The boys turned out and •caught him in Culross township after a three days hunt. He weighed over 300 pounds. Disgraceful Conduct , The disorderly conduct of a number of yeung men and boys in the Temper- ance hall at the concert oil Friday evening last, was a disgrace to the village. The constable should, attend • all these public meeting and entertain- ments and promptly run to the lock- up a few of ' these would-be smart •young men who have not sufficent sense or common decency to behave themselves in public.

Lucknow. • • Death of a pioneer Died, at his residence,. On the 5th • Con.of Huron, Mr. Thomas McDonald, aged sixty one )rears. Mr. •McDanald -was born in Sorn Parish, Ayrshire, • Scotland in 1830. He emigrated to Canada in 1853 and. for two,- years resided in the Township. of Ancaster. • In 1855 he removed to Huron Town- ship and took the land on which he resided until the time of his death which occtirred on the 3rd inst. Mr. McDonald's skill and industry as a farmer are manifest from the cOndition of his farm which he leaves to his children:and which at the time .of his coining to Huron was an unbroken forest.. By his untiringt energy he 'has been enabled to leave his family •. in comfortable ciremnstances. He, was a man of agreeable disposition and temperate habits, respected by ,all witlwhom he came in contact and will be greatly iniss.;-sd by his many friends. In 1849 he became a member of the Presbyterian church and has ever since lived a life consist- ent with his profession. At the time of his death he wris a member of Huron -Church, Ripley, of which Rov. A. F. MeQueen is pastor. His death was caused hy liemorrhaffe of the lungs from attacks of which he has suffered frequently during the past two years. His remains vere interred in the Rinloss-Cemetery to which they we,r,e followed by • a large number of sympathizing friends, He leaves behind him a wife and five childrem —The Huh gribeerty is the place to buy choice teas and coffees. —J.

Policy holders in the Ontario Mutual have received the following notice :—" The Directors of the Ontario Mutual Fire Insurance Company instruct me to inform you that the company's finan- cial position is such that its business has to be discontinued and its affairs wound up, and its, license has been cancelled. Greate Syngynge Meetynge The above is the quaint title given to the entertainment to be given by the members of the choir of the Metho- dist church on Thursday evening next, 17th of March, and, if the en- tertainment is as novel Ord interesting as the bills, it certainly will be a big treat to all who many attend. Against Punishment. • The Owen Sound Boardof Education has passed a resolution strongly con- • demning corporal punishment in the schools, except in extreme cases of wilful misconduct, and a copy of the resolution will be sent to every teacher employed by the board. The teacher who is continualy thrashing or scolding the pupils is not the best disciplinarian. Mrs. Armstrong's Concert A very good audience greeted Mrs. Armstrong at her concert in the Teraperance hall on Friday evening last, and as usual the programme rendered was an excellent one. It contained thirty-six different pieces and the clever manner in which the little folk and all others acquitted •themselves was a great credit to Mrs. Armstrong and her ability asa teacher. We have not the -space to particularize but suIee it to say all did remarkably well and the audience went home fully satisfied with the evening's entertain- ment. The chair was occupied by the Reeve. - Patron's Lecture • Mr. Wm. Nisbet, the grand lecturer of the Patrons of Industry, for the Province, delivered an interesting • address on the objects and' aims of the order in the Town Hall here, on • Thursday evening last to a fair size audience. Mr. Nisbet is a nice speaker and handled the different subjects well. He strongly denounced the combines and' different trusts that had been started to extort • money from the farmers and labouring classes for the benefit of the monopolists. He said the great principal object of the society was to unite the farmens together for their own -protection, and already. the effects of their united efforts ,cwe ,being felt in the legik lation of Re country. The chair was very ably and "well filled" by Mr. Peter Corrigan, of Holyrood, and short and practical speeches were also given by Messrs. Wm. Valens, James Gaunt, Jr. J. H., Gardner, and Peter. McKenzie. Orange Blossoms. A pleasing event took place at the residence Of e)Mr. Gillies, of this village, on Monday evening last. The parties chiefly interested were miss Annie Mc- Kinnon, who has so long and faithful • performed the duties of assistant to the postmaster of Teeswater, ,and Mr. A. Johnston, of Oak Lake, Manitoba. The ceremony of marriage was preform- ed at 8 o'clock. by the Rev. J. Malcolm. The bride looked charming in her attire of cream cashmere. Miss Lottie Watson, the bridesmaid,, was becom- ingly dressed in the same material. Mr. Harry McKinnon, of Lucknow, acted as groomsman. The remainder of the evening was spent as usual on -such festive occasions. Tire bride was the recipient of many handsome presents. On Tuesday a4erno,on a large number of friends assembled at the station to see the newly wedded pair start for their future- home in the "Prairie Province." It was amid .a shower of rice that they boarded the train and soon after the explosion of - fog signals told chat they were on their way.
