Brownlee, of Tuakeremibh, spent from Saturday till Monday visiting some of his old schoolmates around' this place. Thos. Roe, a muoh respeoted resident of the 14th line, has retired from farming and henceforth purposes to reside in Sea - forth. Mr. Roe fe not a pioneer, .yes he has been here for aboub twenty years and while his industry and frugality justly entitle him to the retirement and relax• ation from active bueinees, whioh he now meditates, we deeply regret his removal from amongst us. The neighborhood in general will feel his loss for at the oaks of duty or of interest he was ever the first to respond. Yet his absence in church circles will be felt most as he was a consistent member of the Methodist denomination, of which it may be said he formed a pillar. Anterior to the sever- ance of the Jackson !March from the Walton oironit he regularly filled one of the appointments and though hia exer- cises were practical rather than eloquent he never failed to command the fall at- tention of his hearers. In all the revivals of the Walton cirouit ha has taken an aotive part, indeed he has evangelistic powers of a high order. Your corres- pondent will here, in behalf of the neigh- borhood, aoknowledge the debt it owes him for hie services at prayer•meetinge, the sick bed -aide and at funerals, whiob were always voluntarily rendered. We oan assure the people of Seoforth that in him they have all that could be desired in a citizen. • Mole eeworth. VV ten, It 1s salsa 6ha6 au organ will be piaoed in the Preebyterien ohuroh.

Onrruesx.—Joseph Clegg, of this town- ship, received word of the death of bis brother Robert, who resided in Falls City, Nebraska. We take the following in reference to the deceased from the Falls City Journal, the Republican paper of the city. Mr. Clegg was a staunch Democrat and an active politician :— Robert Clegg died at his residence in Falls City, Monday, Febrnary 4th, of Bright's disease, aged 50 years and 4 months. He was ill only about three weeks. Mr. Clegg went West, first set- tling in Indiana, where he married ; then he moved to Missouri for a time, and in 1871 went to Nebraska, locating in Falls Oity, where be carried on the business of shoemaking for a couple of years. He then purohased a drug business in the city and continued to carry it on until his death. In 1876 he was a candidate for county traaeurer, and was defeated by one vote, and in 1881 be was defeated by only nine votes for the same office. He was elected Mayor of Falls City five different times, and hie administration of the oity's affairs was, marked by that executive ability and honesty of purpose which was aharaoteristio of "Bub." He has been chairman of the Democratic) county central committee (with a few in- terims) ehnoe 1874. Also member of the state committee, delegate to the national convention and was the acknowledged leader of his party in this county and one of the recognized counsellors of his party in the state. Tbo'Republioan party re- cognized him as a formidable, though al. ways honorable, antagonist, and the party mingles its teems with those of our Demo- aratio friends in the loss of onein the prime of manhood, who was intensely loyal to his friends, whose life has never been stained by slander, a devoted friend, neighbor, citizen, father and husband, a gentleman of unimpeachable oharaoter. Although starting humbly at the bottom, Mr. Clegg, through energy and economy, left hie family much valuable property, a 36,000 life ineurance policy and a good name. Mr. Clegg leaves a wife, a- son, two daughters, three brothers in Canada and a host of friends in grief and Borrow. Ge was a Mason and stood in the front range of the Order, and hie funeral was oonduoted by the fraternity.

Cold was contracted remelting in kidney and lung trduble oaueing his death, at the early age of 21 years. John died in the fullest confidence of enjoying the rest beyond the river and his timely words of exhortation to all will no doubt bear fruit. About two years ago deoeased was seriously ill but he regained his health and appeared to be hearty and strong. The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon, Rev. G. H. Cobblediok con. dusting the service. The relati vee ars sympathised wflith in their bereavement. Tn h' t let 1 for l RG 6e tho Breeag g Herald for 611 ��jjriug Sale- Tor Exeter.

On Wednesday evening a horse belong- ing to John Frayne, while left standing in front of H. Spaokman'e hardware store untied, walked in on the sidewalk, and its feet being badly balled with snow it slipped and fell 6o the ground and in getting up its head wens through the large plate glass.

We understand that Charles Bozell and family will remove to the State of Michigan, where Mr. Rozeli will continue farming. He was over to Uncle Sam's territory this Winter visiting relatives and thinks he oan do better there than here. It will be e, matter of sincere re. gret to many to know that the step is fully decided upon. One of our fellow citizens with his wife, who started out lately to visit some of his friends in his own ueighborhond with his sleigh, concluded to take the fields for a short out. Els hadn't gone far when he got stranded in a big snow bank, either through their being too heavy or the snow being ton deep. How., ever, nothing daunted, he undid the doubletree and after a few ineffectual efforts he managed to get the horses to terra firma and securing a chain, he fastened ono end to the tongue, the other to the doubletree and succeeded in extrioating his better half with sleigh and went on hie way rejoicing.

Its Head Rendered a Vol– cano of Fiery, Itching, Burning Pains. So speaks Maxwell Johnson, 112 Ann St., Toronto : My six-year-old daughter, Bella, was afflicted with eczema for 24 months, the principal seat of eruption be- ing behind her ears and on her face ; her bead was on fire with painful, burning itching, whiob was made worse by con- stant scratching and tearing it with her hands. We spent money without stint in constant endeavor to afford the little sufferer relief, every advertised remedy was tried ; innumerable treatments with eoaps and medicines and specific treat- ment by physicians having high endorse- ments in curing such disease were of uo relief in her Daae. A short time ego I purohased a box of Dr. Chase's Oint- ment, the first application of which showed the curative effeot of the oint- ment ; only one half of the box bas been anted, with the marked change of an entire disappearance of the eruptions, and I can confidently say my child is permanently cured.
