Mr. McPherson has berm a faith- ful servant for the township, having served in the deputy -reeve chair for five years, and for thirteen years in the reeve's chair. He has had the honor of being elected by ac- clamation for sixteen years only being op- posed on two occasions. iAr.

PASSED AWAY.—On WacInesdey of last week Mrs. W. McNabb, of the 13th conces- sion, departed this life. Her maiden name was' Jennet Stewart. She had been in fail- ing health for the past four months, being confined to bed since about the 15th of September. Hers was a combination of ailments and at times she was a great suf. ferer. Mrs. McNabb was born in North Easthope, Perth county, where she was married 36 years ago to her now bereaft partner. Mr, and Mrs. McNabb and family moved to Grey township 13 years ago, pur- chasing the 100 acre farm of Robert Scott, where members of the family still reside. The subject of thia notice had been compar- atively a very hearty person and was moat highly esteemed by a large circle of friends for her many estimable qualities. She was a consistent member of the Presbyterian church.—On Friday, the 15th inst., Mr, E. J. McArthur, a well' known and deservedly reepected resident of the 6th concession, paid Nature's debt after a short but at times painful illness. He was 51 years, 5 months and 26 days old. Deceased was born near Martin -town, Glengarry county, Ontario, and came to Grey 23 years ag,o. For the first five or six years he ran a saw- mill at lot 6, concession 5, and in 1882 bought a 50 acre farm from the late Thomas Heritage, and seven years past purchased the adjoining 100, lot 10, concession 6, from the estate of the late David MeGuire. By industry and careful management he had made a big improvement in the property. During the past summer he was not feeling as well as usual and gradually failed until four weeks before hie death he was forced to take to his bed. The trouble was cancer of the liver and bowls. All ,that was pos- sible to give relief was done until he was freed from all pain and suffering. Mr. Mc- Arthur was married 28' years ago last June to Miss Jessie McIntosh, who with one son and three daughers survive and hold in kind remembrance the departed loved one. He was an unassuming, fair minded man, a Presbyterian in religion and Liberal in politics. His grandfather was a U. E. Loyalist. ANXIOUS MOTHERS lind DR.

MCDONALD.— The following is the address which accom- panied the purse presented to Rev. J. A McDonald, late pastor of Blake Presbyter ian church, by members of the congregation and mention of .which was made in our lam of last week : "We, the 'members and adherents o your church and congregation, Blake, hay assembled this evening for the purpose of offering you a slight token of gratitude for the able manner in which you have disebarg- edy our dirties, as pastor, during the eight years you have labored amongst us. To look back over that time we must conclude that we heves profitted by your ministrations,atid must also say you have endeared yourself to us by your amiable character, your earn- est devotion to duty and the hearty interest you have ever taken in our welfare as a peo- ple. We learn you are about to depart from our midst to follow your present call- ing in another field of labor. As you leave us for your new home, we assure yoa that you carry away the warm feelings of your late congregatron, which we represent. Our sincere wishes are that our dear Lord may pour out his choicest blessings upon you and your estimable wife and family, and may He grant you many years of health, prosper- ity and happiness. Now, in conclusion, we ask you to accept this purse and contents, not for their intrinsic value, but that in future years they may serve to remind you of the many days you spent among U6.

The re•opening services were held on Sabbath, December 10th, and were conducted both forenoon and evening by Rev. W. G. Howson, of Clinton. Although the weather was dis- agreeable and the roads bad, the congrega- tions were large. In the evening the isles were filled with extra seats. Though no special appeal was made, the subscriptions to the repair fund having been paid. a few days before, the sum of $25 was placed upon the plates. The lecture by Rev. R. Hobbs; one Tuesday evening, was well attended. - Again the heavy gale and muddy roads rte port many at home. Mr. Hobbs was in his usual good form, and delivered, with force, hie thoughts upon "The Triangular Man." The singing of the Wingham Methodist church choir was much appreciated.

'DIE LATE CITARLES PROCTOR.—.Another of Huron's most worthy pioneerslhas de- parted this life. Many will regret to learn of the death of Mr. Charles Proctor, of the township of Morris. Few were more widely known or more highly esteemed. Ile was born at Kirkby, Overblow, Yorkshi e Eng- land, in 1822. In 1850 he was married, and at once emigrated to Canada. After a voy- age of over six weeks, hy landed in' New York ; the journey from New York to Trafalgar township, Halton eounty, occu- pied twelve days. In 1853 he came to Mor- ris, and took up the south half of lot 6, and north ha,lf of lot 7, ors conaession 5. He then went back to Halton county for a few years. He returned to Morris and- began the clearing of his farm , and had to carry his provisions on his Z ulder from Gode- f• rich. In 1867 he was el oted coucillor, and for eleven years sat in he council, part of the time as deputiereeva. When the Lon- don Huron and Bruce railway was pro- jected he did all in his power to secure the road for this oration of the country. He served on the directorate of several Agricul- tural Societies, Clintoh, Blyth, Brussels, and was president of Belgra,ve Society for many years. His family consisted of six sons—John and= James : are dead ; George, Charles, Abraham live 4ear the old home, and Richard is still at ome. Mr. Proctor was industrial and frug I, and by his .toil bought and paid for 60 acres of land, and had crossed the ocean flIre times. He was a kind neighbor, a firm f lend of the young people, and a great loeter of music. His religious connections w re with the Church of England, and, by his.death, that church has lost a faithful worker. In polities he was attacked to the Igreat Conservative party. His funeral wad, one of the lareest ever seen in Morrie two hundred vehicles bearing friends and acquaintances - to pay the last tribute of respeet to one, who has passed to his long home, • Morris. RETURN OF MR. MOONEY.—JAr.

"Ah ! sure, he mi soul, I've been to him," said the Irishman, "and he's taking nobody del but Scotch. mon." • How To Avoid Colds During , Winter. 1 , "This idea tbat many people have, that winter is an unhealthful season, is all wrong. Wailer is just as healthful as eutimier, if peepie will take care of them- selves. If yea want to go through the winter without a cold, observe these few simple rules: "Don't overheat your house, and don't stop all ventilation. Sleep itaa cool room, but keep warmly covered. Always take off your outdoor wrape When you come in the house, and always put them on when you go out. And, lastly, Just as long as there is snow on the ground, don't go out without your rubbers. This last rule is the most important of all, for two colds out of three come from web feet." - • Things Worth Knowing. It is a remarkable feat that few bald men ever die of consuiription. The oil, ef tobacco found in the stem of long used pipes is one of the most active and powerful poisons known. Ordihary headaches . almost always yield to the simultaneous application of hot water to the feet and back of the neck. The habitual use of tea as a means of re- lieving headache, is, says a doctor, without doubt an efficient cause of rheumatism in numerous ways. Ducks are much more easily fed than chickens. Nothing seems to disagree with them es long as it is sound and sweet. The goose, if properly managed, lays as many eggs as the turkey, and can be raised to maturity at about one half the cost. It is estimated that, Missouri farmers re- ceived over $8,000,000 for their mules last yeaaei70. riT6he3number shipped from St. Louis w One of the advantages in keeping sheep is that they do not need an expensive build- ing as a shelter. A shed open on one side suits them as well as a tight barn, and even better, as they require considerable yenta lation.' A great deal of trouble is expended in educating the showy, high-stepping horses. He is trained to step high and act showily by,,being driven along a path whereon rails are set crosswise. He steps high to avoid stumbling, and in time always steps high. To cure knock-knees sleep with a pillow between them, fastening the ankles with a handkerchief. Have the heels of your boots prolonged on the inner Bide along the waist of the boot, and wear strong, lace up boots. A sick headache is often caused by eating too much and too rich food, and taking too little exercise. Sabstitute a simple, plain meal and a dessert of fruit for too much meat and too many rioh dishes. Take ex- ercise. Sanitation has proved that the use of gas in bedrooms is unwise, as it consumes by far too much oxygen; if, therefore, it is lighted before the occupants retire, they will find the atmosphere vitiated. It is a great mistake to aelieve thatthe amount of the vitiation is of no consequenoe becauee the flame is small, perhaps barely visible until wanted. The way to clean out vermin from caloriy or any kind of vegetables is to dissolve a pieta of sode, in a wineglaseful of hot water, and pour this into the bowl of salt and airater in which you have placed the vege- tables to steep after they are washed. This will effectively get rid of all worm. Those in the celery are so small and threa like that they might easily be overlooke and plsin water, or even salt water, do s not suffice to expel them. Few people are aware what an excellent tonic a cold water bath is far the eyes. Not the ordinary eponge bath, with closed lids, but opening the eyes and holding then open for a minute or more in clear mei water. To do this take a teacupful ef water and hold it close to the eye, againot the face, and open the eye In it.. Open and shut two or three times to - wash out • tbe eye. Then dry with it soft towel. Never rub your eyes; it is an exceedingly in jarioue practise, and children should be warned against it. If your eyes are weak put a iiinch of salt in the water. • Be Cured of Catarrh. It is quite easy to cure yourself of Cat- arrh or Asthma if you use Catarrhozone, the medicated air treatment for all diseases of the nasal and respiratory organs caused by geam life. Catarrhozone will oure,ab- solutety cure Catarrh, and is a very plea - ant remedy that can be used without dan- ger or risk whatever. When inhaled it rapidly volatilizes, and finds its way to tbe very seat of the disease, where it kills the microbic life that causes Catarrh and at the same time restores all irritated membranes to their normal condition effecting a per- manent cure.

The entrance le usually a lit. tle area, which is practically an extension of the street or sidewalk and defined by $ low platform or raised floor. From this modest eminence the proprietor and thosi about him greet the new guest with pro- found bows, their foreheads touching the floor repeatedly. There is no showy of- fice, no high desk, no lordly clerk, no big book for the guests' autograph—onlY a little table about 14 Inches high, with an inki3tone, suggesting that here the a.c- counts are made up. But the guest May not yet ascend. Ills 'hoes must be left in the area. That explains its shoeshep appearance.

Ours is a "ten mat" room—that is, It requires ten mats, each three feet by six feet to cover, or rather to form, the floor. The mat is made ot woven strain,. overlaid with ordinary matting and fi - 'shed with a firm border. Being soft an yielding under the foot, it is compara- tively noiseless. The furniture? A dainty doll table 12 inches high, a little lacquer tray with it tiny teapot and two small cups and san- cern, two floor cushions and a wall scroll —that is all. The sole heating epparatuira is a box of ashes with a nest' of coals. Beside the coals is a teakettle.

It was the first time I had heard the thing for yeare, and you hare no idea, how it carried me back to old times. This is the way it runs: 'Centel Jackeon mighty man— , Whew, my kingdom, fire away! He fight on sea, an he fight on lan'— Whew, my kingdom, lire away! "Genie' Jackson find de trail— ' Whew, my kingdom, tire away! - He make a fort wid cotton bale— _ Whaw, my kingdom, fire away! -- "There were other verses, nelisve, but those two .were the most popular, and back in the sixties and early, seventies you could hear the deckhands roning them at every landing. I hay often wondered why it was that the old time rohstabout songs hitee so entirely` disap- peared. The river negroes still chant at their work, of course, but, like the girl in the ballad, they 'do not sing the old songs —the songs of long ago.' Another fayor- ite that I remember had this refrain: "Heave away l Heave away! ' .

' "It. is generally supposed that women regard their weddine rings as sacred," remarked a Chestnut' street jeweler yes- terday, "but as a letter of tact they don't. Superficially they may give you this impression, but when you come right down to It they don't let a little matter like sentiment stand in the way of style. Stnle in wedding rings? Why, to be sure. The ring that is now used is a narrow cir- clet of gold which looks like little more than a guard for the other rings on the finger. But that isn't the point. What 1 want to emphasize is the fact that wom- en who were married years ago and whose wedding rings are the old style, masSiee affairs are coming in every day to have them altered to conform to the present style. Even elderly women with married daughters of their own seem to have little sentiment in the 'matter and haVe their heavy bands shaved down tq the size required by the present fashion." —Philadelphia Record. • I A Pleaaant Call.
