A NEW coME .—The Wingham Times
i
of last week ekes the following 'com-
plimentary ref rence to a gentleman
who has left thet town to become aresi-
dent of Seaforthl. It says: Several times
daring the past the town of Seaforth has
contributed to Wingham some of its
most highly resected and valuable citi-
zens, and it is riew Wing'ham's turn to
return the co npliment. john Dodds
has been a reel ent of our town for over
20 years, and d ming that titne has gam-
ed the highest esteem of everybody.
Starting in life as a poor boy, by hard
work and perievastence he has risen to
he one of our imost prominent hilliness
men. For the past six years he has been
partner in the pop Works of Hill &
Dodds, who ate widely and favorably
known, as manufacturers of this bever-
age. He has always taken a great in-
terest in music, and was one of the best
musicians in • the town. He left on
Wednesday for Sea,forth, where he will
start a pop works, and will no doubt
work u -p a good trade in that section.
The Times wishes him every success in
his new undertakin, but regrets, along
with the rest of the community that he'
has decided to depart frorti among us.

BRIEVS.—The Goderich High School
Literary Society are going to give a
grand musicalaind literary treat to the
people of Goderich this Friday evening.
The programree will consist of recita-
tions, vocal and instrumental music,
pantomimes, tableaux, and hosts of other
things. It atomises to be one of the
best ever delivered before a Goderich
audience.—A petition for unseating Mr.
Porter was forwarded to Toronto last
Friday. Rumor has it that a counter
petition has also been filed against M. C.
Cameron.—It is with feelings of sadness
that we this week record the death of
Mr. Watson, of this town. He was for
a long time sick with sciatica, and at
length succumbed to it. His funetal
was large, and was preceded by the
band playing the "Dead March in Saul."
The relics of mortality, arrayed in their
last costume, presented a beautiful and
placid appearence—that of a men having
fallen into a siveet sleep.

THE LATE ROBERT W. Eeneaer.—It is
with feelings of more than ordinary re-
gret that we this' -week chronicle the
death of Robert W. Eaton, which oc-
cured at his residence in the township of
Howick on Thursday, March 31st Th.e
deceased was born in the county of
Leeds, Ontario, on the 28th December,
1854, and was the eldest son of the late
W. Eaton. In his fourteenth year, he
came with his parents to this township,
where he resided till the time of his
death. On 24th of May of last year he
attended a lawn soeial where he con- -
tracted a severe Cold. In a'few months
it became apparent to all that consump-
tion had claimed. him as another victim
to its dreadful power. He was confined
to his bed for six months. dnring which
time he bore his illness with wonderful
patience, and through it all was sub-
missive to the will of his Heavenly
Father. On Thursday, March 31st, at
the hour of one o'clock p. after bid-
ding his mother and the , rest of the
family a sorrowful farewell he sank
quietly to that sleep that knows no
waking, with these beautiful words upon
his dying lips, "I'm going home to
praise the Lord through all eternity."
He was a consistent member of the
Methodist church and a,n active worker
in the Sunday School.
—There appears to be son -eating radi-
cally wrong with the road -bed or the
management of the Canadian Pacific
Railway. Every few days dispatches
are received announcing a collision, or a
run-off, or some accident equally serious,
and in every instance strenuous efforts
are made to prevent the particulars frem
reaching the public. Saturday after-
noon the usual accident occurred, but
fortunately to lives were lost, there
being a level stretch of ground where the
affair occurred. While a freight train
was approaching Hornby, on the Credit
Valley Division of the Canadian Pacific
Railway, at a high rate of speed there
was a sudden bumping, and the train
forged ahead on the ties, the rails hav-
ing spread. The engineer promptly re-
versed his engine, and bit presence el
mind probably saved himself and com-
rades from injury. Several of the cars

limmarried and a great favorite with alt
classes, his departure is very affecting to
ell. Associated with his name will long
be remembered his genial disposition
and irreproachable character, having no

Wise speaking to each of us. The fun-

SUDDEN DEATH. -7- -It willi be remem-
bered that we mentioned in last week's
notes that John McDonald had gone
away to consult physicians as to his
health. He has been ailing since last
fall, when he had lumbago,ifrom which
he never seems to have been freed, but
since that, and very lately at different
times, principally in the morning, weak;
unconscious spells beset him. The phy-
sicians here were bellied, and then the
aforesaid trip was made, but the trouble
could not be fathomed by the most
skilled doctors. -Be arrived home on
Friday evening, abd the fatigue of the
journey made those weak attacks more
lasting. On Sabbath he attended ser-
vice twice, and on going to rest he
seemed quiet and pleasant, but the
usual attack came, from which he neaer
rallied, remaining nearly always unclom-
sciaus and powerless 1 until Tuesday
noon, when he passedaway. A post
