Tim F Fermi's Tesi.-The firenge

qualities whioh made him so universal-
ly popular in his own tolenship, made'
him iequally so with his brother Counti
Councillor, and in faot with every other
person with whom1eheld intercourse.
Hist death will be deeply'regretted by a
very large circle of friends. He leaves
a widow and five of a family to mourn
his irreparable loss. There are two
sons and three daughters, the eldest of
whom is about 25 years of age and the
youngest about six. Pecuniarily, all
have been liberally provided for by the
industry, good -management and fore-
thought of him, whose kindness to them
through life, althorigh it intensifies the
pain of present parting, will endear to
them his memory while life lasts. He
was interred in the Craribrook cemetery
on Sunday last, and the esteem in
which he was held was Well exempli-
fied by the immemie concourse of people
who followed his remains to their last
resting place, the, funeral being the
largest ever witnessed in the township
of Grey. '
-We have also to record the death
of Mr. Robert Scott, of this town, an-
other old resident of the county. He
came to Huron many years ago from
the county of Waterloo and settled in
Kinburn, where he oarried on the shoe-
making business. He continued' in
business there until about two years
ago when he came to reside in Seaforth.
He has been in feeble health for Some
time, but it was only within the last
few weeks that serious apprehensions
were entertained. The came) of his
death Was an affection of the heart. He
was a remarkably qniet man, but those
who were acquainted With him valued his
friendship highly. He was an eaten-
/sive reader, and, being possessed of a
retentive memory, few had greater
stores of general information. He was
the an enthusiastic Liberal in politics, and
for although he seldom took any active
to Part in political contests, it took a good
4 man to withstand him in argument.
de- He was ever a conscientious, honorable,
nt. well meaning, generous man, and those
de- who knew him most intimately were
those who esteemed him most highly.
The funeral took place on Wednesde.y,
and he was buried in the fatuity bury-
ing ground at Kinburn, where he had
for so many years resided.
-We regret to learn of the death of
Rev. P. McDonald, pastor of the Pres-
byterian Church at Point Edward. He
was a brother of Mr. Malcolm McDer-
mid, of this town, and Mr. Angus Mo.
Dermid, of the Huron Road. He was
highly esteemed, both as a clergyman
and as an individual, and his death is
deeply regretted by many warm friends
throughout Western. Ontario. He was
53 years of age and was never married.

mon, ex -De uty Reeve of the township
of Grey. This sad event took place at
his residence on Thursday afternoon of
last week. It was not at all tmexpect-

A PLEASANT EVENT. -On Wednesday
of last week Mr. Joseph Johnston was
married to Miss Jane Elliott, at Bel -
grave, by the Rev. Mr. Phillips, of that
village. After the interesting cere-
mony was concluded, the happy couple
and a large concourse of friends who
had witnessed the ceremony repaired to
the residence of John Elliott, Esq.,
father of the bride, where a most hearty
welcome -and a sumptuous repast
awaited them, and after the drive the
appetites of all were sufficiently sharp-
ened to enable them to do ample jus-
tice to the good things provided. In
due course the music was commenced,
and the "merry dance" began in earn-
est. The music was provided by Mr.
John McDonald, of Wingham, and his
excellent playing pleased and delighted
all who heard and enjbyed it. Dancing
was kept up with scarcely any inter,
mission until about four o'clock in the
morning, when the guests took their
departure for home, after wishing the
fair bride and gallant groom the great-
est of good luck and many happy years
of wedded bliss, and extending to the
kind and genial host and hostess the
most profuse thanks for their hospital-
ity and good cheer. This was one of
the genuine, good, old-fashioned wed-
dings, and the happy gathering will
be long remembered with -pleasure by
all who were present.-Oeut WHO WAS

WHAT A PEEPER HAS'' TO SAY. - Mr.
Editor, -Sir : In your issue of last
week I noticed a piece under the head
of "Temperance," stating that the
young people Of this place had re -organ-
ized the old temperance lodge. I beg
to say that that statement is not cor•
root, for they have no charter what-
ever from any Grand Lodge, and their
password, if they had one, had its ad-
vent inside the circle of this "noble so-
ciety," if one can call it such. And
this member of the lodge says they are
banded together against old alcohol to
drive him out of their midst. But I
was told by the worthy chief himself
that it was got up for a winter's fun,
and they were going to have a "bully
time." This member of the lodge says
that some parties were trying to mar
the progress of this "noble society." As
that includes me, I would say that on
that memorabfe night, I with several
others, was drawn thither by the sweet
and melodious strains of that instru-
ment of four strings that I love so well,
namely, the fiddle; also by the sound
of a number of No: 13 mudhooks falling
ever and anon on the floor. The win-
dows being up, and myself a little
curious, I thought I would take a peep
and see if it could be possible that the
trustees Would allow a place where di-
vine worship is usually carried on to be
used in that way, but I found instead
of a dance that it was this "noble so-
ciety" banishing old alcohol, and that
they had entered the hall without leave
from the truetees, but had induced a
child of one of the trustees to get, them
Ihe key, which he did like a little man.
t would kindly admonish them to leave
firearms at home in • the fame, if they
wish to save trouble, and not to be dis-
turbing the repose of the citizens of the
town. It does not look well to see
young men (for if they are not men in
size, they are in imagination) going to
such a respectable place with dark lan-
terns and revolvers, shooting the latter
off in a careless manner as they wend
their way to and from this "noble so-
ciety." Truly teinperanee is a grand
and glorious movement if carried on in
a proper manner. But' when a few
beardless youths club together and or-
ganize a sparking school under the
cloak of temperance, it is bigh time
that they were exposed. And as to
banishing old. alcohol, there are some
who belong to this lodge who can ban-
ish as much of it out of their sight as
there is any need for. So, in conclu-
sion, I would say to them to secure a
charter orthedr own and oome boldly to
the front like men in future. -ONE or
THE PEEPERS.
TURNIPS. -A number ef the farmers

SCARLET FEVER. -Scarlet fever has
made its appearance on the 3rd conces

have been taken down with it, but all
are recovering, and it is hoped it will
not spread further. ,
ENGAGED. -Mr. Thos. M. Higgins.,
son of Mr. Higgins, of this township,
has been re-engaged for Porter's Hill
school, at a salary of $475, being an in

the wife of Mr. Robt. Yuill. -Mr. R.

ago, and has sent ler his wife to come
out also.
THAT THRESEING. - Mr. Editor, -
Sir We notieed in your last week's
issue something more about the Lan-
ders threshing. Messrs. Swan, 135yce
& Ross did not think it any brag day's
work -nothing more than they have
done before and can do again. Neither
had they any part in putting it in the
paper. As regards Mr. Woodley's
threshing, bad luck will betel them as
well as others. They lost half a day
babbiting their cylinder boxes. When
'this was done, "Farmer" cannot say
but that they could haveput the grain
through the machine twice as fast as
they got it. If threshers cannot get the
grain, they cannot be expected to make
a day's work. The fact is, thie Stanley
Farmer seems to have taken this op-
portunity of throwing out some of his
old spite. -AN ONLOOKER.

SunnEx ATTACK, OE INFLAMMATION. -
Mr. John Kerslake, &little north of the
village, returned hem° from Exeter on
Saturday evening last about four o'clock,
apparently quite well, and commenced
working at his turnips, but before he
had been long at work, he was suddenly
attacked with that prevalent disease,
inflammation, and the extreme Plan
which invariably attends this disease,
becamedn a few minutes almost un-
bearable. Dr. McTavish, of Staffa,was
Bent for, and upon his arrival he almost
instantly alleviated the suffering, and
under his skilful treatment Mr. Kers-
lake is again able to be around, and is
now putting a finish on his turnips.
AN INTERESTING MOVEMENT AT A
HUSKING BEE. -Quite a number of our
genial neighbors assembled at Mr. Idle -
bad Bowerman's, Lindy Lane, on Fri-
day evening last, and _assisted him in
husking his corn, of which he had. no
small quantity, and daring the time
they were thus eniployed, there being
coi*derable of our intelligent and en-
terprising elements present, many im-
portant suejects were freely discussed,
and amongst other the advisability of
forming -a joint stook company for the
purpose of sinking a shaft for salt. As
the many arguments and propositions
advanced in its favor were unanim-
ously endorsed by all present, we have
little doubt but that they will endeavor
to realize upon the movement in quee-
tion. One of the leading personages
in the discussion has a site M one of
the neighbonng villages which will no
doubt be the scene of action should
they become resolved upon carrying out
their project.
