The deceased was a sister to the late William Hudie.

Tie AT Hoes FAREWELL.—There Wee a very largo gathering at St. Paul's Rectory last Friday even- ing. The affair was gotten up by, the Rev. Rural Dean and Mra. Craig, kindly assisted by the Women's Missionary Auxiliary of the church. The object was to say good by before Mr. Craig would take charge of Potrolia parish. Rev. Mr. Young, rector of St. George's church, Goderich, was present, and we were pleased to see a liberal (sprinkling of iheother local religious denominations present. Coffee, cake, etc., was served, and all seemed to enjoy themeel'ves. General regret was expressed at losing so talented a divine as Mr. Craig. He will take charge of tho now field of labor next Sunday. We and St. Paul's and all other congregations in town, wish Mr. and .Mre. Craig and family every success and prosperity and health in their new home. TBE STALWART M. P., of "brawn" and brain, who represents South Huron, is giving counter evidence to the theory of total depravity even if he cannot yet be considered one of the elect. In proof of which read the following:—"Mr. John McMillan, M. P., of South Huron, has been visiting the Experimental Farm at Agassiz, B. C., every Po4r• tion of which he went over. Ile regretted the absence of Supt. Sharpe, but found in Mr. Sutherland the acting manager, an intelligent well informed person, very obliging and extremely courteous. He re- garded the work already'+accom.plish• ed by Mr. Sharpe as Wonderful, and in his place in Parliament, says the World, when the opportunity pre- sents itself,will give that gentleman his amiable and accomplished wife full credit for the manner in which they have managed matters so far, and the extremely creditable condi- tion in which he found everything about the institution. He ie con• fident that to the farmers, fruit growers and others of this Province the farm will be as groat a blessing as is the Central agricultural farm at Guelph." A PLEA Fort ONIONS.—It seems a shame that a vegetable so healthful as onions should be so generally disliked. Any physician will tell you that a dish of onions will bo a wholesome addition to the vegetable diet, will be beneffcial to the nerves and will often help to ward off dis- eases. When a liking for them is not natural it should certainly bo acquired; the most disagreeable feature about them, to those who are not fond of them, is the odor; and one should be very careful in preparing the dish to have this no- ticed as little as possible. By hold- ing the hands and knife under water while cleaning them you will avoid the unpleasantness in eyes and noetrile. After peeling them see that the knife is thoroughly scoured and washed, or you may use the same knife in preparing some other dish, and spoil some choice morsel with the unpleasant flavor. Before they are cooked they may be soaked for a little while in salt water, to help remove the strong odor, and while they are cooking plhce in the pot a piece of bread the size of an egg, or larger, tied in a linen bag. This may also be used for cabbage,or any other veg- itable whose penetrating odors cause us to hesitate when we think of them as a pleasant addition to the hill of,,fare. affair was not generally recognized by our people and the Town Coun• cil refused to give any financial recognition to the project. Of course the Mail's object was to make money, not to specially help Clin- ton. A great injustice has been done this thriving and progressive town on that account. For Clin- ton is not represented as it is. Were it not a purely money specula- tion on the . part of the Mail, we might ask why does not Fair's mill, one of the beet in Canada, appear? Or Richard Irwin's grain elevator Or Doan'a tannery, or Forester's flax mill '1 Or Leslie's or Rumball's carriage works? Or Geo. D. Mo Taggart's - residence I Or that of T. Jackson, sr., Mrs. Rance, R. Irwin, James Fair, or a host of others we might name'1 It shows a spirit of enterprise on tho'part of those who contributed to the work, but we repeat that the town has been done a great injustice in not being more largely represented. Some of the illustrations are good, but the majority of them below the average. Mayor Doherty's is the best of the lot. The enterprise of the Mail will not be appreciated by the people of Clinton. THE LATE MRS. CALBICK,—Last Tuesday Mrs, John Calbick depart- ed this life, aged 70 years and five months. The deceased had been ill for some months and the death call was not unexpected . She was borr in Tyrone, Ireland, and came to Canada about the year 1840. The then Miss Mallough was some time after married to Mr. Calbick and took up their home on the farm on the Maitland concession, Goderich township. Mr. Calbick and three sons survive—George, who is on the police force at Moodyville,B.C.; Daniel B., now of the Goderich organ factory ; and Thomas, lately of British Columbia, but who has remained at home for some months on account of his mother's failing health. Mrs. Reith, lately of this town, but now deceased, was a daughter. Several years ago Mr. and Mrs. Calbick retired from the farm at Holmesville and took up their residence in Clinton. Mre. Calbick was long a model Christian woman and bore up under pain and suffering with that spirit. The funeral last Friday was largely attended.
