The penurlous policy which the Post Office Department is pursuing towards the country postmasters is regularly demoralising the service in this neighbourhood, says the Orillia Packet. `One after another the coun- try postmhsters have refused to con- tinue to serve for the miserable pit- ances which the Postmaster-General allows them. Ardtrea post oice has `been moved twice, and is now so close to town as to be of little ser- vice to many of its patrons, some of whom nd it easier to go all the way lto Washago for their mail. Crown Hill post office was closed. some time ago. The latest Dbstmaster to go on strike is the incumbent of the gMarchmont office, and for the past couple of weeks those who have been in the habit of getting their mail there have been wandering iround to Warminster, Price s Corn- ers and Orillia, scarcely knowing where they may nd mail matter ad- dressed to them. ` `Such a condition of aairs is a public scandal. Any other business of the same dimen- sions. would feel it incumbent to serveits customers even at a tem- porary loss. If a private corpora- `tion with a monopoly of a franchise [| were to treat the public in such a. way, there would be a tremendous howl. Surpluses are well enough to parade before the country, and win eclat for their creators; but they come too clear when they are pur- chased at the cost of eiciency, which should be the first consideration in the postoice. And surpluses which are secured by screwing down the salaries of country postmasters to starvation point, at a time when every other class of service is com- manding advancing remuneration, are no credit to the Postmaster- f`_,-_.__I Arthur Zimmerman, who was ta- ken from Hamilton to Brooklyn in custody, was placed on trial in the latter city on charges of bigamy and perjury.

Mea.-I ' ford thus far seemed unableato- un- track themselves, but presently took` -a spurt and notched their rstuby. 3..., quick rush. . The visitors defence. went rocky at this stage, and F_.oy-_. ston broke through for -Ba'rr1,e sj fourth tally. Considering the` wet- and sticky condition of the ice the play was wonderfully fast. ThesDy-- ment outt again brought joy _ to their supporters, Sib Rowe nding the net on a long shot. There were numerous offsides, but the hockey was clean. A-fusilade on the Mea- ford goal gave Moore an opportun- ity to stop a few,_ but Barrie kept pegging away. R. eHorseld and Rowe each adorned the fence in turn. Meaford, however, were unable to" gain anything by having the extra man. With both teams playing. their full complement, Barrie made a de- termined attack, Meeking-sending in a sizzler to which Foyston admin-_ `istered the coup-de-grace. Score: 6-1. This long lead apparently had a relaxing effect upon the colts, and some careless work on their part gave Meaford their second goal.` En- couraged, the lake port boys came strongly and soon annexed another. The temporary, reverse stimulated the homesters, and Leroux by a beautiful side shot put them four to the good. Owing to the soft ice, the players repeatedly over-ran thepuck, and accurate passing became diicult. Brown now showed his mettle by stopping a coupleof daisies, but the rubber did not remain long,in Barrie territory. Just before half time. Foy- ston made it 8 to 3 by a lightning stroke. ` UV 1 us uuacul. 5| Gut, Jludu Show .. Government grant, Fall 1 Gate receipts . . . . . :. . . . . L.'on`cert receipts . . . . . . . .

Horses of the last class have the highest value in the western provinces-- namely, $187 in Manitoba, $180 in Saskatchewan, $165 in British Colum- bia, and $150 in Alberta.
