EGMONDYILLE NOTES.—Rumor has it,that our esteemed treasurer, Mr. James Murray, intends coming to reside in Egatondville in the no distant future. We trust that the report is well founded and Egmondville will extend a hearty we me to Mr. Murray and his estimable family. An agitation is again on foot in this villa or the purpose of inducing the proper ant rities to take steps inlhe line of getting such -additions to the Bayfield dam as will permit fish to ascend the river.

LEFT 'l'oeves.—Mr. John Fairley, who has been a respected resident of Seaforth for over a quarter of a century, left here for Carberry, Manitoba, on Tuesday last,where he intends making his future home. Mrs. Fairley and family, however, will be here for few weeks more. We but express tbe general sentiment of our people, when we sey, we deeply regret Mr. Fairley's removal. from here. Idet.was e good and usefsuic °W- ien, and of the icind that we do notddike to lose. He is one of those fortunate men who make many friends and no enemies, and he was respected in every sphere. He has filled several positions of honor and trust in town. He has been a member of the town council and publio school board at edifferent titnes, and up to his taking his departure he was a member of the Collegiate Institute Board, and, in,addition to that he has been for abont sateen years Secretary of the Managing Committee of the Presbyterian Church, and only resigned that position at the last annual meeting. Although it was known Mr. Fairley intended going &Way, few had any idea he intended leaving ue eo soon. On the fact becoming known a union meeting of the Elders and Managing Committee of the Presbyterian church was held and a highly compliment- ary address was adopted and presented t Mr. Fairley, while steps were taken to , make him a euitelele presentation. He left hy the afternoon train on Tuesday, and a large number of the citizens assembled at the station to bid him good-bye and wish him success in his new home. Mr. Fairley has, already, two sons in Manitoba, and the third had made arrengements to go there. Thie, we fancy, was the induceinent which led him to give up a good business here and go off to the " lone West." We can assure the good people of Carberry that in Mr. Fail -Icy they will get a good citizen, and a eterling, industrious business msn, and we hope they will use him well. so lately cheered by a mother's loving pres- ence. To tho sadly stricken family in gen- eral, hut to them in'perticular,the profound sysnpathy of this entire community will be extended in this the time of their great sorrow. The funeral services were conduct- ed on Monday afternoon by: the Rev. Mr. Graham, assisted by the Rei.Hope F. Ross, and the remains were followed to,their last resting piece in Egmondville hemetery by a very large number of friends and acquaint- ances, who had gathered to pey the last tri- bute of respect to one so suddenly called from their midst. To those of us who are left and who often act as though we herd our length of days in our own keeping, the call again comes, clear and loud, "Be ye also read y."—Coet. IN LOVING REMEMSRANCE, —Death has again visited our community, not with the slow and measured tread of a painful chronic malady, but tn its more appalling form of fiashiog euddenness, rending the very heart stringe of near aod dear ones, and thrilling with eorrow the entire neighborhood. Few events ever occurred in this vicinity which oseeed such profound regret as the terribly sudden death of the late Mrs. John Gent - melt. In the early part of last week she went to spend a few days with her daugh- ter, Mrs. William Sproat. While thereathe was, as usual, apparently in good heelth and spirits. On Thuraday she and Mrs. Sproat epent the afternoon at Mr. James Sproat's, on the 4th concession, passing the time very pleasantly till evening, when they prepared to returu home. Mrs. Gemmell got into the cutter first, and while hold- - hag Mrs. Sproat's child, preparatory to leaving, and talking pleasantly to those around, she expired without a moment's warning, Mrs. Gemmell was the eldest daughter of the late Mr. Robert McCart. ' ney, and was born in Ayrshire, Scotland, in 1832. She came to Canada in 1836, end ' settled with her parents on the Mill Road, Tuckersmith, endurin4 patiently the usual hardships of pioneer life. In 1850 she mar- ried the late Jo n Gemmell, who took her i to his home on he farm just to the east of Egmendville, hare she continued to reside till death celled her so unexpectedly away. The deceased was a woman of more than ordinary ability. Early left a widow with a family of seven email children, she bravely faced the responsibility, 'reneging farming and other business operations with consum- mate skill, and thus secured for herself and 1 family not only the comforts but the lux- uries of We. While blessed with prosperity honestdrearned, she always held her means with a liberal hand, esker contributing in her own quiet way to the wants of the needy. As a helper in siekness her services were invaluahle, possessed as she oyes of a willing hand and a cheery disposition. Thus her loss to the Preabyterian church; of which she was long an honored member,and the community generally, will be almost ir- repareble, hat while friends and neighbors sorrow, only those whose yeare have been circled by her parental care can truly realize the fullest extent of the bereavement. Espeoielly is this the case with those who re now left the lonely occupant§ of a home THE VOTE ON THE TOWN BUILDING.—The vote on Friday last on the question of the town.building, as to 'whether the council should proceed with the erection of the three story building, as proposed by the preeent plansoor procure modified plans for a two story building, so as to bring the eptire cost within the sum provided for by the by-law, resulted in favor of the three story builditot by a Majority .of 66 votes. The followieg is a statement of the votes cast : For t ree For two t story ldg. story bldg. North Ward - 51 24 East " 33- 22 South '‘ 44 16 128 62 Majority for large building,' 66. It will be borne in mind that the votes of free holdere only were taken. The vote on the whole was very decisive and satisfac- tory. The question had beetelong discussed and was thoroughly understood by all and the vote was entirely spontaneous, there having been no canvassing or special effort put forth on either side. The vote, also, was considerably larger than that polled for the by-law last August. There were 163 votes cast for the by-law and 190 on the - present occasion. It shows that a large ma- jority of those most deeply interested are in favor of having a building tbat will be creditable to the town. It will now be the duty of the council to have the wishes of the people carried out as speedily and as econ- omically as possible.

Spence, T. Strachan, P.Kelly, A. McDonald, R. Armstrong and T.Taylor. J. King, Q. C. of Berlin, represented Mc- Callum, and W. 1'. O'Connor, Q. C., and J. *Pherson, of Walkerton, represented the prisoners. Counsel for the prosecution at- tempted to have the charge amended so that it should be felonious assault, but this was loidi; the vote of the bench standing a tie. They then withdrew the charge against the four and laid a complaint against Durnion, Laird and McGee, on the More serious Blake. " ENTERTAINMENT. — Tha entertainment' given by the Blake Literary Society took place on the evening of February 24th, as announced. The night was all that could be desired, as far as weather was concerned, and the entertainment was a grand success in every respect. The programme was lengthy and varied, consisting of addressee, songs, dialoguee, readings and recitations, together with abundance of instrumental music. As all who took part in the enter- tainment did so well it is almost unneceesary to particularize. However, we might men- tion without unjustice to anyone the instru- mental music by Mrs. and Miss ,Doan, the Hess family and Messrs. Walker and Ross, which was particularly good and in itself well worth the admiseion fee. We would not be doing our duty if we did not make special mention of the address, intended particularly for the young men of the Blake Literary Society, by Mr. Thomas Johnston, subject—" Self Culture." The address was really a good one, well delivered and con- taining much useful information and coun- sel, and if the young men of Blake are wise enough to lay it up in their hearts and prac- tise it in their lives, they can not fail to make their mark in the world. The proceeds amounted tio $23.30. Wingham.
