The Vorestets' annual concert, held
in the town hall on Tuesday last, was
unquestionably the best ever given in
this p'ac',—so the, people say, and we
can readily credit the statement,. ,for
it would be a difficult tesx to have an
tot complete and gates•
factory in every particular.. Its sac.
Cess is hue another triumph for Tees -
water Court, whose reputation for good
entertainments has been long estab,
lislled. The Canadian Order of
Foresters throughout the country aim
at giving excellent 'treats --literary,
musical, or social or ell combined, to
the communities in which they are
established, and we are pleased to
note that Teeswater Court is not
found wanting in this particular.
The platform presented a strong array
of High Court officers, in the persons
of Bra, Tbns. White, H. S. ; Bro. R.
Elliott, P, H C R, and 13ro. J; Neel -
ands, IL 't Tiro. Elliott occupied the
chair and fulfilled the duties of this
position in the most genial manner.

OnlTUARY.—It-is our melanoholy
duty to have to chronicle the death
of Maggie M., second eldest daughter
of ,Finlay and Julia Anderson, on
Monday evening, Feb, 17th. She
had been unwell over five years front
organic disease of the heart, result•
ing from inflammatory rheumatism,
but about two weeks ago she became
a victim to that a !!:•prevailing disease,
"La Grippe," which proved too much
for her already weakened constitution.
It seems especially sad that she should
be out off just as she was blooming
into young womanhood, .when life
presented Itself to her in its most
pleasing aspect, arid the future 'bolted
bright ahead, but such is ilea Divine
ruling, a►id though the blow is a
severe one, yet we cannot but acknow-
ledge the wisdom of Him who istoo
wise to err and too good to be unkind.
The deceased was an estimable
young lady of a very cheerful ana
happy disposition, living in nature
and loved by all who knew her, arid
though she must have suffered a great I
deal during the past few years, yet
she was very patient through it all,
uttering no word of complaint and
during the last few days, when the
awful truth impressed'itself upon Iter
that she could not live, she cheerfully
resigned to the Divine will, and by
kind words of advice and encourage-
ment to her parents, brothers and
sisters, witnessed her preparation for
the final call. The funeral ou Wed.
nesday was largely attended, there
being about 100 teama in line, repre•
senting friends front far and near,
showing the esteem in which the
deceased was held, as welt as express-
ing sympathy for'the breaved family.
A precious one from, us. has gone,
A voioe we lowed is stilled,
A place is vacant in our hptne,
Which never -can be filled.
God in his wisdom has recalled
The boon Ms love had. given,
And though the body, moulders here,
The soul is safe in Efeaveu.
