The merchants of town are consider- ing the advisability of closing their places of business at 6.30 pan. except Wednesday and Saturday. Several have decided to do so. We have al- ways advocated such a movement•and at timesthe business llen have come to agreements but gradually broke away I on the approach of the vvinter months. This should not be. There is no need of the proprietor and clerk being kept in the store all day and half the night either in winter or .summer. There is no more business done. In order for the movement to be successful it is nec- essary tbat the merchants be unanim- ous in making the agreement and in keeping it to the letter.

A vote of thanks, moved by Mrs. Munroe, seconded by Mr. McCallum, was tendered Miss Porter for her excellent and enter- taining paper.

Kay and Farmer, Fsndmark'teemoYed.` People who have been travelling the London Road South during the past sixty years' or less will miss anold landmark, the large elm tree which stood just west of the road on the Oar - ling property recently purchased by Mi•. (ileo, Mantle, the tree having been felled on Saturday morning lastat the hands of woodman. It was cut down owing to the fact of its having become decayed on the inside, and the owner feared that, although it bad stood the blasts for many years, it might be blown down and do some damage. The tree was about foinr feet in diam- eter, whips, the hollowed inside was al- most three feet across. It is stated on good authority that when the country was surveyed many yearsago the old tree was found to be within a few feet of midway between London and God- erich. Here and there along the roads in the vicinity of town are noticed a few old elms still standing, but their number is becoming less year by year. If able to talk what stories these old trees might tell of the struggles, tri- umphs and failures of the old pioneers; of the turning of the wilderness into green fields and thriving towns and of the many storms that have swept over the couutry. Many a good story. re- mains untold because man knows not the language of the trees. Death of Jennie Drew. From the. San Bernardino•Daily Sun are taken the following particulars of the life and: death of Mrs. Surr, of whom mention was made last week:- "The announcement of Mrs. Surr's death came as a shock to her numerous friends, for though it had been known that her condition was serious no ink. ling of the gravity of her illness was known. Her health showed signs of failing last summer and: she sought the sea coast where slight improve- ment was noticed. Returning'in the fall her . condition rapidly. became worse and some weeks ago she became a patient of a private hospital, but a cure was not obtained and she was, a few days since, removed to her home where her strength gradually ebbed, She was 30 years of age. As Miss Maria Jennie Drew, she occupied a high place in the educational circles of this city and Santa Barbara. As a member of the High School faculty for four years, holding the chair of languages, she became widely known, and won warm friends among teachers and pupils, and the confidence and es- teem of the City Board of Education, her success as an instructor being most marked. Two summers ago she be- came the wife of Attorney Howard Surr. Besides the husband a little daughter,Elizaheth,only a few months old, survives. In• her home life Mrs. Surr showed a mind of the finest mold. She loved her books and her.home,and was devoted to her husband and little daughter. The funeral took place on Sunday, the body being interred at. Ontario, Cal."
