Mr. J. S: McDougall who for so
niauy years occupied the position of
Div, Court Clerk in this town, died
last Wednesday. The deceased
who had reached the patriat•chial
age of 74, had been coufiued to his
bed fur some weeks, and so severe
was his case considered, that his
do iso was the only 'termination
looked for. Mr. McDougall, though
occupying a trying position, per-
formed trio duties of his office with
such skill and kindness as to retain
the friendship of the suitors in his
Court and a moug the general
public, (nut forgetting the little
ones who will long remember his
niauy fruit bounties) he was much
respected. The funeral took place
ou Friday morning from deceased's
late residence to St. Peters, whore
IIigh Mass was celebrated by Rev.
Father Walsh, and from thence to
•• the Colborne cemetery.
About forty • gentlemen were
present on Tuesday of last week at
a farewell dinner given to Mr. M.
G. Cameron, on his leaving town
to practice law in Toronto. The
dinner gotten up by Mr. Geo.
Cox of the British, was a sump
teous one, and was highly spoken
of by those present. The toasts
and speeches were, with the exeep•
tiou ofr': that of the guest of the
evening, of the usual post prandial
kind. Mr. Catneron in answer to
the toast "tlie guest of the evoning"
made a manly and eloquent res-
ponse, and 'we may say that, should
he live up to the professions, made
on the occasion, ore many years
have passed M, G. will be oue,of
the loading legal lights of Toroto.
We regret very much the removal
of Mr. M. G. Catneron, as he was
one of the few of his class that
interest themselves in the town's
welfare from an ardent desire to
advance the prospects of their
fellow citizens, and was (oven when
elections were not in prospect) a
gonial citizen, and a kindly friend
to many. We hope that our ex
Dopy Reeve's "bold step in jump-
ing into the midst of the keenest
competition," will shew "that the
hill has never yet lifted its face to
Heaven that porseyerence will not
gain the summit of at last."
On Wednesday las: Ait'. E. Bing•
ham, who had been seriously ill for
some weeks, departed this life.
Tho decease of our old townsman
was "sudden and most unexpected
at •,tho time as only a few hours
previously' ho seemed to be impro-
ving steadily. • The 'deceased had
been councillor for St. Andrews for
many years, most of which time he
held the position of chairman of
the Public works committee. As ,p
councillor he was moat energetic,
freely devoting his time and talents
to the town needs. Tho funeral
took place from the deceased's late
residence on Friday afternoon and
was very largely attended, Messrs.
W. L. Horton, Jno. G. Stivens,
M. G. Cameron, D. C. Strachan,
S. Malcolrnsou, and being
the pall bearers: The Oddfellows,
of which order deceased was a
member, wore present at the inter-
ment, thoir funeral services being
conducted at the grave by Bros.
Wm. Proudfoot and Geo. Stivens.
The rector of St. George's, Rev. W.
Young, conducted the church 'servi-
ces at the house and at .the grave.
Tho•deceasod will be much missed
by a host of friends, his residence
on -Huron's banks having always
boon open ; and the geniality and
whole -heartedness with which he
dispensed his hospitality will often
he recounted in the years to come.

eo N•rY t:t1.tND MA3.1'ER'S REPORT.
To the Right Worshipful the County
Grand Black Chapter of Huron and
Perth :
Dear Sir Knights and Brethren of the
Orange and Royal Black Institution,—We
are once more spared at this our annual
meeting to greet each other under that
great all•seeing eye of Divine Providence,
which has watched over us during the
past year and again permitted us to assem-
ble in the bonds of friendship and true
brotherly love. Dear Sir Knights, I am
glad to say that the Black Institution in
general, and within out local jurisdiction
in particular, is 01 a prosperous condition.
During thelast year Listowel Preceptory
has been paced in good wor,kiug order,
and has initiated seven of the Kincardine
Sons of Levi at one meeting. These seyon
Sir Knights organized a Royal Black Pre-
ceptory in the town'of Kincardine. i am
pleased to know that the Royal Black
Order is progressing so well in the totvn of
Clinton, under the, able ability of my
friends and brothers, Sir Knights A.. M.
Todd,Genrge Hanley and others. Ily this.
time next year Jubilee Preceptory No. 161
will likely be the banner Preceptory 6f
the united counties of Huron and Perth.
Dear Sir Knights, you are no doubt all
aware the Supreme Grand Black Chapter
of British North America will hold its
annual session in the town of Goderich
the coming June; it will be your duty to
appoint a committee to receive the visiting
Sir Knights. I have been your represent-
ative the past three years. It will he im•
possible for me to represent you at the
corning Snpreine session, as I leave about
die first of April for Queensland, Australia,
4ddttion31 Virgo
to become a resident of that colony. It is
with the deepest sorrow and regret that I
part with you all to make uow friends and
acquaintances in•that distant country. I
can say this, I have proved you all ou the
SQUARE towards me since I have become
your County Grand Master, especially my
old and esteemed friend Sir 'Knight John
Reid, of Goderich. It will be necessary
fur you, Sir 'Knights, to elect a new
County Grand Master, a Knight of the
Red Cross degree, to take my place, one
who will look after the Royal Black In-
stitution and the Orauge Older is general.
I therefore tender to you my resignation
as County Grand Master. I return to you
all my sincere thanks lir placing your
confidence, iu mo the past truce years.
May the great Three its One, and One hi
Throe guide and protect you all as true
and Christian Knights of the Camp of
Israel.

Richard Bloomfield, Esq., l'ast C. 0.•,lf.
• of Huron and Perth : -
Dear Sir Knight,—We, th'± officers and
members of this County Grant Black
Chapter learn with deep regret that you
are about to leave this fair county-Cau-
ada—for Anstralia. During your resi-
dence of a lifetime in the County of
Huron, we can but say that all your actions
have been meritorious. . The glorious
Black Institution has prospered under
your care as our highest county olicer,
grown in importance, and to -day the
Order in this county has few equals in
the Province. We desire to acknowledge
your indefatigable interest its the Order
and our affection for you, and would ask
you to accept this EMBLEM of the ];lack
Order, not on account of its value, but
merely as a slight token of our esteem.
\Ve sincerely wish Mrs. Bloomfield and
yourself a safe yoyage and a prosperous
future in your new home. Though separ-
ated by a vast stretch of laud and sea—fa
month's voyage—we shall always cherish
a fond remembrance of you. May the
precepts of our Order guile and protect
you and yours through the journey of
life, and filially terminate in that grand
Preceptory above where partings are no
more.
Signed on behalf of the County Grand

no pains to make it what it proved
to be, a great success: After ample
justice had been done to the good
things with which the tables were
loaded a crowded house greeted
the Rev. Wm Craig, Rector of
Clinton, Mr Shearer and the ladies
and gentlemen of St. Paul's Church
, choir who had very kindly' come
out to furnish the musical and
literary part of the evening enter-
tainment. A lengthy programme
was gone -through which was con-
cluded by the singing of the Nit-
ioual Anthem. The incumbent
at the close thanked the Rev. Mr.
Craig and the choir for their kind-
ness in coming out. Aud the thanks
of'the congregation are tendered to
the lloltunsville Methodist church
for their kindness in lending their
church tables, benches, etc. for the
entertainment. The net proceeds
amounted to $26.45. ,

wish, through the columns of your
valuable paper, to bear testimony to
the high appreciation in which tri,

hearts of both parents and children.
As a teacher ho has made for hitnself
a record equalled by few and excelled
by none. During his term here
eleven pupils have passed the High

is not a 'bad showing for a rural
school. At•tlte same time Mi. Cooper
has not neglected to store his os\ n
