The county bridge commissioner reported that he bad examined all the bridges in the county which were over 23 feet in length and gave an estimate of 8(,,s541 as the alnoitnt required to renew the wooden bridges. The lest wooden bridges were built in 1891-5, and some of these would be good for some years yet, but the above sum would rover the cost of replacing the wooden Fridges with iron ones. New bridges had been constructed this year as fol- lows: Bluevale: one south of \Vinq- hanl: Campbell's bridge, in Ashfield; St. Joseph, in Hay; °rand Bend, in Stephen; Sauble, on the boundary be- tween Huron and Middlesex; K irkton, on the boundary between Huron and Perth. Bridges will be required next year as follows: Hall's Midge, tintler- ich Township; Warren ('reek, one mile south of Hensall; Josephine street, north of Winghani: and a bridge on the boundary between Grey and Elm* townships. The commissioner has is. cued orders to the amount of *13,428.00 since the last meeting of the council. The horse of Refuge committee, consisting of Reeves Middleton, Geig- er, \Villert and McLean, \Verden Cur- rie. Clerk Lane end elnsnector Tor- rance, visited that institution last week and were very touch pleased with what they saw. They expressed themselves as well satisfied with the management of Mr. Jfutch and his better half who are not only getting good results for the county, hilt are as well very popular with the instates.

Gunn, M.P., Dies at Ottawa Ottawa, Dee. 9.--13. 13. Gunn, Con- servative member for South Huron, died at 9,45 o'clock tonightin the hos- pital here after tut illness of about one weak. The end was not unexpected. as it was known since Friday night that the patient's condition was most ser- ious. Mr. Guru'sb health had not been of the best for some weeks, and shortly after arriving home in Seaforth he complained that he was 110t, improving as he had expected. Acting on the advice of his physician, he entered the hospital. where for the first few days he seemed to iniprnve. Friday night, however, he became worse and he gradually sank. This afternoon it was known that lie could not last long. Ars. Gunn and his two sons, Gor- don, at medical student at Toronto University. and John, of Seaforth, were with 1 ' hen the end cause. The late 13. BGunn was one of the most popular men that ever sat in the Dotninion parliament. His good nature was ever with hire. and it was corttage..tis. lie was considered a The late 13. B. GUNN, M. P. roan Of good business ability and was well above the average as 0 debater. Among his fellows be was respected for his high ideas of life. being a man of most exemplary habits. '4r. Gunn was a conspicuous figure in any gather- ing. being of picturesque appearance. His popularity was amply evidenced during his 10.4 illness, when members of both sides of the house made daily calls to learn of his condition. The remains will be taken to Sea - forth. Little did the people of Exeter and district think three weeks ago last night when they heard Mr, Gunn speak in the Exeter Operas House that that would be the last time they would hear him. On that occasion he remarked that he did not know wheth- er he would be the candidate chosen to contest the next election, but little did he think that death would remove hint so soon. He then looked the pic- ture of health, although he was not felling well. The news Of his death was received here with the deepest sorrow. lie was kindly, good natured and charitable --a man of excellent character, honored and respected by all, whether political friends or oppon- ents. He was an active member of the Methodist church in the town of Seaforth, where previous to his elec- tion to parliament at the last general election when he defeated Thos. Fras- er by 111, he was a general merchant. His wife. two sorts, Gordon and John, and his mother survive, and have the evnlpathy of the whole riding in their Bereavement. Mr. Gunn was 17 years of age. The funeral takes placeThurs- day at 1.45 p.nt. in Seaforth. ADDITIONAL LOCAL$ The Rectos of the 11. i vitt Memorial is delivering it series of sermons dur- ing Advent on Sunday evenings on the 13i ole. Last Sunday the Reiman was on The Source of the Bible anti his exposition of the subject was most in• teresting and instructive, showing that the Rector had given the subject much forethought and preparation. He dealt with Wren). of the Ancient writings that had been derived from God to man and how the Bible had stood the test of all ages. Next Sun- day he will deal with some of the earl - lest versions and their traditions. The third Sunday he will deal with the Authorized and itevisrd Translations. This series of sermons is proving very intere4ting to the congregation. Married at Edmonton A very pretty and pleasant event took place on Wednesday, Nov. 27, at eight o'clock at the home of Mrs. 1( Haggish, Belmont, Alto„ It being the marriage of her eldest daughter Jen- nie, formerly of Centralia, to Mr, Jas. E. Smith, formerly of Centralia also, and now one of Edmonton's merchants. The groom took his stand under an arch of evergreens and flowers, while the t ride, gowned in a beautiful navy blue 1taveilirrg suit, with embroidered white silk blouse and carrying a bunch of white chrysanthemums, entered leaning on the arm of her brother, to the strains of the usual wedding march, played by Mrs, Vail. The ceremony was performed in the pre- sence of n few intimate friends by the Rev. %V. J. Haggith, 13. A., 13. 1)., of Herat, brother of the bride. After the ceremony was over all sat down to a •nmpt11011s repast, where all did ample justice to themselves and after it was served the remaining part of the evening wag spent in pleasant model intercourses, enlivened by nlnsic, etc. The bride was the recipient of many handsome and appropriate gifts, tes- 1ifying to the esteem in which she is held. The happy couple left the next day for Edmonton, where they will take up their abode. \Ve wish them a long, happy and prosperous married life, as both are highly esteemed young people and have anode many friends since coming to Edmonton.

To have it come to your home each week means a treat all the year round, One dollar is a very small amount when one considers that every week for fifty-two weeks lie is going to receive a copy of the best weekly paper printed to -clay. It pleases everyone; to farmers particul- arly it is 0 wonderful help. At this season one cannot (lo better than send at dollar to the Family Herald and Weekly Star, of Molar pal.
