As Mr. Thompson has been home for several- weeks-,---the-1 et ter -h-as---eviden tly been enjoying a trip on its own behalf. . ( , 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..
