• pEATI18,—Mr. W. Foster, Toren -
to, , earne bare last week with t eir only
remaining child, but death has also
claimed this one, she dying on Tuesday
afternoon. A daughter of Mr George
Glasgow died on Tuesday night, after
a somewhat lingering illness. A son
of Mr E. Herman, who has been ailing
only a short time, died on Wednesday
morning. Mrs. Chambers, for many
years a resident of town, but who has
been visiting her son in the northwest,
died there this week; her' remains are
being brought to Clinton for interment.
FARM CHANGES.—Mr LawrenceMan-
ning, of ton, has rented his farm on
the base line, Goderich township, lat
present occupied by his son) to MiLa.w-
son, of Holmesville; Mr Manning, jr.,
purposes visiting the Northwest. Mr
Alex Watt, of the Base Line, Mullett,
has bought the 100 acre farm on the
mill road, Tikkersmith, known as the
Cooper farm; it has good buildings, and
was mirchased at $6500; we believe that
it is MrWatt's intention to move there-
to, and he wants to rent the property
he is on to enable him to do so.
A PIONEER.—Henry Ransford, Esq.,
(father of Messrs R. and J. Ransford)
an justly claim to be a pioneer—if not
the pioneer— of the ffurontract, he
having taken up land herelin May,
1832, not quite 60 years ago. He is yet
a hale and hearty man, a beautiful
photograph of him received from the
old country last week by one of his
sons, showing him as well preserved,
with an unusually fine physique for a
man bordering on 90 years, and seem-
ingly with at least 25 years of life yet
ahead of him. Nature has dealtalEindly
with him, and he has had the good judg-
ment not to disagree very seriously
with nature during his long course of
years. •
A LOCALCASH.—Justice Falconbridge
rile judgment last week in Carter v.
sforcl, an action tried at Goderich,
This was an action by the widow of
Charles Carter, late of the township of
Tuckersmith, farmer, against the ex-
-ecutors-of hia-will,for dower and con—
striction of the will. The defendants
at the trial admitted all the facts set
out n the pleadings and submitted
their rights to the court. Judgment
declaring the plaintiff entitled to dower
out. of the lands mentioned in the
statement of• claim, and charging her
with the value of the property convey-
ed to her by the deed of separation.
Costs to all parties out of the estate;
those of the defendants as between so-
licitor and client. James Scott, Clin-
ton, for plaintiff. Garrow, Q. C., for
defendants.
LICENSE STATISTICS.—The following
facts are taken from the report of the
Provincial Treasurer, for 1891, just
issued:—Hotel Licenses issued in East
Huron, 24; South Huron, 39; West
Huron, 40; 6 shop licenses were issued,
against II in 1889'and 38 in 1874. The
• municipalities in East Huron received
as their proportion of the license fees,
a total of$761. those in South Huron
.received, $24.43.48; and those in West
Huron 42715.27; the difference between
the last two and first being accotinted
for by the presence of the towns in
them. The fines collected were:—East
Huron, $130; South Huron, $230; West
Huron, $340. This shows that the law
was either better observed in the other
ridings, or that Inspector Paisley dis-
charged his duties m the West Riding
more efficiently than the others. The
commitals for drunkenness in Huron,
were only 5, as against 18 in 1881.
No'rEs.—Mr Geo. Stewart purposes
taking a trip to Manitoba soon; he
owns considerable land there. Coun-
terfeit ten cent pieces in circulation in
several place. They are very fine im-
itations in appearance, and can only be
discovered by the ring. Division Court

Mr Elmhurst, late book-keeper with
Macpherson & Hovey Co., has taken a
situation in Toronto. The late Hugh
Moore had a small paid-up insurance
on his life. Mr Eby Rumball had the
misfortune to get the fingers of his
right hand badly cut, by a shaper in
the shop of Macpherson & Hovey Co.,
Monday morning. A boy was driving
a colt in a cutter, on Albert St., Mon-
day noon, when it undertook to run

ior City, where he will residein future;
he has rented his property here to Mr

has taken a position with Mr J. Biddle-
combe. We understand that Mrs

residence in Detroit, where one of her
daughters reside. Mr and Miss Mc-

syfnpathy is manifested for people in

leges of the Church, by the con-

in its history, attendance better, con-
tributions larger and all the members
taking a deeper interest in the work.

gational year end with the calendar
year,and that the annual meeting be
held in January as soon after the close
of the year as possible. The meeting
