Elliott Richmond, now a student at the
Clinton. Model School, has been engaged
to teach at Marnoch for 1887; his course,
so far, has been exceptionally bright, and
we hazzard nothing when we say the peo-
ple of Marnoch will not be disappointed.
A muddy stretch of reed on the 3rd con.,
has been greatly improved by the work
put on at a "bee." A: number of farmers
have lost several valuable cattle recently.
Mr, Geo. McGowan and wife were on A

accident lately; when jumping from a
haystack, the handle of an axe penetrated
his thigh, inflieting an ugly wound. • Mr.
E. Walsh has sold'hie farm of 100 acres to
a Mr. Radford, possession to be given
shortly; Mr. W. has made a deal of money
since his coming to Wawanosh,.and is one
of the intelligent men of township; we
are sorry to lose him, Messrs. John
Blackbrough jr, and Jas. Quinn have

TEMPERANCE MEETING. -The' third
meeting in connection with the Colborne
Branch of the Scott Act Association, was
held here on Tuesday of last week, and
was very well attended:. There were not
as many speakers present as were expected,
some having been called away to fill other
engagements; others tor an unknown

gip was filled, however, very successfully
by a short programme of singing; reading
and recitations. Rey. Mr. •ItoWsem then

ACCIDENT,-Mhile Mr, and ltits. Kelly
of the 7th OM of Morris, were returning
home from Blyth fair last Friday evening,
they met with an accident which might
have proved fatal, as they 'are both ad-

near the corner at which they turned into
Morris, being somewhat anxious to get
home, turned. too quickly and they both

Irtasgse.----Som-e tide ago the wife of
Mr. D. hIcMurchy, of this township, had
a cancer removed from her breast, as it
was gradually extending its way into her
system, and it was thought that removal
would bring relief. It did, but we are
sorry to say only for a short time, as the
presence of it, "(or rather its tendrils)! has
again become manifest in other parts of
her system, and she is suffering severely
from the effects. She is under skilful
medical treatment, by which, it is hoped,
the may be restored to health.
