Halliday had the misfortune to cut her thumb while us- ing a carving knife, one day recently, and has been somewhat single handed ever since. ,Brucefield: . Mrs. Kennard and her daughter Maria are both lying very low. The sympathy of the entire com- munity goes to Mr. Kennard in this his hour of deep affliction. Seaforth: Mr. David Dorrance has sold his farm on the Roxboro road, near here, to Mr. Thos. German for $3,000. This is a'gool: farm and nicely situated. Mr. German takes possession on April 1st. Clandeboye: Mr. T. . Dauncey is bus- ily engaged getting brick and mater- ial in general for his new bank barn. Mr. Dauncey had bis barns destroyed last Selitember being struck by light- fllg. Mitchell: Henry Vock has- made an assignment of his furniture factory` to Wm, Ryan. It is estimated that, the liabilities will amount to about $6,000. Wm. Vock, of Logan, hasalso assigned to Mr, Ryan. Clinton Mrs, Elizabeth Forbes; wife of'the late John Forbes, died at the residence of her daughter, Mrs: Taylor, in town, on Thursday, just one day before the anniversary of het 91st birthday, Goderich A few days ago Robt. A. Morton, well known in connection with the business office of the Signal for some years past, met with a serious ac- cident by a fall in the: composing room, by which he was knocked unconscious, his chin havingcome in contact with the hardwood floor, Doctors in Roeiw.00d asylum, l�fngs ton, held a post mortem on a patient who died of consumption. A darning needle was found, stuck through her liver, and a needle one and one quarter inches long was embedded in her heart She had lived with the foreign matter through them for some time. Parkhill: .The ease of Mrs. 1Vm. Mackenzie to recover $10;000 damages from the Grand Tr11nk railway was concluded at the Assizes on Tuesday, mid resulted in a neu•s-uit. Mrs. Mac kenziN's husband was run over by a train while he was walking an the track on Feb. 8th, 1895. The judge ruled that no evidence of negligence on the part of the defendants had been shown. Brussels: Thursday afternoon of last week Arthur McGuire was work- ing at a machine in Ament Bros. factory, when the sieeve of his shirt caught in the machine and quick, as a flash a deep and ugly gash was in flitted on his right arm A physician was proneptly called and dressed the wounded member and Mr. McGuire is getting along as well as could be ex- pected. Parkhill: One day last week Mr. P. Walker an employe in the flax mill here, had his hand caught in the cog wheels of some of the machinery at the mill, and narrowly escaped losing his hand. Through the timely action of the engive'er in stopping the machinery his injuries were not severe. It was at first thought his little finger would have to be amputated, but luckily it will be saved. Egmondville: Another of our pio- neers residents has passed to his re- ward in the parson of Mr. Joseph Collie, whose death occurred at his home here on Wednesday the 15th inst., after an illness and confinement to the house of about two weeks. Deceased, who had reached the age of 73 years, was a native of Scotland and came to this country in its early stages. He was one of nature's nobleman and lived a conscientious Christian life, to which ail. who have come in contact with him through business relations or other wise can bear testimony. He leaves a grown up family, well provided for, to mourn his los3. The funeral took place on Friday last to the Egmondville. cemetery. Egmondi'Ille: Though we some- times hear of the death of a centenarian, it is rarely such occurs in our midst. There passed through Seaforth to Eg- mondville cemetery on Thursday of last weer: the funeral of Catherine Campbell, who was born in 1792, and'. who had thus reached the great age of 104 years. It is onTv by considering this age in the light of history we can realize what it means. The great re- public to the South was but nine years old when this woman was born; she was a young woman of 23 years when the battle of Waterloo was fought; the Indian mutiny, the rebellion of '37, and the Crimean war were events of her middle life; she bad seen the death of three British soverigns, and almost sixty years of the reign of the fourth. To few, indeed, are such years vouch- safed, But though of such an extreme age, her mind was as clear, and her sight and hearing as perfect as in her youth. She never knew what sick- ness was, nor the • taste of doctor's medicine. Clinton: Mr. William Higgins, one of the old residents of town, but for some time past visiting his son at Rat Portage, died very suddenly on Friday last. He had just bid his son good-bye, intending to come back to Clinton, and had reached the doorstep when he drop- ped and instantly expired. He was. 71 years, ordinarily in the best of health and bad not been complaining of any ailment. A cooper by trade, he work- ed here for quite a length of time, sub- sequently moving to Crediton, where he still owns property: He leaves a fami- ly of five boys and sig, girls; Mrs. Job Cooper, Clinton, and Mrs. J T. Currie of East Wawanosh, are his daughters; one resides in New York, and three in Toronto. He was a member of the Ontario Street Methodist church and a Reformer in politics As his wife's re- mains are interred here, his body was also brought here, and interred from the residence of his son-in-law Thurs day- Seaforth: The family of Mr. S Dick- son, post master, of this town, were awakened about two o'clock on Satur- day morning, by some person walking, around through the house. ' Mr. Dick- son got up as soon as possible, and came down stairs. This, no doubt, alarmed the intruder, for he 'made his exit in such haste that he knocked over sever- al chairs on his way out. Mr. Dickson got down just in time to see a man get- ting out of a back 'window. He follow ed after him, but could get no further trace of him. A subsequent examina- tion of the premises showed that the man got in by the window: in the din- ing room, which had not been fastened tllb previous evening, He had taken Mr. Dickson's overcoat from; where it had been hanging in the hall, and placed it on a chair near the open win- dow, where he could; get it easily on his way out, but he took his departure so humidly that he evidently forgot it, The rascal was, no doubt, in search of money, for he had ransacked' the side- board and several other places, and passed over some silver spoons and other valuable articles. Nothing was missed, Ellice Council has putt in a claim against Elate for over $4,000 for" share of law expenses by Ellis iu defending !; snits. Si. Marys: On Monday evening Mr. „ t; :cam. Treaty slipped on ,the sidewalk at the postoliice corner a'+d fell, break- ink' his hipjoint. This is rather n ,] T adth , an. unfortunate household, -is' Mi. Tracey'e' son is just convalescing: after a ten week's illness. Some six years ago Mr. Tracey fell from the armi''old and broke his. Lets and once previously a fall resulted in breaking both arms. Much sympathy is felt for him now. Parkhill: A very pleasant event touh place at the residence of Mr, Archie McPhee, Wednesday last, at 1 o'clock a. m., when his eldest daughte , Annie, was married to Mr Matth-sw Peat'son,, of Grand Maria, Mich, The o clueing minister was Rev. Mr. Mills, aster of the Methodist church. Quite a number of the friends of the bride were present at the wedding, and the presen s were numerous. handsome and app .opriate. Granton: Flossie Lankin rughter of Mr. John Larkin, of the Con' hal Ho- tel, met with a bad accident on ,' bra ay of last week. It seems a number "pf school children were piling on to a'\ sleigh she being seated in the front when a sudden movement of thehorses '-• threw her out and the front bob went �` over her ankle. No bones were broken but the injuries sustained are consider- ed just as serious and will confine her to the house for some time. Grand Bend: The first wedding in this neighborhood this year was teat of Mr. David Webb, eldest son of Dir. Geo. Webb, and Miss Maggie Masson. They were married on Wednesdav 15th Inst„ at 2 o'clock, by Rev. Mr. Carriers, at the residence of the bride's parents, where a great number of friends and neighbors were present. The presents were numerous and useful. The bride was dressed elegantly, and it is need- less to say that the bride looked fine. Their host of friends wish them a hap- py and prosperous journey through life, McKillop: Mr. John McDowell, of the 2nd con., son -in -saw of Mr. Angus McDermid,of the Huron road, while engaged around a grain crusher last Thursday, had the misfortune to lose the greater part of four fingers of his right band. - This makes three of the brightest and cleverest young farmers in this section who have been maimed for life while workiug with machinery in the past two months. We learn that Messrs. Black and McIntosh, of 'fucker smith, who were injured some time ago„ are progressing es wellascan be ex- pected.: Hensley: A very painful accident, happened to Mr. John Hodgins on Fri- day last. He was cutting wood in the bush and while helping to let down a tree that was lodged, a limb was brok- en off and thrown with terrible force striking him on the head. He was ren-' dered unconscious, he was taken home and medical aid was summoned imme- diately, when it was found that he had a severe scalp wound and his face and shouliers were badly bruised. He is doing as well as can be expected and we trust that he will soon be able to be around again. Tuckersmith: Much sympathy is- felt 3felt in the community for Mr. and Mrs. Henry Forsyth, of the Kippiu Road, on. account of the severe bereavement which has befallen them. During the. past few days their two only children and interesting little boy of two years, and a bright little girl of four, have been removed from their home by death. Robert H died on Wednesday Sth inst., and Grace-, the eldest and only remaining 'child, died on Monday of last week. She was aged 4 years and 21 days. That dreaddisease, diph theria, was the cause of death, Seaforth: A meeting of the Huron Medical Association was held in Seaforth on Wednesday last, There was a good. attendance of the leading medical men of the county. Dr. Shaw, of Clinton, was elected president for the current year:—Dr. Mackay, Seaforth, vice- president, and Dr. Turnbull, Clinton,. secretary. Dr. Brown, of Toronto was in attendance in the interest of the Do- minion Medical Monthly Magazine: Several interesting papers were ''read and discussed A. resolution, regretting the departure of Dr Campbell from this county, and recommending him to the profession of Brooklyn, where he in- tends locating, was unanimously passed and elicited complimentary remarks`. from several of the gentlemen present.
