- on fire on well :3 ho do» those of puaiono, lilo would run smoother. Tom Harris tells a story of an in- different voter in the last electron, whom he reports to have said to one of the candidates that “ It was “ im- perial ” to him which of the candi- dates got in as he was not ” perspir- ing ” for political honors.” Tom “ forgot ” to mention that it wasn’t Sullivan that made the remark. The father of a pretty young lady in Glenelg township tells the follow- ing story on a young man who stop- ped at his house one night. recently. According to the father’s story of the “ sad affair” the young man called on his daughter to spend the evening, and when he ot ready to leave for home he rea ized that a heavy storm was raging outside. He had no umbrella or rubber coat, and when the girl’s father asked him to remain at the house he readily con- sented. He is a very bashful young man, and next morning when he was invited to a seat at the table he re- luctantly accepted. He was very nervous and agitated. He sat oppo- site a mirror and discovered he had forgotten to comb his hair. Then he 'dropped his knife and fork on the floor, and as he steeped to pick them i up he upset his colee. Matters went gfrom'bad to worse, until finally, in idespair, the young man quit eating l“ put his hands under the table. l'l'be loose end of the tablecloth was 1 lying in his lap. and whende touched git he turned pale. ‘He thought it ! was his shirt. and in his nervous ex- . lcitement had forgotten to put the! :garment inside his trousers. That i accounted for the smiles and his em- ibarrassment. There was no time to ilose. lie hurriedly ltufied the supâ€" : posed shirt inside his trousers. Two l. minutes later when the family arose 1:er the breakfast table there was a crash. The dishes lay in a broken mass on the floor ;_ the young man pulled two feet of” tablecloth out of his trousers and led through the door. He has not been beard’ef since.

The Lodge here is melting good progrese. The Walkerton Independent Order of Oddfellowa held their annual cere- many on Sunday last for the decora- tion of the graves of departed breth- ren. fourteen of whom now rest in “ The City of the dead ” outside that town. About one hundred and fifty Oddfellows, headed by theiband, took part in the procession. On entering the cemetery the brethren formed a circle and joined in singing " We’ll all gather home in the morning.” A prayer by Rev. Mr. Tindall. and short and appropriate addresses by Rev. Dr. Ross and Rev. Mr. ‘Wilson were next oflered, after which the brethren proceeded to the decoration of the graves by placing on each a couple of beautiful bouquets in small vases bearing the three-link emblem indicative of Friendship, Love and Truth. At the close of this exercise The Sweet By and By was sung, after which Bro. Fraser, a member of the Order, delivered a short address. The benediction being pronounced by Rev. Mr. Tindall, the procession re- turned to their Lodge Room. The ceremony was solemn, simple and impressive. and whether or not it may be characterized as formal. the mere act of visiting the graves of deceased brethren and placing there- on a token of love. has a tending to perpetuate the memory of the dead who, though gone, will not be for- gotten. The following from Durham took part. in the ceremony: D. Campbell. Arthhr Jackson, I“. Lenahan, Fred Search, Wes. Theobald, Geo. Hughes, ’1‘. J. Jordan. Joe Burnett, W. B. Vollet and W. Irwm.
