Mr. Lipp- bardt has finished his work and the roll was delivered to Clerk Hess Wed. A SAD OASIS. -Mrs. Bart, who re - side's near the swamp, . back of Peter Munn's place, is in a bad state. She has been i11 for some time and an oper-. ation is necessary to save her life. As the family are very poor the operation cannot be performed at her home and she is too weak to be moved to a suit- able place. The husband is a laborer and there are a number of little Child- ren ranging in age from three months to 13 years. By charity of a few of the neighbors the family are kept from want but itis thonght the Hay .Coun- cil ought to act in the platter .with promptness. Cgm1OIL MMEET1Nd.-A special meet- ing of the Council was held on Wed- nesday to consider the writ,which has been served against the Township, for danla esby Mrs. Marianne Durcharme. J. 0. Stanbury, of Exeter, was present and was consulted on the matter. It was decided to let the case go on, and the hearing will likely be held in Gode- riob in June. The trouble is not of the Council's making and there is no doubt that if a fair amount of damages would have been asked for in the first place, the matter would not have gone this far as the Connell would havebeen willing to settle rather than go to 141W about the matter.

We refer to Mrs. Riley and Mrs. John Bray. Mrs. Riley's death occurred on Saturday, after a brief illness, from blood poison- ing from which she saffered intensely. Deceased came to this country from England with her husband about a year ago, and since her residence here has made many friends, who are in- deed sorry to hear ofhis death. A husband and six small children survive' her. The sympathy of the entire community is extended to the bereav- ed ones, who are almost strangers here having left kith and kin to come out to this country, where they had hoped to find lucrative employment and bet- ter their condition generally. ---In the death of Mrs. Bray, relict of the late JohnBray,the community loses an old and well -beloved resident, her death occuring.on Wednesday, at the age of 79 years. She had always enjoyed good health until November last, when she fell, fracturing her thigh, from the effects of which, owing to her advanc- ed age, she never fully recovered. De- ceased was born in England and after uniting in marriage with her husband they came to this country, settling in Darlington township. Some forty- eight years ago they removed to this county settling on a farm near here where they continued to reside. Her partner predeceased her some three years. She leaves to mourn her de- mise one son and two daughters. The remains were laid to rest in the Kirk - ton cemetery on Saturday. • Ribbert ACCIDENT, -Mr. James iiror re, while returning home froth Mitchell the oth- er evening, met with a serious acci- dent. It appears the horse he was driving became unmanageable and ran away, throwing Mr. Moore with great force onto the frozen ground, rendering him nfCensciOUS, in which condition he remained for two -hours, after being carried to the house by Mr, Munro, Dr. Proudfoot was at once summoned and on examination it was found that, his right arm and cheek bone was broken and little hopes are enter- tained for saving his left eye which was almost pulled from the socket. The patient is doing as well as can be expected. Mr. Moore has the sympa- thy of his many friends. BIRTHS. Russ/ix-In Exeter, on April 23, to .
