ANOTnEn amp BnoInonrn GONE, --An. other old pioneer of Grey has crossed the bourne from whence no traveller returns in the person of Robert Mononaid, who paused away on Thursday of last weak. Mr, McDonald was born in the Pariah of Rogart in Sutherlandehire, Scotland, in August, 1821 and with hie deceased partner emigrated to this country in 18 55, first settling in the village of Doon, near Galt, where he lived for about two years, when he removed to the lot ooh. of Grey, thea a wilderness, where after years of toil and hardship he hewed out a home for himself, aided by hie noble partner in life. During the first few ye0ra be had to go as far as Galt to pro. oure his flour, and in several iastanoee had to foot it to Seaforth, a distanoe of 25 miles, to get the neee-eeries of life. The subjeot of this notice was upright and honorable in all his dealing, and was ranch respeoted by all who know him. In religion he was a Presbyterian and in politics a etaunob Liberal, although a relative of the late Sir John A. McDon- ald. He was in poor healthfor the last five years of hie life and was a great sufferer for the haat two yeare especially, bot he bore it all with the fortitude of a Christian in which he was assisted by a strong oonetitutiou. On the 28th of February he took a paralytic etroke and from that time be gradually Bank until. death relieved him. He leaves behind him four sons and two daughters to mourn bis loos. The remains were in- terred in the Molesworth cemetery on Saturday afternoon. Rev. Mr. Ballan- tyne conducted the service. The bereay. ed family have the sympathy of the entire community. ltilnra la.

CIIEEeE FAOTORY MATTERS.—As there are stemma' repot•ts going the rounds con- cerning Brussels and Ethel ohoese fao• tories, I wish to state the following par - Honiara which I believe to be faote :—The auditors of Ethel faototy, who did the work in a few hours, stated that it only took 10.9 ibe. of milk to make one pound of cheese, but a second audit, after the report was printed, showed 11,28 to be the necessary quantity. The reason I make this correction ie that attnvaeeing has been done on the strength of the printed report, whioh is deceiving to the public and also untrue. Brocade factory did not pretepd to rook° ahem last sea. eon at 10.9, but has truthfully stated the case as it was. Thanking yea,' Mr. EC tor, I am, GREY EARtt=n. Wroxeter.

She was a bright, intelligent person whose impress was left bn her family.," Mr. Bruce's second wife was Miss Ann Crosti, of Peel, to whom he was married over 26 yeare ago, and who now survives him. The subject of this notice was only ill for a short time, daring a goodly portion of which he was 0n00000ione, He woe a bighearted man, who never refused a helping hand to those in need. His attaobmeot to the Metho- dist ohuroh was very strong and many a Methodist preacher found a comfortable home under hie roof. 20lr. Brutus resided in Brussels for a number of years mud name book to Bluevale on account of hav- ing property here. The funeral took place on Friday afternoon and was very largely attended, upwards of 60 members of the Canadian Order of Foresters being in the prooeosion. A very impresobee funeral service wail conducted in the Methodist oburob. The pastor, Rev, J.
