NEBBITT.—The Re gjna Standard of a recent issue thus re- fers to the death of a former resident of this village:—The sudden and alto- gether unexpected death of Mr. Joseph S. Nesbitt, which occurred early on Saturday morning, was a shock to the people of Regina, among whom he was well and favorably known. He had been down with typhoid fever about two weeks and was thought to be well nigh recovery. From the first day that his illness confined him to his room he received the closest attention, the fraternal societies of which he was a member having taken prompt action in that respect. Drs. Cotton and Willoughby were in daily attendance, but in spite of skill and attention death conquered. A. joint meeting of Odd - fellows, Foresters and Firemen was held and a committee was appointed to take full charge. The funeral on Sunday afternoon was a large and most respectably conducted one. Rev. J. A. Carmichael, of whose church the deceased was a member, conducted a brief service at the hall, assisted by Rev. F. W. Auvache, of the Baptist church. The Band led the funeral pro- cession, followed by Fire Brigade, Foresters and Oddfellows in the order named. The afternoon was fine and calm. This, with the solemn strains of the Dead March, and the tolling of the fire bell, lent much to the impressive- ness lof the occasion. At the grave after the church Service, the burial ceremony of the Oddfellows was beautifully conducted, the Foresters joining with them in depositing each a sprig of evergreen. The floral wreaths, of which there were many, have been sent, together with letters of con- dolence, to the parents and other re- latives in Blyth, Ont. Mr Nesbitt was a pleasant, jovial, and agreeable young man who rapidly formed for himself an ever -widening circle of friends. Dangers stand thick through all the ground, To push us to the tomb; And fierce diseases wait around, To hurry mortals home. Infinite.ioy, or endless woo, Attends on every breath; And yet how unconcerned we go Upon the brink of doathl Waken, 0 Lord our drowsy sense, To walk this dangerous road! And If our souls be hurried hence, May they be found with God. Auburn., CHURCH ANNIVERSARY.—Anniver- sary services in connection with Donnybrook Methodist Church, will be held on Sunday next.

Swift and silently are dropping frcm our midst those ancient landmarks of the past generation, they in their youth found this Canada of ours covered in prim- eval grandeur, with the giants of the forest. To the courage, pereverance and energy of such we are indebted for a home. Last Monday morning an addition was made to the large silent majority in the person of Mr Enos Elkin. Deceased was born in the County of Donegal, Ireland, emigrating to this conntry when only five years of age, landing in New Brunswick, remaining there until the year 1850, when he removed to this township, settling on lot 45. conces- sion 14. After a few years he surveyed a part of the farm into village lot 5; tbns forming a starting point for the present village of Manchester. To his keen percep- tion of business we are indebted for the flour mills, turning the waters of the Mait- land to good account, in furnishing the ne- cessary power. He was quiet and reserv- ed regarding the services of a public capa- city; and a strong advocate of Liberal prin- ciples. The aged partner of his joys and sorrows, two sone and five daughters sur- vive him, to mourn the loss of a kind and affectionte helpmate, and a loving and ten • der parent. He was a Baptist in religion. His sons, intent on a business pursuit in lite, he eold his farm, and removed to the village of Manchester. He had passed the allotted four snore years by two years and six month. His remains were interred in Ball's Cemetry, followed by a large number of friends and acquaintances. By the lives of enoh the youths of the present may take confidence, and up and onward in the pun. snits of life. 8TH AND 9TH CON.

BEAVERS CHAMPIONS. — At Brant- ford, on Monday afternoon, the pro- tested lacrosse match between Furgus and Seatorth was played off on the Rosalea Atheletic grounds, and result- ed in favor of Seaforth, four games to two. The Se forth team reached Brampton on a regular G.T.R. train, with their ba and firemen afid about 100 admirers of the team. About 150 lacrosse enthusiasts accompanied the Fergus contingent. At 2.45the referee blew his whistle and the game started. The ball was immediately shot on Fer- gus goal and remained in that vicinity until the first game was scored for Sea - forth, by Johnston, in 2i minutes. The second game also fell to Seaforth in 7i minutes, scored by Brierly. In this game there was some very rough play. A Fergus man was cautioned and a delay of ten minutes occurred, in which there was considerable jang- ling, and an enthusiastic spectato. from Seaforth jumped into the oval to see tair play. e was escorted to the fence by Dr Roberts. Seaforth was given a f ee throw. Fergus won the third game in three minutes; scored by Irving. The fourth game was hotly contested. Fergus made a determined effort to win, but after 13 minutes fail- ed, and Seaforth scored again, Brown Jackson doing the trick. Fergus again gained heart after scoring the fifth game in half a minute, Mickie shoot- ing the ball through. The sixth game was won by Seaforth after 6 minutes play, by Freeman, although some sav the Goalkeeper fumbled and let the ball go through his own goal. The quality of the play was about even. Both teams showed some beautiful combin- ation work and teamlplay, but gener- ally it was a scramble for the ball. Fergus had a great many chances to score but failed tc take them. Black, the home player, perhaps` their strong- est man, was off, and this may in some measure account for the ;result. Sea - forth thus wins the senior champion- ship. Brussels.

Stanbury performed the duties of chairman in his usual able manner.— The citizens turned out well to show their appreciation of Mr McLeod's suc- cessful training and management of our band. He has done remarkable well in bringing our boys so rapidly on in music. (Contributed) BAYFTELD'S FIRST PLANK SIDEWALK —At the last meeting of the Bayfield council a step forward was taken in the history of our village by the or- dering of a plank sidewalk to be laid on Anne St. Although this is a back street,, not much frequented during the week, yet on it stands the Metho- dist church. By reason of the very quietness of this street cattle etc. con- gregate there largely, with the result that it is hardly possible to find a clean passage through it on Sunday, andat night many persons have been deter- red from attending the church services. It is to remedy this difficulty that the council, at the request of the pastor of the church, has ordered the sidewalk, and it deserves the thanks of the Meth- odist community for thus promptly recognizing their need, and by an al- most unanimous vote, granting their request. This will be the first side- walk of the kind to have been laid in Bayfleld, and the council of 1895 is to be congratulated on this, which we hope is but the beginning of better things, as well as on the other good work it has accomplished in the way of road grading etc., which will be fully appreciated when the spring time comes. w'.
