OnanAn2.—The following item clipped from the, Stayner Sun, of July 25th, re- fers to tire. Geo. Dobson's father :—The late Mr. McKay was born in the parish of Bay, County o.0 Caithness, Scotland, in 1830. His parents moved when be ir was a child to Halkirk, where he lived until of age, at which time he joined the police of Edinburgh. When about . twenty-seven years old he creme to Can- ada and settled ia the township of Sun- nidale. In 1868 he was married to Miss • Flora Shaw, daughter of John Sbaw, who survives him. Be had six children, 'all OF whom are living, viz. :—Robert, Mary, (101ra. Dobson, of Ethel, Huron Co.) John, Angus, Catherine and Donald. The deceased, who was a tnember of the Presbyterian ohuroh and an ardent sup. porter of the Reform party, was a man of sterling integrity and greatly respect- ed by all who knew him. He was taken sidle on Wednesday evening of last week and died on Sunday morning. The • funeral took plane on Tuesday afternoon, when a vary large procession followed the remains Go the Stayner cemetery, where • Bev. It—Pope performed the last sad rites of burial. Wroxeter. Jos. Leech, of Bluevale, was in town on Tuesday. Miss L. A. Doty, of Oakvill ,e is visit- ing her eister'Mrs. (Rev.) W. E. Kerr. Mrs, Thos. Evans and Masters Gordon and Joe returned Wednesday from a six week's visit to Detroit. Tom Hamphill,:11. Miller, Will. Sander - eon and John Hupfer wheeled to Strat- ford Tuesday to see Barnum's big show. 10 was well worth the trip, the boys say. The union pio.nio held in Dr. Smale a grove on Thursday afternoon of last weak AP• was a, very enjoyable affair. The Pres- byteriern, Methodist and Episcopalian a schools shared in the pleasures of the day. ' The children's races were hotly contested. It was unanimously pronounced the best of the annual union pio-nies. It is not often the "Unione" find in a local team, opponents worthyof their best eudeavore, but in last Monday's game the "Browns," of Ilarriston, proved how hard it is for even a (track team to keep near them. Rain interfered with the comple- tion of the game but had they played to a finish it would undoubtedly have footed • up one of the biggest games of the season. The extreme cold of Tuesday evening • proved an effectual damper to the League • garden peaty announced to be held on W. 0. HazIewood'e commodious lawn. Not • more than three score persons gathered and these took shelter in.cloore. The at. tendanee was not the measure of the en- joyment, however, and till midnight the • young folks put in a lively time. Geoege Brown's solo and Rev. E. A. Shaw's speech were special features in the enjoy- ment of the evening. The Salem re -opening services ou Sun- day last were a grand themes. At 10.30 a. ni. and 7 p. on. the ohuroh was crowded to listen to able discourses delivered by Rev, D. A. Shaw, the late respected pas- tor of Wroxeter oirouit. All were pleas- ed with the improvements made. The walls and ceiling have been fresooed in two (miens with stencil border about the windows, doors and oeiling. All the in- • terior wood -work has been neatly painted or stained and varnished. The choir and • pulpit platform and the chancel have been newly carpeted and the pulpit upholster- ed in plinth. ' Shirk a Rogers, of Wing- hatn, did the fresooinganci E'zra, Mickley the piloting. Both jobs are well done. The Epworth League, under the auspices of which the work was' done, deserves great credit for the • thergy displayed. 'Under the presidency of Hugh Thomson and with the consecrated earnestness die - played by all the officers and membere, this League githe promise of great thinge for the futtlre• t.„ Despite hooting citizene, vulgar Mali boys and e iop.sideti umpire with money On the game, the "Unioue" gave Gode. 63013 base ballieta a sound drubbing en Thursday of last week, the 50060 etanding 11 to 11 in favor of "our boye."

About 1,500 epeotatore witnessed the Bret defeat this year and the third defeat in two years of the Goderioh 'loathe)! Club. The Unions of Wroxeter and Gor• rie did It at the County town en Thurs- day of last week. The playing through. 0077 was of the swifteet kind, very few errors being made on either side, The battery of the Unions was very heavy, and the base running of Goderioh fault. less. All in all it was the meet exciting and interesting game ever witnessed here.
