ENTERTAINMENT.—The Royal Temp- lars will give an entertainment in their hall on Tuesday evening next, Nov. 19. The chief feature of the program will be that of Mr Rich. C. Pearce, the cele- brated imitator and ventriloquist. Mr Pearce's entertainments are very high- ly spoken of wherever given, and are of an unusually high order.

S.• was held in e talairr: church, on Wednesday, 18th ittst„ when a good program was given, and the Presbyterial secretary, Mrs • McNabb, of Lucknow, addressed the meeting. PEDAGOGICAL.—The trustees of the school here have engaged the services of Mr C. Fisher, of Benrailler, as teach- er for next year, ata salary of 8350. Mr Fisher comes highly recommended as a teacher, having taught for some years in Colborne with good success. Though somewhat of a stranger, we doubt not he will keep the Holmesville school to the high standard that has been attained during the past years. Mr McRoberts intends pursuing his studies at Goderich Collegiate Insti- tute (it should have been Clinton.) During the three years of his engage- ment here he has proven himself to -be a moat exemplary teacher and example to the young folk, and it is with the greatest reluctance the section is com- pelled to secure another teacher. Hut not only in school hours has his influ- ence and character been felt. He has won tor himself the greatest respect from all. His hearty support of all that was good was seen in the manner in which he helped in the League, Templars, Sunday School, prayer meet- ing, church, etc. For the past year he has efficiently filled the position of lo- cal preacher in connection with the Methodist church. He will take with him the well wishes of the young peo- ple especially, who will always remem- ber with pleasure his associations in Holmesville. The NEW ERA bas not the slightest hesitation in saying that the influence of such a young man as Mr McRoberts has shown himself to be is far-reaching for good, and the char- acters he may have helped to mould, and the example he has set are im- portant factors in life, the extent of which cannot be properly estimated. And it is all the more to his credit that these exist,when the lighter tendencies of the age are considered. That his future may be marked by the same ir- reproachable integrity, and the con- tinuance of the genial qualities that have won universal esteem is the wish of the NEw ERA and all his friende. Summerhill. NOTES.—Mr Johnson Harris, of Mitchell, spent a day or two here with his friend J. 11. Lowery this week. Minnie Kilty and Edna Beacom are vlctitns of scarlet fever at present. Miss Clara Proctor, of Holmesdille, was the guest of her sister Mrs Lowery last week. Exeter NorEs.—John Taylor, one of the Us - borne pioneers, died here on Thursday, at the age of 74 years, Mr R.

Mrs Gordon and Mrs Sanders also visited friends in that town last week. Mapy took advantage of the flue weather last week not only by vie- itinf;, but by piling hard into the root business and securing them safely for winter's use. We are pleased to see Mise Salkeld able to be out again, after her severe attack of inflammatory rheumatism. Our esteemed young tailor, Mr O. Decker, is at present as- sisting his uncle at Auburn; we hope soon to see Con's pleasant countenance around again. DEATH.—A gloom was cast over the whole community on Saturday last, when the death of Mr Albert Woods, only son of Mr Thos. Woods, of the 8th on, was announced. Although he had been suffering for several weeks from a had form of typhoid fever, all hoped it might end favorably. On Fri- day it was learned the fever had left him, and that 24 hours would decide the poor lad's fate, but all strength had been spent in the scorching fever and delirium of the past weeks, so was unable to rally, and passed peacefully away about Saturday noon. Albert was just 19 years past, a promising young man, gentle, kind and thought- ful, and a general favorite with old and young alike. Being an only son -•: much beloved, the blow comes dou .' yy `harts on the sorrowing mother, wh. ie ill with the fever herself. The funeral took place to Dungannon cemetery, on oncouryse ltohf instends,loalt wedofy wha ome along with others,extend to the father, mother and sister most heartfelt sym- pathy. DEATH off MR. MILLER.—Death is certainly no respector of persons, tak- ing alike the young, old and middle- aged. It is with deep regret we have to chronicle the death of a very es- teemed citizen, in the person of Mr R. K. Miller, late merchant of this place. Although dying of consumption for some time past, the change came very suddenly at the last, being at his sup- per Monday evening, and a short time before was asking the particulars of the funeral of the late Albert Woods, by whom he had been taken out for his last drive, Albert being well and hearty then. Mr Miller was brought up at York Mills, county of York, mov- ing later to Goderich with his father, the late Wm. Miller, and the rest of the family,and was a brother to Messrs J. R. Miller, late P. S. Inspector, Gode- rich, now a barrister in Toronto, and W. R. Miller, late principal of Gode- rich public school. Mr Miller was for- merly:a school teacher himself, mov- ing from Auburn,wherehe last taught, to this place, when he bought out the business of Mr John Gordon. Wher- ever he was Mr Miller took an active par t in all societies which were for the moral and religious benefit of mankind. He was a member of the Presbyterian church and held the position of pre- centor here from the time he came, in 1884, until his health failed. In honor of his services he was presented with an illuminated address and a purse of money a short time ago. He was well known in political circles too as he was township clerk of West too, and in virtue of his office was municipal returning officer for several years, being an advanced Reformer. Although a great sufferer from time to time with his disease, which began with asthma, he bore it with great pa- tience and Christian resignation, and when able to speak had a kind and cheery word for all, to the last; was quite prepared and willing to obey the Master's summons whenever he would call him to himself, the only sorrow being in having to leave his wife and family, which is composed of five boys and two girls, the youngest but a child a few months old, and none old enough to render the mother much assistance yet, but, as the Psalmist said, "His God would be their God forever and ever." Mrs Miller and family and their friends have the deepest sympa- thy of a large circle of friends in their sad bereavement. Blyth NOTES.—Rev J. W. Pring, Nile, vis- ited friends in town on Friday. Mrs Ainsworth, who spent a week here, in the interests of the Viari Co., Toronto, left for Brussels on Thursday evening. Mr Rose Ackley, Tara, was the guest of Mr F. Buggin last week.
