DEATH or A WORTFIy RESIDENT, - 'Phe death summons carte to a well known resident of 13Iuevale last Sat- urday night in the person of William T. Smith, who has lived here for near- ly 4o years and he passed away to his reward, aged 7o years. He wee born in the Co. of Durham and moved to Btuevale in the prime of his young manhood. His wife was Miss Emma Farrow, sister to Thos. Farrow, post- master of Brussels. The sons are Thos. of Winnipeg;. and Rev. W, B., of Chesley, and the daughters, Mrs. (Rev.) Scanlan deceased I Mrs. Carpenter, of Canfield, Out., and Mrs. Gannett, of Btuevale. The sub- ject of this notice was a loyal Metho- dist, being a olass leader for years. He was Conservative in politics and a member of the Canadian Order of Foresters, being buried under the dir- ection of the latter on Tuesday after- noon. Service was held en the Metho- dist church where Rev. George Baker, his pastor, preached a very suitable sermon to the occasion.- Mr, Smith, while not as robust as in his earlier years, was able to work until quite re- cently. Cause of death was so in- ternal rupture. Mrs. Smith and fam- ily will share largely in the sympathy of the community in their bereave- ment, Deceased was a man of many excellent qualities, a good neighbor and a supporter of whatever he thought to be for the public weal, LX s t.lIop Evangelist Minnis has been assisting the pastor at revival services at Bethel church. The reopening of the blacksmith shop at Leadbury by Mr. Munn is a matter of no small convenience. W. j. Welsh. of Winthrop, McKillop township, shot a bear near his own farm Monday afternoon, The bear was met in a piece of woods. The carcase was un exhibition iu Kennedy's butcher shop, Seaforth. ADDRESS AND PRESENTATION. -John Dundee, ,who has been very attentive iu regard to church matters, was pre sented with a gold amounted ebony caue by a number of his friends at Bethel church one evening recently. Mr. Dundas was also presented with the following address ; DEAR Slit AND BROTHER -In view of the many years of untiring zeal and energy Which you have manifested in advancing the in- terests of the church here, also the knowledge that yon have seldom miss- ed a meeting of the Executive or Quarterly business Board either in sunshine or Storni for a period of near ly 3o years, likewise the energy which you have displayed as a Steward in collecting monies to which the diff- erent ministers were entitled during all these years, and what to us from a local standpoint is even of greater im- portance, is the untiring efforts which you Kaye put forth for the comfort of those who have worshipped,bere.

In view of these as well as many other services, we would re- quest you to accept this cane as a slight token of our appreciation sed at the sante time expressing the hope that you will be spared for many years in promoting the cause of our Heavenly Father, and the welfare of the church of your choice at this plate, The re- cipient, who is not a man of many words, made a brief but suitable reply. The cane was purchased from H. L. Jackson, Jeweler, Brussels, and was a very line one. These kindly remem- brances do good to more than the re• ceiver of the gift and if they were more frequent the world would be all the better. I. C. Rio a - . s 8etuioree. Goon Tills, -Rev.

D, AINLAv, Teacher, ADDRESS AND PtESENTA'r1ON,-A very pleasant and large gathering as, sembed on the evening of Wed. of last week at the residence of Henry Young, Hallett. This was occasioned by the resignation of Norman Murob, the popular teacher of U. S. S. No. tz, Morris and Hullett, who has cot - ducted the 'school in a highly satis- factory manner for more than three Veers, The chair on the occasion was ably filled by Wm, Jackson, of Blyth, who in his usual felicitous manner, Called ou a number of the ratepayers for addresses it',any of whom respond- ed and spoke in glowing terms of the eMMo-rent manner in which the, school bad been conducted. Prominent among those were Masers, Watson, Young, Watt, Wells, Bryant, Mott'fs, Sanderson and others, all of whom ex- pressed deep regret at the departure of Mr. Murch. The most important event of the evating was the reading of an address by J. Watt and the presenta- tion resenta-tion of a gold watch chain by Mr. Young, to which Mr. Murch made a suitable and feeling reply. After per - N attgliton, of Bros-- taking of the bountiful supply of pro - visions catered by the ladies and the moving of a hearty vote of thanks to Mr, Young for his hospitality, they re- tired to their respective homes, Fol- lowing is the address 1 -Mr. Murch, Dear Teacher, -We, the pupils of your school, view with regret and sorrow the thought of parting with one who always had our future welfare and highest good ever before him, and who did not spare either hie time or himself in bringing into realization all that was dormant and unmatured in us. No doubt we were sometimes very an- noying both in regard to our studies and behavior, but we trust you will overlook and forgive all our past un- gratefulness. We all extend to you our best wishes to whatever calling in life you mail see proper to engage. and sboule you see fit to again assume your teaching profession we will be only too glad to extend to you a hearty welcome to our school. Though this latter wish may not mature, yet we wisb to have you visit us at our homes whenever the opportunity presents it- self. As a token of our esteem and best wishes we beg you to accept this chain, not for its worth in dollars and cents, but as a slight token of the very high esteem in whiob you are held by us. (Signed).
