Keeney, of Warsaw,New York State, formerly Miss Hannah Coleman, only daughter of Dr. Coleman, of this town. The announce- ment of Mrs. Keeney's death was re- ceived by telegram, and was a dreadful shock to her parents and friends, as it was entirely unestpected, a telegraph an- nouncing her severe illness and the one announcing her -death, having been re- ceived nearly at the same time. The cause of death was child -birth convul- sions. Mrs. Keeney was a native of this town, and spent most of her life here previous to her marriage about two years ago. She was one of the most po'pula'r and accoinplished young ladies of the town, and her bright and amiable disposition made her a universal favorite with all who enjoyed her acquaintance, while in the home circle she was beloved as an only daughter alone can be. The family have the sincerest sympathy of a very large and wide circle of friends in axon txpooitoie. DISTRIOT MA T TER6. SOUTH HURON.

This is the- second examination Mr. Lennon has passed since- he went to Toronto some few months ago, and one more only awaits him when he will be a full-fledged practitioner.

Accounts to the amount of $132 were passed. Mr. Lusby, was instructed to have notices posted at Victoria Square, warning parties against injuring shade trees or other town property there, also notices posted on the. Electric light poles, cautioning per- sons against interfering with the lights, switches, etc. Mr. Goodand Mr.FJohn A. Wilson were added Committee, and the Committee was in- structed to have a statement - of the fin- ancial affairs of the town prepared' for next -meeting. A communication was read from Judge Doyle asking to have better4 accommodation for the holding of the Court here, and threatening to take the sittings of the Court to some ether place, and make the town foot the bill, unless his demands are speedily complied with.

E. Clarke, M. P. P. for Toronto, held a political meeting in Cardno's Hall in this town on Tuesday evening hat. The hall was well filled andlit, was a mostprderly and respectable meeting. There were quite a number of ladies present. Mr. George E. Jackson occupied the ohair, and Mr. G. E. Cress- well, of Tuckersmith, occupied a seat on the platform. Mr. Holmes spoke for about an hour and a half, and to say that his speech, if we should ;designate such an harangue by that name, was a disappointment to all, will but feebly ex- press the feelings of the audience, and we are sure it musthave been a relief to every one, and especially to his political friends, when he got through. Mr. Clarke is quite an elderly gentleman ; is somewhat bald and very grey. He is, however, a fine looking man, and is an easy, smooth, fluent and pleasant speak- er, and left an excellent impression on his audience. Ele dealt exclusively with the Protestant and centralization cries, and although he brought forth nothing new on these already threadbare ques- tions, he made the very beat he could of an exceedingly weak oases lied he been the :candidate in South Huron there would be some prospect for a little fun,but as it is there will be an exceeding- ly tame election. There were no replies made to either of the speakers, nor were any. necessary, as Mr. Holmes' speech did more to blast his own prospect and those of his_party in this election than all the best orators in the Reform party could heave done had they talked for a week.

With the ex- ception of one or two wet evenings, the attendance was large for this season. We cannot however say anything in commendation- of the young men , who surrounded the church on Tuesday evening and tried to disturb the meet- ing by rattling the door latch and other unseemly noises. We trust that these young men may grow wiser as they grow older, and learn that such conduct only demeans them in the eyes of respectable society. ley, McIntosh and James 'Hinohley, trustees for the following year. -The members of this Lodge intend holding a grand entertainment on Tueaday night, May 20th, when the singers Mr. and Miss Askwith, from Londesboro, and Messrs.

The game was rather one-sided and not very exciting. Although the Seaforth boys did not play their uaual game they succeeded in keeping the ball. on the Mitchell goal most of the time, and when time was called had scored 5 goals, Mitchell not having scored any. This counts two more points for the Hurons toward winning the champion- ship of the Huron district. —The first cup -tie match of the season will be played on the morning of the 24th of May at 10 a. m. sharp.

POLITICAL.—Both candidates are busy stumping the Riding, having started at Gorrie last week. Mr.; Musgrove is go- ing with Mr. Gibson, though at first he was not in favor of doing so. He calls meetings next week in Grey and Mr. Gibson will attend them. It seems that no one speaks at these meetings but the candidates. Several of the electors in- tend calling other•meetings when other persons will be allowed to discuss the questions at issue. Reform meetings are called in Howick and Turnberry for next week. The Reformers have com- mittee rooms in Smale's block, where all Reformers or supporters of Mr. Gib- son are at all times welcome.

P.1 Musgrave, pastor of Duff's and Cavan churches, McKillop. The sad event took place on Friday fore- noon last. Mrs. Musgrave was born in the Isle of Wight in 1819. Her father and family belonged to the Independent denomination of which he was a preach- er. Mra. Musgrave was a remote de- scendant of the old Welsh Princes of,the Principality of Wales, She was mar- ried to Mr. Musgrave, and soon after, in 1854, in company with her husband and her brother and his family, came to Can- ada. They first settled in Bowmanville, demning and laying bare the prevalent sins of the present day, and although the regulations of the church make it necessary for him to sever his pr nt connection with this circuit, we; how- ever, fondly cherish the hope that he has many years of useful work to per- form in the service of our Divine Mas- ter, and that his lot may at all times be cast in pleasant places. We likewise sincerely hope that his esteemed part- ner, Mrs,. Torrance, may be long spared to assist him in the good work, and tt, grace the social position which she now occupies." To this Mr. Torrance made a very feeling reply. The meeting then adjourned. Varna. - BRIEFS.—yrs. Wm.

Mrs. Musgrave has been ill for about three years, and has beep con- fined to the house and to bed for nearly two years. Her recovery being hopeless the change was a welcome relief to her. Although of a quiet, unassuming dispo- sition, she was an active, ardent and en- thusiastic worker in her Master's vine- yard, and always took a warm interest M every good work. She was, in the truest sense a help -mate to her now be- reaved)busband who will greatly miss her ev6r-loving counsel and active assist- ance in his Christian work. Even to the last, 'and when confined to bed, she never lost an opportunity to urge upon all who came in contact with her the great necessity of preparing for the bet- ter life and impressing upon them the great Christian truths in which she her- self Was such a firm believer. She has done her part well to leave the world better than she found it, and many will cherish through life with affectionate and thankful memory her kind and Christian counsel and advice. She will be especially missed by the people of the congregation over which her be- reaved husband has so long been the Drysdale. —Wheat one dollar a bushel.—Hard times a thing of the past.—Our esteemed elder, Mr. James Pollock, has been com- missioned to attend the General Assem- bly of the Presbyterian church at Ot- tawa on June 10th.

He drove out to Brus- sels at once and had it attended to. Thomas Johnson, of the 18th concession of Grey, had a very narrow escape on Thursday of last week. In passing through a gap in the fence,with a roller, one end of the roller caught the end of a rail, when the horses made a spring. The pole of the roller broke, causing the platforne of the roller to tip for- ward, throwing Mr. Johnston and his little son, who were both on the roller, behind the horses' heels. The little boy swung himself clear by getting hold of the nigh horse's tail, but Mr. Johnston fell across the off horse's whippletree, the roller getting on to his legs, and he was trailed quite a distance, until the boy got the horses stopped and got help to take the roller off his father. Mr. Johnston tie considerably bruised, but not seriously hurt. The little boy de- serves great credit for his presence of mind under such trying circumstances, and his prompt action no doubt sa.ved his father's life. E.
