yea, incessantly reminded in the past few
weeks that in the midst of life we are in
death. Last week, Helen, beloved wife
of James Waddel, of the 3rd line, passed
away to her last rest. , For the past two
years deceased has been gradually failing,
and this •became more apparent within
the past two months, when it was evident
that even her rugged cenetitutiou could
not much longer withstand the hand, of
time, nshich bore so heavily upon her.
About six weeks ago she was almost en-
tirely confined to her bed and was scar-
cely able to -be out *ince. The cause of
death is said to be heart disease aggravate
ed with dropsy latterly.f {She had attain-
ed the age of 66 years. The remains,
which were followed by a large concourse
of relatives and friends, were interred in
the St. Marys cemetery, on Wednesday

BRIEFS.— The last lecture of the series
was given in the Methodist church, on
Tuesday everting, April 5th, by Rev. W.
S. Pascoe, of Exeter, "A diamond from
a coal pit," or "The story of a great
transformation." The lectures of Drs.
Sutherland and Ryclonan were very good
but that of Mr. Pascoe was best of all.
The lectures have not been half so well
attended as they deserved, but the popu-
larity of the series juse ended, may go
far toward awaking in the people a desire
• and liking for such things. -The annual
meeting of the base ball club was held on
Friday evening last, when new officers
were elected. The young men of this
neighborhood have little love for high
and honorable positions, so the contest
for the Presidency was not very lively.
Surely there is material enough in this
locality out of which to form a good club.
Wake up boys, and get your names up. -
Mr. Thos. Miners has moved to Exeter,
where he intends to work at his tande es
a house carpenter. -Mr. M. Elford, jr.,
who had his arm cut off about six weeks
ago, is able to be out again and enjoy the
spring breezes. -Quite a bit of sickness
prevails in this locality. Thornton, son
of Mr. T. Saab, is very sick, as is also a
daughter of Mr. Joseph Hawkins. Mr.
George Sleamon was confined to his ned
for several days. Miss Clara Miller, of
Winchelsea, is very low. Mr. Ira
Andrew, who had his leg broken recently,
has so far improved that all the bandages
are removed. -Miss Eva Manning, who
apent last term at Alma College, Std
Thomas, spent Easter at home. -Another
egg gatherer is going the rounds. If
chasing the hens will make them lay, a
great deal of it will be necessary in order
to supply the numerous egg gatherers.

The proposed conference of the province
composing the Dominion for the purpose of
considering amendments to the Act of
Confederation may result in good. The B,
N. A. Act requires amendments in severaf
instances : but it is very doubtful if any
two of the provinces would agree as to what
the amendments ought to be. The diver-
sity of interest is very great; and if • unan-
imity is to be reached in any of the discus-
sions there mast be a good deal of give and
take among the representatives. A full and
free discussion and a friendly interelmrg.e of
views will convince the delegates of the wiz-
dom of making haste slowly. If the object
tif the conference be to make a united raid
of the federal exchequer, or to form an al-
liance offensive itucl defensive so as to wage
war against the Dominion Government,
such as -the Province of Ontario has been
doing for the last nine years, the result to
the country may be serious. But if the
delegates would devote themselves to
