Fultev- particulars wi'.l be given next meek. The Dnrham Cement Company lost ten thousand dollars on last year's business. The annual meeting was held in Toronto last wrek, whea the following fi^urts were given out. The total re- ceipts were f271 697.32, Includin,; •• a»ock OD hand of 37,830. The li«biliti«n are fl$lCl,&ril,gl, and the aaaels $86, 9SiH7>& 'ess, leaving a net loss in capital aecount. This is rather in the nature of a dampeneron the stockholders. It is said thst the young ladies of the town have .formed a Lcsp Year Club. We bare not jieen a copy of lb* bylaws tut are informed . that..'thai*im,pf lihq club is to secure husbands* during the present year. The idea is, we believe, to IMkSS the young men around, each girl to propose in turn and. thus tire out the victim until he can no longer refaw. Any girl left single at thesivi<^.lhe yuer must pay a heavyforfeit.

Deer Meat is Dear Two very iuteresting cases were heard before Msgistrate VanDuscn on Friday afternoon list, when the town ball was filled with a ''large antJ appreciative audience," to use a threadbare expression. It was like nomination day. On the platform sat the magistrate. At his right sat Mr. John Weber ; on the left, Mr. McArdle of Markdalc, counsel for the defense ; iu the rear, the man wbo says mechanically, "oyea, oyez." The cause of all this excitement was a couple of charges brought by the prosecuting at- torney in l;is capacity of game warden The lirst case was against Mr. Jasper Stuart of Kimberley, who waa obargeil witb having deer meat in his pobsession ID the close season and allowing his dogs to run at larg^ in a place frequented by deer. Mr. Stuart was driving along the road one moruing this winter, about half a mile north of Kimberley, when his dogs discovered a srmU deer near the road and gave chase. Mr. Stuart did bis best to recall the dogs but waa unable to do so. The animals raa the deer down in deep snow andJtiUed it. The carcas wasgiven i^wayM charity. The charge of having venison in his poesestion fell through, but the owner of the dogs was fined t20 and costs lor allowing them to run at large where deer harbor. Residents of Kim- berley say it is stretching it, to say the least, tu claim that deer harbor in the vicinity where thia'one was started, and that it should be prohibited ground for dcgs to run at large. It was Mr. Stuart's misfortune to strike a snag that has never been hit before in the past fifteen years, and is not likely to be in future. The second charge was against Wallace Graham and Herman Smith of the third line, Euphrasia, for hunting, killing and having iu their possession venison during the prohibited season. It; appears that a deer which bad been chased by dogs came past their place. They followed on its trail and found it, as they claim, dead. Of course they took possession uf the carcas and this laid them open to the law. Mr. Graham was fined $20 and costs, the young man Smith was let off. The cost iu both these cases would bring the amouls uup to about $40 for each. Obituary William Lockbart, one of the pioneers of this section of country, died at his home, Broton Station, on Sunday la8t,at the good old age of 83 years and three months. The deceased gentleman' was born in Ireland, and came to this country with his wife and child about 45 years ago. For a few years he lived at Brad- ford, and forty years ago took up a farm at what is no'ir Proton Station where he lived until his desth. His wife predeceased him about three years ago. At the time of hi* locating at Proton there were no roads here with the exception of the Toronto and Sydenham line, and Mr. Lock hart underwent all the hardships of a pionerr. For fifty years, he has bee»!» member of the Baptist church. Ok! age may be said to have been the causa of death. For the past 4 months he had been confined to his hud. De- ceased leaves behind him a lar|{e family of ten children, aa , follows : Thom^ts Lockbart, Dundalk ; James, on the homestead, Proton Station ; George, Rainy River; Mrs. Quinn, Proton ; Mrs. Thomas Whitten,.^rtein«sia ; Mrs.Edward Whitten, Flesherton ; Mrs. Maxwell, near Dundalk ; Mrs. Charles Lyons, Proton SQition ; Mw. Ja». H<ll. -Vrto mesia, near Markdale ; andi Mrs. John Lyons, Portlaw. The funeral took place to Flesherton cemetery ou Tueed»y,-jmd was largely attended.

It made the cure of a case of Piles that was considered hopeless. The r.ews spread and although this was only two years ago the demand prompted Dr. J. S. Leonhart of Lincoln Neb., the discoverer, to prepare it for general use. Now it is being sent to all parts of the world. It will cure any case of Piles. There is a months treatment in each box.

It is for sale by druggists. m »tm * *m Messrs, Ovila Bourdesu and Louis Menard have been unseated as council- lors of the township of Rus«el, by the judgement of Mr. Justice Briiton, given out at Osgood Hall. Messrs. Bburrleau and Menard had been declared ePected by the Township Clerk despite a larger number of votes having heeir pollod in favor of two other candidates, Mesbrs. Argue and Cheny. The Clerk made this declaration on the strength of documents executed by Argue and Cheney, purportitig to be resiznations. Mr. Justice Street holds that the docu- ments intended aa resignations were filed ton late to be effective, and made an order seating Argue and Cheney in the place of Bonrdoau and Menard.
