DEAra.-"In the midst of life we.
are in death." The blow is too sudden
and the shock yet to fresh to write
with calmness of the event which last
Sunday saddened many hearts here,
John Farrell, a prominent druggist,
having been suddenly called away.
He had risen early Saturday,apparent-
ly feeling ;well, had attended to some
business in his store and shortly after-
wards was found lyingon a couch in
an unconscious state, remaining thus
until he passedaway, at 12.30. Sunday
morning. The deceased was seventy
years of age and had carried on a drug
business here for forty-two years and
by his straightforward and honest
dealings with the public had made
many friends. Personally he was a
very quiet man, but was well versed on
many subjects, being an ardent read-
er. He is survived by a widow and six
daughter -the Misses Cecelia, 'Emma
and Barbara at home; Miss Frances,
of New York; Mrs. J. Kavanagh, of

WEDDING. -Among the many mar-
riages that have taken place in this
town few happy participants will have
more universally the good wishes of
our citizens for their future happiness
and prosperity than the young folks
who were united in marriage on Tues-
day. We refer to Mr. Harry J. Thomp-
son, of Clinton, and Miss Maud Pat-
rick. The happy event took place at
the residence of the bride's father, Mr.
George Patrick. At 12 o'clock the
bride, attired in a handsome costume
of silk organdie, over white silk, en-
tered the parlor leaning on the arm of
her father, and took her place beside
the groom. Owing to the recent be-
reavement in the groom's family there
were only the immediate relatives at
the ceremony, which was performed
by the Rev. A. Ayearst, of. Lucan
Methodist church. The happy couple
were unattended. Ceremony and con-
gratulations over the company sat
down to a well laden and dainty re-
past, which was a credit to those who
served it. The presentswere numer-
ous and were much admired, testify-
ing as they did to the esteem and good
wishes entertained for the bride and
groom, The groom's gift to the bride
was ahandsome gold watch and Chain.
The bride though only a resident of
this place for a short time was very
popular and she will be much missed
by her many friends here. After the
wedding breakfast the bride, gowned
in a handsome travelling costume of
fawn Cloth, triinmed with brown vel-
vet, and wearing is brown hat with
tucked white chiffon and rich white
plumes, left with her husband for Clin-
ton, where they will make their Ju-
bilee home. The best wishes of their
litany friends accompany them and
may they enjoy many years of . happi-
iness together.

DEATH. -We have frequently of late
referred to the illness of Mr. John Tor-
rance, of this township. It is this week
our sad duty to announce his death,
which took place on Sunday, April 24,
at his late residence,l4th concession,at
the age of 52 years. For several weeks
prior to his death his condition was a
most distressing one, but he bore his
sufferings with an uncomplaining fort-
itude which indicated his sincere trust
in '•otter things heyoud and the sum-
mons of the last messenger was to him
a mots welcome call. Mr. Torrance
was a staunch and true man in every
sence of the term; he was one of Na-
ture's noblemen. His high sense of in-
tegrity and moral rectitude won him
the confidence and respect of his fel-
lows, while his many noble qualities
of. head and heart made him a pleasant
companion and a true, warm friend.
A. widow and a family of eight child-
ren are left to mourn the loss of a•
kind and true husband and an indul-
gent father. The funeral took place
on Tuesday to Mare's Hill cemetery.
Rev. Mr. McGregor officiated.

A FORMER PASTOR WEDDED. -On
Wednesday, April 27th, the commodi-
ous residence of Mr. George Haynes,
of West Missouri, was the scene of a
very pleasing event, when his daugh-
ter, Miss Luella, was united in mar-
riage to Rev. W. J. Waddell, of Shed-
den, formerly pastor of this circuit.
As the sveeet strains of the wedding
march, played by Miss °elia Waddell,
floated through the home, the bride
entered the. parlor, gowned in a be-
witching costume of white silk trim-
med with insertion, and carrying a
heautifnl shower boquet of white ros-
es. The ceremony, which took place
beneath au arch, decorated with ever-
green and roses, was performed by the
Rev. H. Graham, assisted by the Rev.
Andrew Haynes, brother of the bride,
and was witnessed by a large number
of friends and invited guests, among
them being Miss Helen Greenlees and
Miss Adeline Lily White, of London.
The wedding presents were numerous,
varied, choice and costly, an evidence
of the high esteem entertained to-
wards the young;bride, coupled with
the donor's earnest wish that the lov-
ing pair may long enjoy to the full
life's inestimable blessing, health,
wealth and happiness. Rev. and Mrs.
Waddell, after visiting friends in Lon-
don, will go to their home at the par-
sonage alit Shedden. Rev. Waddell's
many friends here wish himself and
estimable bride every happiness.

Becoming alarmed at the rapid de-
cline in health of her little son, Elmer,
Mrs. Wm. Beacom took him to a To-
ronto hospital for consultation and

hear Rev. Morlock's farewell sermon
last Sunday morning and evening. He
chose as his text in the evening the
words in II. Got, 13-1L His discourse
throughout was rendered in the most
kindly manner,which is the right way
for a pastor to part from his peopple,
end his remarks will not soon he for-
gotten, at least by many who were
present. On Tuesday evening at the
close of the prayer meeting the band
gathered before the parsonage and
played several suitable selections in

ed faithfully here during the past four
years and will be greatly missed. He
