SHANNON HAS RESIGNED. —At the meeting of the directors of the McKillop Mutual Fire Insurance Company, held in Seaforth on Friday last, Mr. W. J. Shannon tendered his resignation as secretary and treasurernf the company, to take effect after the annual meeting. This action on his part was rendered necessary owing to impaired health, as he is not loisger able 'to discharge the duties. Mr. Shannon's suc- cessor will be appointed by the directors at their first meeting after the close of the annual meeting. We understand there are likely to be numerous applicants for the position, but who the fortunate man will be it is impossible to say. It behoves the di- rectors, however, to be careful in making a choice, as much of the success of the com- pany depende upon the efficiency and re- liability of the secretary -treasurer. Mr. Shannon has filled the position for nearly a gnarter of a century, and a more careful, efficient and faithful officer could not be de- sired. Under his direction the company has prospered and has done a good work, and it will not be an easy matter to fill his place, and all will deeply regret the causes which make his retirement necessary. • SUDDEN DEATH. —A very sudden death occurred in Seafoith, on Thursday evening of last week. On that afternoon Mrs. Wm. Chapman, of the 2nd concession of Tucker - smith, L. R. S., with her son and daughter, Mre. Sinclair, drove to town to do some shopping. While in the grocery store of Mr. A. G. -Ault, and while sitting at the counter, she suddenly became faint and ill. Mrs. Sinclair, whaiwes standing by her side, did everything poesible to give her relief, and Mr. Ault sent for Dr. Scott, who came promptly to her aid. It was not considered safe to take her home, and she was removed to the residence of Mr. Wm. Copp, Gode- rich street, and Mr. Chapman and other members of the family were sent for. Every- thing possible was done° for her, but she never rallied, and passed peacefully away about eleven o'clock that night. Heart dis- ease was the cause of death. Previous to leaving home she seerned to be in the enjoy- ment of her usual good health, and never complained until the sudden attack above described. Mrs. Chapman's maiden. name was Jane Brown. She was nearly 64 years of age. She was a 'native of Banf, Scotland, and, with her„husband, came to this coun- try ia 1856, and settled in Onondago. They afterwards removed to the township of Hay, where they lived twelve years, then coming to Tuekersmith, and settling on the 2nd con- cession, where she continued to reside until her death. She loaves a family of four sons and four daughters, of whom are grown up. Mrs. Chapman was a particularly kind and amiable woman, and was sincerely be- loved by all who knew her. Her sudden deatkwill be a severe bereavement to the hueband and family, who have the sincerest sympathy of many friends. The remains were interred in Baird's cemetery on Tues- day. • Eo.mON o VILLE NOTES. —Those who faced the storm on Sabbath afternoon were amply rewarded by hearing a splendid sermon from the Rev.;MniSawers, a grand, practical discourse, full of eloquent passages.—Miss Beattie, of Watford, was the guest ef her aunt, Mrs. John Beattie, of this village, for teveral days lately.—Mr. John McW mine, of Michigan, is here spending a fe days with his brotherin-law, Mr. Jacob Se inidt. —Those of our readers who were so privi- leged, were much pleased at recei ing a New Year's call from Mr. W.

There swas e large crowd of people in town. There waaa large nuinber of horses, and we have heard of. several good sales. Some, of course, who brought horses in did not make sales- and went home disappointed. There was 'no lack of offers however, for all the stock in the market,' and where sales were not made, the' prices offered were not considered high enough. Many horses that were net sold on Wednes: day will be looked up hereafter by the buy- ers, and will likely change hands before long. It is not the sales that take place on fair day that measure the success of the fair altogether, as the buyers find out where the stock is and frequently hunt them up afterwards and make purchases, whereas had they not been brought to the fair their whereabouts would not have been known. The following well known buyers from a distance were present : Hay, Listowel ; McLean, Goderich ; Easton & 'McTavish, Stratford ; Honey, Mitchell; Record, Mon- treal. In addition to these the local buy- ers were out in full force. Ths, fair, on the whole, was generally -pronounced a 'success. Both buyers and sellers should bear in mind the next fair, Which wiil be held on .
