The Stratford Beacon is Kind enough
to say both the ;Goderich Signal and
the Clinton New Kra deserving of
iriix'eh credit for the admirable manner
in which they maintained the cause of
Liberalism during the content in West
Huron. ,
Sir Charles Tepper wad elected in Cape
Breton on Tuesday by a majority of 734.
Of coarse it will be claimed as a great vio-
tory, but it is simply ra Daae of " as you
.were." We never doubted his return in that
Conservative stronghold, and wondered at
the Liberals making such a strong fight as
they did. They probably expected tc pall
down the previons majority. His return to
political life is not a good omen for the
country, because hie -whole career has been
to plunge recklessly into debt, -and it is
likely that he will only remain a member
of the cabinet long enough to help the party
through the eleotione.
DEATHS.— A.t her' late residence; in
the township of Keppel, near Owen
Sound, on January 21st, Mrs Annie
Healy passed from this life to the rest
of''the $paradise of God. Born in Ire-
land in yeai 1816, the deceased
bad reached the age of 77 years,, Pos-
sessed o1 more than average strength
of intellect, she,retained the vigor of
rental facultibt3'to the end of life. By
her first husband, Nicholas Stout, she
had one daughter and two spne, of
sent in-
esville,
whom the youngest is the pr
cumbent of the parish of Ho
Rev. Win. Stout. By a second mar-
riage with Mr M. Dsaly, in 1848, she
leaves a family of six. All her child-
ren with her second husband survive
to mourn the loss of one whowas dear
in life and blessed in memory.
The death of Mr Fred F. Hartley,
Whieh.occurred at the residence of Mr
8. McCulloch, Huron road, Goderich
township, on Sunday, was a particu-
larly sad and unexpected event. On
the first of the year Mr Hartley took
charge of the school at Taylor's Cor-
ners; a few days since he was taken
with diphtheria, of a bad form, and in
spi to of the hest of care and attention,
he died on Sunday, being not quite 20
years of age. He was a son of ltev. A.
Y. Hartley, of Bluevale, who was with
him at the time of hie death, and who
has the sympathy of his many friend,
in this bereavement. He attended
Clinton Collegiate and also Clinton
Model, and was regarded as an unusu-
ally bright and clever young man, hav-
ing passed for his second before he was
19. The remains were interred in Clin-
ton cemetery, and the teachers and
pupils of the Collegiate showed their
affection and sympathy by attending
the funeral in a body on Monday.
Blyth
FUNERAL.—The funeral of the late
Win. McGill, of Morris, took place
here on Saturday. His remains were
first taken to Trinity church, where

terwierele conveyed to . the Trinity
