"Sweet is the scene when virtue dies! •
When sinks a righteous soul to rest,
How mildly beton the °losingg•.eyes
How gently heaves the expiring lIreast i"
Such was the closing scene in the life
of Jane Leadbeater, relief of the late
John Whitfield. having suffered in-
tensely, at times during the last few
clays, it was with hearts breathing out
gratitude to God, that those watching
round her dying bed, saw the lowly
calm, the heavenly joy, that over-
spread the dear old face of theft, loved
one as she passed from death unto life.
For the last few years she had been a
silent sthfferer yet always holding rep
before her mint the blessings and
comfort which Gocl in ' Hie mercy aucl
love had vouchsafed to her. Being
hindered of late, by failing sight and
hearing and other infirmities, from at-
tending the house of prayer, she lived
in daily communion with her Saviour,
thus allowingthio silently to u p bu • 1

earth one of God's nameless saints,
one whoselife fromehildhood has been
poured out in eelf-devoted, loving
service to God and man. From the
time of her young womanhood till
that of old age, her skillful,entle
hand, and her loving' sympathetic
heat were sought after by the sick
and sorrowing. To friend and strang-
er alike she tendered her kindest care
and peel of the cross she felt God had
given her to bear, during those latter
years, was her inability to take her
place as usual by the sick bell of vela-
Live and friend. She lived by faith
and not by sight and did not allow
that faith which had led her through
all the dark places of life, to teembglo
as she neared "the valley of the
shadow." She endeared herself to all
who knew her and through her last
sickness and sulfuring her children
were sustained by the quiet sympathy
and love which flowed out from the
heart of the old neighbors ae well as
the new. -Mrs. Whieaelcl is the last of

I Celebrate the

The comfortable borne of Mr. and

scene •of a very happy gathering on
Thursday of last week .when well on
to one hundred relatives and old
friends assembled to do honor to the
estimable host and hostess on the
celebration of the 1001 anniversary of
their wedding. It falls to the lot of
y few w couples to travel life's path-
way for so long a period hence the
greater importance and enjoyment of
the event. On July 8th, 1850, a
uuatrrnrnrlial alliance was entered into
between John R. Millet', a starch,

necessities and luxuries were there in
abundance to which ample justice was
done. The home was prettily decor-
ated for the eventful occasion. Aftse

addresses, i n termixed .with vocal and
instrumental music, recitation and
story was given, Rev. Mr. Perrin, of
Wroxeter, presiding and Robt. Miller

One of the most pleasing features of
the evening was the reading of an ad-
dress to Mr. and Mrs. Miller by Rev.
Mr. Perrin and the presentation al a
purse of gold on a gold tray by the
eldest son. M. Miller's reply will not
soon be forgotten and he did not fail

Miller enjoy good health at present.
It was a sunshiny day when the
matrimonial knot was tied and as the
years have rapidly passed away she
has done lunch to brighten and glad-
den the home and community and is
a welcome guest among her neighbors
aud friends,
While not an office seeker Mr.
Miller has had a busy life in public
affairs and the long years of service is
the best moor of the way he pe1'forma
ed his duty. Iu the early years he
was Inspector on the gravel road
building under Engineer Bey and also
did similar work in Bruce (o. ; for 24
years he was President of Bluevale
cheese factory ; was 10 years in the
Morris Township Connell, 5 years of
that time as Deputy Reeve ; 20 years
he served as License Inspector in East
Huron and 11 Magistx'ate for 35 years.
Being a loyal Britisher he took an
interest iu Militia affairs and served
as Captain at one time. In the How -
ick Mutual Fire Insurance Co. Mr.
Miller has r'endereci splendicl service,
being connected with ft froln its in
ceptiou nearly 30 years ago. He has
been President for 14 years, Loyal
and unswerving was the attitude of
bit'. arse Mrs. Miller to the Wroxeter
Presbyteria :church in which he has
officiated es Elder for 30 years. Their
seats are seldom vacant at the church
and by personal effort and generous
contributions the worthy couple of
whom we write have taken no small',
put. In political belief Mr. Miller''
has always been an ardent Liberal.
Much more might be truthfully
written concerning Mr. and Mrs.
Miller but sufficient has been intimat-
ed to show how worthy and highly
esteemed they are and their hundreds
of friends et this glad festival sincere-
ly hope they may be spared for many
years to come to their relatives and
acquaintances, THE Posr has no de-
sire to unduly laud Mr. and Mrs.
Miller but would like at the same time
to accord to those who have proven
themselves worthy of the high regard
of all wbo have the good fortune to
enjoy their friendship their just due.
Ifgood wishes will keep Mr. and

they should live to see their 75th

J. A. Hunter, Master of Brussels
Lodge, asked Rev. Ii. M. Lang•Ford,

very acceptably and after prayer by
B. Gerry the chah'nxan s speech. was

West, as the intermingling of young
people tends to break down prejudice,
Momentous events were wrapped up
in the battle of the Boyne. He felt
free to discuss public questions uo
matter who is concerned. A ishan
should be judged by his actions irre-

At4 o'clock' a well contested game
of Base Ball was played on the Agri-

more was 7 to 6 in favor of Blyth.
Barrister Monteith, of Brussels, offi-
ciated as umpire and impartially

Brussels Once
of the
More Champions
W. f.
The 4th Tirne Winners of the
Tankard.
Monday evening a crowd of over thea
people saw Brussels win the champion,
step Silver Tankard from Walkerton on
Victoria Park, Brussels, niter a hard,
close contest, Walkerton had one goal
to the good from last Friday's match
and were evidently detel'mined by de-
fence end dela)' to stand tee home team
off, Brussels won a goal In the first
half by a rush on the citadel tying the
score, When ends were :hanged one
boys carried the sphere again and again
to the flags of their opponents but were
not able to make it count until within
about 5 minutes of the close of the play.
This gave Brussels the lead by a goal
which they maintainer) to the end,
The home team plays the better com-
bination but the visitors are considerably
heavier, are ficet of foot cud great on
the defence. They wasted a lot of time
by kicking the ball out of the Park;
rhe 14 hours told ou Brussels team,
who have only been playing hour
matches, and they were well tired be-
fore the close. The changes on Bros-
gels line up from Friday's game was the
substitution of Jas. Strachan on the for-
ward line instead of Herb. Lowry and
Menno Jerckson in the place of Fred:
Hamer, Stl'acban always plays a good
game and Jackson acquitted himself
well. Every player put up good ball
and won on their merit and all the more
to their credit on account of the sturdy
character of the opposition. President
McLachlan, of Stream el, was the
referee and gave even banded justice as
far as possible, we believe. As this was
the final match the champiouship once
more swings into the carpet town mak-
ing the 4111 occasion on which it has
been brought here. The boys. de-
serve great credit for the plucky'figbt
they have put un this season and should
be remembered by the town in some
manner befitting the victory achieved.
The team will likely play for the Ontario
cup (which they won two years ago
from Greeu River) beton: they disband
for the season. With whom the contest
will come off is not yet definitely known.
Some were dubious as to whether the
juniors in the club could travel fast
enough to keep company with last
year's teanx but they convinced the
doubters that they were the "real stuff"
and able to hold their own with the best
of them. Cline Scott in );cal did splen-
didly and kept his head, Alex. Ander-
son, the sturdy back, had a real help-
mate in Glen Armstrong and between
them they saved many a goal. The half
back line with the old reliable Rus.
Brown and Will, Henderson, who prov-
ed himself a good one, took the season
o
tht•h
ug and never failed to respond,
Francis Duncan, Fred. 13 enter and M.
Jackson, wbo played iu different
matches on the half back, will make
members, with proper seasoning, that
ria one need be ashamed of. On the
forwards Gordon McDonald, the
captain, worked both his head and his
feet and was always able to match his
most red hot opponent. The two "Jim-
mie's"—Strachan and McGillivray were
always in it and are difficult to duplicate
and the new matt for tgog—Woodward-
won many a cheer for his activity and
cleverness. He is all wool and a yard
wide. Alf, McMillan (whom the boys
designate "Sliver") panued out real well
anis worsted hard as did Here. Lowry in
the games he played as wing man and
will be beard from again, Brussels won
8 out of er matches and only had :5 goals
scored on thele during the season, •
