A PLEASANT EVENT. -The home of
Mr A. Monteith was the scene of a very
pleasant gathering,on Wednesday of
last week, when his eldest daughter,
Miss Annie, was united in marriage to
Mr John A. Dallas, a prosperous young
farmer of the 2nd con. of Tuckeremith,
in the presence of the relatives of the
contracting parties and a few other in-
timate friends. At the appointed time
-the wedding march was played by Miss
Lizzie, when the wedding couple ap-
peared, the bride being beautifully at-
tired in pearl colored cashmere, trim-
med with white silk and cream lace,
and carrying in her hand a beautiful
bouquet of flowers; she also wore the
accustomed orange blost;orus, in ber
lair, while the same blossoms adorned
the bodice of her dress. The bride was
assisted by her sister, Miss Sara, beau-
tifully attired in a costume much simi-
lar to that of the bride, while Mr Jae.
Dallas, of Forest, cousin of the groom,
assisted the latter, The ceremony be-
ing over,all retired to the dining room,
where a meat aumptuone repast of al-
most every delicacy awaited the guest.
The estimation in which the bride is
held is quite apparent, as the many
presents she received were exc ption-
ally costly and beautiful. T bride
and groom took the evening t in for
London, Port Stanley, Port Huron,
and other places of interest. May
they have a pleasant voyage over the
ocean of life is the sincere desire of
their many friends.

ne- FARnWELL,-.On Sunday last Rev E.
A. Fear preached hie farewell sermon
rald, at all the appointments on the: circuit.
An- The crowd here on Sunday night was
ber sufficient to testify of the goodwill
of with which he severs his coI�vection
he with us, and of the high esteem in
eo- which he, as a pastor, was held during
rds his two years sojourn among us.. Un-
der the efficient management of Mr
Fear, the circuit, we may say, has
prospered financi fly, socially and
spiritually. Wet st his labor has
not been in vain, a d that some souls
have been bro iglu into the knowledge
of the gospel. r Fear has spent the
whole of his ministerial life (18 years),
with the exception of one year, in.
Goderieh district, and now he leaves
the district for his new circuit in Mil-
verton. While we regret his departure
from among us, we wish that success
may be his. and that he may see abun-
dant fruit for his labors. Mr and Mrs
Samuel Fear, parents of the former,
have gone to live in the same village;
this we regret also, as in Mr Fear, sr.,
we lose a Fecal preacher and an ear nest
Christian church worker.

ization of the company is due chiefly
o the indefatigable efforts of Mr W.B.

itial steps were taken last December
y the above-named gentlemen, and
he company was formed with Mr For-

ted as ether members of the director-
te, Messrs John Cox. John Jenkins,

mpany was registered under the ero-
sions of the Ontario Statutes. After
e company was formed, the matter
getting stock subscribed was attend -
to by each member of the board,and
e required amount soon obtained. -
he next matter to be attended to was
e erection of a building, the contract
which was let to Mr Thos.McKenzie,
Clinton. The work was performed
the satisfaction of the board, and
mpleted on the 20th of May. The
ilding is of brick, the main portion
ing 65x 30ft, one-half of which is used
a make room, the other being par-
ioned off for a curing room. An ex-
nsion runs from centre of main build -
g 38 feet, having a width of 20 feet,
hich is used as a press room. The in-

GONE TO HER REWARD. -It is with
regret that we this week chronicle the
death of a very highly esteemed young
lady, in the person of Miss Ellen Cox,
daughter of Mr James Cox,who passed
peacefully away, after an illness of
about two months, at the home of her
father, on the 10th con. of Hullett, on
Friday morning, June 21st. Deceased
was well and favorably known around
here, having lived in this neighborhood
for the past five or six years. Being
always of a bright and cheerful dispo-
sition, she was beloved by all with
whom she associated. Having been
converted in early life, she was known
as a bright and happy Christian, her
life bearing testimony to the fact that
religion brings joy. She was for some
time a devoted teacher in the Metho-
dist Sabbath school in this place, hav-
ing charge of a class of small girls, to
whom she became much attached. She
was also a member of the pastor's class
and was one of the most faithful in at-
tendance thereon, while it was her
privilege to do so, and in this connec-
tion her voice has often been heard in
prayer and praise to her heavenly Fa-
ther. All through he ens, which
was brought on by•„ at k of grip,
she maintained a remarkabl fortitude
and resignation to the divine will, and
though everything was done for her
that loving hands could do to restore
her to health, yet the Lord saw fit to
call her home. Her patient, cheerful
submission, her sweet childlike trust
in her heavenly Father, bore impres-
sive testimony to the saving and -sus-
taining power of divine grace. Her
kind and cheery voice will be much
missed in this neighborhood, as well as
in her home, but the consolation that
she is et home in heaven is sufficient
to soothe the broken hearts of the -
family.
Dearest sister, thou hast left us,
Here thy loss we deeply feel,
But 'Us God that hath bereft us;
.He can all our sorrows heal.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life has fled;
Then in heaven with joy to greet thee,
Where no farewell tear is shed.
On Saturday afternoon her remains
were conveyed to Ball's church, fol-
lowed by a large number of sympa-
thizing friends, where a memorial ser-
vice was conducted by Rev H. J. Fair,
of Londesboro, who took for his text
Matt. 24, 44, "Be ye also ready," after
which the remains were interred in the
cemetery adjoining. The sorrowing
family have the sympathy of the com-
munity in this hour of sad bereave-
ment.

with the following address :--
Deas SISTER, -The time has come than

pleasant times we have had together. Wish-
ing yon many prosperous and nappy days in -
the future, we desire to meet yon in heaven,
where parting is no more. Signed in be-
half of the society, Mae. WM. Goon,
Mss. E. MITcnxrs,
MRs. N. Bean.
Mrs Thibadeau then replied in a very
pleasing manner. After the baskets
were emptied, and all were satisfied;
each one returned to their own home
quite pleased with the evening spent.

speaks of solidity but of beauty, and
we do not think a more suitable struc-
