On Tneeday a team belonging to Mr. Wm. -Wood, of Usborne, ane which was tied to the post in front of Hugh Spackinan's hardware store, _made a lively T.un down Main-st, and into the conntry as far as "Devon. The horses became frightened by the fluttering of a blanket me one of them and broke the tie -line. to order to pass' scene gentlemeu, who were trying to stop them, the made a dash across the street, toward Dr. Browning's (ling store, hut turned smith in time to avoid the windows. The sleigh, how- ever'struck one of the iron tie -posts andbent it almost to the ground, throwing- the wood-raek oft the sleigh.

The travelling public who have oc- casion to drive to and from London, will he pleased to learn that the toll gate, which was situated neatest the city, has been removed and the annoy- ance of at least 000 0± those abominable clap -traps has been done away with. Let this be only the commencement of the removal of these much hated toll- gates. The Free Press; commenting on it, says -Tho removal of the toll- gates is a necessary sequence to the abandoning of that portion of the com- pany's road involving Brough's bridge. ft will relieve all that part of the town- ship up to the next toll -gate this side of St. john's. The fact that a new iron bridge will have to be built over the river led to the company giving up this part of the road, But it is said that a nice point will come up in the County Council as to whether they will consent to take over the road under the circumstances. The new bridge will be an expensive matter and the. Councillors think they should secure the abandonment of a much larger share of the road. Teachers' meeting..

The sitd summons of death made it self felt in the home of Mr. Wm.

Deceased was born in the township of Tjsborne in the year 1857, consequently was in her 43rd Year, and moved here with her parents over twenty years ago.

There passed away at the family home, London Road, North, on Friday last, William Jeckell, one of the early settlers, a successful farmer and a man noted for his striet integrity. Mr. Jeckell had been ailing for several months from internal cancer, hence his death was not in the least unexpect- ed. The skill of the most imminent physicians wits -sought, but all Was to no avail, the nature of his case was be- yond all human power and. from the time the deadly disease first manifest- ed itself his health slowly and gradu- ally declined, until death released him from his sufferings. Deceased was born in England and came to Canada in the year 1834 and settled for a time in Port Hope, after which he moved to the County of Huron, settliog on the farm on which he died. He was 0 01/0 of unsuel strength and enerdy, contributing more than the average share towards transforming the un- broken forest into well-tilleclfields. A man of vetiring- disposition, never as- piring to public positions but was of keen perception and intelligence. He WaS a thorough farmer in every res- pect, it man of mach experience in his sphere of life, and as a result he had acquired a yaluable estate. He num- bered his friends as many, while his gentle and kind hearted nature won for him the good will of hilndreds of acquaintances. He is survived by a loving wife, five sons and four daugh- ters, Charles and "William, of Ohio; Roden, of Hamilton; Janaes at home; Allan, (teacher) of 'Ushorne; Mrs. P. Howe, of Toronto; Bessie, of Michigan; Adelaide, (teacher) of Ushorne, and Lau let at home. Mr. Jeckell belonged to the Presbyterian body, was a re-, former in politics and was in his With year. The funeral which took place to the Exeter cemetery 00 Monday 1505 largely attended, showing a most gratifying tribute to his worth. The genuine sympathy of all go out to the bereaved in this their sad trial of af- fliction. 2awkiidvine-aimp'...4A.KKAIKANAI"gt?
