pleasantly. There was a goodly attend-
ance, considering the state of the
roads. Revs. Messrs .e.tcheson, Wal-

ceptably.
NOTES. -Robert Metcalf, 'of Marlette,

Wednesday of last week: One of those
pleasing events which serve to relieve
the monotony of every day life, took
place at Hayfield on Wednesday of
last week, being the marriage of Miss
Charlotte PeckSygrand daughter of Mr
Wm. Peck, Goshen line, and Mr W.
Johnson, Hayfield; the wedding was a
quiet one, only the nearest relatives
being present. An excellent paper on

NOTEs. - Quite a number of our
young folks spent a very pleasant and
social evening at ex -warden Heys', on
Friday last. Mr R. McMillian is off to
Manitoba and the northwest, taking
with him quite a number of horses.,
A ROMANCE. - Our usually quiet
village was thrown into quite an ex-
citement the other evening, when it
became known that three of our most
estimable young ladies were missing,
and withal had forgotten to return
their conveyance: The owner beconia-
ing somewhat alarmed at the too long
absence of his horse and rig, set out a t
once in search of the youthful trio,
and eventually succeeded in overtak-
ing their la,dyehips, apparently making
for the Morris boundary. He easily
induced them to return and the whole
affair is hushed up. They had pro-
bably been reading works an adven-
ture such Gullivar's Travels, Odd
people on the earth, and. such like, and
thus occurredthisromantic episode in
their lives which they will not soon
forget or be allowed to forget.
NOTES. -The Phonograph concert
came off on the 8th inst., and was
listened to by an appreciative audience;
the selections rendered could be heard
distinctly in every :part of the hall ; the
Glee Club sang twice and Miss Annie
Baker, of Hayfield, and Miss Wanless,
of Varna, rendered it couple of solos
effectively. Mrs Martindale and fa-
mily, who have been the guests of Mrs
G. Burgess for some time past, return-
ed to her home in West Superior.

Mr and Mrs A. Stalker have left here

by the Hayfield citizens. One of those
interesting events occured on the 9th
inst., when Mr W. G. Johnson was
joined in the holy bonds of matrimony
to Miss Charlotte Peck, at the parson-
age, by Rev Mr Thibeadeau; we wish
the young couple every success. Mr
Thomas Johnson left for pakota this
week. Mrs John Whiddian gave the
young people a very pleasant party
some evenings ago, and the boys and
girls enjoyed themselves exceedingly
well. Mrs: Alex. Granger entertained
a mamba.' of the young people at her
place on Saturday evening. We are
very sorry indeed to learn of the death
of Mrs Esson, which occurred at London
last week.

BEREAVEMENT. -Last week we were
again reminded of the shortness of life
by the death of the infant daughter of
Mr and Mrs Jas Tobin. The little one
died Sunday, being a little over five
months old. Thus are we reminded
that not only must the aged die, but
often the young also. The funeral on
Tuesday `6 as attended by a good num-
ber of sympathizing friends and neigh-
bors.
JOY AND GLADNESS. -While one fa-
mily in our midst sorrows because of
the loss of a little one, another has
been made glad by the addition of an-
other in their home. Such is the deal-
ing cf Him who rules over us all, each
have their times of sadness and rejoic-
ing, which is all for the best, though
we sometimes fail to think so. The
rejoicing parents of whom we speak are
Mr and Mrs Jas McManus, a little
daughter being born on Sunday morn-
ing.
NOTES. -MF D. Cumming and J.
Horton attended the Reform conven-
tion held in Clinton last week. Mr J.
Clutton spent a short time with rela-
tives in Stratford last week. The sale
of farm stock and implements at Mr H.
Belton's, on Wednesday last, was very
largely altended, and things went at a
very fair rate, with the exception of
horses; Mr Relton and family leave for
Windsor about the lst of April. Miss
R. Gordon, who has been residing in
this neighborheod for some months,
left thig week for her home at Shep-
perdton; this leaves a blank in our
midst which will be hard to fill as
where ever Rachel was there would be
some fun.

strength and energy were required 40
clearing the forest and in erecting
buildings, he was always amongst the
foremost. His neighbors were not
slow to discern his many admirable
qualities of head and heart, as they
conferred many positions of honor and -
trust upon him. He was for many
years a member of both the township
and county council and was a magis-
trate until his death, and always dis-
charged his duty promptly and fear-
lessly. In politics he was an unflinch-
ing Liberal and was always a zealous
worker in the Reform cause, although
many of his staunchest personal friends
were Conservatives. He excelled in
History and English Literature, and
as a debater he had few equals. In
religion he was a life long Presbyterian
but was very tolerant to other denom-
inations, but above all he was a true
Christian and possessed a sound moral
principle which always guided him in
all his dealings with his fellow man.
He was a kind husband and father, his
integrity Was beyond reproach and his
word was his bond, he was in short
one of nature's noblemen, loved and
respected by all who had the pleasure
of his acquaintance. Although he had
reached the allotted span of three score
and ten years and two more, yet to all
external appearances he was likely to
live for many years more, yet how

CHURCH. -An unusually large con-
gregation gathered at, the Methodist
church, last Sunday evening, to hear
Rev Mr Irvine, of Kippen, his subject '
being the educational- scheme of the
church. His sermon was full of power
and to the point, explaining the scheme
of education. All seemed to be inte--
rested and benefitted, which showed
itself in the collection and subscriptions
received for that fund. Should Mr
Irvine preach here again he would no
doubt have an overflowing house, as
all seemed to be highly pleased with
him, and said it was good.
