BODY Raeovinuen.--Everyboily felt very thankful last Sunday when it eves announooa that the body of Miss Clegg had been found by 4 men in boats who wero searching about 10 utiles Clown the river from where the aooident occurred. Her hair had caught in the branches of a fallen tree and by this slender hold her body was kept there. The remains wero carried into the stone school house where they were prepared for btirial and afte" being placed in the casket were taken to her parent's los• idenee, Sunday night. It is general• ly conceded that the body weut a good dietenee down the river on the evening of the accident and all tile' searching uear where the boat upset Wits consequently fruitless, The body was considerably swollen and her face lost mach of the natural appear ance. Tbo funeral took place on Monday afternoon and was the larg- est gathering ever knowu in this lo- cality. 150 vehicles were counted' be- sides hundreds of people wile walked to the cemetery. • The interment was made at Sunshine. The.fuuerai ser- vice was eondueted at the 1louso by Rev. J. S. Fisher, assisted by Heyde. Messrs: Burwash, of Belgrave, and Smyth, of Brussels, and F. Woodhull, of the Band. An apprppriato dis- course eats preached from the text "She hath given op the ghost ; her atm went dots when it was yet day." Mr. Clegg and family have the ournful satisfaction of now know- ing the resting place ofboth soul find body of their loved one. It to not necessary to say the sympathy of everybody is with the families of Mr. Clegg end Mrs. Baines. There has never been anything happened in,this locality that took snob a hold on the people at large. trer!`esabrooDr. Chas.

The ap• pointmenbis a good One. The Wingbaru Advance says :— The mnnieipelity of the township of Turuberry has, during the past week, lost an old, triedaud honored mom- ber,iu the parson of Jas.. Heoniug, who for years held the position of depnbyreeve, and for five years pre• nous to, and of the time of bis death, hold the position of reeve. The de- ceaeed was born in the county of Corn- wall, England, ou the 5th of March, 1821, and same to Canada wheu nine. teen yearn of age. He first • lived in Wolfe Island, where he resided several years ; was married in Kingston, and after residing in Clarke live yeare, re- moved intoTurnberry, where he has continually resided until his death on Thursday last. We can truly 'say he was a most industrious, painstaking and persevering man, a true type of the Cordell men of old, who history Saye, matched to London to demaud from a powerful and despotic monarch the reason why their faithful and doughty champion, Sir John Trelawuy, should be sacrificed at the altar of despotism and treachery. With him right and not might prevailed, and imbued with this souse, coupled with, his qualifice- tione of,tionest and perseverance, he as a rule succeeded in carrying his point and seeing justice done to all. Ho was a mast unassuming man, and one "Whose manly strength wan grated with He had the happy power to please." tease, So high was he hold in the estimation of his neighbors that he was solicited to till the honorable pont of deputy. reeve, which he held until the reeve (ilir. Black) svitbdrew in January, when by acolatnation be was elected to fill the chair of the chief magistrate of the municipality. How ably he filled this is well knowu. Although "there are as good fish in the sea Cas over came out," we aro bold enough to say that no more practical, faith-' ful and unassumingly useful man can be found to fill the reeve's abair and command the respect of the council, and the harmonious and satisfactory conduct of the township business, both at his own board and at the comity council. In politica he wad a staunch Conservative, and his loss will be keenly felt by his party in the township, He leaves a widow, three sons and four daughters to mourn his loss, who are all grown up and amply provided for 'in this world's goods.
