By hard work and industry he was able to leave his family of four sons and five daughters well provided for. He was a member of the Presbyterian church, and in politics was a staunch Liberal, and a good and obliging neighbor. His re- in slowly.Mrs Geo.

Fraser on Mon- day morning last. Mr Ross had gone to Mr Fraser's on Thursday, to have some surgical operation by Drs. Gunn and Elliott. The state of his health was such that the surgical operation could not be perform. ed. He was treated for hie sickness, con- sidered to be blood poisoning, on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but without avail. On Sunday night he grew rapidly worse, and in apite of all that medical skill could do he snacnmbed to the malady. Deceased was attacked in the month of April with cancer of a virulent type, and during the spring and summer he made a moat deter- mined and successful fight against the dis- ease. Daring that time he underwent no fewer than seven surgical operations. one of these being in Detroit and three in Chicago all being borne with remarkable patience and resolution. He was a man in the prime of life, being about 53 years of age. He was born in Glenfallooh, Fisher's Grant, Pictou Co., Nova Scotia, but when quite young his father moved to the township of Stanley—about 45 years ago—and settled on lot 27, second conoession, where the de- ceased spent his life, Mr Ross was a man of superior intelligence, and had a wide range of knowledge of men and things, He was endowed with a retentive memory, had a keen sense of humor and wit, was genial, and social in his disposition, and made a pleasing end an agreeable companion. He was a man of sound sense and olear judg- ment, was successful in.the affairs of this life, and in easy cironmetancee. He was for many years a director of the McKillop Fire Insurance Company, and had been President of it for a considerable time. He attended a meeting of this director's board, at Seaforth, only two weeks ago. He was an ardent Liberal in politics, whose voice had great weight in the Reform councils, and had many offers of municipal honors, which he always •declined. He was a staunch adherentiof the Presbyterian church, of which the late John Ross, of Brumfield, was pastor. His pleasant manner, his easy address, his prudent advice and kindly na- ture, gained for him a very wide circle of acquaintances, who will miss hie kindly word and pleasant voice. The pathetio la- ment of Tennyson for his lost friend will fitly voice the sentiments of the great num- ber who had the pleasure of sharing his friendship and advice.

Proctor had charge of the ladies' department, and did hie work well.

Some of the paintings were fair, while others were simply daubs. The first prize mangold did duty at the Western Fair, also a lot of farm pro- duce by G. H. Davis. A couple of fa- kirs were allowed to ply their nefar ious art on therounds; these persons help to lower the morality of the younger people. With a more enterprizing set of officers, which would necessitate two or three changes, our show could be made second to none among the town- ship shows.

Mr McDonald has secured the position of teacher. FOOTBALL.—Last Friday evening the foothall club from here went to Eben- ezer, to have a friendly name with the club there. Upon arriving, Manches- ter club was calmly informed tha,, two of the Ebenezer club were absent, and no game was the result. Rather a small piece of business,w hen the match had been previously arranged. CHURCH.—The synod of the Luther- an church met in this village last week; it is not often we see so many clerical gentlemen in our midst; we have not arrived at perfection yet, and every impress for the better is kindly wel- comed.
