Alexander McKenzie, the Toronto man who is supposed to have been murdered at Cleveland by the woman with whom he was living, turns out to be a Scotch - man, 50 years of age, who in early man- hood taught school at SV ia ham and was R subsequently stationed at Godaxioh and other towns in the Huron district. In 1888 he went to Toronto, where he secur- ed employment on the G. T. R., residing with his wife and family on Rose avenue. Four yeare ago he removed to Cleveland, where he obtained a responsible position with the Pennsylvania Company. It was arranged during the Spring of 1894 that Mrs. McKenzie and the four children were to join him, but the husband notiii. ed them not to go until the fall of 1895. Mrs. MoKenzie thought the message peculiar and commenced investigating with the result that she ascertained that be had become enamored of another woman whom he had married and was then living with. She thereupon decided to have nothing further to do with him. This woman it is who is now under ar- rest for causing McKenzie's death. The woman IS Mrs. Lottie ldveringham, whose maiden name was Case. Greer•. Township Council next Tuesday at Ethel. John Brown pulled a stalk of rye on his farm this week that measured 4 feet.

Wnnnn To VOTE.—As the arrangement and numbers of polling places in Morris for the Dominion eleotion is not similar to the mnnioipal, the following list will be of practical interest to readers of Two POST. The dividing ling ds the centre sideroad, The centre division, Township Hall, runs aoros0 the township, taking all of con, 6 and the north half of eon. G. Polling plates will be ; No. 17—Gosman'e sohool house ; No. 18—Button's school house ; No. 19—Townehip L•Iall ; No, 20—Isbister's sohool hoose ; No. 21—Anderson's sohool house. This gives two polling pluses in the north, one in the centre and two in the south. The numbers oorreepond with the printed numbers on the Dominion voters' list, GAuocoe Paurv.—Tueerlav evening a garden party was held at Jno. Mooney's under the auspices of the Fife and Drum Band.

'Tho fol. lowing address was recd by Jas.

Regret in knowing that the pleasant associations of past years are to be broken by your removal from our church and locality ; pleasure that we meet to express our best thanks to you for your 8 or 9 years of panotual, efficient and faithful service as Organist. We wish to show. you in a mote tangible manner than words that we highly esteem your efforts in aiding public worship, so ask your acceptance of this gold hunting cased watch as a mem- ento of our regard. We hope it will often remind your of your many friends at Sunshine, and as ib faithfully marks the hour of the day may it recall to your mind the words of the Master, "Be thou faithful nntll death." May your future be happy, useful and prosperous', and when the partings of this Iife are over may we all meet to sing the song of the redeemed in the Church Triumphant. Miss Wlkineon made an appropriate reply in whiolt she warmly and affection- ately returned thanks for the kind words and the beautiful gift, which she would always prize very highly. The company spent a very enjoyable time and separ- ated, wishing the Wilkinson family many happy years in tbeir new home. The watch was purchased from T. Fletcher, Brussels, and has all the latest improve- ments. Ge orri1e,. W. J. Perkins and family have remov- ed to Ower Sound, where Mr. Perkins will go into business. Last weak W. H. Clegg antifamily, old residents of Gerrie, left for Sault Ste. Marie, where they purpose reoiding. Rev. Josias Greene, a former pastor, gave an interesting lecture Tuesday evening on "A Trip to the European Con- tinent," in the Methodist church. The Orangemen of this section have decided to drop the idea of holding a celebration bete on July 12th, and will probably join their brethren at Brussels. Dr. W.J. Armstrong, of Fullerton, ae- companied by his wile and daughter, were visiting for a few days at J. Arm• strong's, V. S., returning home on Mon- day last. Walter Maguire, aged 22, son of Thos. Maguire, of the township of HOwiok, committed suicide on Friday evening, by hanging himself in his father's barn. No reason can be assigned. Everything is quiet in tho political line as yet. No doubt there is an undercur- rent that will yet break out before the 16011 pros. The Conservatives feel handi• capped by the weight of the Remedial plank and are therefore not very en- thusiastic. Rev. Mr. Mason halt rseiguedhis charge theSalem and ninth in connection with line Congregational churches and will shortly remove to a new field of labor. Mr. and Mrs. Mason will be greatly miss- ed in Gerrie, ae they were highly e0teem. ad by all who bad the pleasure of their acquaintance. Our beat wishes go with. them. W. Hammond has erected a verandah in front of his residence, wbieh adds much to Be comfort and appearance. R. Rose has recently repainted his residence and the addition of a handsome new fence makes the piece present a beautiful appearance. Who will be the next to do something that will add to the beauty of our already handsome village ? Frank L. Pollock, who has been a con- tributor both of prose and poetry to 00030 of the leading Canadian journals, has made an engagement to furnish a aeries of articles on the situation in Cuba to Roma of the leading American newspa- pers. He left on Thursday of last week fur the seem of the rebellions island, go. ing by way of New York. No doubt on his return he will have many an advent- ure to relate. YOUNG - PEOPLE'S Saving Depository, In order to encourage the ohildren and olcler ones also to cavo their pennies or dollars I am prepared to receive deposits from 50. up to $50, payable on demand with interest at 6% per annum for all de- posited over one year, or 5% when for less time. Many children, and older ones too, would have quite a sum in a few years, and a handsome inuonie from the interest alone, if they would only save what too often is spent foolishly. Many are living to -day in rented houses who would have had a home of their own if the money they had spent iu tobacco alone had have been put out to interest instead. Let such begin now, "It is never too lite to menti." Not many are aware how rapid• ly small savings, put ont to interest, ao• oumdlatos, Farts and ligere0 mat's that $1 putout to interest at 6% half yearly foe 100 years amount(' to the surprising sum of $340. 6 cents saved eaoh day cud. put out to interest at 6% would in 20 years amount to 91,370, or in 50 years to 911,400. Many spend from throe to five times thie amount in strong gelid, tobac- co or agars, which is worse than wasted. Parents should onocinrago their child. ran to save and thereby e0tabiish the habit of economy. "Small leaks sink great ships," and 00 email savings amomtt to large ones in a short time, Every de- positor will reclaim a small pose book showing the amount of idea her deposit. Remember both intermit and principal or the interest only Dan be withdrawn at any time, and deposits of 5e. to 990.00 reoeived. G. A.
