Fine weather for _ December will shorten the loog and dreary | winter which we may expect later on. Now is the time to ges out wood as it is excellent weather for oush work and those accustomed to use the axe from onr youthfal days will take delight in being privileged to be able to use it still although not as swilt as in days of old, but a coutinuâ€" al dropping we are told will wear out the rocks, (if allowed to use the exâ€" l pression), soa continual hacking with | an old axe will down the biggest trees in the forest, even it the blow is slow but sare and certain, Those of us who are old enough to remember . olden times when our brave fathers taced the forests of the County of Grey and built a smali shanty in the bush and chinked it with moss and left a hole on the roof for the smoke to ascend upwards towards the tops of the trees and when the howling of the wind blew fiercely, the inmates of the small dwelling would often be wakened fromjtheir slumbers by the roats of the tall trees nearby, casting sometimes forth branches which might perhaps light on the tops of the building. _ o This reminds us of an incident which happened betore we were able to do anything in the shape of work. A goodâ€"natured highlander jast out trom the Isle of Mall or some other Isle in the old land, commenced clearing up a small pateh tor potaioes n his 50 acre lot, not 100 miles owest ef Priceville. His firss act ot course was to put up a small shanty tor himself, wife and baby, Being a greenborn he had very little idea of how he should fell the trees. One day when in the act ot talling a large tree far enough away from theshanty bus near enough for the top co reach the roof, so thinking if he left the side of the tree was inclined to go without touching it, he was alright that the tree would go the direction he wanted, whether the tree did or not, but to his horror he found that the tree fell the way it was Inclined to go and landed the large branches on the top of the shanty where his good wile and baby were sitting vhinking nothing of the calamity thay was to happen them in a moment‘s ime. The roof broke in and poor Neil was in a fix and yelled ou; at vhe top of his yoice in his own good language, the gaelic, *‘ Am Cheil thu beo a Mhari, or are you liying Mary 2 _ So poor Mary miracalousâ€" ly escaped witn more of a scare than burt. But going back again to clden imes during winter the new beginuer in the bush thought nothing of chopâ€" ping 10 or 15 acres of a fallow, toresh ail bhis grain with the stick and a bhall flail, draw home al his wood in drags, chop is at the house, feed aii nis stock, go to Durbham mill with nis griss of some hait dozen bags ‘perbaps of frozen wheat (as it hapâ€" pened often to be «he case) walit in vhe mill for two days aud sometimes looger before his turn came, and af ter performing all this work he never even caught a cold and came out a tresh man in the spring and able to do his sammer work in first putting in his cropof some acres and then burning the brash and geiting his tallow cleared up for next year‘s crop, go to chrach (if any) with his homespuan suit, big boots homeâ€"made, traw hat and was as happy as the King. Buat yery ftew of these good old tough people of the olden duys »re to be found. They have passed away : we only can find the moalded inseription on the marble _ slabs, which marks their resting place in the city of the dead, but the world is passing on all the saime. On the 14th Dec., Tuesday evenâ€" ing of next week, the Aonual enterâ€" tainment will be held in the Presbyâ€" terian chureh in connection with the Sunday Eehool. _A good program will be given and a pleasant time exâ€" pected. All invited to patronize the Sabbath School entertainment â€" or Anpniversarys + )0 â€"â€"_ And then on Wednesday evening the 22nd Dec., a grand concert wiil be held in Watson‘s Hall under the auspices of that class of ladies and gentlemen called the A. 0. U. W. Ihis is to be without exception one of the best concerts of the season and all should avail themselyes of the opporâ€" anity of being there, as the comâ€" wmittee appointed to look after the affair, spares no time or means in securing the best of talent for the vccasion. "welse Donald Graham, Jr., is at present visiting hbis father, Mr _ Donald Grabam of this place _ We are pleased to see Donald so well after his recent spell of sickness in the far away west. Mr Donald McDonald, old Darham Road, Artemesia,. received the sad news of the death of his son‘s wife in the west. So death is on the move all over the land. _ A‘so the death of Alex Calder formerly of Egremont, who died 4rom the effects of a fall trom the top ot a bridge where he was working, some four or five hanâ€" dred miles from Winnipeg. He lived for three days after the aceiâ€" dent. He was buried at Winnipeg where his broshers are ; so another poor aged mother is left to mourn for one of ber dutifal sons. She is living with her youuger son Archie at Top Cliff, South line, Glenelg. Mr Arch, McCuaig, of Top Cliff, bad George Myers part of two days cutting corn and straw last week with his engine. _ The time is drawing nigh for muniâ€" cipal aspirants to make known their intentions. Its a sura case that Councilliors Nichol and Weir are to be antagonists for the D?Igt. Reeyeâ€" ship ot Glenelg for 1910, Too bad to have one of these good fellows thrown overboard and left to remain at home as tar as Council mattersis concernâ€" ed during the nexs 12 months | It is rumored that Exâ€"Reeve MeFadden is to be out again for the Reeveship against Mr Hunt, but is only a hearâ€" say so far as we krow, but nominaâ€" tion day will tell who is to run or walk and a week later who is g:lnfi to stay at home or g0 to Owen Soun 1O ARCHIVES TORONTO Priceville courthouse for 3 sessions dqring 1910. A week ago Sunday night the Rev Mr Berry preached a powerfal serâ€" mon on temperance or the evile of intemperance. â€" Mr Berry is a great temperance man. Last Sunday was gaelic day in the Presbyte:ian church. The poor old people that used to need the old language are nearly all gone with the exception of a small number. Were it not for the sake of keeping up the language of some of our foreâ€" fathers it would have been abandoned long ago. 30 or 40 years ago the old kirk used to be fuil of gaelic worshippers eVe?
