ter's purpose holding their annual

son-in-law, Dr Wilson. Mr Cameron
was interviewed at the station here as
he was passing through; he looks the
picture of good health, and was in ex-
cellent spirits. He states that Mr A.
H. Manning was gaining in strength
very rapidly; in fact improving every
day, and -would soon return .in fairly
good health.
NEEDED IMPROVEMENTS.—The town
ovnas a park, but anyone residing in the
eastern portion of the town desiring to
get into the same' has to crime all
the way around tothe entrance neart
Fair's mill. Why riot -make a suitable
entrance also, over near William St,so
• that the people in that locality could
enjoy the park without the labor of a
quarter of a -mile walk. Then some-
thing should also be done towards level-
ling the ground in the park, for it is so
uneven that sporting clubs will not
come to play on it. A. very- moderate
outlay in improvements will be amply
repaid in a few years. Let the work
•., be done at once.

DEATH OF ALEXANDER MACKENZIE.
—Elsewhere will be found reference to
the death of Mr Alexander Mackenzie,
ex -Premier of the Dominion ot Canada.
Be was not personally unknown to the
people of Huron, having been present
at the monster Reform demonstration
held in this town, on the 5th of July,
1878. He also visited the county at a
later date, in company with Mr Blake,
on the occasion of a Reform conven-
tion being held in Brueefield, at which
the Hon. Sir Richard Cartwright re-
ceived his first nomination as represen-
tative for the South Riding of Huron.
The convention was held in the late
Rev. John Ross' church, there being nb
other Wading large enough to accom-
modate the crowd. The opening of the
meeting was marked by an event that
is well worth recording in history.
Rev. John Ross, in laudatory terms,
stated that, "it gave him the most sin-
cere pleasure to announce that the
Premier of this Dominion, Hon. Alex-
ander Mackenzie, was a God-fearing
Man, and he would call upon him to
open this meetingwith a word of pray-
er." Mr Mackenzie, not all taken haeli,
did as requested, and we venture to say
that many of thh delegates went home
that day with even a more exalted
opinion of the Premier than they had
before entertained. Flags were flying
at half-mast here this week, in respect
to the memory of deceased.
NoTEs.—Mr J. H. Worsell, while at
Stratford last Friday, disposed of $30
worth of his patent bed pans in a short
time; it is an article that almost sells
itself. Mr Ed Snell, employed at S. S.
Cooper's planing mill, had the misfor-
tune to get one of his fingers cut on a
circular saw one day last week. Mr

spent Easter ' with his brother and
other friends here. Mr. and Mrs
Depew, of Wardsville. (mother of Mrs
W. Doherty and Mrs F. Jackson) are
here on a visit. The Gun Club went
to eaforth on Good Friday, and suc-
ceed in beating both Brussels and
•23 aforth Clubs. Mr Thos. Graham,
f Inglewood, spent Sunday in town,

its closing meeting for the season.
This series of meetings has been the
most interesting in the history of the

was not at all times as satisfactory as
the act na I worth of the meetings called
foil, yet there is not the slightest room
for doubt lint t hat the good accom-

the furtherance of the social interest
in the eomnitinity, and the elevating
and intellectual improvement that
through this society's influence has
been brought about, will redound to
its everlasting good. The program on
