BLUEVALE.
The village people were very
muci shocked and grieved when on
their way to church last Sabbath
morning to hear that Mrs. Robert
McPherson was dead. Not many
knew she was ill and some who did
were not aware that her condition
was dangerous. She was taken ill
on Wednesday of last week and suf-
fered great agony before her death
an Sunday morning. Mrs. Mc-
Pherson was forty-three years of age, '
a member of the Presbyterian church
and a resident of Bluevale for about
sixteen years. Tier maiden name
was Mary Jones, her father being a
Welshman. The funeral took place
on Monday afternoon and a large
number of friends gathered at it to
show their sympathy for her hus-
band and her only son, Mr. Joseph
McPherson, of Toronto, who was not
enabled to reach home while his
mother was alive. Mrs, McPherson
intended visiting her son in Toronto
about the first of June, and. death
coming so unexpectedly is very hard
indeed on those near and clear to the
deeeased lady, -Mr. Wm. Blanchard,
jr., of Turnberry, went to a bush a
short distance from his house, last
Thursday morning, and cliMbing
tree, fastened a rope to it and hang-
ed himself. The coroner examined
the body,but did not think an inquest
was necessary. Mr. Blanchard was
always of a melancholy and despon-
ding nature and is said to have been
temporarily insane when he com-
mitted suicide. Much pity is felt for
Mrs. Blanchard. -Miss Tine Sander-
son, of Toronto, formerly of this
place, is the guest of Mrs. and Misses
Diment.-Mrs. Wallwin and little
daughter, of Stratford, are visiting
friends in and around the village. -
Mr. Percy Widdows, of St. Thomas,:
and Mr. Seymour Widdows, arrived
here on Monday, but too late to
attend the funeral of their aunt, Mrs.
McPherson. -The Messrs. Jones, of
Walkerton, attended their sister's
funeral on Monday, also Mr. and
Mrs. Samuel Scott, of Manchester. -
Miss Annie Corbett, who has been a
resident • of our village for about
fourteen years, left here on Wednes-
day morning to visit • her brother in
Fergus. Miss Corbett will be missed
by her many friends, who are sorry
to know that she does not intend livz-
ing in Bluevale in the future. --A
fine lot of cattle was shipped from
here last week by Messrs. Scott and
Jones, of Listowel. The following
are the weights of the cattle shipped
by Turnberry farmers: John Black,
5 head, weighing 6,240 lbs; Samuel
Blank, 9 -head, weighing 11,550.113s;
King brothers, 10 head, weighing
13,460 lbs.; Isaac Wright, 5 bead,
weighing 7,530 lbs., 2 of which
weighed 3,360 lbs; Chas. Forrest, of
Morris, . shipped 3 head, weighing
4,060 lbs.; Thos. Miller, also of
Morris, i head, weighing 7,550 lbs.,

The Marnoch bridge across the
river Maitland, which has been in a
very shaky condition during the
last three years partly fell down on
Saturday night, but as there was no
person on it at the time, the loss will
not be much. The Connell has let
the job for a new'ene. There was a
load of lumber went across it about

wonder is that it did not Pn down

TURNBERRY.
We were in error last week in
saying that Mr. John Gemmill pur-
chased his celebrated Clydesdale
stallion "Dunstan Boy," from Mr. H.
Day, of Wingham. It was from Mr.
John Gentles, of Kincardine, that he
bought him. -As announced in last
issue, Mr. Wm. Blanshard, jr., of
the B. line, committed suicide on
Thursday. It appears that he arose
in the morning as usual, and did. his
chores and ate his breakfast. ,Shortly
after breakfast his wife happened to
pass the stable door, she saw the
horses were inside and unharnessed.
She caned. her hugband, but getting
no 'answer she became alarmed and
went for Mr. Yeo, a neighbor, who
was ploughing in a field close by,
and with his assistance went in
search of him, the dog following.
They had .not gone far when the dog
was seen to make quite a fuss, and
on going to the spot where he was,
day morning, aged 33 years. He
leaves a widow and one son and two
daughters. The funeral took place
to Clinton cemetery Wednesday
under the auspices of the Canadian
Order ,of Foresters, of which deceas-
ed was a, member. -Mr. James A.
Ford, who has so long and success-
fully conducted the butchering' busi-
ness in. Combe's block, has disposed
of the business to Messrs. A. Couch
and 0. Wilson and the new firm
have taken possession. -At a special
meetino-k, of the Town Council the fol-
lowing resolution was unanimously
carried :-That this council desires
to place upon record its deep sense of
the loss sustained by the community
in the removal by death of Mr.
Alexander McMurehie, for many
years Reeve of this municipality,
and to express its sincere apprecia-
tion of the many valuable services
rendered tO the town by hitn, both
as a member of the local council and
as one of the most prominent mem-
bers of the county council. To his
careful oversight and prudent
counsel is due very largely the
satisfactory eondition of the finances
of our town, and it is a melancholy
pleasure to the members of the
council to bear witness to the zeal
displayed by hint even when often
suffering severe bodily pain. A copy
of this resolution to be Sent to Mrs.
Melkfurchie.

There he Ming by the neck to a tree,.

thought that lie put an end to him-,

pressed over the damage his crop
has sustained during the late frosts.
Dr. Smale, Coronerof Wroxeter,
was called, but an inquest was not
considered necessary. He leaves a
wife and one child to mourn his loss
who have the sympathy of the com-
munity at large.
EAST WAWANOSH.
One by one the old pioneers of this
district are being called away to
join the silent majority. The last
one to be called was Mr. George Me -
Gowan, who departed this life on
Saturday night, filth instant, at the
age of 68 years. About seven years
ago deceased received a fall from, a
barn, injuring his back at the time,
from which he never fully recovered
and whieh was the principal cause of
his death. Mr. McGowan was born
in Esquesixig township, 'Talton
county. on May 6th, 1827, and in
1850 removed to East Wawanosh,
where lie, along With his brothers,
had taken up a block of land eon-
taining 1,000 acres. At that time
East Wawanosh was mostly bush,
but the brothers set to work with a
will and soon had hewn out for
themselves the magnificent farms
that are situated in what is known
as the McGowan settlement. In
1854 deceased married Miss Janet
Moore, Of the Scotch Bloek, Italton
