FOR WARDEN. -Since the political
complexion of the County Council will
be about the same as last year and a
Reformer is likely to be chosen, we do
not know that a better choice could be
made than Reeve M4Murchie, of Clin-

THE CANADIAN MAGAZINE FOR JAN-
vAU' .-It would be difficult to find
amongst the monthly periodicals a
' magazine at all rivalling in interest to
Canadians that successful . national
review, "The Canadian Magazine." It
is, while broadly cosmopolitan in sub-
ject matter, thoroughly national in aim
and in attention to every part of the
Dominion. The provincialism that
naturally tends to become associated
with a magazine published in any par-
ticular province is here conspicuously
.absent. Every province, from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, is represented
amongst the contributions, and
throughout a high literary merit marks
the articles, many of which are highly
entertaining and all interesting. The
Tanuary number is, like its predecessors,
11 of Variety. .

that Mayor elect Holmes will he unable

inquiry and have been inforipe, thitji;
Mr. Hoboes' legal advisers say hinge,

and thus save the town extra and:
unnecessary expense.
THE BAPTIST CHURCH. -The Baptists
held their annual business meeting in
the church last" Wednesday, when the
following officers were elected:. -Seers
tary,HenryJoshling(relected); Treasur-
er W m.Robb;Deacon,J.B. Hoover ; and
ale() transacted other business in •con
nection with the past year, effecting
some changes in reference to raising
funds foe the coming year. Theast
year has been the most successful, in .
the history of the Baptist church here,
The recent additions have made the
membership the highest that has ever
been attained. The Sunday school un-
der the faithful leadership of D. K. Prior is
the largest and most efficient of that
of any period in the history of this
church. The Young People's Society
was organized over a year ago and Is
a source of strenght to' the church.
With this increasedstrengthandstaffof
efficient officers the Baptists have
reason to hope for greater things in
the near future and are thankful to
God for the, past and take courage for
the future.

LAID AT REST. -The Reaper of Death
has once more brought sorrow and
grief to the Borrie Mr. Roht. Souch by
taking unto. Himself the spirit of his
• beloved wife at the age of•63. years and
adapt, TheinUmortal spirit was taken
at 11 o'clocon New Year's nighty.
Mrs. Smell was a native of Armagh'
Co., Ireland, and came to this countryp
in theyear 1813,, with her parents and
settlein barlington townsnip, Dur -
haat Co. Six years linter she was
united in marriage to her now bereft
partner•, and in 1860 they moved to this
township. Sher was a sufferer from
diabetes and went very quickly at the
lase. The deceased was a most ,estim-
ab a woman, beloved by all who knew
her. She leaves a; husband and five
children -two daughters away from
home, and two daughters and 'a son
who remain at home to cheer the father
in his declining years. Three daughters
'have passed on before. She was an
earnest, active Methodist for many
year's, living her faith daily, and always
a friend to the needy. She will be
missed by many, especially in the home
circle; but the knowledge we have of
the truth of Christ Which she possess-
ed, will make us feel to rejoice rather
than weep, for the parting is only brief.
A large concourse of friends gat eyed
to pay the last earthly tribute of love,
on Wednesday afternoon, to one who
had endeared herself to all. With,a
choice selection of music and the assis-
tance of Rev. J. W. Pring, of Bluevale,
we consigned the mortal remains to the
dust in Jewett's cemetery. May the
fancily feel that. their loss is her gain,
and that she is not dead but gone on be-
fore.

Port Albert,
P. Navin, contractor, accompained by
Madam Navin, paid a flying visit to
the Port on Saturday last. -
Master Stephen and Miss Tout, of
Pine River, were in the village for
several days during the past week
Mr. Hennings, of the County Town,
and who formerly run the flour mill in
this place, was up at the Port on busi-
ness for a few days last week.
H. Otway's auction sales closed for
the season on Saturday evening last.
Richard John Henry DeLong, who
has been conducting those successful
auction sales, will now have an oppor-
tunity of making a trip to Florida for
the restoration of the loss of so many
bags of mind on so many occasions.
The congregation of the Church of
England has placed a beautiful bell on
their church. It is a perfect ringer,
Mr. H. Cromarty, of the City of Lon-
don, was out on the 2nd con. of Ash-
field last week. The boys say he was
buying land, but those' who know
what is trump say it was personal pro-
perty he was more inclined to invest
in,
Our municipal elections have once
more passed away and those of a
higher order, such as Reeve and De-
puty -Reeves had a pretty hard fight
for their honorable positions. I was
very much surprised that Agnew poll-
ed so large a vote for the Reeveship
against Joseph Griffen. However,
Farrish and Kiglay being returned by
acclamation the old Reeve and Deputy
are returned by the people ; old coun-
cil again. In speaking of canadidates
for municipal honors and people who
have sat in the council, I beg here to
say that there is not a better quali-
fied candidate or one better posted
in municipal matters than John
Whitley, yet he was defeated by 130.
Jim Summerville, of Lucknow, calls
the north end of Ashfield the "Butt end
of Ashfleld:" They are nearly all Gilts.
The "butt end" was too much for
Whitley to pull against.

Mrs. Chas. Robb, of this village, died
on Saturday, Dec. 30. Her death was
not unexpected as she had been ailing
for some time. Blessed are the peace-
makers and indeed such was Mrs.
Robb. She loved to be a peacemaker
and was a kind and benevolent Christ-
ian lady. Her daughter, Miss Rebecca,
arrived home from London hospital,
where she intends graduating in the
spring. She arrived just in time to bid
her mother a final good bye. Mr.
Robb and family have the entire sym-
pathy of the community in their
bereavement.
We regret to say that Mr. Henry
Eyre, of this place, has been under the
weather for some time. His many
friends would be pleased to hear of his
speedy recovery. Mr. Eyre is an active
winker in the Methodist church and an
honorary member of the Epworth
League. When bigots and anti-Protes-
tants
ntiProtes-
tants hurled their darts at the League
here, Mr. Eyre came forward and
stood'by the League like a man.
Miss May Merrill is gritting to be a
very popular president in E. L. circles.
She is pursuing the proper course in
treating alI who come to the League in.
a kindly manner. Our E. L. during

Sophron Fitzgerald, late of Dakota.
