DEATIL-A feeling of sadness was thrown over the neighborhood in which she lived, by the sudden and unexpected death of Almena. daughter of Mr and Mrs Ralph Reddy, of Us - borne township, on Thursday morn- ing, the 17th inst. Deceased complain- ed of not feeling very well on the Sun- day previous to her death, but no ser- ious fears as to her recovery were felt till Wednesday evening. She had been a general favorite in her home, pi school and the neighborhood, and her untimely death, at the age of 13 years, proved to be a severe blow; but the comforting testimony was left that her title to, and assurance of eternal life was sure. / MoCarthy has introduced [Op laroposing the appoint- Paba,ssii,bor at Washington. , (*.Would have been raised, (aka blade a similar proposi- ertild have been a traitor of kind. nallet relierVe all 04120tit Orange pavers, ter another letter. alipPeee ray friends would like me to say bow 1Arei getting along myself.

At the regular meeting of the Publio School Board, on Monday evening, the following report, from Inspector Robb, WAS received: -- To THE BOARD OF PUBLIC c4cato0f. TRUSTEES. GENTLEMEN, -I beg leave to report that 1 visited your sehoole on Feb. 3rd 4th and 10th. I found the rooms warm and com- fortable, well swept and dusted. The air was pure in all the rooms, all the teedhers • appeared to attend carefully to the ventila- tion. Internally the rooms are very neat, the contrast of oolors being very pleasing to the eye. It would be an improvement if the "map etrips" were extended all around the rooms. This would, in a manner justify the ohange of color from green to blue. It would add to the attractiveness of the rooms if a few pictures Were hung on the walls. Many rural schools and two village sohoola in this division have tbe walls enlivened with pictures. The favor- ites are The Queen, Gladstone, Sir John A. Macdonald, Hon George Brown and the Fathers of Confederation. These piotures are often used for "object lessons' in his- tory. Externally the front and lattice fence give a neatness to the grounds ab- sent from most school premises. The Trustees have a right to feel a pride in the building and premises, which will be in- oreased when the "pipe fence" is extended all around the street boundary of the school grounds. I sincerely hope that the Board will not interfere with the present flag pole, as sug- gested in a town newspaper. In the principal's room, I found 49 pu- pils. The teaching order, and general tone of the room is everything that can be de- sired. I may say that Mr Lough shows more consideration for his assistants than for himself. Miss Copeland had been in her room a few days only when I visited the school, and of course, I can not pass any judgment on her manner, method, order or teaching ability. Mite O'Neill had 37 pupils in her room. The order, discipline and teaching is very satisfactory. Miss Lavin had 37 in her room. From the api,earance of her classes there is every likelihood of her being a decided acquisi- tion to the staff of your schools. In Miss Helyar s room there were 37 pupils. The order, discipline and teaching -is very good. There were 43 children in Miss Wilson's room. This lady does good work. I do not think that ate gets full pay for the work she does in your school. Miss Leslie had 53 pupils. The teaching is very good. Miss Taylor had 50. Here everything is quite satisfactory. The pupils in this HoW WE GOT HERE. I must not get ahead of my story. We left Exeter on a Thursday, and thanks to the kindness of my -.11d ohum,Will Jackson, everything was arranged at London, so that our trunks went safely through to Jacksonville, At Detroit we changed oars for Cincinnati, frorn which place there is no further change until we get to Jackson- ville. Your map will show you that we run through Ohio, Tennessee, Kentucky and Georgia, but the parts we saw were very poor looking indeed. riday evening we began to feel the change in the atmos- phere, and our heavy northern clothes be- gan to feel uncomfortable. Saturday morning was like a fine summer day, and we saw our first orange trees, and in almost every garden several peach trees in full bloona. The whole region through whioh we passed for a day before reaching Jack- sonville was nothing but pineries. The great tall trees tapped at the bottom look very odd. At nearly every station there is a turpentine and resin fa flu, at which the sap and gum are sold. Saturday after- noon we landed in Jacksonville, where we had to remain over Sunday. Sunday was so hot that it was very trying to us just out of the cell. I cannot write anything about Jacksonville, for I did not see it, but beyond MeKillopits magnificent hotels it does not, I believe, amount to much. Monday we came in NOTES. -Mr John Parish and family here, 153 miles, and in all nearly 1500 miles left for Manitoba, on Tuesday last. from home.

Mr McClure has bought one of the Burke farms, on the Lake Shore road; Goderich township; he gets it a t $3500. As the farm has good buildings on it, he secures a big bargain. ONE BY ONE THEY PASS AWAY. -This time we have to record the death of one of the oldest pioneers of the coun- try in that of Mrs McLeod,relict of the late Murdock McLeod, of thin town- ship. This lady had reached' the ripe` old age of 88 years, and until within a few.,wee,b of ,her death, has always been in the enjoyment -.5flife:ttyg-ood- health. She was a native of Rosshire, Scotland, and with her husband and part of her family came to this coun- try over fifty years ago, living for some years in Nova Scotia and Cape Breton. Somewhat over forty years ago the family came to this county, and settled on a farm on the 6th con. of McKillop, where Mrs McLeod died, having been living with her daughter. Mrs Alex Gordon. She survived her husband over twenty years, and leaves behind her three sons and three daught- ers, all comfortably situated. She was universally respected. Meal Points. Pzie, M. P.

Last weeks' sa les was by far the largest we have ever had, reaching the grand. total of 1600 rolls. This sale certainly speaks volumes for our assortment and prices, and we are sure that any reason- able person can find in our immense stock a suitable collection for a humble cottage or a squire's residence. As is usual there must necessarily be some papers left over from the prpcoding season, and instead of offering these at the latter part of the season, we have included them in our new stock and re -marked them at prices that are bound to sell them.

SIGHTS IN FLORIDA. The first walk I took brought me many surprises. First, the soil ie peculiar, very light in color and sandy; one wonders how anything grows in it. The roads are all sand, making either driving or walking difficult. I am told that at a depth of three or four feet, and in some places less, good clay is struck, and some day no doubt this will be utilized to make good roads. There are no stones, not even small ones. I met a gentleman who carried in his pocket one about the size of a ten cent piece, and he considered it quite a curiosity. The trees will very naturally attract attention, and of these there are a large number we in the north never see. From the windows of the room in which I am writing I can see the magnolia, umbrella tree, lemon, orange, ley is about to move to our flourishing Spanish bayonet, oak, banana, grape fruit burg in the near future.

Dickinson, of Wingham, received $551 for the East Riding; Mr Whitely, Clinton, received $737 for the West Riding, and Mr T. Hays received $582 for the South Riding. Of course out of these sums the incidentals, such as deputy -returning officers, printi ng, etc., etc., had to be paid. A TUSSLE. -The other night a well known politician of the town of Sim- coe, knaltOn as "Cra,igie" or "Coonskin" Boyd g6t, into an ugly altercation with a Goderielt man, on the train coming up front Guelph, and called thd Lake Huron Mien by an epithet that was far from gentlemanly. The Goderich man "climbed on" Boyd, as the saying is, and made him wish he had remained silent. Boyd is said to be one of the "still hunters" and took an active part In . the West Huron contest. The leading women of Otsego, Michigan, have been engaged in a novel contestto raise monest for the benefit of the Ladies' Library Aedoois,tion.

The shrubs and flowers -es- pecially roses -are very beautiful. If the earth was only carpeted with our grass, this would be a Paradise. The roses are now in full bloom, and are larger and more fragrant than with us. An old Brantford boy, who has been here twelve years, sent me a magnificent bunoh,such as would have made Horace Foster and Will Coats fairly jump with excitement. The oleanders are just blooming, and grow to be as large as our horse chestnuts. The magnolia is a regular shade tree, and has a pretty flower as large and not unlike .the water lily. The trees and shrubs are a constant source of wonder. THE WEATHER. Just think of it, the Best Qualities of Papers at 15c now 10c„ 25c Gilts for 15c., 50c Gilts for 25c 75c Gilts for 25c. Bear in mind these are not this spring's goods, but just the same quality is there and the patterns good, although not what this season's latest fad. But for new papers we have some unquestionably pretty patterns in Bronzes and. Gilts, also Glimmers and Micas, and our prices are lower than ever. :Why ? Because we buy in large quantities, which rules the price in any merchandise. Another great point with us is that we trim all our paper free of charge, which. saves you half the time in putting it on. We have through these columns often told you about the excellency of our • Window Shades And we think it unnecessary for any further com- ment than to say to people who buy blinds from us, you will get the best and cheapest of their kinds.

To the editor of the New Era DEAR SIR. -In regard to the report of the milk analysis published in your last issue, I must say that it seems strange to me that, if the analysis be correct, one like myself, who came here a stranger, with no influence to recommend me other than my wares, should have succeeded in building up the trade I have, with the best class in town as my customers. All I can say is that the public evidently appre- ciate my service, and no pains will be spared to further merit their confld- ence-analysis or no analysis. Yours, A. J. TYNDALL. • Since our arrival the thermometer has been as high as 85, and as low as 42. The changes come very sudden, but not otten. On Christmas day the guests at the hotel had an exoursion on the lake, and January was a very warm month. To us northerners the heat is very trying, but when the thermometer is down to 60 the people here sit over great fires which we cannot stand at all. Last Saturday we went on an excursion around the lake, in a small steamer, and it was very warm. - Yesterday (17th) the thermometer at 4 p.m. stood at 84, and to -day, as I finish this rambling letter, it is down to 50.
