It. will also be gratefying to learn that he is uot likely to be per - eminently injured, nor will his sight be in the slightest impaired. For a time his heart troubled hien, ain't it eves fear- ed that serious result might arise therefrom, but even this has passed teway. Only the closest relatives have been allowed to see hien, but as he is now able to leave his bed others are perruitted to see him. His Kippen work has been supplied for him by Rev. Mr., Sawyer, who will supply it for the next two or three weeks send the work at the Hillsgreen appoint- ment by Rev. Mr. Hamilton, of Izendes- bore. Rev. Mr. Davidson, of Varna, will look after this place for the same length of time. It is anticipated that by the end of that tinae Mr. IlloLennan may be able to resume his own work. The other injured ones are now on a fair way to recovery. Mrs. j. W. Mc- Lean and:Miss Maggie McLean, who were confined at the home of Mr. R. Mellis have sufficiently recovered to be taken home. Seaforth Our citizens generally and the cus- tomers of the Dominion Bank in par- ticular, will deeply regret to learn that Mr. W. K. Pearce is about to sever his connection with the agency here for the purpose of removing to St. Thom- as, where a new agency of the bank is opened. -Mr. Geo. Stewart, of Seaforth has purchased the 100 -acre farm of Mr. Wm. Bubolz. on the North Road, Mc- Killop. Mr. Stewart takes possession in April.

Hodgins, who has been in the Domin- ion Bank here, has been transferred to St. Thomas. MED. -There passed away at the residence of Mrs. John Crich, in this town, on Sunday, Nov. 29, another of the early pioneers of this country, in the person of Mr. John Grant. De- ceased had reached the advanced age of 79 years, but until a few weeks ago he seemed quite smart and was Ode to go about town. He had been confined to the house about six week. He had been a resident of Seaforth for about four years, coining here from Ethel, in the township of Grey. His wife died many years ago. Mr. Grant was one of the first residents in the township of Grey, and continued to reside there where he was much respected, until the infirmities of years r-endered it ne- cessary that he should retire from the active duties of life, when he came here to spend the remainder of his days with his daughter and her family. He was a quiet, honest, good living man, a Liberal in politics and a Presbyter- ian in religion. The remain were tak- en to Cranbtook for interment on Tuesd a y, Tuekersmith. DEAT13.-On Monday, Nov. 30, the township lost one of its oldest and hest known residents in the person of Sim- on McKenzie in his 73rd year. He came to this locality when but a babe with his parents, in 1834, where he has con- tinued to reside ever since. About 43 years ago be ruarried a MissalcQuillan to whom five children were born, all of whom reside in the township with the exception of a son at the Soo, who besides his sorrowing wife are left to mourn his demise. Mr. McKenzie's death was due togeneral decline and' old age, becoming quite childish at last, although possessing a dear re- membrance of things that occurred in his early life. The late Mr. McKenzie was of a gentle and benevolene dispo- sition and was much beloved by his friends and all with whom be came into contact. Of him it might be truly said that in all his acts justice was tempered with mercy. The funeral was held on Thursday to Baird's cem- etery, a large number tnrning out to pay their last respects to the n emory of the deeeased. WEDDED. -Another of those pleas- urable occasions which so frequently occur throughout this country, and which will likely continue as long as the world goes ou, took place on Wed- nesday by which Tuckerstnith contri- butes to the happiness of a Brucefield home. We refer to the marriage of Mr. James Boyle, a successful farmer near Brucefield to Miss Ida, third daughter of Mt. Sohn Armstrong. At eleven o'clock a silence fell on those present and the bridal party were ushered into the parlor where the in- teresting ceremony took place the same being performed by the Rev. E. Sewers. bliss Armstrong's wedding robe was a marvel of elegance, com- bined with rare simplicity, being of crepe de chene, and as she stood by her husband's side she looked 'indeed beautiful. The ceremony being over and congratulations extended, the assemblage moved to the dining 1.001111 where tables were spread with all kinds of delicacies and we cannot be- stow too much praise on those who provided the repast, The bride was not forgotten as was evinced by the magnificent array of presents which were presented to her. The happy couple were driven to Seaforth where they took the afternoon train for To- ronto. The amiable bride was very prominent in social circles and was tt general favorite with all classes here, and most loved and respected where best known,and her many friends here join in wishing herself and worthy husband all happiness and prospeeity etnd may they find many roses strewn on the rugged pathway of life.

DEATH OF JARED BROWN. -One af- ter another thr oldest of our pioneer settlers are being called to their re- ward, leaving only the evidences of their well spent lives of labor and in- dustry as landmarks to their memor- ies. This week we are called upon to record the death of Jared Brown, an- other of the oldest veterans, who pass- ed away on Sunday night last at the age of 83 years and 3 months. The de- ceased had been ailing for several eveeks from stomach trouble but was able to be up and around almost to the last-. On Sunday afternoon he was taken worse, when a physician was tailed, but his services could avail nothing and gradually growing worse he shortly passed away. Born in the village of Wa,ybridge, County of Sur- rey, England, he came to ()swede when a young man and in the year 1854 moved to the farm on which he died. He leaves to mourn his demise a grown up family of two sons and six daugh- ters. His aged partner predeceased him only last April. His remains were laid to rest it the Exeter cemetery on Wednesday. The bereaved family have the sympathy of their many friends. THE CHRISTMAS DINNER. In spite of the fact that the word dyspepsia means literally bad cook, it will not be fair for many to lay the blame on the cook if they begin the Christmas Dinner with little appetite and end it with distress or nausea. It may not be fair for any to do that - let us hope so for the sake of the cook! The disease dyspepsia indicates a bad stomach, that is a weak stomaelarath- er than a bad cook, and for a week stomach there is nothing else equal' to Hood's Sarsaparilla. It gives the stomach vigor and tone, cures dyspep- sia, creates appetite, and makes eating the pleasure it should be.

Luckily the fire was discovered when it was or otherwise all would have been consumed. Loss was partly -covered by insurance. BIRTHS.
