SUDDEN DEATIL—This community has been shocked by the almost sudden death of Mr. John Ferri, who passed to his reward on Saturday morning last aftee only a, few hours' illness. Mr. Ford had left his home Friday evening to pay a friendly visit to his neighbors, Mr. and Mrs,. Fred Heitman, and while enjoying a chat, as was his wonted custom; he was suddenly seized with an attack of paralysis, which rendered hint unconscious and from which he never rallied, dying about seven o'clock the next morning. The deeeased was a native of Scotland and came to this country many years ago. He was highly respected by all who had the pleasnre of his acquaintance • was upright and honest in all his -deal: inge; a good neighbor, and a man noted for his strict integrity. His aged partner predeceased him about a year and a half, and outside of at adopted datighter he leaves no family. The funeral took place to the Grand Bend cemetery on Monday afternoon.

When a husband and wife have seen their sixtieth wedding -day, they may well be said to have reached an event of unusual attainment. Such an occa- sion was celebrated at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wen. Grigg on Thursday last, they having been married at Marylebone Church in London, Eng., on the 28th day of July, 1844. The day was a most pleasant one to those who had gathered to celebrate, extend con- gra,telations and pay' homage to the venerable and worthy old couple on this the oocasion of their Diamond Wedding; and with the mellow light of life's declining sun shining upon their heads, this exceedingly fine old, couple were not lacking in making the event a bright and most happy one. Time has not chilled their hearts, though it has scattered its snows in their hair, and traced, here and There, furrows on their Mows. Many valu- able presents were received by the worthy couple. The home was beauti- fnI1vdeovated with fin wers and. plants. Speeches and music were indulged in, and not the least interesting speech of the clay was that of the groom, who gave unmistakable evidence that al- though 84 years of age, his faculties are marvellously preserved. Among those present were: Mr. and Mrs. E. McFaul, Seaforth; Mrs. Blaikie, of Hamilton; Mr. and Mrs. &unwell and Dr. and Mrs. Lutz, of Exeter; Mrs. Brown, sr., of Wroxeter; Me. and Mrs. B. *W. Grigg and son, Montreal; Mr. and Mrs. Grigg, of London; also Mrs. A. Walker, of London. After singing the doxology the company dis- persed at a seasonable hour. It is safe to say the event was the first of the kind ever celebrated. in Exeter. Tbe Advocate joins their many outside friends in cougratulations, and we trust that they may have a tranquil sea, before them, and that as they draw nearer and nearer the haven to which we are all bound, the "peace which passeth all understanding" may be theirs. Free Hospital for Consumptive Poor. Rev. P. Clifton Parker, M. A.'the Travelling Secretary of the National Sanitarium Association, preached in Oaten Presbyterian church and James Street Methodist church last Sunday morning and evening, and made a plea on behalf of the consnenptive poor. He said that about 8000 die annually in the Dominion and 3.000 in the Pro- vince of Ontario from this disease; that hetween the ages of 14 and 45 every fourth person that dies passes away by the 'white plague".'that the Gravenhurst Sanitarium Association controlled the only hospitals in the Dominion where the sufferer could be treated—the Free Hospitals would take patients in any stage of the dis- ease, even if they could not pay a dol- lar for their treatment; that the instit- utions were supported by public char- ity, and he was seeking the help of all people in securing an enlarged fund in order to be able to meet all the cases that came. A local branch has been started in Exeter with a membership fee of $1 per year. This was for the maintenance of poor patients, and the help of all classes is desired. • .At a public meeting held in the Town Hall Monday evening, August 1st, it was decided to form a league of the National Sanitarium Association for Constimptives. Dr. Rollins and Rev. Clifton Parker both spoke elo- quently in favor of the • Sanitarium 'and also said it was the duty of every kind hearted person to help to check the, awful ravages of the "White Plague", as consumption is called. Over 3,000 die annually in Ontario from' this disease, and still it can, with care, be checked. The following of- ficers were elected:—Dr. Rollins,Pres.; Jos. Senior, Vice -Pres.; Rev. W. Mar- tin, Jos. Davis, Dr. D. A. Anderson, Committee; N. Dyer Higdon, Sec.- Treas. .The President then said he hoped the committee would enlist the services of some ladies tp canvas for this cause. $1 entitles you to become a member of the league.

The deceased had been ill of a severe stomach trouble, from which she suf- fered a great deal during the peg sev- en weeks, and gradually waning in strength she passed away. Her re- mains where conveyed to the family residence in Biddulph, from where the funeral took place to the Nursery cern- etery on Tuesday.

We sin- cerely'hope that no serious results • will ensile.— While engaged at his work at the Harrison Estate mill on Thursday Roland Burr -met with a narrow escape. He was passing some machinery, when a projecting shaft caught his shirt and drew him into the machinery. After revolving with the wheel several times he managed to seize hold of a post and to pull him- self out. His clothes were torn off his back but he was only slightly injured, andreturned to work the same day. ANOTHER MISPORTtTNE.—Wm.Pum- frey seems to be pursued by misfor- time. It will be remembered that be accidentally had his knee cap broken early last winter and was as a conse- quence laid up for some months. He was just getting the use of his leg again and was out in the country last week looking at some cattle. In get- ting out of the rig he gave the same knee a twist and it broke again. He will be in for another unwelcome rest. Crediton • Mr. Wm. Eilber, of Newark, Ohio, and Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Lewis, of South River, are visiting their parents here for a few weeks.—.Messrs. Wirt.

He was a partic- ularly robust type of a man with a physical appearance that gave promise of a long life. • He was a man highly esteemed for his good qualities of both head and heart and his sudden taking off has caused much grief and cast a gloom over the neighborhood where he was best known.
