Fullartou 01 usHED TO D1E0A.TH.—Our Iittle vil- lage was thrown into a state of excite- ment on Saturday last when it became known that Mr. John McDougall, a farmer living near here, had been kill- ed. It appears the deceased was en- gaged in moving a house from his place to that of his neighbor, Samuel Davis. The rear trucks supped from under the house, and this falling upon him, Mr. McDougald was crushed be- neath it. He was immediately rescued but not until life was extinct. De- ceased was about forty years and was highly esteemed throughout the town- ship. He never professed to be other than what he seemed—a. plain, honest, thrifty and obliging neighbor, indul- gent to his family and consistent to his religious beliefs. His sorrowing widow and a small family survive him who have the genuine sympathy of the community in their sad bereavement. Biddulph WEDDING.—St. James' church was the scene of a very pretty wedding on Wednesday, being the marriage of Mr. John Robert Oluff, to Miss Mary, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Flynn, of the 2nd concession. At three o'clock the bridal party entered the church and immediately the ceremony was performed by the Rey. Geo. McQuillin, Incumbent, and was witnessed by a large number of friends and invited guests. The nuptial knot being secure- ly tied the happy couple,together with the guests,repaired to the residence of the bride's parents, where a most dain- ty and sumptuous luncheon was served to all. After the inner roan had been amply satisfied, the afternoon was very pleasantly spent in a social way. In the evening the light fantastic toe was tipped and was kept up till the wee small hours. The bride is one of our most popular young ladies and is high- ly esteemed as was evinced by the beautiful array of wedding gifts which' she received. The groom is a model. young man and is worthy of a good companion, and such he has and we hope and trust as they have now join- ed heeds for life they may always con- tinue in the happy state of married life and may the choicest blessings ever rest and abide with them through the journey of life. Stephen GOLDEN WEDDING.—Mr. and Mrs. Mittelholtz, celebrated the 50th anni- versary of their inarriage at their home Monday. On May 23rd, 1854, this ven- erable old couple were married. It was a happy event, and the young peo- ple started on the tempestuous sea of life with great expectancy. Time sped on, and as the years rolled by the fam- ily circle grew until their union was blessed with thirteen children, eleven of whom are still living; During all these fifty years this worthy couple have journeyed on down through life's pathway together fulfilling the marriage vows and happy in adminis- tering each to the other, and though sorrow has saddened their pathway at times yet a firm and never failing faith in Aim who doeth all things for the best has enabled them to see the silver lining in the cloud, and we find them on Wednesday active and happy, sur- rounded by a host of warm friends, celebrating their golden wedding. Mr. and Mrs. Mittelholtz were handsomely remembered on this occasion, not only by their children but by-'nuinerous rel- atives elsewhere. They are both still hale and hearty and bid fair to cele- brate their,diamond wedding, and we are sure that their numerous friends join in wishing that they may still be spared to each other in health for a great many y ears. The decendants of Mr, andMrs. Mittelholtz number forty grand children and six great grand children. Shipka { Mrs, H.

HOLT.—The hearts of many in this community have been saddened by the unexpected death of one of our best-known and most high- ly respected residents in the person of Jane Keys. beloved wife of Mr. Chas. Holt, who passed away on Monday last after a comparatively short illness. The deceased was taken down with an attack of paralysis abouteleven days ago, but the case was;not thought ser- ious until afew days previous to her demise when she grew worse and an hemorrhage setting in finally ended her life. She was a daughter of the late Thomas Keys, and was highly re- spected as a friend and neighbor. She was aged about 56 years. Much sym- pathy is expressed for the sorrowing husband. ROdggerville. A very heavy rain storm, accompan- ied by severe lightning passed over this section on Thursday last, and as a result many trees, telegraph and tele- phone poles, etc, suffered considerable damage.—On Thursday last Mr. Thos. Case met with quite a loss. He had been seeding and noticing the threat- ening storm approaching was making preparations to go to the barn with the team, but just as he turned around to get a bag of grain the team became frightened and ran away, On reach- ing the gate -way near the barn they made an attempt to pass through, but the gate being only partly opened one horse went one side of the gate and the other the other, with the result that the seeder was completly demol- ished and rendered useless for all prac- tical purposes. Strange to say the horses escaped with scarcely a scratch. ¥cOillivray PASs.2D Awaa.—Daring the past few months there has been a speedy re- moval of the early settlers of this vi cinity. One by one have they passed from the scenes of their toil and expert- enoe to the quiet slumber of the grave. Their labors remain in cleared, well - cultivated farms tad comfortable homes. They have left to their sons and daughters it legacy worthy the outcome of the well fought battles of life. Another has just departed in the person of. Mr. Daniel Winegarden, who departed this life on Monday,May• 23rd, at the age of 85 years, 3 months, 8 days. Deceased had been poorly for some time but the infirmities of old age was the immediate cause of death.. Deceased was of a gentle and benevo- lent disposition and was much beloved by his friends and all with whom he - came into contact. Of him it might truly be said that in all his acts jus- tice was tempered with mercy. To the bereaved ones we extend our gen- uine sympathy. BIRTHS.
