The following from last week's Gode- rich Star refers to the death of Mrs. John Porter, mother of Mrs. Robt. Marshall, of the 2nd concession. A link connecting with the early history of Goderich was broken on Saturday last when Elizabeth Gibson, wife of Mr. John Porter, Dossed away after but a few weeks illness, in her 82nd year. She took ill shortly after the death of her grand -daughter, the late Miss Mamie Yuill, and despite all that loving hands and medical skill could do, passed to her well earned rest. The parents of the late Mrs. Porter came to Goderich in the early part of last cens tury, and her brother, Mr. John Gibson, was the first white child born in the then little hamlet which has grown to be the prosperous county capital. Of the early history and trying times un- dergone by the brave pioneers, Mrs. Porter knew not a little, and it was most interesting, to hear her recount many of these incidents. She was married 58 years ago to her now sor- rowing partner. They celebrated their golden wedding, and with their children had made calculations that two years hence their diamond jubilee would be celebrated. After her marriage she lived for 12 years in Goderich and then moved into the township, where 38 years were spent in the old homestead at Porter's Hill. About eight years ago the aged couple retired into Goder- ich to spend their remaining years free from the labors of the farm, and here, township, in her long residence in the o wnshi p, the late Mrs. Porter had many friends who learned to love her for her cheery and sympathetic nature and her ever - ready sympathy and help. Ten Child- ren were born in the family, two dying in infancy, Paul & Jewitt shipped a carload of hogs on Wednesday. Mr. P. O'Neil of Palmerstoiil spent a few days this week with friends here. Rev, and Mrs. W. J. West have re- turned home after spending their holi- days at PineRiver.

Ontario is to embark upon a cam- paign for improved public health. Ever since the last session of the Leg- islature, when the public health act was subjected to radical amendments, the Provincial Health Officer, Dr. 3, S. W. McCullough, has been engaged in preparing the new Provincial regula- tions. These were formally approved by the Government Thursday, and take effect immediately. They are designed primarily to give greater control to the authorities in combatting all infectious and communicable diseases. The most important of the changes made are in relation to tuberculosis. Into the bat- tle with the white plague the Govern- ment proposes now to throw the whole force of its organization and wide pow- ers are given to its officers. Compul- sory notification is expedited by the regulation compelling a medical practi- tioner to report any case of consump- tion within twelve hours after it has been diagnosed. Nor does his duty end with notification. He must keep a record of the case and make weekly reports upon it to the Provincial Board of Health. The municipalities, also, ale placed under obligations in the matter. They must keep maps upon which are regularly marked the loca- tion of all cases within their borders.
