Diehl came all the way from Ailsia Craig at great inconven- ience and expense to officiate at the funeral of the late Mrs. Eleanor Hodg- son. Mrs. Eleanor Hodgson, relict of the late Thomas Hodgson of Hullett, died at the residence of her nephew—G. M. Kilty—here on Friday, the 21st inst., shortly after the clock had struck the hour of midnight, atlhe ripe old age of 91 years. The deceased was a native of County Antrim, Ireland, and carne to this country over 60 years ago. She lived with her parents for 5 years in Lower Canada, near English River, and then they all moved up to the Huron Tract and settled on the farm now owned by Mr. Tiplady, previously owned by Mr.-Samnel Archer. After her marriage she lived at the mill at Egmondville for some time and after- wards she and her husband settled on the farm on the 3rd con. of Hullett, where she lived np to within a few weeks of her death. She had ne chil- dren. During - her husband's life and for many years after her house was open to all in need of food or shelter and the Missionaries of those bygone days always received a cordial welcome. She was quiet and unassuming, but was open-hearted always to all in geed. During her long life and particularly during the past 30 years she cast self aside as it were and lived for others. Her greatest happiness was found in doing good and when a few days ago she breathed her last as noble, gener- ous and kind a heart, as ever pulsated in purely human breast was stilled. She died full of faith in Christ as her Savior and bore her sufferings with' true Christian fortitude. The only surviving members of the family now Are Mr. John Kilty, of Hullett, and Mrs. Andrew Cook, of Waverly, Nebraska. The funeral took place on Saturday, the 22nd inst., and over 70 vehicles followed her remains to their last resting place. As was truly said by the minister during the burial cere- mony, "She was loved most by those who knew her hest," thus testifying to her sterling worth. She was respected while living and honored when dead. May her life be a lesson to us all in this age of selfishness. West Wawn*ol b. xi.

From the Unclear Rost. There are few men better known In Victoria county than Mr. TtidutrdFitz gerald, who wes one of the first settlers of the township of Omelets. fie Was elected to the honorable position of reeve of that township for twelve suc- cessive years, and tilled the position with so Much acceptance to the people that he was pressed to continue in of- fice for a longer time, but was com- pelled to decline the hbnor. It there- fore goes without saying that Mr. Fitz- gerald is nut only known to all the residents of the township, but that his word is considered. by those who know hineto be as good as his bond, and that upon anything he may say the most explicit confidence may be placed. When young, :a stronger or more hearty man could not be found. but possessed of an iron constitution, he did what too many are prone to do, neg- lected his health and exposed himself to all sorts of weather, often in the pur- suit of his calling as a farmer being wet to the skin for hours at a time. A little over 17 years ago ho found that he had contracted rheumatism of a muscular form and each succeeding day found him in a worse condition. He applied to the local doctors in his neighborhood but received no relief, and was then in- duced by there to apply for admission to the general hospital at Toronto for treatment end was in that institution for several months, until he became dishjeartened at the want of success at- tending his treatment and , returned home, as was thought, to die. By this time the muscles of iris body had become so contracted that be could not straighten his limbs, and was forced to spend the greater part of his time in bed, and when able to get around at all it was only with the aid of a stout pair of crntches. When he attempted to raise to his feet his legs would crack at the knees like sticks of wood, caused as the doctors told him, by the fluid in thejoints being eompletely dried up. He was constipated to a fearful degree. When he retired at night there was not sufficient blood in his veins to keep him from feeling intensely cold, and in order to keep him warm his daughter knitted him woolen leggings and lined then, with soft wool. Several times his fainily, a portion of whom reside in Michigan, were summoned home to Gee their father for the last time, as he (was thought to be on .`.is e.eaha-bed. ally, Ii ter sufferinS as much bodily pain AA Wdiiltl liltve killed an ordinary man, and at a time When he had not set his foot on the ground for a year, he was indnced by his son to give 13r. Williams' Pink Pills a trial, ag be had heard of the many remarkable Cili'%5 made by that remedy. It was after much persuasion that he was induced to give them a trial; as he had then spent a small fortune in medicines and different modes of treatment under which he had steadily grown worse, and he had despaired of finding any- thing that would help him. At last he began the use of the Pink Pills and had not taken them long before he began to notice a decided improvement in his condition. Continuing their use he found he could get around much better than he had been able to do at any time for many years. and after a still further use of Pink Pills he was entirely re- lieved from all rheumatic pains, and is -now a wonder to himself and all who knew hire. Mr. Fitzgerald is now 70 years of age, is able to walk to Kirk field every day, and is enjoying better health than he has had since he was first affected. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills area perfect blood builder and nerve restorer, cur- ing such diseases as rheumatism, neula'gia, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St. Vitus' dance, nervous head- ache, nervous prostration and the tired feeling therefrom, the after effects of lit grippe, diseases depending upon humors in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. Pink Pills give a healthy glow to pale and sallow com- plexions, and are a specific for troubles pecular to the female systern, and in the case of men they effect ti radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork or excesses of any nature. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills may be had of all druggists, ordirert ny mail from Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Brockville, Ontario, or Schenectady, N. Y., at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50. The price at which these pills are sold makes a course of treatment comparatively inexpensiveas compared with other remedies or medical treat- ment. Murder at Lucknow. ALEX. FRASER ARRESTED ON TRX CHARGE OF HAVING CAUSED THE DEATH OF HIS SISTER. On Tuesday, Dec. 18th, Mrs. Robt. Elder, who lived in the south-west part of the town of Lucknow, died under suspicious circumstances. She was an elderly widow woman, and lived with her brother, Alex. Fraser; and neither were very good characters. The house has been the resort of a number of fellows who do not carry a very good reputation and for some months past the house has been the scene of some noisy quarrels at night, much to the annoyance of the neighbors. Fraser is said to have been in the habit of illtreating his sister in his drunken sprees by beating her. Coroner .Dr. Gordon• was notified of the death, and on visiting the place decided to hold an inquest. On Tuesday night a.ury was sum- moned and sworn in, and after viewing the remains adjourned till Thursday. On Wednesday Drs. Tennant and Garnier made a post mortem examina- tion of the body and found the right arm broken and terribly bruised from the wrist to the shoulder; also some marks on the head. The inquest was continued Thursday afternoon, when a large number of witnesses were examined. The taking of evidence was finished at 10 o'clock, and the jury rendered a verdict that Mrs. Elder's death was caused by Alex. Fraser. Fraser' was brought before Magistrates Lyons and Lawrence :in the afternoon, and committed for trial at Walkerton. $1 in advance pays for THE Mews- RECORD—great value. 3 THE NEWS -RECORD ONLY _ or years, there has been cutting and slashing in the 'news - MEM business. This hour, after long consideration, we have 'decided to, run our business a little different as to subscriptions. THE NEWS -RECORD is well worth $1.50 a year in advance. it readily commands our past price, $1.25 a year. The price hereafter will be si STRICTLY IN ADVANCE. This is "cutting to the bone," and shrewd readers will take advantage of our offer and become subscribers at once. All overdue subscriptions must be paid at the rate of $1.50 a year after the 1st of February, 1895 Up to that date we will accept 81.25 a., year for back subscriptions and all unpaid ac, counts at that date will be placed in Court for collection at 81,50 a year. Agents in every locality will be allowed the usual commission on NEW subscribers, but 011 OLD subscribers'., only, the actual cost for correspondence and in remitting',money. Few papers in the Province give as much space to local•mat ters or spend as much money on a purely home p`roduic- tion as does TIIE NEWS -RECORD. At $1 a year pee* might just as well ask us to live without eating as ten* for credit. The price is positively $1 IN ADVANCE. ` • '; The business of the Dominion is coming to "cash and one price," and THE NEWS -RECORD expects to soon adopt. the cash in advance principle. To those who cannot pay the small sum of $1 a year in advance for a home produc- tion like THE NEws-REcoltD, and honestly acknowledge the corn, should have the paper a whole year free, . During the year 1805 THE NEWS -RECORD will be better than ever Every department and every line will be of inter- est. The "Cut to the Hone" price of $1 strictly in adv- ance will not make any other change. THE NEWS -RE- CORD will continue to be as good as e'v'er. Delinquents are now on an equal footing. There will in future be one law for all, and the CASH-IN-ADVAN E payers will have the best of it. A. M. TODD, Publisher. MARKET REPORTS. (doff aeled story Tuesday afternoon. CLINTON.
