P, for East Huron,died at his reeidenoe "Maitland Terrac" Wroxeter, on Wednesday night of last week, at the age of 76 years. Mr. Gibsou was first elected to the legislature on March 2101, 1871, and retained his seat until the last general election in 1898, a period of 27 years. At the time of his retirement be occupied a place in the House ooutinnonely longer than any other member. Born in Greenlaw, Bar• wiokohire, Scotland, and emigrating in 1853, first to the United Staten and short- lyafterwarde to Upper Canada, Mr. Gib. eon settled with several of his brothers at Wroxeter, in the County of Huron, in 1857, when that part of the province, now a fine farming distriot, was almost no broken both. His strong common sense and intelligent grasp of public affairs brought him early to the front. He was one of the first reeves of the township of Howlett, and at confederation was selected as the Reform candidate for the North riding of Huron, but was beaten by a narrow majority by the late W. T. Hays. In 1871 he was returned to the House, Mr. Hays again being his opponent, and after one or two subse- quent elections his hold on the riding was never seriously challenged. Mr. Gibson yeas in many respects a typical border Scotchman. Logioal and sagacious, his advice on questions of polioy and administration was esteemed by the suooenetve Liberal Governments whom he supported, and no one received greater attention when addressing the legislature, eapeoially on questions of finance, in the discussion of which his long and intimate acquaintance with the course of provincial politics gave him un• usual advantages. He was a member of the Presbyterian church and a lifelong total abstainer. He leaves a widow and one daughter. Mr. Gibeon's health was unsatisfactory for several years before his death but a severe attack ofri g PP s was the immediatea cause of his demise. The funeral on Saturday afternoon was largely attended. Rev. Mr. Anderson, pastor of the deceased, conducted an ap• propriate servioe in wbioh he gave a brief historical sketch of Mr. Gibson's life.

The Toronto Globe referred to the de ceased editorially on Saturday ail fol. lows :—"Thomas Gibson, who died at Wroxeter the other day, was one of those typical Bootohmeo who helped to con. vert Western Ontario front a forest into a fine farming country, and to give it a reputation for sturdy Liberalism. Be settled in Huron in 1857, and was aeon marked out as a man of public spirit and capacity. He was one of the first Reeve. of Howielt, and was a member of the Ontario Legislature from 1871 to 1898. Here kis etroug, logical mind and his downright fashion of speaking soon gain• ed the ear of the House. He was alwaye listened to with attention, as a man who was sure to say something that was vale able, especially on questions of finance, with whioh he was specially familiar. Rio Liberaism was as broad as it was strong, and be never lost his interest in British politioe, with which he kept him. self well acquainted. Books, especially on economic and social questions, coca• pied a large part of hie leisure time.

Meetioge of the Board of Health were held whenever it was found necessary. The Inepeotor was very &ireful it warning all parties to clean up their yarde, water closets, &o., and then seeing that it was properly done. And further be was always reedy to do anything he was requested to at• tend to. We have not had any epeeist trouble during the year in getting parties to carry oat the law relating to Public Health. The only matters demanding special etteution were a well and some persooe wanting to rule the Board of Health. During the year there have been it number of oases of typhoid fever, though it is a matter for thankfulness, only one death bus resulted from it. Hdwever the Couuoil and the Board of Health should nee the utmost care in re- lation t0 all dieeaeey.that are communica- ble and keep our Village in the highest state of health possible. Now I have three or four suggestions to make. 1st, That all partiee, where it is not already done, be urged to provide boxes for the water closets a, they am best every way. 2nd, That in appointing members on the Board of Health to appoint men who are willing to work and are not afraid to do their duty. 3rd, That all medical men report all cases of iofeetione diseases to the Board of Health and where necessary let the Board put np cards, thus freeing the attending phy- sioiao from any troab,e with the family where disease is found and by whom he is called.
