DEAR MR. EnrTOR.-In the issue
of January 7th there appeared
a notice to trespassers on S.
I Lot 20, Con. 4, sighed by us. We
stated that hay had been removed
iron? the barn which is in our lease,
without our consent but Mr. Braver
replying to said notice in TEE POST
of Jan. 14th takes upon himself the
authority to state that no bay was re-
moved from the premises excepting
what grew on the small lot he refers
to which did not exceed one cwt.
Had this been ti truthful version of
the case we certainly would not have
issued a notice to trespassers and
again state that hay was removed
that was our property. We did not
charge Mr. Brewer with talking it but
simply took this method of protecting
out property. Mr, Brewer also states
that the hay was not removed by a
thief a or ' trespasser tassor bn i byli
Does he lint ki ow that the lacing
thereon or removing of anything from 1

was stricken with paralysis, Her,
physician was called but he gave no

and peacefully. Her maiden name
was Alice Matilda McMurray and she
was born he the township of T endin-
age sixty-five years ago. In 1868 she

and true husband, and who predeceas-
ed her five years ago. Mrs. Winter
wasmild inher '

and kind to everyone '
yand was ever
ready to render help to those who
needed her aseista fee, whatever was
within her power to do. She was
quiet in her religious life, but the un-
hesitating testimonies she so willingly
ga.ve and the beautiful Christian
character she manifested, convinced
her friends that her life was hid with
Christ in God, Three sons and one
daughter, are left to mourn the loss of
a kind and loving mother ; Samuel D.
G., Win. J., of Richmond ; Thos. I.,
of Newburgh, and Mrs. 0. E. Ashley;
of Empey Hill, She also leaves one
brother and four sisters to mourn the
loss of a kind and true sister : Robert,
of Huron Ootrnty: Mrs. T. Kelleyy, of
Thurloty : D'Irs, J. Robinson, of Raw-
deu ; Mrs. Bay, of Sydney and Mrs.
D. Winter, of Richmond. The fun-
eral, which took place on the follow-
ing Tuesday, was largely attended,
and the services was conducted in
Mount Pleasae t church. by her pastor
Rev. 0. L. Thompson, preaching from
the text, "Foe to me to live is Christ,
and to die is gain." Ber remains were
placed in the vault at Riverside ceme-
tery to await interment in the family
plot there. Her entire family, also
her. brother and sisters were with her
in her last illness.

been appreciated by ns. During the
time we have been associated in the
Sabbath School, we have learued to
look upon you as a teacher earnestly
endeavoring to instruct us In the way
that leads to Eterrial Life and as a
friend ever ready to give us sympathy
and assistance. We hope that your
remembrance of us as scholars will be
no less enduring and pleasant. As a
slight token of the esteem iu which
you are held by us, we now present
yon with this Writing Companion
which we graciously ask you to accept
and value, not on account of its own
intriusic wprth but because it is the
material representation of the esteem
and respect of sincereaud sympathetic
friends. In taking this our farewell
we wish yon eoccsss and happiness in'
yotu' fatme life and tvork. We may
not all meet here again but we are
consoled with the knowledge that
there is a brighter and more happy
world beyond „vhers farewells are

parting are no longer needed. Signed
