Father Gahan, parish priest in charge of St. Patrick's Church Bid- dtilph townhsip, died early Friday morning. Father Gahan was taken ill about six weeks ago, and although everything possible was done for him, the general breakingg up of his system could not be checked, and he steadily grew worse. He was about 50 years, of age, and had been in the priesthood for many years. The last three years he has labored in Biddulph, where he succeeded Rev, Father Connolly on the tatter's removal to Ingersoll. Father Gahan was very popular among his parishioners, and his death will be generally heard of with regret., from visiting friends in Mitchell.

The Western School Magazine is pub - Fished at Emerson, by Ballantyne & :Hartley ; the latter is a son of Rev. A. Y. Hartley, formerly of Bluevale, and at one time of Exeter. London Advertiser.—"R. Dawson has purchased the old Exeterfoundry, and intends making it into a bolt factory."—This must be an error as fa. as Exeter is concerned. The dynamo for the electric light plant arrived on Saturday, and is placed in position. The newmachinery will be started some day this week. It is the finest plant in Huron County. Mr. and Mrs. A. J.

R. Holmes, of Clinton, .occupied the pulpit in Main street Methodist church on Sunday last, during the absence of Rev. Chas. Smith, who was preaching anniversary sermons in Clinton. Mr. Holmes delivered two very creditable discourses. DR. GARDINER SERIOUSLY ILL.—The news of the serious illness of Dr. J, H. Gardiner, of London, formerly of Farquhar, will be learned with deep regret by the many friends of the well known physician. He is suffering from an attack of blood poisoning of a threatening nature, and it will be some days before the crisis is past. He was taken i11 on Wednesday, week and has been delirious. Previous to this septic tronhle the doctor suffered from. the grip, and it is thought that his present condition was brought on by it. JAMES ST. (*Kinlen.—`.Che services for the last two Sundays have been specially interesting. In the mornings the pastor has given earnest evangeli- stic addresses followed by prayer ser- vices for which a large number from both town and country remained.. Beth old an 1 young show much in- terest. The woolen of the congreg- ation are holding four cottage meet- ings each week. -The pastor gave the fourth address on the Prodigal Son last Sunday ei-ening. The congreg- ation was large though there was pro- spect of rain. The subject for next Sunday evening is "The Mighty Famine." FOE THE BENEFIT OF FARMERS.— The first of a series of farmers' Bulletins has been issued by the de- partment of agriculture at Ottawa. It is by Dr. McEachran, chief veterinary inspector of Canada. Opportunely en- ough, it is on the subject of tuber- culosis in rattle. The bulletin de- scribes what tuberculosis is, what ren- ders cattle susceptible to this disease ; the methods of introduction, even con- sumptive persons coming within this category ; how to prevent introduction into a herd the symptoms and diag- nosis of the disease ; how to perform the tuberculin test; how to deal with n deceased herd ; the disinfection of pre- mises, and the disposal of tuberculosis carcasses. The department will dis- tribute it all over the country. ENTERTAINMENT. directors of the Public Library have secured H. J. Hill's Cinematographe for the even- ings of 29th and 30th November, with a matinee in the afternoon for children and ladies. The leading feature of the show is a magnificent representation of the jubilee procession, which is highly praised by the press wherever seen and always connnands crowded houses. This undertaking on the part of the directors of the Public Library should receive the sympathy and Sup- port of the general public, as the funds are in aid of the Public Library. The directors are much in need of funds this present year, owing to the fart that the government grant has been reduced to about one half of the usual yearly amount hitherto received, Unless some funds can be raised to meet this deficiency the library can- not be maintained in a proper state of efficiency, but must fall behind. It is to be hoped that the general public will make this entertainment a near - ked success. Fihther particulars will be given later on. DE:ITH OF JOHN RUSSELL. — This week we regret to announce the death of John Russell, son of David Russell, of Exeter north, who passed away on Wednesday morning, at the early age of 17 years and 10 months. About two years ago he contracted a severe attack of la grippe, which developed into that dread disease consumption. About a year ago he returned home from working on a farm, in Usborne township, bnt despite the most tender nursing and most skilful medical treatment, he kept growing worse, until relief came on Wednesday morn- ing. He was a universal favorite among his companions and friends. Mr. and Mrs. Russell have been seve- rely afflicted during the past eighteen months. It is only afew months ago since their daughter, Mrs. Harry Dillin", was suddenly cut down, and now they are called on to mourn the less of a son. The sincere sympathy of the entire community will be ex- tended to them in this their loss of a third child in so short a period. The funeral will take place to -morrow (Friday,) from the residence of his father, at 2 o'clock p. m. for the *Me- ter cemetery. Mr. It. S.

Boyd, now of Ninga. Mau„ but• for many years aresident of Nile. It oe- eurred on his father's farm, quite a distance from the house, where he had gone alone to attend to some work, and where he .was afterwards found, life having fled. We are informed that a couple of men are going through this neighbor- hood offering to sell pianos, and get- ting farmers to sign orders for them their business may be perfectly legi- timate and right, but the wording of the order forth is said by our inform- ant to be singular ; farmers should be very careful to read carefully before they sign any order presented by a stranger ; so many have been swindled in this way that too pinch caution cannot be exercised. Those who are thinking of going to Alaska or of investing, we call your attention to the following : Frank Ruse and W. H. Parsons, of this town, have been placed on the Directorate of a Company recently formed in Denver, Colorado, through the influence of Joseph Ruse, brother of Frank Rase, and also President of the company. The men forming that Company be- lieve that fortunes will come out of that country in the next few years. The then at the head are men of large experience in the line they have mailed out. Success no doubt will follow. Mr. Ruse and Mr. W. H. Par- sons have a limited amount of stock to dispose of, and .will gladly furnish ospectus and any information con- cerning objects of company, price of stock, etc:., to those . who will call or send. 1897 J.
