Mrs. Letitia Creighton Yourneus,'hon. ovary president of the W. 0, T, U., and Canadele most prominent lady 'temper- ance worker, cued on Saturday et her residence, 10 Metcalfe street, Toronto, Mrs. Youmans had shout reached the allotted open 08 life, having been born Tan. 3, 1827, and being oonsequently in her 70th year, Tho little village of Baltimore, some few miles North of 'Cobourg, in the 00011- 08 Northumberland, has the honor of being her birthplace. She was of ]nixed parentage, her father being Irish, and her 10811er an American of Etowah extrac- tion. Her father, John Creighton, was ono of the early pioneers of this country. Letitia began her school life ab the ago of 4, being sent to an old log school house under the tuition of a Yankee school- master. Here she learned those temper. ance principles which she had ever eine advocated, and signed the pledge. At great personal sacrifice her father remov- ed her to a ladies' school opened hi Co- bourg by Prof. Von Norman. Ab the age of 20 she oredibably graduated, mud began teaching in her own sohodl section. Here, as at Piston Ladies' Academy, where she afterwards taught, she strove in every way to inogloatethoseprineiplee to which she devoted her long and useful life. She married in 1850 Thomas Youmans, an ardent supporter in her work, In 1874 she first became interested in 'concerted temperance action, assisting in the organization of the. W. 0. T. U. in the United States. Returning, she began her work in this country by petitioning the Platen town council against the is. suing of shop licenses. She addressed the council board, but the petition was thrown oat. Undismayed, she continued ties work, addressing large audiences at Montreal, Cobourg, Port Hope and in Toronto, . where she camp to live. Here she spoke under the auspices of the Tem- peranceReformation Society in churches, pobliohalls, at the Central Prison and at the Haven. She also addressed large rneetings at Cincinnati and assisted to form unions at Hamilton, Dundas, Lan- don, Brantford and other places. Mrs. Youmans campaigned energeti- cally for tho Dunkin Act in Port Hope and Cobourg, and was also active in the Scott Act agitation a few years later. In 1833 she went to the Old Country as a delegate from the Canadian W. 0. T. U., toured the Pacific coast in 1880, and in both places her reception was most cor- dial and the impressions she left very favorable. In 1888 she was stricken with inflam- matory rheumatism, and was a sufferer from that disease up till her death. She was on intimate terms with Lady Henry Somerset and Frances Willard, and has for years beeu president- of the W. C. T. U. of Ontario. Referring to the deceased, Miss Willard wrote : "By her groat gifts as a speaker, her remarkable energy and effective work, she did more than any other woman 90 lack„ the W. C. T. U. a force in Canada. Clear and logical in her appeals, Mrs. Youmans was never so offer:Hy° as on her favorite theme of "borne protection." Her addresses, founded on the books of Esther and Nehemiah, aro among the' most forcible appeals ever uttered for the prohibitory law." The remains were taken on Monday to Pioton for burial on Wednesday. Grey Council Meeting. Council met at Beak's Hotel, Gran - brook, on July 18th, pursuant to the pall of the Reeve.

Babb teas called and at once he set to work in a soientifio manner to rostot'e animation, the baby being taken in hand by several ladies, who rubbed it and applied restoratives, soon bringing it round again. But with the mother the job Was not so easy, and for nearly an hour it looked as though the help wee too late. But at last a moan was heard and then the redoubled efforts were rewarded by returning oon- eciouenese, the first words being a omit for "my baby." A dootor had arrived meanwhile and with the help of the ofii• dors of the boat and some of the ladies the poor woman was soon fit to be re. moved to her home.
