Onrrtranv.-Mr. Andrew Bay, the no-
tice of whose death appears elsewhere,
was one of the most able and experienced
civil engineers and surveyors of this Pro-
vince. He Was born in Kelso, Scotland,
and studied in Edinburgh. After acquir-
ing a thorough knowledge of his profes-
sion, he was for some years engaged on
important public works both in England
and in Scotland. In 1851 he emigrated
with his family to Canada. He resided
for three years in Toronto, where he was
employed in the earlier surveys for the
Northernilway. He then removed to
business wit the late Samuel Peters, the
Iti
London, an was for a time connected ill
well-known civil engineer. In 1857 he
came to this county, and was almoat im-
mediately appointed to the office of County.
Surveyor. This responsible and laborious
Office he held for the „long term of twenty-
two years, being annually re -appointed
by the County Council, as a matter of'
course. His ability, carefulness, and
fidelity in the performance of the duties
of his office were recognized by all. For
several years, both Huron and Bruce were
under his charge, and the labor involved
in superintending the roads, bridges, and
other public, works of these extensive
counties was very great. In this duty
Mr. By was indefatigable; he shrank
from no toil or exposure, and was con-
stantly onthe road, visitibg the various
points at which his presence was required.
Our splendid ,system of gravel roads was
carried out entirely under his superin-
tendence, and it is mainly to his skill 'and
'diligence' that the. county of Huron is in-
debted for the best comnaunications of
that .description in the Province. Owing
to increa-sing infirmities Mr. Bay retired
from public duty about three years before
bis death. Though reserved in manner,
he was a man of kind disposition and
-feeling beat. His probity was, unques-
tioned. No marl in any'public capacity
was more entirely trusted. In all private
relations he .was wholly unselfish, cheer-
fullydevoting all his time and means to
the benefit of those who were dependent
on, him. He WAS 'a sincere Christian,.
both. in profession and in practice. " He
leaves the record of a useful and well -
spent life as a consolation to his family
and his.friends for`their great los'.

•OnDrE14,owsmr.-The anniversary of
this order (to which we briefly referred
last week) on Wednesday 'evening last
was a great success, , By a speeirti train,
the Goderich lodge arrived at 8 o'clock,
-and were met by the brethren of the Clin-
ton -lodge in regalia, at the station, and
(together, marched to the hall. Ilere the
beautiful ceremony prepared by theGrand
Lodge was carried out, Bro. Thos. White
acting as Noble Grand, Bro. Fred John-
ston as Vice Grand, and Bro. Manning aS
Chaplain. Afterwards interesting and
appropriate speeches were made by Rev.
J. Gray, and Messrs, F. Johnston, J. P.
Altittib, Billar-nd others. Mr. Gray wag
particularly happy in. his remarks, and
gave the Brethren assembled some very
excellent advice. --The otherspeaker be-
ing Oddfellows of 'course spoke More par-
ticularly upon the order. A choir under
the leadership ofMrs. Newton, who pre-
sided at the organ, discourseirsweet music
ab intervals, and added greatly to the
evening's pleasure.' After i the close of
this meeting the visiting brethren were
given a luncheon at McLaren'sHotel,and
afterwards escorted -to -the -train.
In its lengthened reference to the an-
niversary observedhere last Wednesday
evening, the Goderich Star says :-After
music' y the choir, which was well ren-
dered;.)Irs. Newton presiding at the organ,
the N. G. called upon the Rev. Mr. Gray,
OUClinton, who made an excellent address.
Bro. Johnston having, been called upon
addressed the meeting on Odd -Fellowship
and its teachings, and ate usual made a
very favorable impression on the audience.
Mr. .1. P. Martin having been called upon
made a humorous speech, and Bro. Ball
also made it few remarks, which were well,
received. After the choir had favored
those present with seine excellent music,,
Bro. A. H. Manning addressed the meet-
ing, and his remarks were well received;
his delivery was easy and language per-
fect; we expect a bright future for him.
Mrs. Newton received the thanks of the
whole meeting for the ,able manner in
which the musical part nff_t_lae programme
was rendered, and we hope to see her at
some of our•musical.„ gatherings at Gode-
rich before long. After the conclusion of
the entertainment the Goderich brethren
Were entertained at a supper gotten up by
Bro. P. McLaren, in his usual good style.
,
All were pleased with the entertainment..
Says the News .-The Odc1f41.10ws-13.1ow-
