P. fo East York, died at his home in Toronto shortly after 12 o'clock op Saturday night last. He has been a physical suf ferer for the past 10 or 12 years and had not been able to take his seat in th present session of parliament. Early in February he sustained an accidental fall which roved the beginning of th breaking up of his constitution and from which he never recovered. The death of Hon. Alexander Macken zie removes one of the most prominen figures in the political history of Cana da. He was born on Jan. 22, 1822, in Scotland, and made his own way.in th world from the age of 14, when hi parents died. After working at hi trade as a stone mason in Scotland fo some time he emigrated to Canada in 1842 and settled in _Kingston, where h worked for a .time as a journeyman an then removed to Sarnia, where he be came a contractor and builder._ In 185 he became editor of a paper in Sarnia taking an actives part in politics in sup port of the Reform party. His brother, Hope McKenzie, afte tre.resenting Lambton for a time, de clined renomination and Alexande Mackenzie took his place in 1862 since which time he has continuously been a member. He soon plunged into the de bates then of paramount importance supporting Sanfield Macdonald and of terwards the McDonald-Dorion admin- istration. He soon made his mark in the House as a ready and fluent speak- er who had the political history of his country at his finger ends, and who was thoroughly acquainted with the require- ments of the times. His speeches, al- though they made no pretence to im- passioned flights of oratory, or even to any consummate breadth of statesmen - ship, were marked by earnestness and practical common sense. He displayed a wonderful aptitude for dealing with things requiring a knowledge of minute and complicated details, and he was co -von then regarded by his fellow -mem- bers as an encyclopedia of Canadian statistics. At the election following Confedera- tion Hon. Geo. Brown, having been de- feated, did not seek a new constituency, and iMIr. Mackenzie was chosen as leader of the Opposition, and practically held that post up to 1874 when, his party be- ing successful at the polls, he was called to the Premiership of the only Reform government since Confederation. From 1871 to 1874 he sat in the Local House for West Middlesex, and onlyre- signed his place there when dual repre- sentation ceased. He remained Premier of the Domin- ion until 1878 when he was swept out of office by the wave of Protection that carried Sir John back to power. During his term of office he caused some gaod legislation to be placed on the statute books. In 1875 he visited his native land and was received everywhere he went with the high honors which his ad- vancement justly entitled him to. After the downfall of his government he again took the leadership of the opposition, but shortly afterwards, through internal strife within his party he retired from that position and remained in compara- tive retirement as Member for East York. Throughout all his life honesty and consistency of purpose shines out, and he received the highest respect of honest _nen on both sides of politics, and now there is true mourning over his death among Reformers and Conservatives alike. - He will, like the late Hon: Geo. Brown and Hon. Mr. Dorion, hold a high place among Reformers who have risen by their own exertions, long after those who knew his familiar face have passed, with him, over to the silent majority. Rev. j. W. Waddell Explains. The GAZETTE published a week or two ago, an item stating that Rev. Mr. Wad- dell had left the Baptist church on ac- count of a ,change in his views regarding the doctrine of that body. In a long and exhaustive letter to the- Port Elgin Times Rev. Mr. Waddell gives his reason `for leaving. He explains, first, that he never was a member of any other than a Baptist church. He was educated. at Woodstcck College and McMaster Hall, and was ordained in East Nissouri Baptist church in October, 1888. The principal point of "difference between Mr. Waddell and the Baptists appears to have arisen on the mode of Baptism as practised in the church;a states that Baptists contend- that the Greek word baptizo signifies dip, plunge or immerse, and that it is a term denoting action and not an effect resulting hem an action. If this view_ is emcee then our Lord has, he holds, commanded the performance of a specific notion such as. Baptists practise, and _that action and no other is the ordinance ; hence in all es, en tries acid extni440 it xmst die • true ` that all who have not been im- mersed are nnbaptised and have not the right to partake of the Lord's supper: With this rendering of the word bap- tizo Mr. W. disagrees, stating that in 236 sentences in which the word is found it has been proven beyond doubt that Baptizo does not denote any specific action whereby the person baptised gets under the -water. After thorough ex- amination Mr. Waddell comes to the conclusion that there is but one •'- baptism, and that is the baptism of Holy Spirit. Ritual baptism, however, he does admit, whether performed by sprinkling, dipping or immersion, but only as symbolic of the purified con- dition of the soul that has first receives the baptism of the spirit. With regare to infant baptism Mr. Waddell contench that, although by the fall of Adam al are born in sin, yet through the re- demption of Christ all are redeemed as infants and have a right to baptism.

A burglar bored a circular hole in the rear door of the Ontario Bank, Peter - bora' and, securing entrance, ransacked the teller's drawer, carrying away a re- volver and a tin box containing the remants of the teller's lunch, and which the visitor evidently thought was filled with cash. No attempt was made upon the vault. There were 39 prisoners confined in the Brant County Goal during the quarter ending March 31st. Total number of days served, 540, showing an average cost of 6.83 cents per day for each prisoner. This means that prison- ers are fed for 45 cents per week, and they come out fat and slick too. This statement will make the average board. ing house missus' heartache. i A Mr. Ross, of Berlin, was in Hanover the other day trying to organize a com- pany for the purpose of manufacturing felt socks. Mr. D. Knechtel has con- sented to take $2,700 in the company, and Mr. Ross and his friends in. Berlin, will take 12,000 leaving about $1,500 more to be taken by Hanover people. It is the intention of the company to give employment to about fifty men. If the company is not organized in Har. over it is said that one will be formed in Berlin, and the felt machinery in the old factory at Hanover will, be taken to that town.

Elliott, Pres.; Ryerson, Bethune, Scott, Smith, Fer- guson,Godfrey, .Amos, Cooper, Turn - hull, Shaw, Worthington, McLachlan, Stanbury, Armstrong, Gibson and Gunn. Owing to . the unavoidable absence of some of the members, the arranged pro- grarnme was not fully Qarried out. A telegram from Dr, Halford Walker, of Toronto, egMssin, regret at not being ableto be present, was read. Dr. Ryerson, of Toronto, read a paper on "neglected runningfrom the ear apd what comes of it ; Jae ridiculed the idea that to stop the discharge was in- jurious," pointed out that deafness, in- flammation, abscesses were not in- frequent consequences of neglecting the discharge. A number of caseswere presented by members and discussed: Dr. Ryerson received a vote of thanks for his paper, and was elected an honor ary member of the Association. The next meeting will be held in S,eaforth in July. The new Torcnto C. P. R. ticket office is a perfect beauty.
