JACKSON.—After -a brave struggle for life and 'allthe arts of medical gull had been exhausted, nature cduld hold out no more, and the spirit of Mrs Thomas Jackson, jr., took its flight to a better world on • Friday night last. A few weeks ago she was visiting friends in Toronto, and it is supposed that while in the city, she con- tracted the illness that has resulted in her untimely death, for almost imme- kItiately after her return here, she was aka," up. She was the eldest daughter of Mrs Greg, late of Pickering, now of town, and had not yet reached her 29th year. She was a particular favorite with all who knew her, because of her naive modesty and winning simplicity; she was an active worker, as far as op-, portunity would allow in the various organizations of Willis church,and her "life was one of simple trustand abiding confidence in her Saviour. The esteem - in which she was held and the sym- pathy manifested for her bereaved husband, was expressed by the very large number who followed her re- mains to the grave. Mr Jackson being a member ofthe Public School Board, the other menaberSthereOf follOwed the procession, and Mrs Jackson being a member oftheCanadian Order of Home Circles, the male members of this or- ganization also followed her remains to their resting place, and took part in the burial service, while all business houSes showed their respect by closing up at the time of the funeral. She leaves a family of three children, and to say that Mr Jackson, in this great affliction, has the sympathy of all who hjiow him, feebly expresses the heart- eelings that go out to him at this time. Beautiful floral wreaths were sent from the Methodist choirs, the Home .Circle, friends in Toronto, Berlin and in town. all that tin* he had never intentiOnally given, a vote,spoken zt word, or per- Wrraed an action that he believed. to be against the publie interest. He ad - witted that there might have been errors of judgement, but in not one solitary instance could his opponents say that he had intentionally done wrong. Referring to the vile, villainops and filthy slanders that had been in- sinuated against his private character, he silenced his traducers by producing affidavits entirely and couipletely exon- erating him froni the base charges, and was willing to submit the affidavits to a committee composed of his oppon- ents. He alluded to various xnatters in his public career, stated that the Riding was over run with men who had been proved in the courts to be bood- lers of the worst kind, that the Govern- ment was bound to carry the riding if money would carry it, hilt hoped the good sense and judgment of the elec- tors would frustrate their base designs, b 'again returning himas their member. r Olameron was followed by Mr J.S, rke, of Oshawa, who was allowed three quarters of an hour. Mr Larke is known as a good campaigner. and he has a faculty that is at times pleasing to an audience, but he does not always deal in facts, and in his address there were as many mis-statements and il- logical arguments as could well be compressed within the time. He was followed by Mr W. Patterson, M. P. for South Brant, who delivered one of the very ablest speech- es on the trade question that has ever been given anywhere. It was a speech that carried convic- tion. A speech that was irrefutable. A speech that dwelt with the question ably, impartially, and on broad lines. A speech that showed Canada's re- quirements ahd necessities, and the wtty these can be met. He was follow- ed for a few moments by Mr W. T. R. Preston, Secretary of the Reform As- sociation of Ontario, who went on partially similar lines to those of Mr Patterson, but showing also the willing- ness of the Americans to trade with us for a measure of full and unrestricted reciprocity; and practially expos- ing the hollowness of some of Mr Lark's arguments, winding up one of the best meetings of the campaign. Rousing cheers were given for Cameron and the Que,m. Mr John Crerar, Q. C., of Hamilton, spoke the same evening in the interest of Mr Cameron at a Conservative meeting held at Smith's Hill, his opponent on the platform being Mr Cochrane, of toll and bridge fame. g CLITO EW ERA, $000raminespippaimialiworn PRINTS NOTEs.—Mr Jos.

Assessors all over started their work according to law, on Monday; they have until the 1st of May tp finish; there should be a general effort made to increase the as-_ sbssmentgbfi ihchnie, put them tip and if men like to swear them down, all right.

Millar) who last week, as men- tioned, lost his eldest son, and who has since lost his youngest child, at Har- riston, where the children were taken with the hope that they would escape the prevalent ailments of Toronto. Conductor McKenzie, of the Goderich line, added another son to his family this week, and in consequence did not make his usual runs. Dr R. J. Gibson has gone into partnership with Dr. Gunn; they will make a strong team. Mr McDonald, who is employed at McTaggart's, got his arm dislocated the other day by a horse striking him. Mrs Wm. Monahan, of Wyman, Mich., died this week; she was the eldest daughter of Mr Andrew Ginn, and was well known in town. The Eli Perkins' series of lectures given in this county and elsewhere the other week, on be- half of a church organization in the county, did not pan out well, the pro- jector being out of pocket a consider- able sum; at one place, where there was a promise of a Food house, they PUBLIC TESTIMONIAL.—On Saturday -afternoon last Mr A. H. Manning was the recipient of a testimonial of $450, presented by Messrs W. Jackson and R. Holmes on behalf of the donors.— It is generally known that for several mpnths Mr Manning has been confined to his house, and that during that time he has been called upon, both by be- reavement and family affliction, to suf- fer very severely. These, and his other- wise weak condition, have retarded his recovery, and recently his physician ordered him to try a warmer climate. As soon as this was known a few friends thought the time opportune to make a presentation in acknowledgment of his many services to the town. — The amount was raised by the busi- ness men and others, of town, aided by two generous contributors in Goderich. No testimonial was ever raised more easily, all classes responding with cheerfulness, and had time allowed of a more careful canvas, the amount, large as it was, would certainly. have been much larger, as the unanimous opinion was that no one deserved it better. His friends in Ontario St Church were also very generous in their assistance. Mr iffanning's ac- knowledgment is .found in the follow- ing letter:— • To Tux NEW ERA—Please allow me to acknow- ledge through your columns the unexpected, and 1 ana sure undeserved, testimonial made to me on Saturday last by our citizens. Some other time, if an opportunity should be given me, when I an stronger I shall try and more suitably acknowledge the kindness of my friends, lly heart is full of gratitude and I pray that good health, prosperity and happiness may be the lot of all my fellow townspeople. I am going away tot few weeks to seek in a warmer climate to restore my health and strength, and 0 these be granted me I hope to come back to render you florae service in days to come. If a wise Provi- dence orders otherwise let un all strive submiss- ively to say "Thy will be done." Yours gratefully, A II MANNING. Mr Manning accompanied by his wife, left on the afternoon train for Florida State. They will remain at Exeter for a few days, where Mrs Manning, sr., is visiting, It is the sincere hope of evewbody that the change will be beneficial, and that ere long, he may return fully restored to health. POLITICAL.—A rousing and enthu- siastic meeting in ths: interests of Mr Cameron, the Liberal candidate, was held in the town hall here on Tuesday night, the building being packed to the doors. A large nureber of ladies were among those who for four hours gave close attention to the discussion of pub- lic affairs. Mr D. A. Forrestor occu- pied the chair, and called upon Mr -Cameron first to address them. The ringing cheers, given again and again, showed that he had lost none of the Byrn athy of his friends here.
