liams, of the 7th concession, who died
in the city Hospital, London, on Satur-
day last, at the age of 59 years, 9
months, The circumstances surround
ing her death are rather sad. The de-
ceased had been a sufferer from inter-
nal cancer and to better her condition
went to the hospital about two weeks
ago to undergo an operation for tbe re-
moval of her trouble, but the strain on
her already weakened constitution was
greater thaw It could withstand and
she died under the operation. The
funeral took place to the Exeter eeme-
tery Tuesday and was largely attend-
ed, testifying to the esteem la which
the deceased was held.

accident one day recently. The child,
who is only a little over a year old, fell

ged constitution finally yielded to the
repeated attacks.

up. So heavy a fall to one advanced
in years i8 unfortunate, She was car
rying some disbes from the room to
another, and thought she was enter-
ing the kitchen door, when it really
was the cellar way.
Wingham : The practice indulged
in by a number of young men in town,
of going up the river on Sunday with
a keg of beer and spending the day
drinking it and in the other kindred
amusements, is by no means creditable
to the young men, their relatives or the
town. This sowing of wild oats pro-
duces a sure cr at of moral deteriora-
tory effects on their future social and
business careers. --Advance,
Egmondville: Mr. R. Stewart wha.
has been confined to bed for the
past three mouths, is very low at pros
