CAMPBELL OF STAN- LEY. —We ne d scarcely say that it is with feelings of the keened sorrow that we are called upon this week to refer to the death of u r. A. M. Campbell, of Stanley. M . Carepheli died on Satur- day last in iesouri, at the residence of his brother- -law, Mr. William Duncan, -whither he ad, one with the -hope that a Change of air and scene would prove beneb ial. The ' fetigue of the journey, ho -ever, had evidently been too much foit hiin, and he only survived a few der' 4fIer reaching his journey's end. The r mains arrived at his home in Stanley ton Monday morning and were inter ed on Wednesday. Mr. Campbell h been a sufferer for years from asthin , tut for some month! past he was ince els e for business, and wee confined tcb hie residence most ofeethe time, but ft w thought the end was so =car. He vas a comparatively young Irian, aiad stas, if we mistake not, a native of tlee township in which he re- sided. Hel was a graduate of the On- tario Veterinary College, and was con- sidered very skilful in his profession, brit of latei yeare hie health precluded his doing anyth'ng of a large practice, hud he devotedhis attention mostly to the care arid cultivation of his fine farm in Stanley, on Which he resided. He was a gentema4i of excellent abilities; being an eivten ive reader he possessed a well.storeci mi d, and was a clever writer and goo public speaker. But for his uniertu ate physical infirmity, which was! alwa s a drawback to him, he would have taken the prominent nty of Efuren for the ctioneers,—David Dick- irkby, John Currie, G.

He had a hlgh eenae of honor, was a warm, true friend, and a supporter end advo- cate of ejvery wor,hy cause, and his eath is I lose to the entire community.

It is not alone the aged, or even the middle-aged, that,have been called hone, but, the- young and vig- orous have been removed se well. Laat week we had to chronicle the demise of two of our oldest residents, and this week it has been the painful duty of many of our citizens to follow to the tomb the mortal remain" of one who was just *blooming into womanhood, and who, a few weeks ago bid fair for a long and useful life. We refer to the death of Miss Elizebeth Gibson Dickson, sec- ond daughter of Mr. Samuel Dickson, postmaster of this town, which occurred on Saturday morning lest,at the early age of 19 years. About six weeks ago Miss Dickson was prostrated by asevere attack of la grippe, which finally turned into pneumonia, and deepite all that medical skill and tender nursing couldaccomplish, proved fatal. Miss Dickson was a par- tioularly bright, amiable and clever young lady. She was a pupil at the Collegiate Institute end was a universal favorite with all her associates, Her - early death is • a great grief to all who enjoyed her acquaintance, and is s se- vere bereavement to her parents and im- mediate friends. This is the second blank made in Mr. Dickson's family by deat4within a little over a year, their eldest son having died a year ago last March. But, while the bereavement is severe, and the loss_ irreparable, the parents have the consolation of knowing that they are not of theme who sorrow Without hope, as in both cases the de- parted ones were resigneed to and fully peeparedl for the great change. The funeral teok place on Monday and was largely attended. As a mark of respect to their. former classmate the pupils of the Collegiate Institute accompanied by theV teachers, attended the funeral in a bod-y, and joined in the sad and solemn' proceesion. The interment was neade in the Maitland I:lank Cemetery, and now the remains of brother and sister, so loving in life, lie side by side in death, while their spirits have gone home where partings are no more. 13a1 tide Army, a *hit OD • Tuesday ev Ding.

One of these, a four-year-old 'siding, Mr. MoMann says, was the est horse he has ever -handled, and that s saying a good deal. He was bred by r. Duncan MoLeughlin, of Grey, and eighed 1,780 lbs. He was only in fair ondition, and Mr. McMann says he ould have been made to weigh 2,000 lbs. In addition t ' these, Mr. MoMann as also since then sold ten out of his table and shipped 15 to Montreal, mak- ng his total sales or the past two weeks 5 horses. He says he has handled over 50 horses since the first of January Rant, making about .fifty thousand dot: ilars that he has paid out for horses in_this vicinity during the past four months: This will give some idea of the impedance of the horse industry to this county. Mr. McMann says he handles as many horses as he ever did, and the most of them go to the United .States, and that :tbe increased duty occasioned by the McKinley tariff reduces his pro- fits, and also reduces the price of the animal to the Canadian seller. Taking the business done by Mr. -McMann as a basis, the farmers of Huron can very easily figure up how much more they would make on their horses if the duties were removed altogether. 11 11 1 street.

The bur -- glary took place about half -past one in the morning. The burglars obtained an entrance by prying opeo the back door with heavy chisels. They bored a hole through the top of the safe, and no doubt they used powdet -to blow it open, the looks being completely blown out and the doot swung open when discover- ed in the morning. Mr. D. McDonald, who had been out of town, drove in, mit away his horse, and went down to mail two letters from the outside. One of the burglars that was outside, apparent- ly keeping sentry, hailed Mr. McDon- ald, telling him that he wanted him. Mr. McDonald refused to remain. The burglar drew a revolver, and presented It to Mr. McDonaid's nice, saying, "You won't come, won't you? " He handled McDonald roughly; and made him sit down on the door step outside while the other man was ineide drilling and blowing the safe. He remarked to McDonald that that was the way they made a living, and that there would be an explosion in a few minutes, but it would not hurt him if he kept quiet.
