ago in Pennslyva,nia, of German par-
ents. He settled early in Stephen

sons and four daughters, who all
suevive bine. For many years he was
a member of the German Methodist
church in Crediton, and very highly

zabeth Poster, an American lady.
'Choy took up their residence on Ox-
ford street, where they remained for
a year or so, and then removed to
West London, where they only re-
cently united with the Kensington

and eat up with his pastor until after
ten o'clock. The next morning before
daybreak he died, A short service
was held at the house last Saturday
afternoon by the Rev. S. Salton, after
which his remains were conveyed to
the G. T. R. Station for Orediton,
where the funeral was held on Mon-
day afternoon, Isis six sons acting as
pall -bearers. Mrs. Sweitzer cannot
speak too highly of . the tenderness
and thoughtfulness of Mr. Sweitzer's
sons who came and. made every pro-
vision for the funeral, and did all
they could to comfort the sorrowing
widow. Beautiful floral tributes
were sent by the children, and also by
Mr, Foster, of Port Huron.

lowing is the address:
To Mr. and Mrs, E, R. Bissett
Drakalzersacs -We hare learned with sorrow
of your departure from our midst. Changes
are constantly taking place. Friend after
friend departs. We are very for cibly remind-
ed of this as year after year one after another
of our °hurt% members and congregation are
leaving us ; and we can truly say that our
loss will be gain to those with whom Mr. and
Mrs. Bissett will cast in their kit, While with
us their social qualities have won for them the
confidence and esteem of their friends ; and
they have been willing workers iu the cause of
Christ. We hope tivit in your future home
you may have good health and prosperity ; and
Shat surrounded by Christian friends, and.
strengthened by help Divine, the remainder
of your life may be increasingly happy and
useful. We shall miss your cheerful kindly
faces in all. departments of our church work.
The true Christian over remembers the scrip-
tural statement "Ye are not your own for
you are bought'with a price, In wishing you
an affectionate farewell we ask you to accept
these chairs and table as a small token of the
esteem in which you are held by us. We hope
in the future you may look upon these gifts as
something which you prize, not so much for
their real worth as for the affection and re-
spect of whieh they are a token. May God
grant thitt if it be not ours to meet again on
earth ,we shaumeet with YOU and yours on the
mevoerregreen shore. where partings shall be DO

ion of the Prohibition Al
Hance of the County of Huron was,
present and presented the wishes of'
that body, being received with every
courtesy.
Mr. Mitchell briefly returned his
thanks for the honor, promising to do
his utinosb to deserve the confidence
reposed in him and to carry the Con-
servative standard to victory. He
paid a high tribute to the ability and
integrity of Mr. Whitney, the coming
Premier, whose general policy deserves
the siipport of every honese citizen.
On the particular question of temper-
ance so prominently before the count-
ry he declared that he would at all
tames stand. by the principles which he
advocated all his life, eudeevoring to
be consistent with his past record, and
expressing the belief that the Conser-
vative party in West Huron and. in
the Province would concede him the

tions ou that question. The loyal and
enthusastic reception accorded the

him, and is a good augury for victory

represented South Huron for the past
four years, and is the Conservative
candidate in the approaching contest,
with every prospect of suceess, ad-
dressed the convention at some length
