that the show en the 25th of April will be
the best that has been held in Brucefield for

DIED IN MANITOBA.—Many of our read-
ers will regret to hear of the death of Mr.
Hector McLean, a pioneer resident of the
county of Huron, anwho resided for many
years in the township of Morris. Mr. Mc-
Lean died at his home in Creeford, Manito-
ba, on the 12th of March, having reached M
the age of 79 years. r. McLean was a
native of Argyleshire, Scotland, where he
was born in March, 1821. He left the High-
lands with his parents when he was six
months old. They came to Canada and
settled in the county of Lanark, in the
township of Sherbrook. When quite a young
man he decided to strike out for himself,
.and leaving Lanark, he came to the county
of Huron, taking up a bush farm on the
3rd concession of the township of Morrie.
He was one of the first settlers in that dis-
trict. With the courage, indusery and
perseverance of so many of the other early
settlers, he cleared up his bush farm and
converted it into a comfortable home for
yoice and her every rendition was receiv d
with the ris, and twenty 'yeara ago this spring he
emigrated to Manitoba, settling near what
