EM Elt.--Tile cold hand of death has again visited this connnnnity and has taken for its vic- tim one from a family who by love and affection had bound her dearest to many hearts. This week it is our sad duty to announce the death of Mrs. Wm. Baker, who passed peacefully away to join the silent majority on Sunday at twelve o'clock. Mrs. Baker .has for the past year been failing in health, but up to Friday nothing was seen to indicate this statical bereave- ment, but from then she gradually sank and on Sunday bid farewell to all the transitory things of life and rose to a far more serene clime. Mrs. Baker's maiden name was Francis Kellen and in the year of 1835, at the age of 18, she was betrothed to Wm. Baker, who remains to share with his family the loss of a. loving wife, and pious devoted mother. Since their marriage thirteen children have bless- ed the married life, eleven of whom survive her, viz—Mr. John Baker, Grey; Mr. Wax. Baker, Stephen; Mr. Newton Baker, Mr, Nelson Baker, Stephen; Percy, Manitoba; and Thorn- ton at hone; Mr's. Isaac Hill, of Crediton. Mrs. Win. Hill, Crediton; Mrs. John Heaman, Stephen: and Miss Dara andEveline at home. Deceas- ed was a pious and industrious wife and a loving gentle mother. She was a member of the Methodist church and has lived to see her family grow up and take prominent places in the social and commercial world. The The funeral took place on Tuesday to the Exeter cemetery and was one of the largest ever witnessed- in this vicinity, there being 105 vehicles in at- tendance. The bereaved family have: the sincere sympathy of their friends. Too late for last week. Mr. iV.

WincheIsea • M.uuuttD AT MITCHELL.—Mr. John Roy,of the firm of C'onctt .ti Rov,of this plater, has taken tante himself a wife,in the person of Miss Mary Grant, of Mitchell. A Mitchell correspondent to the Stratford Herald of May 17th, in giving an account of this pleasant affair, says: -•-"It is said happy is the bride that the suit shines on. The sun did not siliee'to-day but the bride was happy all the same. Mr. John Roy, merchant, of Winchelsea, formerly of Mittllell, was married to Miss Mary Grant, one of the fairest young ladies of our town. Rev. J. W. Iiolmes per- formed the ceremony at the residence of the bride's mother. Both are estim- able young people and should do well in their life venture as they know each other very well. ,hiss Grant has been one of the leading singers in the Meth- odist choir and will be much missed. They left on the afternoon train for London. We hope their pathway through life may be pleasant and happy." Mr. Roy treated the boys most liberally on Saturday night and they in return presented Mrs. Roy with a very hand soave present, DEATH OF MRS. MATTHEW ROUTLEY. "The young may die,the oldnlust die." Once more death has visited our neigh- borhood and removed one of our oldest settlers in the person of Mrs. Matthew Routley, at the advanced age of 73 years and 9 months, after a few days illness. The deceased did her usual household duties up to Sunday, the 14th inst., and the following Saturday was laid at rest. Mrs. Routley was of an amiable and kindly disposition, a good wife and mother, a tree friend, and no better neighbor ever lived, al- ways being ready to lend a helping hand when needed. Her illness though short was borne with Christian forti- tude. She was born in Devonshire, En land, and cantle to this country with her parents when young, endur- ing many of the hardships incident to a pioneer life. She married Mr. Rout- ley and settled in Usborne township about forty years ago. She was a member of the Sunshine Methodist church and leaves to mourn her demise a sorrowful husband, three sons and two daughters, all of whom are mar- ried but one son. The funeral took place on Saturday cast and was very largely attended, testifying to the es- teeny in which the deceased was held. The bereaved family have the sympa- thy of a large circle of friends. • Goderich: Last Saturday evening Mrs. Carleton narrowly escaped a ser- ious accident. While leaving the side- walk at 0. A. Nairn's corner, a buggy passed right in front of her, the wheel going over her foot. Goderich: The Indian Isaac Young, charged with committing burglary and theft at Hensall last week, was taken before Judge Masson, on Satur- day for election. He asked to be re- manded until Monday inorder to con- sult with some friends who were coin- ing up from the Indian reservation at Muncey. The expected Indians arriv- ed Saturday night, and on Monday Young elected to be tried. by a jury.. An application for bail was granted, but in the meantime, the terms as to bail imposed by the judge not having so .far been met, the prisoner is in jail. The case will conte up for trial at the June sessions.
