PASSED SUDDENLY AWAY.— Wed- nesday afternoon of last week the community was sadly surprised to learn that John Mason, 2nd son of John and Margaret Mason, and an old and highly esteemed resident of Se Lot 26, Con, 3, Morris township, had been called to his reward, at the gond old age of 84 years, 6 months and 17 days. He left his home to go across a field to where members of the family were fixing fences and after chatting said he would walk along the line to- ward the Concession road to see where repairs were necessary. A half hour later the men following up tate fence found deceased's body cold in death. Apparently he had climbed over the fence, about 20 or 30 rods from where the folk were working, on to the eideroad, supposed with the intention of getting the mail from the box at the gate and the little exertion proved too much for his heart, which had troubled him for some time and he passed away without a struggle. A little hill intervened so that the exact particulars will never be known by those who were near by. Tenderly he was borne to the house which he had left an hour previous apparently en- joying a fair measuire of health, It was a great shock to the family, es- pecially Mrs. Mason, who has attained. her 80th year. Mr. Mason was born at Papa, Westray Isle, one of the Orkney Islands, on October 18th, 1831, and after following fishing for a few years came to Canada when 21 years of age, making his home in Beverly township. Waterton County, he work• ed on the railroad for a time then followed farm labor in the Winter and sailed on a boat running from Triton to to Kingston clueing the Sum- mer. In 1855 he _came Westward to Hallett township, Huron Co, and on August 18th 180 he wine tnnftied to 16 b U, Mies Jane Watt, settling on Lot 5, Con. 0, where they imide their home until 1882, when they ineved to Lot 26, Con, 8, Morris township, whew they have continuously resided, The subject of this entice was a hind hus- band; loving father and good neigh - bo'. He was a member of the Peee- byterian church and a Liberal in politics. In addition to his widow he is survived by 3 sons, (John, SVawan- oslt ; William, 1lullett and Alex, at home) and 5 daughters, (tors. Jas. M. Martin, Clinton ; ells, Hugh Moses, Morels ; Mrs. John Hill, Portage la Prairie ; Mrs, Joseph Hogg, Morris ; and Mrs, Hugh McEiwhern, Holstein,) all of whom were present at the funer- al last Saturday, exoeptiug ides, I•lill. Service of a most appropriate chaeac- ter was conducted at the home and at Burns' church, Hallett, where inter- ment was made, by deceased's pastor•, Rev. A. J'. Menu, 13. A„ Brussels. Pall beavers were ;—Janes Ireland, Geo. Henderson Walter Yuill n W t. Taylor, John Belgium and Charles Lowrie.

ENTERED INTO REST.—Friday of last week there passed away, happily and peacefully, at the home of her son Joseph, 8th line, Morris township, Catharine Woods, relict of the late Janes Grasby, a former resident of Con. 10, Hallett township, for over 50 years, aged 89 years. She was born in Ireland and married over 50 years ago, residing in H:ullett up to 6 weeks before her demise when she came to her son's as above stated. Although frail she was only ill a few days, old age being the cause of her death. Mr. Grasby died last August, aged 92 years. Four sons survive, Joseph and Tarries, Morris township ; Chas., Blyth and Thomas on the homestead, Hallett. The funeral took place Sun- day afternoon and was conducted by deceased's pastor, Rev. 0. 0. Keine, Londesbo•o, who spoke words of good cheer to the bereaved and testified to the nobility of character and confident trust in God of the one now enjoying her reward. interment was made in Burns' cemetery, Hallett, alongside the partner of her joys and sorrows Inc'so many years.

Thursday and Friday evenings, April 27th and 28th, the well known entertainment, designated as The Temple of Fame, was presented in the Town Hall, Brussels, no less than 86 people taking part. The platform was enlarged and special seating ar- ranged on the stage so the numerous performers could be accommodated and although every foot of available space was well utilized the company crowded it to the limit. Notwith- standing this handicap everybody did their part splendidly and to the pleas- ure of the audiences who were by no means backward in showing hearty appreciation of the various characters. In the Temple of Fame the Goddess has coveted a crown of Fame to pre- sent and summonses the famous women of the past and present to ap- pear before her and state their claim, After many a plea has been well pre- sented for the sought for honor the Mother is presented with the laurel wreath by the Goddess, seconded by Queen Mary, amidst unanimous ac- clamation. Where all did so well, many of the parts being difficult, we do not pro- pose to make invidious comparisons more than to give the cast of charac- ters and a few notes and to say in passing that the selecting of those taking part was so well and carefully done that the personation in most in- stances was particularly applicable. The costumes, of course, added materially to the attractiveness of the play, many of them being very neat, and as Nature had generously dowered those seeking preferment the scene was a pretty one indeed.

The promoters were specially pleased to give place on the program to Miss Jean Michael, the petite elo- cutionist of Hamilton, who earned well melted recalls each evening. She will be very heartily welcomed back to Brussels on some other oo- medon. Miss Beatrice Whitfield, con- tralto soloist, who sang splendidly. and s Miss Lily Jackson, an youthful expert cu the violin, bad to respond to very en,phatic encores on each ap- pearance, kindly lent their help. Financial proceeds were quite satia- fauory. Although the general ad- mission was only 25c., the gross re- ceipts were over $150.00, leaving a balance after all expenses were paid for both nights, o1' over $125,00 which was duly handed over to Treaeurer Rowland for the benefit of the local Red Crow. The latter is very grate- ful teethe company for their much ap- preciated help and the very happy time they alTni,ted the public in the choice program. STARS WON ox THE UNCROWNED While only one crown was given, the audience made some awards as well as the Goddess, without disput- ing her good judgment, Here are some of theist Many of the costumes looked "swell." NTothing was lacking in the pages and the guards. Topsy's antics were well worth the admission fee alone. No one had less to say than the half dozen Silent Quakers. Its up to the mea of Brussels and locality to present as good a program. Miss Minerva Jones, as pianist and accompanist, performed her difficult part in A 1 style. The comic characters were par- ticularly funny and their costumes right up to style. Mrs. W. H. Kerc,was Directress and the telephone wires have hardly cool- ed off yet from No. 32. 37 Brusselites became "famous" by contributing 25c. each to have their names appear on the printed program. The Committee wish to heartily thank all who assisted in any way in the presentation of the program, pre - paving the Hall, &c. Announcing the candidates was distinctly done by the Herald and the trumpet call when royalty and a number of others were to appear gave a realistic tone to the part, A •good flashlight picture of the Company was taken Friday evening at the close of the program and the flower girls had their shadows cap- tured Saturday at the Free Studio. There is information and education as well as recreation and jollification in the presentation of The Temple of Fame and the entertainment will be long ands li:asautly remembered by those taking part and the audiences. 19 years ago The Temple of Fame was presented to a Brussels audience but the opinion of some who were present then and at the hast produc- tion pronounce in favor of the latter. "We'll never let the old flag fall" was well sung Friday evening, by F. 13. Gilroy, after the arrival of "Queen Victoria", the audience join- ing heattny in the chorus of this favorite patriotic song. Requests have been made to visit other points with the famous folk but as a railwaytrain would be required for transpration it was impossible to comply. It was well worth seeing and hearing nevertheless. The' children taking part did their parts excellently and the adults, par- ticularly Friday evening, deservedly won laurel wreaths in the varied characters represented in song, story and speech. No one .failed to score. If you weren't present you missed a good deal. To the Young Men of Huron DEAR Sea.—There are 13 Battalions recruiting within this Militaty dis- trial. Only two are junior to the 161st. Of the 13 Battalions 2— the Bruee and Middlesex are at full strength, while the renlainin 11 have about the saute number of enlistments 800 to 900.
