PERSONAL.—Mise Mamie Douglas, of Blake, who has been visiting at the resi- dence of Mr. Alexander, in McKillop, has returned home, accompanied by Miss Aggie Alexander. HARD oxSHADE TREES.—Early one morn- ing lately a wealthy 'farmer of this vicinity, thought to himself that he ought to have his house plastered: and started out in pursuit of sand. Hesteered his course forthe sand hill north of the 7th concession between lots 30 and 31, on the top of which grew a beau- tiful,beech shade tree. This gentleman, having a special hatred for shade -trees, de- cided to undermine it. On the opposite side of the hill there is a sand -pit open to the public where he could have ob- tained all the sand that he required by pay- ing a mere trifle, but instead he took three enormous loads from under the shade 1 tree. The council will please look after such actions. --COM. A SuecEss.—On Friday evening, last week, a very successful school entertain- ment was held in the school in section No. 12. The excellent programme prepared for the occasion reflected much credit upon the teacher, Miss Scott, and her managing com- mittee. The selections were all good and were exceedingly well rendered, but the dialogues deserve more than parsing notice. They were carefully chosen, and the various characters: performed their several parte very efficiently. Mr. R. Common acted as chairman, and did honor to the position,and at the close of the meeting announced the proceeds as $22.50. OOITCARY,—Miss Margaret Shannon, who passed away from us a few days ago, de- serves a place in the memory of her friends. She was bore in the county of Armagh, Ire- land, and when but a child came with her family to Canada, and as twig as her parents lived remained with them, and after their decease continued to live in the old home with her brother Solomon, who succeeded them. The sickness which led to her death was not regarded, either by herself, her friends or the doctor, as at all alarming, even up to a few moments before her de- mise. But it was a matter of deep thank- fulness to all connected with the deceased that there was not in her case any felt need of lengthened preparation. Those friends who were privileged with her intimate ac- - quaintance, find consolation in ,recalling how kind and gentle a spirit she possessed. She was brought up a. Presbyterian, and was for many years a consistent member of the eleurch. Whenever her health permitted she was a regular attendant upon the means of grace in which she found great help and delight. She was from earliest childhood sickly and weak, and that she was preserved to comparatively so ripe an age . has been a matter cf astonishment to those who knew her. But although debarred from the bus- tle and activities of life, she has not lived in vain. Her kindness of heart, her agreeable - Hees of manner, her genuine piety, y. led all - -.around her, and especially her brothers and sisters, to contend for•the honor of her so- ciety and the high privilege of serving her. Verily she being dead yet epeaketh. Her death like her life was gentle, quiet, pure and iainlees. Births. WILSON.—In Usborne township, on the 8th inst., the wife of Mr. William Wilson, of a daughter.

In the big lumber mill at Austin, Penn- sylvania, there is an engine of remarkable beauty and power. It is a 350 horse power engine, which drives the complicated ma- chinery of the sawmill. Standing beside the immense flywheel of this engine the other night it struck me that the everlasting clatter and roar of wheels, belts and pistons must; be awfully trying to the nerves of the engineer, who had to be always in that room. I asked him if it were not so, and he replied at once : " Not at all ; on the con- trary I feel the stillness of the night outside more than what seems to you to be the con- fueed uproar in this room. Every second that goes to swell the total has its peculiar meaning to me, and sitting here I can dis- tinguish by the sound the slightest devia- tion of any part of the engine from the proper course. If, as I sometimes do, I drop into a doze, not the emalleat.thing could happen to that engine, not the moat - insignificant part of its complicated mechan- ism could get out of gear, but the change of sound would waken me instantly."
