Last fall he lost a valu- able thoroughbred Shorthorn COW. On Sunday morning he found a well-bred Clyde colt. rising two years, dead from blood-poisoning. caused by a kick. from a horse some two weeks ago. The frost had got into the wound before Mr. Peart was aware that it had got injured. It was a beauty. â€" â€"_ C... O“. .__ .- _“- Diall- Mrs. J. J.

Dr. McGillivray of Toronto preached very acceptably in the Presbyterian church on Sun- day evening, the 18th inst, to a crowded house. Mr. McGillivrav was student in Priceville in 1875- 1876, when a very young man, and not many that attended his meet- ings then of those who were in the prime of life were to be seen at the service. .PRICVEILLE. . The Weather has changed twice. during the past week. On Frida‘r night it rained. followed by hard frost on Saturday. Sleighing is fairly good, with few drifts this winter so far. Everyone with a stock «of timber of any kind is busy drawing logs. telephone poles. ties. and such like. The yard here is nearly full. Priceville is always thene, but we are not, so we are at a loss what to say about the doings in the town. As We get the mail now posted at our gate. and also delivered, it makes us lazier than usual to go to town. The annual meeting was held in the Presbyterian church on Wednesday evening of last week. and was fairly well attended, con- sidering the condition of the roads and weather. Mr. Donald'Campbell was ap- pointed representative to the Grand Lodge A.O.U.W.. to be held in Toronto in March. and Arch. Mc_I_(innon alternate. The Traverston sgriobhaka or writer says he traded horses with Dugald McDugald of this town. and that he is at a loss to tell him how to_ get on in Gaelic. Tell him: Suais, e suais. e tsearlaich cha neai an loid cho trom; or ‘git up, 'git up, Charlie, the load is not so heavy.’ How is Dugald to tell the Irish .horse how to get along, in Irish? ‘Git up, git up Paddy, or ilsse -I’ll give yez a goog batin’.‘ _ ‘1'wâ€"U‘ ' Mrs. Hepburq of Durham visited old friends in the vicinity of Top Cliff and ASwinton Park during the Mr. aid Mrs. J. P. Huhie; vof Durham, attended the Presbyterian church here on Sunday, and were guests of Mr. Aldcorn. Mr. and Mrs. Mather, south line, entertained some thirty or forty of their friends and neighbors one evening some ten days ago, when all enjoyed themselves till the small hours of the morning, re- turning when the thermometer was L20 below, to find 'a cold re- ception at their different home§. Miss Bertha McIntyre who spent month with her uncle, Norman McIntyre. south line, returned to Toronto last week.
