DR. bPROULE ENDORSED. tlieir end through crime if virtue will not bring it. Let this incentive be destroyed by suppressing the stories of such deeds. The govcrmneiit at Ottawa arc still endeavoring to force through the ubuoxions remedial raeasnn , and last "veek witnessed the longest ccc sion of parliament on record in any country, which lusted from Monday morning until 12 p. in. Suturday. Monday saw the bill again before committee. The World professis to believe that the measure will be form ally abandoned as an iuipossibil'- ity this week. It will, at all events, never go through, thanks to persist- ent opposition by members wlio can- not bo bought. In this connection The Advance acknowledges with iliauks the many compliments it has received on the statd it has taken in support of Dr. Spronlo and against the measure before parliament. We have also received a resolution parsed by a public meeting of people of all sliades of politics, held at Maxwell, and have much pleasure in append- ing it. Tl.at nieetmg said that Dr. Bproulo's attiiuJo was satisfactory to DO per cent, of the people, and thu resolution spoke correctly.

Tenn., April 4, 'IKi. How a nisaionary Escaped Ocath by Freezing â€"The Horror ol The North. From a private letter just received by j one of our townsmen we cull the follow- ing naiTative, written by a missionary stationed in the Hudson Bay district, showing how life i.s held in one's hand in that great land of frost and snow : On my Xnia.s trip I had a terrible time in getting home. We had a terrible snow storm which blocked tho track complete- ly, then wo all got the cold. I was so hbr.rsethat I could not call to my dogs for two days. On the last day I got so anxious that I left the men just at day- light and went on ahead on snow shoes, I thought I could get home all right, about twenty miles. Tho storm got worse and worse, of course the track accordingly, I had taken nothing to e.it and no axe, which of cr)urse was very fooli.sh. When 1 got tired and hungry I tried to make a fire but my matches were all wet, so that was a failure. I had got so far ahead of tho dogs that I was afraid to wait till they would come up lent I should perish with the cold, so though tired and faint with hunger I pu.shud on. At List I c;imo out into a lake (hud been walking through woods and muskeg) through which I had yet to go about eight miles before reach- ing the first hou.so. The snow here was very deep so I could hardly pnll my snow shoes along. It was now coming on dark and I believed the men had already made camp ffJT the night, thinkuig I had got through all right. I cannot tell you how many times I sank down in the snow, then I would get up and stagger on till I was half way across tho lake. Coming to a bit of thick woods I went and dug a hole in the snow and covered it up with boughs, but then the thought rtruck ine, " I will freeze if I attempt to stay here without fire or any covering, " and so I started off again. It was now dark and very cold and I was three miles from shelter. I believed that I had no poasiblo Ju>|)u of getting lioine and 1 began to look death in the f;;ce. My thought then dear â€" â€" , WiuH not of myself, it was of my de;ir wifo and mother. I went down on my knees in the snow and was able to jilaco myself, my life and loved ones in the hands of God '. () what a refuge in tho timu of stonii ! I nro.so strengthened and again attempted to stagger on. I had not gone far till I heanl a shout behind inc. Uod had answered my prayer even before I asked it. I stink down in the Kuow till the men eame up. They wrap- ped mo in a rabbit blanket and took niu on a sled. They wanted to make a tire but 1 said, " No : Let us get to the house." I couUl hartUy stand when wo got there, hut a few cups of tea and some- thing io eat, my man and 1 stjirtcd out with our dogs for home, three miles farther on. was waiting for me, thu lamp was in the window, though it was now midnight. I had eaten nothing from daylight till 8 o'eh>ck at night, and had walked' in all that day thirty miles. kept me in bed for two days, she was both doctor and nur.se and I had to obey. I hatl no idea of getting into such a trap when 1 left tho men, but onco there I had no way of getthig out. The men had no fish for their dogs or they would have made camp. Under I'rovi- denco that saved my life. I have had a lesson I will not soon forget. David McQuinn of Collirgwood ^van- dered from his home last Thursday and his body was found on thn lake shore on Saturday about a mile fiom his houiu, with his throat cut from oar to car. He suicided with a penknife. 8( CasA is Jiin^f A groat many farmers at the present tiino are at a l.'Ss to know lio* they are iioiiia to iimke the farniiiiif pay.
