died on Tuesday of last week after
a long and painful illness. The
jury retnrned a verdict of "died
of natural causes," and on the fol-
lowing day her remains were sent to
the Ladies' Medical College, Toronto.
It seems to us that the verdict
should have added to it, "but her
sufferings were undoubtedly inten-
sified by the fact that she wan dying
among criminals and knowledge that
Huron county lengislatore thought
the jail good enough for the poor."

the deceased was held by those
among whom he resided so long,
"An honest man is the noblest work
of God," and truly the late Thorn-
ton Wallace was such, in thought,
word and deed. He was a loving
husband and father, a good neighbor

will be much missed and much
lamented not only by his sorrowing
relatives but by the whole commun-

his infinite wisdom, to take him

both council and ratepayers will
regret if Mr. Patton shall feel com-

Andrews said butchers should bo
protected in their efforts to furnish
wholesome meals ; that the impos
ing' a transient traders license on
outside neat sellers might meet the
case ; or imposing of lieebse on all
butchers alike,doing busiones in the
town, on the same principle that
livery men are licensed.
Doane was in favor of leaving the
natter over for the next could' to
deal with.
Butcher Sctuton explained that
this was the season of the year when
the transient sellers of meat inter-
fered with the business of regular
dealers and asked that the prayer of
such a large number of petitioners
be complied with. The summer
trade would take caro of itself.
Steep was pleased to see Plum-
mer against protection.
Plummer was in favor of protec-
tion to the greatest number, not to
the few, which was monopoly.
Armstrong said a good word for
th°o town butchers, but was also in
favor of ptoteotion to the larger
number by allowing free trade in
sale of meat.
Ex -councillor Maywood was allow-
ed to say a few words and contended
that in spite of the large petition in
favor of regulating and licensing the
sale of fresh meat, it was not a repre-
sentative petition. The signers were
all business or professions.l men, no
real working men among them.
Those were not asked to sign tho
petition because they were opposed
to it and were the most interested.
' On motion of Doane andPluui•ner,
the fresh moat peddling business
was left over for next council to
deal with.
Petition from a considerable num-
ber of ratepayers for an electric
light" at railway crossing at old
station, St. James Ward, was re-
ceived and read.
Werry and McKenzie were in
favor of granting prayer of petition,
the locality referred to being the
darkest and most dangerous in
town.
Steep opposed it and said his part
of the town needed light more 'than
any other.
A proposed motion of McKenzie
and Wer1•y was ruled out of order
by the chairman who said
it must go to committee first.
(This was a mistake, the council
had power to grant prayer of peti-
tioners or not.—Ed.)
A motion to refer petition to pro-
perty committee was declared carni,
ed in spite of the protest of Mc-
Kenzie who was writing out an
amendment to the effect that the
prayer of petitioners be granted
and that the property committee
be authorized to ant in the matter.
Treasurer Robson'smonthly state-
ment was read and adopted.
Finance committee reported the
following accounts :—Geo. Rumbsll,
repairs to bell, $4.25; McKenzie,
lumber, $3.00 ; J. Green, wood $4;
G. Trowhill, 75c; Evans, teaming,
$1.35 ; Webb, $2; ; Cottle $3.85.
Month's receipts from town hall $20;
from scales $14 20. Committee re.
commended retiring $6,500 of de-

Canada Life Co., by paying them
out of current funds, the same to be
