The recent cold dip has had a won- derful effect on the wood pile. We have had considera )le sour wood which is very annoying, and a host of promises for a lurther supply of fuel, which has been equally unsatisfactory. J. H.

Geoboe Lamb ot 19con.,EgrenoDt deliberately suicided lastFriday morn ing. He had been in Mt. Forest the previous day, and a gentleman who rode some distance witb him, states that he even was in better spirits than usttftf "chatting jocularly all the way, yet th^e is no doubt but that he had in his possession at the time the rope purchased for the rash and fatal act. On Friday morning he went out as usual to feed the stock, and not returning, his boys went to see what was keeping him and were hoirified to discover his lifeless body banging by a rope attached to one of the rungs of a ladder which he had leant agamst the side of a straw stack. His feet was only about 2 inches from the ground and the ladder was within easy reach, so the deed was evidently premeditated and executed with terrible earnestness His financial position was sound and he was neither addicted to the use of nor under the influence of hquor. â€" Durham GhronicU.

AWFUL CATASTROPHE. An Illinois Ednrational Institu- tion Destroyed by Fre. Dundalk. from our own corre$pondent. The cattle fair on Tuesday was fairly attended. The question of incorporotion is be- ginning to agitate the minds of some of our citizens.

Haney, one of our merchants removed to Luther this week. It is hoped his success or Mr. Wheeler will be oiore enterprising than Mr. Haney was. The proprietor of our woollen mills has "done it up sly.' He was mar- ried last week to Mis^ McCosh, of Melancthon, yery sly l^illie, but not so sly as you imagined. J. J. Middleton, Esq., has been re- turned to the position he formerly oc- cupied as Beeve of Proton. The band celebrated the event by serenading him at bis residence on Monday even- ing. Notwithstanding the large number of nominations very little interest was manifest in the election of police trus- tees. One of the four candidates re- signed, leaving tbe other three mas- ters of the field, viz Thos. Hanbuury A. G. Hunter, G. R. Middleton. St. Louis, Jan. 5. â€" In the institute of the Immaculate Conception Sisters of Notre Dame, Belleville, 111., des- troyed by fire last night, were sixty pupils â€" all girls from 10 years to adult age â€" several teachers, and other inmates. After the fire st.^rted an attempt was made by the Sisters to extinguish it, and failing efforts were made to remove the pupils. The flames spread so rapidly that no order could be preserved, and a panic seized both children and sisters with wild conftfsion, and a rush to escape. Forty or more pupils are known to have got out, but several in their fright jumped from the windows, and wore either killed or badly injured. It is reported that the fire started from the furnace in the basement, and the flame spread upward cutting off most of the exits. Golden Webdinq. â€" On the 29th of Dec, 1883, Mr. William Hunter aged 73 and hia wife now 70 celebrated the fiftieth year of their married life, surrounded by a large circle of sons and daughters, sons-in-law, daughter? in-law, grand children and great grand- children. The marriage ceremony was repeated by the Eev. W. E. Mc- Kay, B. A., after which the rev. gen- tleman gave a very able and exhaustive address, during the delivery of which tears were shed by many of the friends. It is a striking coincidence that exactly a quarter of 8 century ago W. H. Hunter, Esq., their old- est son, was united iu the bands of holv raatriinoney to hia preoent wife, then Miss Gniespie, and this was the first marriage ceremony preformed by Jlr. McKay in this paxt of the country. After the feast which had been bounti- fully provided for the occasion was over, Mr. and Mrs. Hunter were made tbe recipients of many valuable pres- ents. I may also state that Mr. and Mra. Hunter have seventy-three gi*and children living and seventeen great grandchildren. It was a happy oc- casion and one that will not be soon forgotten by aU who were present.

The Grand Trunk, too, are in favor of- it, but do not expect to adopt it before January 1st, 1885^ The saving to the railroad and the convenience to the public â- here- from will be almostincalculation Under this system a passenger buys a fifty mile, ticket mede up in a little book with a perforated section for each mile Each of these little sections is good for a mile in any direction or on any part of the road. • â- Â»â-  Credit Sale Register.
