The funeral of the late Rev W. Tor- rance, at Milverton, on Friday after- noon. was a most imposing ceremony. The Foresters, of which order Mr Tor- rance was a member, turned out in full force, a large contingent of Gorrie Lodge, Howick, to which he belonged, accompanying the body to Milverton. The interment took place in the Pres- byterian cemetery, Rev Mr Howe con- ducting the last sad rites. Mr Tor- rance was a favorite wherever he was known, and his sudden taking off is deeply regretted.

BROKE AwAY.—Mr Aaron Bennett left his horse tied at Mr Coultes', one evening recently, while in the house transacting some business, and as it was a colt and high stepper, unhitched it from the liebefore doing so. It be- came reeitlesa and broke the halter - shank, and managed to get to the road and started home at a lively gait, but some boys caught it at the school house, and kept it there until Mr Ben- net came after it and took it back for the rig.

It would be a stroke of policy on the part of the government to offer the position to Mr Cameron, and should he accept, it will be a serious loss to the Liberals, for we believe that Mr Cameron can carry West Huron at next election, in spite of any opposition. On the other hand we have heard it said that JudgeDoyle will be the recipient of the office. The Premier intimates that the Sen- ate vacancies will be filled as quickly as possible. If the entire Senate was a vacancy, the country could rejoice over a, saving of at least $100,000 yearly. Concerning the Sons ot England ser- mon in Mitchell recently, the Record- er says :—"The sermon preached by Rev Dr. Williams was declared by all who heard it to be the finest discourse of the kind they ever listened to. On returning to the lodge room the service throughout was freely commented on, District Deputy Jackson of Clinton,de- claring that he had not listened to such an eloquent combination cf gospel in- junction and national sentiment in all his previous experience in attending such services. A vote of thanks to Dr. Williams was moved by the Presidents of the Exeter and Clinton lodges, and endorsed. by a standing vote." London Conference. The first draft of stations for the London Conference,Methodist church, makes the following changes in this neighborhood, but of course all these may be amended before the final draft is issued :—J.

NoTEs.—Miss Kate Jewell, who has been laid up with a sore hand, is able to be out again. Mr Jesse Gledhill is making great improvements around his residence; he likes having oddities, the latest is his new fence. Prepara- tions are being made to fix the bridge at Benniffier, which was damaged by the ice. Mr Fred Maedel is doing rushing business at the photographing, nearly all the farmers are having their houses and farms taken. Mr Thomas Gledhill is kept very busy looking after his lumber and settling up, as he in- tends going down to his bush farm in Haliburton on Tuesday of next week. Mr Wm.IStraughan has his cedar near- ly all in order for the bridge at Forster's. Miss Nellie Straughan, who has been ill with inflammation ot the lungs, is nearly well again. We are sorry to hear that Geo. Newell is sick; we hope soon to see,him around again, as well as ever. Rev Mr Thibadeau, who has been pastor here for the past three years, will soon be leaving; no doubt some of the fair sex will feel badly when "the tall young gent" leaves this neighborhood. Mrs Wm. Phillips, of Dungannon, who for the past two weeks has been Visiting at her father's, Mr Rich. Jewell, has returned home. Mrs J. J.

This I2th of July Seaforth is to be the scene of an Orange celebration that will eclipse any ever held in the west- ern part of the Province. To the dis- trict lodge it is reported that between 8,000 and 10,000 Orangemen will be in dSeaforth. They will come from Pahal- erstbh, Kincardine, Walkerton, Pais- ley, Stratford, and all the pi incipikl towns in the counties of Bruce, Perth and Huron. Leading Orangemen from various parts of Canada have been in- vited to take part. This 12th of July will be the centennial of the establish- ment of the order in Ireland, and Sea - forth will be made the rallying point for the western part of the Province, for the observance of the signal event in the history of the order. Messrs Robert Livingstone and M. Prendergast,. both old. Huron boys, have passed with honors their second year examination at the Chicago Den- tal College. Mr Wm.

Some of the papers are booming Dr. liontague for the Premiership. Well, he has unquestioned ability of a cer- tain sort, and if the Conservatives are satisfied to accept him, we don't see that: the Liberals need worry over it, but it's a pretty big change from Sir John Macdonald to Dr. Montague. Dr. Montague may have exaggerated in his estimate of the quantity of wheat still in the country, but at the same time we think the Globe is astray in its assumption that there is virtually no wheat itt therbands of farmers. In this it is believed that there is a con- siderable quantity. The revision of the Dominion Voters' List, upon which it is intended to hold the next election, has already cost the country $240,000, in addition to what bas been spent by each political party; and what will be the use of it, when completed. If an election is held next year, it is simply not up-to-date, and is almost worthless. The Mail -Empire publishes a story from its Ottawa correspondent to the effect that a plot exists among the Liberals to remove Mr Laurier, and place some one else in the leadership. There is not an atom of truth in the • story, but the Mail nevertheless builds up a man of straw on it, and then pro- ceeds to knock it down. The Liberals • are perfectly happy in their leadership, ^ and all the stories about dissension are 'pure fiction. St. Helens. (Intended for last week.) NOTES.—Mrs M. McDonald is visiting friends in St. Thomas this week. Mr Chas. Adams returned to Toronto last week, after spending a few days at home. Miss Martha Murray spent Sabbath last under the parental roof.

Smyth, of Clinton, was elected Secretary. The changes asked for in the boundaries of Londesboro circuit were made. Jack- son appointment was transferred from Blyth to Walton. Lord Aberder's attitude on the Manito- be. school question has, generally speaking, • been one of an inquiry, bet it has leaked out that he made one suggestion at the end of his iv:pixies from both sides, when Messrs Greenway, Sifton and Langevin Ware in Ottawa recently.

A despatch from New Westmiustsr, B.C., dated May 15th says:—"Dr.Hugh M. Cooper, aged 88, a well knOwn phy- sician, was tound dead in his office this morning. He attended a reception giv- en by the local Knights of Pythias last night to their Vancouver brethren,and delivered the speech of welcome. He left the gathering about midnight, and went to his office, where he dropped dead, presumably while closing up." Heart disease was the cause of death. The foregoing despatch refers to a former incumbent of St. John's Church Brussels, the Rev. Hugh M. Cooper, who was minister iere for several years leavin here abo 18 years ago.

Laurier was thrown out of a buggy, by a runaway team, on Monday, but was not hurt. Two deaths took place from sunstroke in Hamilton, the victims being Mr. Thos. Downes and Mr. Cornelious Green. A. letter received in Windsor from the Patterson party now in California, says that the health of Hon. J. C. Patterson is much improved. Yesterday the monument to the late Sir John Macdonald was unveiled in Montreal. That day was the fourth anniversary of the statesmen's death. Time flies. Ephraim Clarke, aged 21, the son of a farmer living about six miles from Mill- brooke, Ont, was drowned in a mill -pond on Sunday while bathing. A prosperous farmer named John War - neck who lived abont a mile fromHepworth committed suicide by shooting himself while in a state of despondency. Ten carloads of cattle, containing 182 head, valued at $12,000, were the freight that lett one railway station in the County of Brant Monday, bound for Glasgow. Annie, the only daughter of Mr. H. Wib- berly of the Western Hotel, Thamesville, was drowned in the Thames River about four miles east of the village. Lorriane D. Elias, of Minneapolis, Minn. who was recently discharged from an in- sane asylum as harmless, on Saturday murdered his mother and his sister, and escaped. The Public Acconnta,Committee has de- cided to summon Rev. Manly Benson to be examined touching the payment of $1,100 to him for lecturing in England for the im- migration department. A contemporary says that Queen Victoria takes whiskey, without water, for indigedt- ion, yet her Majesty's general health is re- ported poor. Water without whiskey is sometimes recommended as a good thing. On Saturday the qualified electors of Toronto voted down by very large majorit- ies three by-laws for raising money to im- prove the water supply and increase the pressure as a means of protection against fire. Nazrulla Khan, the second son of the Ameer of Afghanistan, is being honoured and feted in London, but he is not regarded as a social success. He is as stolid aa wooden image and the members of his suite have an unpleasant taste for pocketing the silverware of their hosts. Rev. J. Ames2F. Parsons, of Cathcart, in the Woodstock district of the Hamilton Conference, has been expelled by an almost unanimous vote of the Hamilton Conferen- ce now in session. The formal charge against him was that of marrying without permission of the Conference. A man named A. Lockhart has been sent for trial at Goderich for palming himself off as a specialist in the diseas- es of women, and taking improper lib- erties with Mrs. Jacob Elsey, of Col- borne. Such individuals should be shown the door as soon as they enter the threshold. A youngman of Hills Green issued the usual invitations tc friends to at- tend his wedding, which was to have been held on Logan's bridge, on May 24th, but when the hour for the cere- mony arrived, his better half—to be— failed to appear. The young man has much sympathy in his bitter disap- pointment. It is our painful duty to chronicle the death of a kind and estimable pioneer of the Huron tract, Mrs Patrick At- kinson, Seaforth. The death of her husband, which happened about five - months ago,was a sore blow to her and no doubt helped to bring on a relapse of her former sickness, which termi- nated so sadly in her death on May 23rd. She leaves a family of two sons and three daughters to mourn the loss of a kind and affectionate mother. The many Exeter friends of Mr. John C.Stewart will learn with profound re- gret of his death, which occurred in Brockville on Tue4day night last. It will be remembered that Mr: Stewart conduced a dental prastice here some years ago and while here was married to Mies Louise Oke, eldest daughter of the late James Oke. Deceased has been a sufferer! from Bright's disease of the kidneys for some time, which resulted in his death. Goderich.

Murdy, aged seventeen, residing at Horning's Mills, accidentally shot and kill- ed Mabel Hunter, aged fifteen, daughter of Walter Hunter, farmer. It has been said that misfortunes never come singly, and this has been proven to be but too true by a former resident of Hills Green, Mrs Anderson, of Arizona, daughter of Jno. Cochrane. Some time ago her husband, Geo. An- derson, was taken ill with typhoid fev- er, and succumbed after a short illness. While his wife was preparing to return to Canada, her six-year old son was taken sick, and he, too, passed away. Mrs Anderson arrived in Hills Green two weeks ago, accompanied by her two children.

Dunsmore of the St. Thomas Times. Rev. Dr. Morrison, of Sydney, Australia, an intimate friend of the groom, performed the ceremony. Rev. Dr. Morrison, who is making a trip around the world, is an old St. Mary's boy, but went to Australia 25 years ago. THE HOT SPELL.—The hotwave ex- perienced during the last few days,was unprecedented for this season, the temperature being more than 20 degrees higher than that of lart year for the Berne period. The remarkable thing about It is that there has been an al- most entire absence of cloud by day and dew by night, the sun beaming down each day from a cloudless sky with Sahara -desert rays 'and the moon showing pale and lusterless each night. Just a week ago the hot weather orig- inated in the South-western States, New Mexico, Arkansas and the Indian Territory. From thence it spread north and east, and, with the baromet- er stationary, westerly and south-west- erly winds drove the furnace blast north upon Canada. It is much cooler now, however. Mr A. Bauslaugh,whe has carried on a photograph business in Seaforth for a number of years, has disposed of his business to Mr W. F. ITate, of North Bay. Ten years ago J. D. Livingston, of Forest engraved his initials on a Canadian 25 et. piece and eent it adrift in the usual way. Last Friday, while Chas.

It is under- stood that the bank officials will make spec- ial arrangements with the manufacturers of four or five of the best makes of wheel and give clerks their choice. The object of the new departure seems to be to provide the employees with the means of securing healthful exercise. • The annual meeting of the Baptist Convention of Ontario and Quebec was last week in session at Toronto. The report of the Horne Mission showed a deficit of more than $5,000. In this connection it was shown that the sal- aries of the home missionaries of the denomnaction was much less; than those of their confreres of the Methodist and Prespyterian. The report presented by the Board of Publication showed a profit, for the first time in its history, on the work of the bookroom. On Tuesday afternoon Tim Pepper, of Tuckersmith, was summoned to ap- pear before Justices of the Peace Ur- quhart and Smillie; at Hensel], charged by his wife with having cruelly beaten her, and with using such threatening language toward herself and family, that she feared he would do her griev- ous bodily injury. The magistrates bound defendant over to keep the peace for a period of one year m the sum of $1,000. His own security was accepted. A painful accident happened the two- year-old son of J. A.
