DEATH OS' MR.• WILLIAM F0wLER.—:`.1r.
William Fowler departed this life att his
residence in Harpurhey, on 'Sunday lest.
He had rceched the age of 72 years. He
had been in _peor health for •about, three
years, but was always able to get about len-
til a few months ago. Mr. Fowler was one
of the oldest residents of this) district, hav-
ing come here from the old country when
quite a young -man, and settling on the
Huron road, in Tuckeremith, west of Sea -
forth. He had a fine farm there of 200 acres.
For many years, in addirlon to laming,he
carried on an extensive _cattle buying and
droving Ersiness. In the earlier days him-
self and Mr. Thomas Govenlock were the
principal cattle buyers of this county. In
those days the animals were all shipped to
and sold in Buffalo. There was money in
the cattle business then. After the Amer-
ican trade dropped off, Mr. -Fowler did not -
do muds in this line, but -devoted himself
principal'to his farming interests. He
was consi ered a good judge of etock, was a
*shrewd ht sinees man, and. had: the confid-
ence of all with whom .he did business. The
country was much indebted to enterprising
men like Mr. Fowler in the earlier days.
They kept a lot of money in circulation and
helped materially to build up the commer-
cial and agricultural interests of this new
country. about two years ago he disposed
of his farm and came to reside in Harpur-
hey. In days gone by he was one of the
best known men in the vicinity, and was re.
spected for his many good qualities of head
and heart by all who knew him. He leaves
a widow and family of five daughters and
two sons. Both sons are prosperous busi-
ness men in Dakota. The remains were
interred in Harpurhey cemetery on Tues.

fluent, easy, eagneet, graceful peaker, and
keeps the close attention of her andience,
while she places' truth before them in a most
attractive and at the same time plain man-
ner. It is apity that there were not more
present to hear her address on Monday
evening. At the close she was awarded a
most hearty vote of thanks and an oppor-
tunity was given for those present who
were mit already members of the Union, to

THE S1'RIN1G SltRW.—The spring show, at
Bruoefield, oh Wednesday last, under the
auspices of the South Huron Agricultural So-
ciety, wars fairly successful, although the at-
tendance was not nearly as large, as it should
have been. It is also a fact that those who
have good horses and bulls, and who are
vitally interested in good stock, do not
take the interest in this show and give it
the encouragement they should. How-
ever, on Wednesday, there was a very fine

TWENTY -8 mean AtiNIVER5A10.% —The An-
cient Order of Coined Workmen in this
town, celebrated the twenty-second anni-
versary of their orgatization of the local so-
ciety by an "ab home " in the Oddfellows
Hall, on Tuesday evening. There was a
large attendance of members and their lady
friends, and a most enjoyable evening was
spent by all. The chair was occupied by
Mr. George Patterson, and it is needless to
say that the duties were most efficiently
performed. lengthy and varied program-
me of vocal and instrumental music, recita-
tions, readings and addresses was given, and
where all did so well, it would be invidious
to particularize.. Suffice it to say that every
number was all that could be desired, and
we have no doubt that all went home not
only feeling that they had spent a profitable
evening, but haviegee, better understanding
of the objects and anns of thia mat excel-
lent society, and grateful to the efficient
committee of management for having pro-
vided so pleasant an evening's entertain-
ment.

Dublin next week. He will be greatly

ENTERING LADYSMITIL—We have already
published extracts from letters received by
Mise R. Brine from her cousin, a gunner in
Buller's army in South Africa. We are
againepermitted to make the following ex-
tract from a letter written by the same gen-
tleman. This letter was written from Lady-
smith, and is dated March 3rd. It says :
"You will see by thedate of my letter that
we have relieved Ladysmith at last, after a
very hard and trying time. We had a
great victory on the 25th and 26th of Feb-
ruary, doing great execution to the Boers.
It was a grand sight to see our fellows get-
ting in among the Boers with the bayonets,
sticking them right end left, and when our
men got into the Boer trenchee they fled in
all diifectlons, leaving their dead and wound-
ed fori us to look after. My regiment was
rathei lucky, as we only lost three -wounded.
We happened to be escort to the guns. We
had on the 25th and 26th 95 big guns in ac-
tion, all trained on the enemy's position.
After, the- battle was over, Myself and a
couple of °hums went round to see the Boer
trenches and position, and the sight that
'net our gaze was awful. There were dead
lying about in all directions, unburied, and
the dead they had butied were only in about
three inches of ground. One could see a
hand here and a leg there, sticking out of
the ground, and in two or three places I saw
a female lying dead. I suppose they had
come down from the Transvaal to see their
husbande and sweethearts, and. remained too
long to get back, and the consequence was
that they got shot by accident. We had a
very unpleasant job of burying their dead,
and they Must have suffered severely. I
had not seen a tent for over five weeIs until
just recently, so you may guess we have had
rather a rough time. We expect to remain
in Ladysmith for a couple of weeks, o have
a rest before we startefighting again. When
we marched into Ladysmith the peo le and
troops of the beleagured town lined the
streets and cheered us as we passed. I
*suppose they must have felt very joyful
after being shut up so long. Some of the
soldiers looked very thin and emaciatede
and no wonder, considering the "high" liv-
ing they had. Their rations were one pound
of horseflesh and one and a half biscuit' for
each man per clay.1 Not very much to fight
Boers on." 1

Hostr,, SWEET HOME.—Mr. Alexander
Broadfoot writes from Atlantic, Iowa, as
followe, and from whom many of our read-
ers will be glad to hear. He says : " A8
was sitting musing upon tho fast passing
year and century, my mind was turned to
old'- Tuckersmith, the scene of child-
hood, and old memorial scenes, on the
old Bayfield river, especially at " Brigend."
Well, twenty-seven years have about passed
since the whistle of the last departing train
carried me away with my grip in my hand
and my trunk checked, which were all my
possessions. But the great west was before
me, and an independent home was my de-
sire ; but it took grit to stand up to it,
parting with perhaps my hundreds of rela-
tives to value a home of my own more.
And landing in the centre of the State of
Kansas, I secured a home for $14 50 from
Uncle Sam, the " fat man." He said :
"Farm it good and you will have plenty of
bread and butter." Well, I told him I was
a timber rat, but I was sure I could plough,
and that was the first farm work after get-
ting my 12x16 house built. It was one
story high, with one door and two windows,
room for bed, table, stoves5uid three chairs,
and how we could find re -1i n for one whole
family of five, coming from old Huron, to
live with us, is somehoiv a mystery, as I
look back. But there was lots of room for
such welcome guests, and the nights were
well spent over our boyhood days. There
would be laughter till perhaps it would be
broken in upon by sobs from some homesick
one. Still days went on till our homes
were sweet to us, and visiting friends were
entertained by sweet music on the organ.
And now, at this writing., the vast prairie,
without a twig, is covered With fine homes,
fine orchares, hedges and trees that shade
the dooryard and beautify homes, with,
perhaps TUE HURON EXPOSITOR to read ef
old home. But on account of health I was
compelled to remove to Iowa, where I be-
gan a new farm andsbuilt it up in „a like
way. But this last fall I rented my farm
of 440 acres and removed to this place to
take life somewhat easier, and the boys
have gone west again to handle stock on a
large ranch of buffalo grass. And now, at
my leisure, I desire to read once more the
old HusoN EXPOSITOR, to hear iron') old
home again. Did you eyer sing " Home
again from a foreign shdre ?" With love to
you and all old Huron friends, I remain,
