Crediton,
DEATH of HANNAH BANDS.—The past
few days has been fraught with sad
ness in Criiditoil and vicinity oyer
the sad death of Hannah, daughter of
Mr. William Banes, who crossed the
dark stream which separates us from
eternity. She had spenther life in
Crediton and by her sweet endearing
way had entwined herself with the
warm affections of all—old and young
—who knew her. Deceased has been
in failing health for some time caused
by the deathly powers of censuu7ption
and in spite of the medical assistance
and tender offerings of sympathiz-
ing friends she gradually sank until
Friday when she breathed her last, at
the age of 25 years, 9 months and 5
days. For some time past all hopes of
her recoy el y were given up, but her
buoyant spirits enabled her to resist the
ravages of the disease much longer
than was expected. A cheerful, toying
friend, kind and true as she was intel-
ligent. She leaves behind her the frag-
rance of a pure life. The funeral took
place on Sunday and was largely at-
tended. The R. T. of T., of which body
she was a valuable member, were pres-
ent. The bereaved parents have the
entire sympathy of the community.

Fowler, the architects, be retained to
supervise at 27 per cent., for which re
muneration one member of the firm is

how a sum of less than 5250 is to pay

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE REPORT,
1. In reference to the report of Com•
mittee re House of Refuge, recommend
that said report be carried out in fall.

srs. Griffin and Kennedy re engineer's

no action at present.

same be amended by fixing the amount
payable to Goderieh Collegiate Insti
tote at $2,373.72, Clinton $2,30088, Sea -

tender of J. Goldthorpe at $2 72 was

est, Samuel Bissett having offered to

'dors are called for and accepted, that
