his diligence. The report of the pres-

the attendance was not large. The
moderator occupied the chair. Inter-
esting addresses on Sabbath School
work and the connection of the school
with the church was given by MessrsJas.
Scott, of Clinton, .James Mitchell, of
Goderich and Rev. Mr. Henderson, of

property of the welI-known horse im-
porters, Messrs. C. E. Mason and Peter
McGregor, of Brucefield. They were
nearly all imparted by these gentlemen,'
for their own useand are among the very
best in the country. This is an advan-
tageous time to purchase animals of this
kind and this sale will afford an oppor-
tunity not often offered:
DEATH OF A GOOD WOMAN. — The
aged mother of the Messrs. Davis, of the
Mitchell Advocate, and wife of Rev. W.
Davis, died at the residence of her son,
Mr.W.R. Davis, Mitchell, on, Thursday
last week. The remains were taken to
Londonfor buriaband the buriall services
were conducted by Bishop Baldwin.
The pall -bearers were the six sons of the
deceased, Rev. Canon Davis, of London
Spathe Rev. T. R. Davis, of Sarnia;
Messrs. W. R. and. J. E. Davis, of
Mitchell ; Riohard Davis, of Toronto,
and Henry Davis, of Wingham. The
deceaaed was well on New Year's day,
and attenclecla re -union at which all the
members; of her family werepresent. She
took the la geippe a few days after-

of the lungs and soon proved fatal. She

worthy lady.
tion, and it is supposed she caught the
disease from long and. dose attendance
upon hini-as she was not pre -disposed to
it in any way, nor did she contract it
from exposure, as it seemed to come on
,spontaneously and did its work in her
case much more rapidly than in that of
her late husband. Mrs. Kyle was a
quieteunostentatious woman who took
her chief enjoyment in her woman,
but
was greatly beloved by all who knew
her. She was kind and obliging, and
was in practice as well as profession a
dtvout and sincere Christian Woman.
She leaves behind a daughter and son,
the former of whom is 17 years of age
and the latter 15s who have now been
bereft of both father and mother, but
who will, we have no doubt, ever cher-
ish with reverend memory her who has
been called from them so early and at a
thine when they most need her loving
eate and wise counsel. Her worthy
father and other relatives will have the
sincerest sympathy in their severe be-
reavement. The remains were deposited
in Egmondville pernetery on Thursday
afternoon.
DR. WASHINGTON'S great success in
Ottawa, as viewed by the Ottawa "Free Press,"
one of the foremost papers in that city. It
unmistakeably shows the motives of the
" Gallant Nine" who signed the petition to get
rid of Dr. Washinzton. The truth will come
cut.—" The distinguished Throat and Lung
Surgeon was seen to -day at the Grand Union
Hotel, where he was thronged with a large
number of patients, who expressed their un-
bounded confidence in his skill in treating their
diseases. Dr. Washington is now closing the
second year of his visits to Ottawa, and on
inquiry it was learned that his success had been
wonderful. There can be no doubt that Dr.
Washington has deeply ingrafted himself into
the hearts of a large number of the citizens of
Ottawa and surrounding country. He has
made monthly visits punctually, for two years,
Which is in itself evidence prima facie, that
his treatment has been a decided success. Many
have been the flattering,- reports of apparently
hopeless cases given up by the general prac-
titioners, cured by Dr. Washington. _Dr.
Washington is a man of energy and thoroughly
truthful in his dealings with the Free Press,
and all his patients speak well of his treatment,
eta. The persecution that Dr. Washington
has been undergoing at the hands of the
Medici,' domicil has apparently caused his
patients to rally to his support more strongly
than ever, and his many friends in and around
Ottawa are firmer than ever in their allegiance
to him. 1Ib4-2
COUNCIL DOINGS.—The first meeting
of the newly -elected town council was
held on Monday last. The following
councillors made the necessary declara-
tions and took their seats viz.: The
Mayor, Reeve, Deputy -Reeve, and
'Councillors Gillespie, Good, J. A.
Wilson, Beattie, Davidson Duncan,
, Darwin and Watson. Mr. i/Vm. Elliott
was 'appointed clerk, Messrs. W. N.
Watson and J.L. Smith, auditors. The
Mayor, Reeve, and, Councillors Beattie,
Good and Duncan were appoiated a com-
mittee to draft the standing committees
for the year and to report at next meet-
ing of council. The tnembers of the
Electric Light Committee of• last year
• who are members of the present council
were appointed members of the same
committee for the present. The council
adjourned to meet again on Monday
evening next.

WONEEN AND MISSIONS.—The annual
meeting of the Woma.n's Presbyterial
Society, under the auspices of the Huron,
Preabyteiy, was held in the Presbyter-
ian church, Seaforth, on Tuesday last.
The weather was cold and unfavorable,
but despite this draw-bet.ck there was a
good attendance of ladies. There are
thirteen auxiliaries in the county and
all were represented by delegates. An
address of welcome was read by Mrs.
Wm. Robb, of Seaforth, and was suite
ably responded to. by Mrs. Simpson, of
Brucefield. The President, Ars. Thos.
Fair, of Clinton, read an excellent open-
ing address. 'A paper on " Reaction in
Missionary Effort," was also - read by
- Mrs. C. Fletcher, of Thames Road, Us -
borne. This paper we will publish next
week, and it will be found both inter-
esting and instructive. Reports from
the several auxiliaries, under the aus-
pices of the society, were alao read, and
all seem to be in a prosperous state and
doing a good work. The following offi-
cers were elected for the current year :
Mrs. Thomas Fair, Clinton, president;
Mrs. C. Fletsher, Usborne, vice --presi-
dent; Mrs. Duff, Carlow, Second vice-
president ; Mrs. John Lyon, Seaforth,
secretary, and Mrs. M. Y. McLean, Sea,
• forth, treasurer. The following are the
.mounts contributed by the severalAux-
iliaries for the paat year : Seaforth,
$267.21 ; Minton', 5180.25; Goderich,
$106 ; Smith's Hill, 538; Manchester,
$22 ; Bayfield Road, $22 ; Kippen,
$47.50 ; Egmonclville 545; Kirkton $60;
• Thames Road, 5115; Blyth, $93.30.
These several amounts make a total of
$1,081.26 contributed for Foreign Mis-
sionary purposes. Last year the con-
tributions amounted to $1,174, thus
showing a decrease for this year. But
the close of the financial year having
been changed from March to January
the time has this year been shortened
by two months, which probably accounts
for the difference. The result, however,
shows that the ladies are doing a good
work, and all will wish them even in-
creased success.

THE MCKILLOP FIRE INSURANCE
COMPANY.—The annual meeting of the
members of the McKillop Mutual Fire
Insurance Company was held in the
town hall, Seaforth, on Friday last.
The President, Mr. Thos. E. Hays, oc-
cupied the chair. There was not a very
large number of/members present. The
report of the auditors, Messrs. John
O'Sullivan and George Murdie, was read
and adopted. From this report we learn

The assets of the Cornrow amount to

The auditors complimented the Scores_
tary-Treasurer on the cereful, accurate
and neat manner innirhich the Company's
books and accounts are kept. A motion
by Mr. John Beattie; seconded by Mr.
George Murdie, of which previous no
tice had been given, to reduce the numb-
er of directors from 9 to 6 was discussed
at considerable length. Those in favor of
the motion argued that the business
of the Company would be as efficiently
conducted by the smeller as by the lar-
ger number of directors, and that as all
directors have the privilege of being
present at all board meetings, including
those for the passage of applications,and
as it is necessary to remunerate these
directors for their services the expenses
would be materially reduced by de-
creasing the number of directors. On
the other side it was argued that it is
necessary in the interests of the Com-
pany to have the. directors well distri-
buted over the territory covered by the
company, as each director is acquaint-
ed with the properties in his vicinity
and in this way can be a check on ac-
cepting insecure risks. • Also that the
directors are supposed to be better ver
sed in the affairs of the Company and to
take a greater interest in • its welfare
than private members and that by hav-
ing them well dispersed over the terri-
tory they can uphold the name of the
Company and disseminate inforniation
concerning it and in this way increase
its popularity and advance its interests.
This view seemed to prevail with the
meeting and upon a votebeing taken
the motion was declared lost. The fol-
lowing directdre were elected by ballot
to replace those that retire'viz: George
Watt and Thos. Carbert, Hullett, and
Gabriel Elliott, Goderich township.
This closed the business of the meeting.'
At a meeting of the Board of directors
subsequently held, the former officers
were all re -appointed. This Company
like the other Mutuals is doing a splen-
did work in the communityo Its finan-
cial statement shows that it is carefully
and economically managed and that its
members receive their insurance for the
very lowest possible cost.

OBITUARY.—We are this week again
called upon to announce the death of
two estimable citizens. It is not the
old and feeble that have been cut off
'this time, but the middle-aged and re-
cently robust. • Weelast week alluded to
the serious illnesa of Mr.. David Dor-
rence, Jr., of MoKillop. He came to
Seaforth on the 9th inst. to attend a
meeting of the Tuekersmith Agricul-
tural Society, of which he was a direc-
tor. He was not very well when he left
home, and after arriving 'here grew
much worse, and being too ill to venture
home he went to the residence of his
mother in this town. He never left
this. Inflammation of the bowels was
the first cause of illness. This was
checked, but had EO weakened- his con-
stitution that other internal troubles
baffled all medical skill, and he passed
quietly away on Monday afternoon,
after an illness -of not quite two weeks.
The deceased was the eldest son of the
late Samuel Dorrance of McKillop, and
was a 'prosperous- farmer and horse
breeder. He was just 35 years of ag
and was to all appearances robus ,
healthy young man, and few appear al
more likely to survive to a good old a

gratified to learn that MAIL. S. Felton,
a former resident of Blyth, has located
in Atwood, and has issued the first num•
ber of a new paper, called "The Bee."
Mr. Felton is a young man of push,'
pluck and perseverance, and will no
doubt make success of his new enter-
prise.
FARM SOli.D. —Mr. Wm. Laidlaw,
who advertised his farm for sale in THE
EXPOSITOR some weeks ago,has sold it to
• Mr. Joseph Combs, of Blyth. Mr.
Combs is an enterprising young man and
believes in keeping things moving not-
withstanding the hard times. Mr.
Laidlaw will devote his attention to the
creamery business.
No SERVICE.—There was no service
in the Presbyterian church last Sunday
owing to the illness of Rev. A. McLean.
Most of the Presbyterians took advan-
tage of this circumstance to hear Rev.
Mr. Edge, of Clinton, who occupied the
pulpit ,of the Methodist church and de-
livered two excellent discourses. Rev.
Mr. Tonge filled: Mr. Edge's appoint-
ment in Clinton.
BRIEFS. — Rumors are afloat that a
certain business man of Blyth will be
united in the holy bonds of matrimony
on Wednesday next to a popular lady of
Strathroy.—Alderman Tanner and L.

Gee, John Wilford and F. W. Tanner,
held their first meeting in the Council
Chamber ' on Monday at eleven o'clock
a. m. All the members were present
and took the oath of office. All kinds
of rumors were afloat as to who would
secure the different offices in the gift of
the council. Wm. Wilson was re -ap-
pointed clerk, and John McGill assessor
instead ef Joseph Carter. Mr. McGill
is a competent person for the position,
and no doubt the assessing will be done
in first -brass style this year. A. Elder
and J. M. Hamilton will be the audi-
tors for the current year. The other
officers were left over until next
meeting.

closed some days last week on account
of so many of the children being laid up

relating to the investment of municipal
loan fund moneys, and empowering the
Council to invest these funds in farm
mortgages, dominion or tmunieipal de-
bentures, school debentures, trustee's
notes, or in the saving i bank. Motions

OBITUARY.—It •is with feelings of
deep sorrow that we chronicle the death
of Mary Reid, beloved wife of Mr. John
Patterson,.of Rodgerville, on January
12th, after a few days' illness, leaving
behind an infant son five days old. She
was an amiable lady and beloved by all
who had the pleasure of her acquaint-
ance. She was a daughter of Mr. John
Reid, of County Down, Ireland, and
came to this country with a brother
about nine years ago. She was . the
neice and adopted daughter of Mr. as.
White, of Rodgerville, now of Hen an,
in whose family she was beloved by all.
The last day of June, 1887,. she was
married to Mr. John Patterson, with
whom she lived in great happiness only
two and a half years till death claimed
her for its victim. She spent Christmas
and New Year's with her friends at the
family re -union, and to all appearance
was likely to spend many more, but God
ordained it otherwise and took her to
Himself. Mr. _Patterson has- the sincere
sympathy of the community in the loss
of his amiable companion.
Shed not for her the bitter tear,
Nor give the heart to vain regret;

The gem that filled it sparkles yet.
