WHITE.—Miss White, who so long was cared and provided for by the Town Council and general public, tiass- ed away last Thursday and was quietly buried on Friday. In her demise the injunction that The wages of sin is Death" should be impressed upon young and old alike. Doubtless erring youth brought untold agony to the poor soul. Years of silent suffering from youthful indiscretions with all its blasting of hope should prove a warn- ing beacon light to those who. are wont to wander away. True, none are perfect and are not likely to be in this world. But on every hand forebodings are numerous of the certain end. With ell her faults she was human and more to he pitied than ridiculed. Peace to the dead. Tow Topics.

At the age of 18 the late Mr. Butt was converted at revival services in the village of Hampton and from that time forward was a consistent member of the Methodist church. In the earlier days his Colborne home was the home of many Bible Christian workers, and the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Butt in this respect was known far and wide. To mourn their loss is left the bereaved widow, Rev. W.-11. of Centralia, Eph- raim on the homestead, Mrs. Robt. Mcllveen of Stanley, Mrs. James Gorrel of Crystal City, Man., and Mrs. Lou Smith of Detroit. The large funeral on Monday testified to the sterling worth of another of Huron's worthy pioneers. Peace to his ashes. GIDDINGS. — On Sunday morning another old_ pioneer passed away in the person of Mrs. J. Gibbings, widow of the late Jonas Gibbings. She Woe' 81 years of age. Mrs. Gibbings was born in Suffolk, England, in 1811, and emi- grated to America with her parents in 1829. It took seven weeks to make the ocean voyage which was considered good(time. On the trip from New York to Little York (now Toronto) where her parents settled, she met her hus- band who was also emigrating. In 1831 they were married and immediate- ly set out to make a home for them- selree in the Huron Tract. She came by boat to Goderich, taking three weeks. Her husband walked from Toronto to Goderich in seven days and drove a cow. From Berlin to Clinton it was solid bush, the settlers having to fol- low the blaze marks on the trees. They first settled a mile from Goder- ich, but afterwards removed to a farm that afterwards became a part of the town of Clinton. They were the 2nd family to settle here—Mr. Vandeberg being the first—and suffered all the hardships of pioneering. Alone in the woods with no neighbors within miles and at one time in 1837 she was left alone for weeks when her husband with other settlers in the Huron Tract were called out to protect the frontier at Walpole Island. They were the first Bible Christians here and in the days of the cireui, rider when it took the missionary, sometimes afoot and some- times on horseback, a whole month to complete his circuit, her home was a1 - ways open to the missionary of the Gospel. Her three sons are Wm. Gile Rhings, of Alma, and John and Thomas Gibbings,af town. Her eldest son was the first white male child born in the Huron Tract and was the centre of considerable attraction at the time. Notwithstanding her years she was a bright and wellypreserved woman, being m,possession of all her faculties up to the time of her death. She had a remarkable memory for events that happened 40 or 50 years ago and was fond of relating the early history of Clinton to her friends. The funeral took place to Clinton cemetery yester- day. THone roN.—Mary, wife of Mr. Win. Thornton, who had been ailing from inflammatory rheumatism a ,couple of years, passed to a just reward last Thursday, aged 71 years and 7 months all but a day. The latae Mrs. Thornton first saw the light of day at Thirsk, Yorkshire, Eng., otm the 16th of Aug- ust., 1824, and was married to her pres- ent bereft ppaarrterer in Sunderland on the 16th of January, 1850. She was a daughter of the lute William -Jaques. ' Mr. and Mrs. Thornton came to Caen-; aria and settled in Clinton in Mani 1871. There are two sons in Manitoba, -one daughter (deceased, and one who is innfortunately blind at .home. The slate Mr:I.

Born in the village of Stiek- landi, Dorchester, Eng.. in June, 1826, the late Mr. Butt emigrated to Canada when hut 16 years of age and settled in the township of Darlington near Bow- mativill, Ont. In 1847 he married Priscilla Honey. During the fall of 1852 Mr. and Mrs, Butt moved west to what VMS' then known as the Huron Tract and hewed out a comfortable farm home' in the Fisher settlement, town- ship of Colborne, across from Ball's bridge. His father and three brothers also resided there. Some twenty-three years ago he sold his Colborne farm and bought another on the Base Line, which goes to bis son Ephraim. Here Mr, Butt resided twelve years and then retired to a plot just outside the corporation. From this he also retired .Clinton, Canaria West, this fine placard (Which I shall -show you, announcing a grand monster* 'meeting to be held on ehra day at Seaforth, a town near Clinton, to include the brethren from all the neighboripg counties, and to be addressed by 10:ar 17 speakers of high rank and influence, (Cheers.)

Clare Bros. & Co. of Preston have se- cured from the Kincardine Board of Education the contract for heating and ventilating the High School. Two furnaces will be put in. The total cost is $432.75.

The total sales of cheese amounted to nearly 31,000 ; the average price being Sec per Ib. While Mr. Bowerman was painting at the house of Mr. J. Kellermann, Dashwood, on Friday last, the scaffold dave way, and he fell to the ground, islocating his ankle. The following is taken from last week's Chicago British American: "Chas. E. Davis of this city, son of Mr. Davis of the Mitchell Advocate, Ont., narrowly escaped being one of the victims of Holmes, the insurance mur- derer. Mr. Davis, who carries on busi- ness as a jeweller, occupies one of the stores on the ground floor of the Holmes building and carries an insur- ance of $15,000 on his life. He was marked as a victim by Holmes, who told a woman who was in his confid- ence, that he was arranging to get control of Davis' insurance policy. Fortunately for Davis, a friend per- suaded him against having anything to do with Holmes, and thereby un- doubtedly saved his life." C. E. Convention.—The fourth annual convention of the Huron County Christian Endeavor Union will he held in Blyth on Tuesday and Weinesday, Sept. 3rd and 4th. In the preparation of Che programme no pains have been spared to have the time fully occupied with practical topics, and the Execu- tive have, as far as was possible, distributed the topics among the vari- ous societies of the county. The services of Rev. R. N. Burns, B. A., of Toronto, have been secured to give two addresses and assist in making the convention interesting and profitable to those attending it. Miss M. S. Washington of Clinton will present a report of the great International Con- vention of Christian Endeavor held in Boston July llth to 15th, when some 56,000 Endeavorers met for consulta- tion, inspiration and mutual beneflt. While the Executive have done every- thing in their power to make the coming convention a great inspiration to the County Endeavorers and Ep- worthians, they recognize that the @recess of the convention depends upon the interest taken by the Individual societies. The Local Committee is busy making arrangements to give the delegates a cordial re.eption, and from the enthusiastic way in which the members are doing their work, we can promise them a good time at te hands of the Blyth Young People. A social "at home" is being arranged for, by which tea will be served to the dele- gates in one of the churches on Wed- nesday evening. That the teaching profession is crowded is evident.from the number of applications made for the principal- ship of the.Dutton public school. In response • to an advertisement, no less than 107 teachers applied for the sit- uation, the applicants residing in all parts of the province, and some of the letters bore Uncle Sain's post mark. Among those who applied were ex - high school teachers, university gradu- ates and even a graduate of a medical college. John W. Atcheson, formerly of the Stratford model, has secured the New Eden school, on the 12th concession, East Nissouri, for the balance of this year at the prodigious salary for these hard tunes of one dollar. All those who had any intention of attending the model schools this fall should pond- er long over the above example of a teacher's salary. We wonder if this ncludes lighting the school fires and sweeping. Mr. Thomas Dinsdale and sons, of Stanley, purchased a fine new separat- or last year 'from the celebrated Mc- Pherson Company, of Clinton, and this year they have got a tine new Leonard engine. Mr. Dinsdale is one of the oldest and most experienced threshers in the county, and his sons are fully equal to, if not better than the worthy ather and they seem destin- ed to keep theiroutfitfullyup to the hest, and to retain the excellent record they have made for themselves in the - threshing line. A pleasant time was spent at the' River Hotel, Bayfield, on Wednesday evening when the visitors from the var- ious hotels, the campers and the eotta- ger•s, to-gether with a number of gen- tlemen from Seaforth and other friends assembled and passed the time in a social dance. the dining room had been cleared of tables and chairs and was prettily de- corated with flags and flowers, while the lawn at the back was illuminated and seats were placed in cool and shady spots where the over- heated merry -makers might enjoy a few quiet moments. Duringtheeyening light refreshments were served. Danc- ing was kept up until an early hour in the morning. All the guests were most highly pleased with the hospital- ity of Mr. and Mrs. Swartz, who did all in their power to add to the pleas- ure and enjoyment of the evening.

Bro Wons.—Farrners have this year very good crops from general reports and people generally will 1)e glad to learn of the prosperity of the hardy tillers of the soil. Among the thresh- ers doing good work and big work may he mentioned Mr. Isaac Brownlee. Last week in eight hours one day he threshed for Mr. Thomas Archer 1,300 bushels of grain, as follows:—Wheat, 450 bushels • barley, 550 ; peas, 150; oats, 150. This is considered a record - breaker and will be hard to heat.
