Death of Rev. Wm. Torrance,
Paisley received a terrible shook on
Wednesday night when the word flew'
from mouth to mouth that Rev. Mr..
Torrance, .the pastor of the Methodist
thumb, bad just died. Many refused to
credit the report, for only an hour or two
before be had driven up street with Mr.
Taylor, and Boon orowdo were rushing to
the parsonage to ascertain the truth.
The shocking intelligence was only too
sadly verified upon reaobing there. In`
the afternoon Mr. Torrance bad conduct-
ed the funeral service of Mrs. J. Pearee's
young eon, and ona'the way borne he was
told by Mr. Bain wbo had issued the li,
cense, that a couple were waiting to be
married: Mr. Bain, on Mr. Torrance's
invitation, accompanied the young couple
to the parsonage, and on reaching there
found him in terrible pain. Hs com-
plained of hie head, and seemed almost
unable to perform the ceremony. of mar-
riage. After Mr. Bain came home, his
clerk, kir. Monkman, went npto the
parsonage, to which the doctors had al-
ready been summoned. He continued to
suffer intensely for souse time until sup•
per was announced, when, being easier,
the doctors 'went down stairs. Mr..
Monkman and Mrs. Torrance remained
with the sufferer, and shortly after the
dilators went down stairs they noticed an
nnmistalcal,le change for the worse. The.
peculiar Omen of death could be heard in
the throat, and the countenance became
pyrple, and almost ,before the medical
men could be summoned he passed away.
All evening lle'had persisted in the be.
lief that his end was near, and when et
last it olosed in, upon him he summoned
bis remaining strength to say to his wife
that he had tried to preach ()lariat as the
hope of a lost world; and that to trim he
oommended his soul..
All Wednesday night and until his re.
mains were carried to their last resting
place, intense excitement reigned in the
town, His popularity with all Wastes
was great, and with his unique personal-
ity there was an abtraotiveness hard to
resist. It was therefore little wonder
that his death, aopompanied as it wait by
all its:harrowing details, should create' a
profound sensation.
The Hamilton Conference, whioh ryas
fn soasioc, and which he was to attend
the following day, pawed a beautiful re.
solution of condolence, and despatched
Rev. Jacob S. Howell, Nf. A., of Acton,
to represent them at the funeral. His
son Willie, of ilfilverton, and his twin
brother John, started at 10 o'clock that
night from Milverton and reached Pale•
ley an the morning. Very few who saw
this brother did not receive a shook. It
is impossible to aoneefve a more striking
sitniliarityin appearance between men.
The geebure, carriage, gait, expression of
countenance, all are idontioal with those
of the deceased minister, and whs0 be

tones, and the expression are et) identical
with those of his brother that it' only
serves to iuteneify the fe.oielresemblance.

Granville Co. He was of 'Irish parent.

occupied in eucoeeaion were MoKeller,

vous prostration paused him great pain

The funeral to the station on Friday
morning was a very large one. Rev. Mr•
Howell conducted a service at the ponce
and at the station' the Foresters took
charge of the remains As the train
drew ont of the station the crowd sang
"In 'the Sweet Bye and.Bye,".a favorite
hymn of the deceased. Several mem-
bers of the 0. 0. F., of the Methodist
ohuroh, and several clergymen aoaom•
fauied the remains. At Listowel about
ourteenForestere from the Gerrie lodge,
to which ha belonged, boarded the train,
and to them the arrangements were
handed over. 'Ab Milverton another
large concourse bad gathered, About
150 Foresters headed the procession, his
six brothers noting as bearers, and after
interment the cortege returned to the.
Presbyterian church, which was draped,
and where bhe clergymen delivered ad -
drones.
Mr. Torrance was a man of marked
personality. He was a man who would
always attract attention by his original-
ity and unconventionality. His sym-
pathies were wonderfully wide, and we
have seldon seen a clergyman who had
such commiseration for the "submerged
tenth." This was rendered the more
conepiciotis by his Hibernian tenderness
of heart. To the poor or the distreeeed
he was a faithful visitor. In the pulpit
be was even more affective. He never
blinked an issue. When be struck he
struck with all the energy of his nature.
His scathingrebuke of popular sine were
remarkable for their pungency and point.
He had also a wide command of Scrip-
ture, which his remarkablememory en•
abled him to use to great advantage.
Personally he nae beloved by his congre•
gation. There was not a particle of cleri-
cal assumption about him, and he was
always approachable to his Sock. To`,
hit young people hestood almost se an
elder brother, so active were his sym-
pathies with all their lxopee and aspir-
ations. A singularly powerful and forci-
ble exponent of Gospel truth is removed
in his death.—Paisley, Advocate.

.8. few weeks later we watched them
preparing one of slide "bop dinners," A
stone cube of about fifteen inches, hol-
lowed in one of its sides toan extent of.

was produced. A froom piooe of the best

beaten. until it was reduced to pulp, then
a quantity of the medium meal was pas-

added to the beaten meat with two heads'

other spiooe, and the whole were beaten

lamp of dough. Those who had a mind
to, were helped to a piece of this kibbe
(this is what they call it) ;' they ate it
raw. Tho rest of the kibbe was then
made into triangular, round and oval-
shaped cakes ; some of them were broil-
ed on live charcoal, othersbroiled ie
broth, others were fried ssetbine in fat
or oil and then served along with radishes
and leavened milk. Roast beef and plum
