SUDDEN DEATIL.-The unexpected death of Mrs. John Millson on Monday last has cast a gloom' not only upon the family but upon a wide circle of friends in the community where she. lived and was so well and favorably known. The circumstances in connec- tion with her death are extremely sad and her sudden takiugoff rendered the family almost prostrate with grief. The deceased appeared in her usual health on the morning of her deMise, cheerful and felicitous as ever. and had attended to her usual household duties. Mr. Milison had gone outsidefor Kfew minates whim on his return to his great surprise he found his wife lying prostrate beside the stove with life ex- tinct. Thedeceased was a good wife and mother and as a neighbor will be much missed. She leaves besides a sorrowing husband three sons, all qf whom have the sympathy of the email- npinity. Kippen , WEDDING. -On .Wednesday, April 6th, the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Oudmore, near here, was all astir, and as the gay and fascinating figures flit- ted in and out of the house it became quite evident that something unusual was taking place. Every person was radient and, happy, and well they might be for the commotion was for the advent of a, wedding, it being their beautiful daaighter, Miss Susie, who was united in marriage to Mr.. Thos. Workman. The bride, gowned in a handsome costume, entered the parlor leaning on the arm of her father .and as she came and took her place. beside the groom, looked very bewitching. The interesting ceremony was per- formed by the Rev. Mr. Shaw. At the conclusion of the ceremony the blush- ing bride was saluted and the young couple heartily congratnlated,.. after which all repaired to the dining room where tables were spread with all kinds of delicacies which did credit to those who provided the repast. To gaze at the array of magnificent pres- ents one could not help but come to the conclusion that the bride number- ed her friends as many. Mrs. Work- man is admired and beloved for her kind and pleasing disposition and Mr. Workman who is a, progressive and popular young farmer, is to be C913, gratulated on securing such a worthy helpmate. The evening was very pleasantly spent in games. music and social intercourse, We have great pleasure in joining with the numerous friends in best wishes for the future happiness and welfare of Mr. and Mrs. Workman and may their futare be an uninterrupted honeymoon.

INTERESTING OONTESTS.--Sawing bees have been quite in eyidence for the past two weeks. The one held at Mr. John Lightfoot's Saturday after- noon will probably be the last of the season. Different sawing contests took place at the different bees from time to time, and excitement ran so high until it was decided to test the best saws and sewers at the final bee. Mr. Wm. Scott and Mr. Thos. Lewis each filed their own saws. The test was to be made on a beech tree. The tree was set in position and each pair of contestants came in for their turn. All had tried their luck when the test for honors lay between two couples. Messrs, Thos. Lewis and son, Erwin, sawed with the former's saw, while Messrs. Jas. Patching and Robt. Ham- ilton sawed with Mr. Scott's saw. The latter pair was first on trial, making 14 ineh cut in lla seconds, while the former two were allowed several trials lett they were dootned to defeat, the best possible time they could make was 10 seconds. Thus it will be seen that Messrs, Patehing and Hamilton car- ried of the laurels and it was deeded that Mr. Seott had the best Saw, The saw was made in Galt and Weighed seven pounds. The vietors claini that they can still lower the record, • Oreen.Wa,y No. A.

YRIARLY,-Death has again entered our midst and taken away one of our oldest, residents, in the person of Mr. Thomas Yearley, who departed this life for the better world on Monday, at the ripe age of 80 years and 9 months. The deceased had been ailing for some months from the infirmities of old age, but about two weeks ago he was stricken with paralysis of the spine, from which he gradually sank. Born in the year 1828 he came to Canada about the year 1850, settling in London where he served in the 20th Regiment and seven years lat- er came to the township of Stepheu, and purchased the farm on which he died. Being one of the earliest settlers of the township he bad to undergo many of the hardships of the early Pioneers. He was for many years a Di- rector of the Hay Township Farmers' Insusance Co. and helped a great, deal by his 'ise judgment in making the ()oinpany 115 prosperous as it is to -day. He was a man of sterling character, kind father and neighbor and one who always lent a helping hand to the poor and needy, He Was a member of the English church and a Clonservative in politics, His remelts were interred in the Exeter cemetery on Wednesday, the Rev. R. W. Knowles officiating. He leaves to mourn his demise i wid- ow and one son, William, who is one of the • Councillors of this township, besides a large limber of relatives and friendei who have the sympathy of the vicinity in this their sad be- reavement.

DIED. -The past winter has brought about many deaths in our midst, and one by one the earlier settlers are pas- sing from the scenes of their toil and experience to the quiet slumber of the grave. Their labors remain in cleared, well -cultivated farms and comfortable homes. They have left to their sons and daughters a legacy worthy the outcome of the well fought battles of life, The latest to have paid. nature's debt was Mr. James Nichols, a highly respected resident of the 7th conces- sion, the summons coming on Wed- nesday morning, April 5th, at the age of 75 years. Deceased's illness was of short duration, the immediate cause being a paralytic stroke coupled 'with old age. Mr. Nichols was an industri- ous and intelligent farmer, of expand- ed views, fixed and decided opinions and was in his own distriet a man of influence and veight. Like most of his countryman he was intensely pat- riotic yet with a liberality of spirit and broadness of view of the cosmopol- itan. His view of life, the result of ex- perience and thought when once form- ed were steadfastly maintained with the consistency of a mature and confi- dent judgment His politics were not those of parties, but of measure, the good of his country and his fellow citi- zens. The funeral took place on Thurs- day to the Parkhill cemetery and was largely attended. DIRTY/S. Dow -In Hensall, on March 81, to Mr. and Mes.
