A new geography intended for use in public schools of Ontario, is in course of preparation and will•be published at an early date. It is said the book will devote special attention to Canada, where the development of recent years has added many places of importance to the maps but at the •sarne time it. will not cut off Great Britain and the United States with such scant treat- ment as is given Canadain geographies in these countries.

Death of liars. Making. After an illness of only nine days of. pneumonia,•the spirit'er'Sarah Troyer, beloved wife of Henry Makins, aged 63 years, departed from its earthly tene- ment on Sunday night last at her home here. Deceased had but recent- ly returned from Varna, where she added to the cold she previously had while attending a son's wife. The cold quickly developed into pneumonia and although everything possible was done by loving friends and relatives to give her relief it was all in vain and death claimed her after nine days of illness. Mrs. Makins had been throughout her life a woman of particularly strong constitution and had been troubled withbut little siceness and it was thought she would survive the attack of pneumonia, but God ordained oth- erwise. She was a sincere christian and a member, of the Methodist church and before her death told the loved ones, 'who surrounded her, that she had no fear of death. Mrs. Makins was born in -York County and married there, after which she lived in Gray and Stanley townships, Huron county, and one year ago she with her husband moved+to.Exeter. She leaves to mourn her demise. a husband, seven sons and three daughters, all of whom haye the sympathy of the community..

The death of a former well-known' and highly respected 'old lady, took place at Fairfield, Stephen township, On Friday, last in the person of Mrs. Jane Parsons, widow of the late Wm. Parsons, at the age of 80 years, five Months and fifteen 'datiys. Despite all that could be dowe she had been in failing health since `last September from the effects of a grain of corn which had passed through her wind- pipe and became lodged in one of het lungs, causing an irritation which shortly developed serious consequences and gradually sinking,she passed to the great beyond. Born at Cornwell, Eng- land, in the year 1823, she came to Canada in the year 1841, and settled in Darlington. From there she removed to this neighborhood, about twenty- threeyears ago with her husband who predeceased her about twelve years. For the pastfew years she has resided. with her daughter,: Mrs. Baggith, at Fairfield, where she received the best of. care, and attention but nothing could avert the . hand of death.. -Mrs. Parsons was of a kindly disposition, a good wife and mother and always soli, citrate, for the Welfare of her family. She bore her illness with patience and in the firin belief of her Saviour's mer- its. A fainily of four sons and five daughters survive her:—W. )3:, Ed - Mouton, Alta.; .Lewis at.

Cole, Bowmanville. A Fitting Comparison. Can anyone naive two things that may be more fittingly compared than the struggles of, the Grand Trunk Railway Company of Canada to satisfy the people and to keep trains running and the efforts' of the Devon Hockey Club of Exeter, to give entertainmenttertainment and make expenses Both commenced the, season with considerable cash on hand, and there is • a good chance of both winding np in a state of financial embarrassment (comparatively speak- ing.), The company enjoys a blockade every three days and then an open track for one, while the club enjoys a continuous slump in the entertain- ment market. The Grand Trunk fought with snow -plow, auxiliary and shovel brigades while the Devons tried hockey: match concert and carnival. Week after week the struggles have gone on accompanied by the censure of the people, the biting satire of Jack Frost and. the howl -of the storm. A little success is attending the efforts of both at, present and no doubt they both are hoping for a greater measure. It would need less than one more such winter to cause those interested in sport to wish hockey at the bottom of the sea and,we think the very approach of another such winter would cause General Manager Hays and his assist- ants to wish•the London, Huron and Bruce had never seen day -light. Oh yes! it has been a "hard and steady winter" in more ways thanone, but it has been prophesied that it will go off with a rush. We haven't seen the rash yet, but,. no doubt, the company and the club are anxiously waiting for the April showers to close what to them has been a seasonbf-work,>worry and wrath. 4.
