No services will be held in the Town Hall or Evangelical church nest Sabbath, as Rev.

It is ex- pected that the church in Zurich will be ready for holding services in it again in a week from next Sunday. The church has undergone a thorough renovation during the past few weeks. A handsome metal ceiling has been put in, the walls nicely papered and everything giv- en a coat of paint and varnish. The new windows also imprve the alt. pearanee inside as well as outside. The woodwork on the outside of the church has been painted, a new cement walk and steps built along the front, and the fence taken away. All this has added to the neatness and good appearance of the church: Mr. and Mrs. William Hess, of Pontiac, Mich., are visiting -friends and relatives here this week. Mrs. Abel Schilbe and family spent the past week with her par- ents, who live at the 16th con. ',qr. W. Clark returned to his home in Hamilton on Tuesday, after a pleasant visit at C.

The bridge across the creek a short distance south of St. Joseph has been repaired and is now safe for public travel. Pike fishing is getting to be a popular pastime with some of our citizens. This fish is caught in the river below the Bend and there is much sport in capturing the big ones that are sometimes caught. Mr. J. J. Merner returned from his trip through the West last Fri- day. He sold 400 acres of his land and purchased 800 acres in another part while out there. Mr. Merner now owns over 2000 acres of land in the Western provinces. On Monday while Mr. John Gal- ster, of this village, was chopping wood at his home here, the axe in some way came in contact with his foot cutting a deep gash, which re- quired a number of stitches to close. It will lay him off work for some time. Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Hess, and son, George, left for the "Pinery" on Tuesday, The 'Pinery" is an ideal place for • spending a few weeks in camping and fishing and Mr. Hess is no amateur in this line.

The death of Reuben Hamacher, which took place at Loon Lake, a summer resort near Port Arthur, Ont., on Monday, July 23rd, was a great shock to his many relatives and friends here, as a letter receiv- ed from Mrs. Hamacher a few days before stated that all were well and having a nice time. But "in the midst of life there is death." Mr. Hamacher had not been feeling well for some time past and it was proposed to visit his wife's sister Mrs. Demuth, at Port Arthur, for a few months for a rest. A few days before his death the party went to Loon Lake to spend a few days camping. A pleasant time was spent, and on Monday Mr. Frank Rouke and family of Port Arthur went down to the camping place, and in a short time the work of putting up a camp was commen- ced. Mr. Hamacher entered into the work with enthusiasm, assist- ing Mr. Rouke in, erecting his tent. He was employed in sawing a stump off when suddenly he drop- ped over. As soon as he was seen to fall, those standing nearby rush- ed to his assistance but he never regained consciousness. He had passed away with heart failure. The remains were taken to Port Arthur and reached Zurich last Thursday evening. By the death of Mr. Hamacher, Zurich loses a respected and valuable citizen. He was a barber by trade and was a span who attended strictly to his business. Always courteous and obliging he had gained a strong hold on the affections of his many friends. Out of a family of four, only his widow now survives, and she has the sincerest sympathy of her many friends in her sad be- reavement. The funeral on Friday last was largely attended, and was conducted by the A. O. U. W., of which lodge the deceased was a member, interment taking place in the Bronson Line cemetery, Rev. A. D. Gischler preached a very strong sermon at the funeral ser- vices, ohoesing for his text the -words, "Spare Inc." Wednes- visit re - Crediton her aunt, Mrs. D. 5, Faust has been serious- ly ill, but we are pleased to state that she is much improved. Mrs. R, Richardson and son, Gor- don, visited relatives and friends in and around town : last week. Mr. W. J. Hall, blacksmith, has purchased the house and lot at Blake, owned by Mrs;, Sarah Agnew. Our town is getting good. A whole week and no one arrested. But there is always a: calm before a storm. Mrs. Mary Demuth of Port Arthur arrived here'last Thursday to attend the funeral of the late R. Hamacher. When Zurich gets those two railways and is made a port on that canal, there ought to be "some doings" here surely. Mr. and Mrs. Logie, and the Misses Minnie and Mina Doan re- turned on Wednesday from a. trip throdgh the Thousand Islands in Lake Ontario. One day last week Chas. Fritz and W. Clark were pike.fishiug be- low the Bend and Charlie landed a big fellow, which measured 28 inches long and weighed 5% lbs. Charlie generally has luck in cap- turing anything big in the game or fish line. The farmer, if he only knew it, is a little nearer the kingdom of heaven than anyone on earth. He is certain of three squire meals a day, and is the only a kru who can fence himself in and line in- spite of the rest of mankind. A few cat- tle and sheep and fowl provide him with food and clothing, while his fields yield him flour and a source of revenue. So generous are these provisions and so common, that hardly one farmer in ten makes any account of them, although the ordinary business man thinks he has done well when he reaches the end of the year and finds that he has a little more than made ends meet.
