History of the Wardenship.—The
history of the wardenship of Huron
county is i'n'teresting. The record's
show that Dr. William Dunlop was
the first warden and served in that
capacity for seven years, 1841-47. Dr.
(William Chalk of .Tuckersmith held
the office for .a sinnilar period, 1847-
53. John Strachan of Goderich, had
only one year in the office, and fol-
lowing him, John Holimes, of Goder-
ich'township served for four years,
11855-88. (Robert Gibbons, afterwards
sheriff of Huron, was warden for 13
years, his terns extending unbrokenly
from 18519 to 11871. It was during the
Gibbons term that 'Huron, which had
been united with Bruce county, and
at a still earlier period' with Penth
county, was separated, .thenceforth
pursuing its municipal history alone,
'Arch. Bishop of Lts:borne was warden
for two years, 1372.73, and William
Young of Colborne for a similar per-
iod, '1'874-75.
er-iod,'1874-75. Since 1875 the wardens.
have had only a single year in the of-
fice.

Seaf o rth Lady Is Descendant
Of Dr.
•
The passing of Mrs. Malcolm Fer- ;most unbroken forest for . miles' a-
guson in British Columbia last' week
recalls the fact that she and her sist-
er Mrs. George Brown o'f'Seaforth are
daughters of a near reiation of the
great Dr, 'Chalmers, whose name is
commemorated in the names of many
present clay churches in all ,parts. of
the world. Their mother, Mrs. D.
Moore, died in March, 1'888, and her
obituary notice, gave the following
particulars: "There is always some-
thing sad associated with the death of
every person, but the circumstances
connected with the death of Mrs.
Moore, wife of Mr. D. Moore, sr., of
Egmondviiie, are peculiarly so. She
was in'her usual health up to Sun-
day last, and was'in Seaforth the day
previous attending to her domes'tic
affairs and about 8 o'clock on Sun-
day evening she had a severe attack
of illness. About three o'clock in the
morning she breathed her last,` her
daughter ;being at her bedside., Mrs.
Moore, whose maiden name was Isa-
bella Chalmers,
sa-belia-Chalmers, was a near relation
of, the great Dr. Chalmers,' the found-
er of the !Free Church of Scotland.
Like the old doctor; she was a native
of Fifeshire, Scot'land. She had reach-
ed the advanced age, of 77 years, past
the` promised time, hence her death
has not ;been premature. She, was a
Pietas lady ansi a consistent aneniber
of the Presbyterian church. It is
believed by all'; who knew her that'
she was prepared for the sudden call
and not afraid 'to die. She gave an
example to her children and was ever
ready with .good advice,'which they
would all do well to remember and
follow. She leaves her aged 'partner
in life behind to ` mourn her . loss,

at their new home, his brother James
died. Mrs. Moore was a relative df
the celebrated Dr. Chalmers, of Edin-

position and genial manner and was
