Mr. Gardiner's death was no surprise to his family or friends, for he had been gradually fail- ing for some time. The high respect and esteem in which he was held was shown by the large concourse of friends present at the funeral services, John Gardiner was born at Kilearn, Scot land, May 8th, 1824. In 1849 he was married to Miss Margaret Gilfill.an, and immediately removed to America, sett ling in Buffalo, N. Y., but later in Can- ada, where he retrained 26 years, or until 1872, when he went co Iowa. Ten children were born to them. of whom five are dead. His first wife died in 1874, and he married again in 1884. He was a hard working, thrifty farmer, who knew the privations and disad- vantages of pioneer life. He was an earnest Christian and a member of the Presbyterian church. He served as ruling elder in three churches, Thames Road, Usborne, Canada, nearly 25 years; Unity Presbyterian church, Grundy county, lowa, and since April, 1889, in the Morrison church. In the seventies he had the great honor of be- ing a member of the First General As- sembly of the First Presbyterian church of Canada, after the union of four Pres- byterian bodies Mr. Gardiner was a brother of Mr. Robert Gardiner, sr, of Goderieh.

The farm contains 63 acres, is a good place, and has good buiidiugs on it. We consid- er that Mr. Taylor got it very cheaply and congratulate him ou his good bar- gain. We hope he may long live to enjoy the fruits of it. Brewster, June 25th, '94. MR,, EDITOR: I wish to express my sincere sympa- thy for Mr. Richard Jennison, who by his unfortunate circutrt$taueeS was compelled to make an assignment a short tin e ago, His is not au enviable position, neither was it a pleasant thing to be forced to sacrifice the little he had accumulated after eeveralyears of hard work. Things sold at a very low ebb indeed. In feet it was really a disgrace to the many independ- ent and moneyed Leighbors and sup posed friends of Mn Jennison. They certainly could not be friends to stand by and allow things to be slaughtered in the way they were, But that is the way of the world, when a man is down, keep him there. This I would like to ask: Where were the Independ ent Order of Foresters t,of which body, I am iuf;,rmed, he is a member) at lilt time? They surely did not lose sight of the fact that here was a duty for them.to perform, and thus protect a brother who was really iu a distressed circumstance. There was surely no brotherly loge existing there Here was a chance of practicing a deed of charity, a virtue which they profess to admire, but did they do it? No! I would say to those'so called brethren— doff that mantle of superficial brother- hood and clothe yourselves in the true principles which at all times should characterize every true Forester. Talk no more about your brotherly loye! Laud worth $10 an acre to sell at about $20. Thanking you, Mr. Editor, I am yours. A LOVER of PRINCIPLE., Miss E. Taylor, of Mitchell, is visit- ing herghrothers and sister in these parts - -Owing to your correspondent being absent from home hest week some of the news which shoted have appeared in last week issue wil appear iu this.—Mr. W.

Jacohie, of Blanchard, visitedhis home ou Suttees.- last.—A young man from the vicinity of the Grand Eend is fre- quently sten wending his way north- ward. Must be some attraction, Will! Mr. S. Ross, of Port Huron, Mich., for- merly of this place, was in these parts on business a few days ago. A straw- berry festival will be held in Taylor's grove on Friday evening June 29th in the interests of the Sauble Line Church of England Sabbath School. Proceeds to go towards buying a new library.—On Monday of lest week your correspondent took a trip in a row boat from Lake Valley Grove a new summer resort about five miles south of Kettle Point on the shores of Lake Huron. It is a most beautiful place owned by Mr. C. Gustin, who is a geni al kind hearted gentlemen. I arrived at Lake Valley Grove about 9 o'clock on Sunday evening and after making myself known to the host and hostess was made heartily welcome. After spending the night at the beautiful residence of Mr. and Mrs. Gustin and partaking of a hearty breakfast I started with my boat at 7.30 o'clock and xounded Kettle Point without making a landing thence to Stoney Point where I landed for a few minutes at Mr. McLeans fishery,which is run by Mr. Geo. Smith. I then started for Port Frank where 1 landed for dinner,falling in with a few jolly, good hearted camp- ers (or rather boarders) where I spent a pleasant hour and a.half. Leaving Pt. Frank at 1.30 and rowing along the shore, making an occasional landing to investigate a curious plant or tree growing near the shore, arrived at Mrs. Gill's fishery, conductrd by Mr. J. Welsh, at about 4.50 in the afternoon, where I stopped for tea, leaving there at a few minutes after six, being ac- companied as far as Grand Bend by Mr. Welsh and Ms hired man. After putting thele ashore I proceeded on my homeward voyage, arriving thele. at eight o'clock. After a most pleasant rip, I might just say in conclusion, that parties wishing to Spend a few pleasant woks on the shores of Lake Huron and not finding it convenient to come to Grand Bend, cannot do better than go to. Lake Valley Grove, where, I can assure them, they will be made most heartily welcoine by Mr. Gustin and his charriug wife —The Ourts brother's find it more convenient since the 16th inst., as they are now at lib- erty to cross through the farm immed- iately opposite them when they wish to go to the lake, as it has been for a while previous to that date they had been compelled to go either to the farm north or south.—Mr F. O'Brien, who has been on a trip to. Algoma, has re- turned home, Ile reports having had a pleasant trip, but says that ho does not think much of the country in the parts he was, as all of the best land is taken up, leaving nothing but rocks and mountains in the parts yet to be taken,—Mr. R. Jennison was away from here for a couple of day • last John Certs, did not circulate a • report that he had skipped the country. Won- der what was the reason ?—On Satur day evening Last as Mr. Amel Hend- ricks was breaking in a colt the ani- mal became frightened and ran away, but fortunately no serious damage was done.

Perfect health is seldom, for impure blood is so general. Hood's Sarsaparilla really does purify the blood and re- stores health. Kippen: On Friday morning during the storm lightning struck Mr James McLean's house, knocking off the chim- neyand damaging the upper storey to a considerable extent. Fortunately, although the family were all in the house at the time, no one was injured. Chiselhurst: Michael Keefe's farm which was advertised to be sold by auction in this village, on June 15th, was not sold, because the highest bid did not come near Mr. Keefe's price. The farm is a good one, and we under- stand, Mr. Keefe holds the price at $5.500, Brucefield: Miss Anna Ross,daughter of the late Rev. John Ross, Brucefield, has won the gold medal at Coligny Col- lege, Ottawa, Miss Ross also won the special prize in Botany. We believe this is the second one of the same fam- ily who has attained to similiar honor at the same school. Clinton: We are sorry to announce the death of Miss Alice Howson, which occurred on Saturday evening; she suffered from grip, which developed into consumption; she was an estima• ble young woman and had been a member of the household of Mrs, T. Rance for. over 16 years. East Wawanosh: A well-known resi- dent of East Wawanosh` last season marked his sheep with his sheep with his initials P. P., after shearing them, he was joked about the letters stand- ing for "parish priest;" so this year he he put .A. after the other two letters making than P. P. A. sheep. Goderieh: CAUGuT AT LAST —Tho man who stole a horse and rig from Adam Hays' livery in Seaforth last October, was caught the other day in Durham, where he had been trying to dispose of another outfit which he had appropriated, being the third so far as known, the second being taken from Gravenhurst and the, last one from Sarnia. He gave his name as Robert Wilson, but had several aliases, and is evidently a confirmed thief and a tough looking case. He was brought before Judge Toms on Monday and found guilty, and yesterday he was sentenced to one year and 11 months in the Central Prison. Mr. Hays' horse was found in Maskoka, but the rig 15 week, but his perp good friend, Mr. still missing. Clinton: The little daughter of Mr. Will 14lennell, while playing on Tues- day, fell and broke her collar -bone. The forty second annual session of the grand lodge of Canada, Independ- ent Order of Good Templars, opened •in Paris, One, Wednesday, with about 80 delegates. Mitchell: We regret to ' learn that our late toemsman, Mr, Henry Hui- burt, who started a knitting factory some few months ago at Toronto Junc- tion, has made an assignment. Bayfield: On Tuesday morning a Government engineer was onhand and made a thorough inspection of our her bur. He made out a very fayorable report, and now, for results. We hope tg see work soots begun, Mitchell: There was buried in Trinity church cemetry on Sunday last one of Hibbert's oldest and most respected settlers, Richard Green, for- merly of the 3rd. concession. He died on Friday at the residence of his daurh ter, Mrs. John Oldfield, of Tuckersmith, with whom he had been stopping of late. Usborne: Mr. Thomas Cudmore, of this township, harvested about three acres of rye on the 7th of June. It was a good sample, and the straw averaged 5 feet in length. He now has the ground plowed up and again sowed with roots. This we think is the first harvesting of the season in the country. Brussels: A correspondent writes: "I have two cows, one of which has been milking since the 20th last Au- gust, and the other came in, in April. In 31 days we obtained 1,288 pounds of mil : from the latter. The former's yield of milk has not been weighed,but from the two we have had 71 pounds of butter in 31 days." Clinton: A telegram was received Wednesday evening, stating that Mr. W. Cole, of Chattanouga, Tenn., was dangerously ill with typhoid fever, and relatives were arranging to go down yesterday, when a telegram was re- ceiyed at about 10 o'clock the same day, announcing Mr. Cole's death. He was a natiye of Clinton and for a long time connei:ted with the Salt Associa- tion staff. He was an amiable young man, and had only been in Tennessee for a little over a year, during which time he had gained the confidence and esteem of all with whom he came in contact. Blyth: Last week was rather an eventful one among the boys. On Thursday W. Taman sprained his ank- le slightly. On Friday while leading a horse with a rope attached, Toni Hig- ley had one of his fingers badly in- jured, the horse jumped snddenly, tearing the flesh. The same day Will Belfrey, while playing ball, had his thumb dislocated, the bone protruding through the flesh. E. Moser, on the same day, was the victim of a horses's pranks, receiving a severe kick in the chest, but, although battered, we are glad to say the boys are all well on the mend. Mr. Powell is able to he around after the accident with the aid of a cane. Brussels: Georgie, the little son .a D. 0, Ross, came nearly losing his llifes last Saturday by partaking very freely of worm candies. He was playing with a box containing said candies with tic expectation of him investing the cc* tents. A rhysician and an emetic. .sost things right. Mitchell: On Saturday evening last the town was lighted, for the first these with the new incandescent system. It was surprising how things went off Be well. There was not the slighteet hitch, and everything went off mac factory. The light is very clear, and much stronger than the old system. Varna: Mr. John Sparrow, our fa- mous horse dealer, is also devoting some little attention to the raising el poulty, as horse flesh is not so remuner- ative emunerative as it used to be. With his usutr1 enterprise, as he is a man that wants to keep abreast of the times, he can- ceived the idea chat he would make hit turkey gobbler work for his liying, and finding' a nest of duck eggs that a Then had deserted,he gave them to the gobb- ler to hatch out. His gobblership wee successful in hatching out a nice flock of ycung ducks. Berlin: "Mr. David S. Brown, see of Mr. C. S. Browny was on Friday 'ire• sented with $1,000 in gold ou his reacv.- ing his 21st birthday. This is the see• and son of Mr. Brown's that has receive- ed eceiveed such a magnificent gift. David, as well as his brother, have reached their manhood without tastipg any spirit nous liquors and without haying used, tobacco in any form. Mr. Brown mixt be congratulated on having sons ,df this kind. Not every father can af'forh to give his sons a thousand, but It • should be the duty of every father to try and have his sons grow up in this manner, and no doubt but what the sons would be well pleased in after years. Kincardine: Interest in the case di Angus 'Matheson who mysteriously die. appeared from Ripley last November, has been revived by the arrest of S. E. Laird, a well-known known resident of Kincardine, on a charge of murder. The warrant was issued by Magistrate Barker upon information sworn to by Dan Matheson, brother of the missing man, Laird appeared before the mag- istrate and was 1:emanded till the 27the bail in $1,000 being accepted. No evi- dence was taken. Laird takes his ar• rest cooly, figuring on getting back at somebody for damages. As far as is known the arrest was made on account of Laird when in Lncknow on Mas 24, with some friends, making a 64mina- ting statement in a jocular manner. Kincardine plople ridicule the idea cf Laird being implicated in the alleged crime in any way. ax a ltTalw. Woodstock: A peculiarly sad death occurred during Wednesday night at 16 Oxford street, Woodstock, when Jas. D. McLeod passed away as a result, it is supposed, of a violent attack of he morrhage of the lungs. For some two years past Mr. McLeod has been its fail- ing health, but his condition was not such as to arouse any uneasy suspic ions in the minds of his wife and family He had evidently beet: attacked with a fit of coughing and vomiting during the night, and in his restlessness fell out of bed, as the body was lying on the floor with his face downward, with only the feet resting on the side of the bed under the coverlets. The deceased was 39 years of age. and a cooper by trade, having last fall worked for Mr. Craig. He was born in Woodstock,but has also for some years resided in Sea - forth, Strathroy, Ailsa Craig and Til- sonburg. Mr. McLeod leaves a wife and family of six children—the eldest a young man in the employ of Mr. Pett baker, and the youngest, four years old. Deceased was a man of steady, industrious habits, held in high esteem by his fellow employes St. Marys: A dastardly attempt was made Tuesday night to burn the store of Mr. John Ready, boot and shoe deal- er, Queen street, which fortunately, owing to prompt action, proved futile. The blaze was first seen by George, son of Mr, Geo. Ross, who was passing the store shortly after 10 o'clock. I3e immediately gave the alarm and sever- al person's, attracted to the spot, suc- ceeded in effecting. an entrance to the store by bursting• open the front door and smothering the flames Subsequent discovery disclosed the fact that tee miscreant or miscreants had attempted to gain an entrance by the back door by boring the look, Failing' in this, the side window was next attacked and a pane of glass broken and the catch undone. The iron bars inside were pried apart so as to allow the body of an average size man to pass through. A number of eases and the floor around, were saturated with ['coal oil, whieh had been ignited. It was a clear case of attempted incendiarism and only prompt action averted what might have been a serious conflagration The council will, no doubt,offer a liber al reward for the detection of the cul- prige PAGE. --.In Exeter, on June 17th, the wife of Mr. Wm.
