The following obituary notice refers to the mother of Mrs.Ra hrf . nand of O s y this lace :—On the dayof the funeral °Pour late ging, thee was interred in St. Marys cemetery one of the early pioneers of Blanshard township, in the person of the late Mrs. Thomas Artnstroa . When quite a young girl she came with her parents, Jno. and Mrs. Switzer. from county Limen- ick, Ireland, in the early forties of the last century. In 1847 at the age of 17, she married Thomas Armstroug, who short! before had emigrated from County Fermanagh, Ireland,gand they' started home building in the then un- broken wildneruess on lot 7, East Mitchell Road. There they resided almost continuously until the death of Mr. Armstrong in 1897, it being his especial pride that the farm had never beau mortgaged nor had he ever been in debt although beginning with nothing. One of the important results of this union, was a family of seven boys and five girls allot whom are not only living but married and the fathers and mothers or grandparents of over three score descendants, so that the humble beginning 63, years ago in the back woods is responsible for 75 descendauts, much wealth and prosperity and an untold influence for good. The family have always been staunch Methodists but with varying - political affiliations. Had the late Airs. Armstrong lived until Dominion Day she would have completed her 80th year and although she had a severe illness afewyears ago, previous to that for many years the necessity for a physician's services in the home was very rare indeed. The passing away of Mrs. Armstrong leaves only one remaining representative of the Switzer family, Henry Switzer, who still resides in comparative good health on the old Switzer homestead, Mitchell Road, although the descendants are numbered by the score: It will be in- teresting to record the names and homes of the large family of 12, which begat' auspiciously with the advent of twins, Irwin and Elizabeth. The for- mer is engaged in carriage building at Brantford and the latter now Mrs. Christopher Ra hard the wife of a prosperous farmer at Ethel, Ont.; next came Robert, who was for many years a carriage builder in Brantford, but later has been snperintending the erec- tion of railway bridges chiefly in the Cobalt district. The third son is Moore, who for several years was principal of the Orangeville public schools and now is principal of Ren- fx a Model ho l Switzer, the 4th w sc o Swit a h son took upfarmingabout 1880 in North Dakta and recntly retired to a fruit farm near Portland, Ore Agnes married James Barnett and for manyyearsv exemplify- ing ha a been exemp ty- ing the farming profession on the Mitchell Road ; Ellen became a school teacher and married H. H. Miller, M. P., for South Grey, and of recent anti - race track gambling bill fame. Their home is in Hanover ; Maxwell was intended for a farmer but left the old home when wheat was 05 cents a bushel and hods and cattle about 3 cents a pound live weight. He is now Secretary -Treasurer and business manager of the largest Furniture fac- tory 10 Canada at Hanover, Ont. ; Harr the youngest boyhas fallen heir to the homestead nd a large family of boys and girls midis a model agriculturalist ; Dora, is living in Portlaud, Ore., and is the wife of E. W. Ball, a prosperous druggist. The baby of the flock is Bertha, now Mrs. John•8. Epplett, an up-to-date farmer on the 4th concession of Blanshard.

Abort sixty farmers attended the Drainage Demonstration given by Mr. Weir, of the Department of Physics, 0. A. 0., Guelph, on Satur- day, P, day, May 21st, on the farm of John Jackson, 5th con: The proper method of finding the level of drains was clearly shown, also the manner of drafting the location of elicit drain where required. - )3 e also showed how roffie of each drain p was s drawn.
