Carr, one of Huron's-- pio- neers, and the following particulars will be of interest:— He was born in Yorkshire, Eng., on the 11th of May, 1818, emigrated to Canada in the spring of 1845, settled in the township of Hope, Durham county, and was married to Mary Tindall in December, 1816. He carried on a tailoring busi- ness, general store and post office in the village of Canton, township of Hope, for a number of years. In the spring of 1882 he moved up west to the township of East Wawanosh, Hu- ron county, and entered into farming, and continued on a farm until death. He held the positio 'reas- urer of East Wawanosh for twenty years in succession, retiring s''me two years two. He was also Se,,e .-Treas- urer Treas- urer and Trustee for 8. 8. o. 6, for twenty-four years in succsior; was of sterling integrity and onorable in all his dealings, and though very outspoken never m s e any enemies. He was the father of nine children, four of whom d, 'd in their youth; five are still living, two Eons and three daughters; his odest son, Alfred, is farming the old homestead; William is a veterinary surgeon at Kirkton: one daughter, Mrs R,obt. Slater, living at Blyth, and two daughters living at the old home. In religion he was a life long Methodist, having been a member of that body for over sixty years. In polities he was a Reformer, and always acted on principle; he was not one of those who would sacrifice principle for party. The cause of his death was paralysis, having been stricken suddenly, only living four days and being unconscious during that time. Re died"July 10tb, at the age of 78 years and two months. His wife having died in October, 1890. Ile has one brother and sister livin near London, Eng. [En. NOTE—We had the pleasure of Mr Carr's acquain- tance for years, and can only speak cf hits in the very highest terms; he was a genuine friend, unaffected by dis- play or show, exceedingly sincere in his religious life, and one whose friendship was worthy of having.— ED.

Cald- well, of Manchester, handed in a petition having thereon the names of a majority of the ratepayers in that part of the police village of Manchester situated in Hullett, praying the council to raise by local tax the Hullett share of the $500 required by the trustees of said village for purchasing a small fire engine, eto., to be repaid in seven annual payments. The request of the said petitioners was granted, and the council will pass a by-law et the August meeting, pursuant to statute, to authorize the loan. A petition from H.

The council decided to charge $5 per diem for the use of the township road grader and man to work it, to any in- dividual or corporation that may desire to use it. The Public school trustee boards, when preparing their estimates for the year, should bear in mind that the muni• cipal grant heretofore made is now dispen- sed with. Council adjourned until called by the reeve. Jeune CAMPBELL, Reeve. DEATH OF A PIONEER.—Death is al- ways an unwelcome visitor, but when it comes in a manner entirely unexpec- ted, its visit is particularly sad. Last Friday afternoon Mrs Lawson, wife of Mr Anthony Lawson, of the Oth con., went out to the barn fur some purpose, nd at the same time Mr Lawson wen to the pasture for the cows;when he ca a hack he was surprised that bis wif was not about the house, and, going t the barn to look for her, found h lying on the floor in a semi- unconscieus condition. Medical assis- tance was at once called in, but no- thing could, be done which would ful- ly restore her to consciousness; she could recognize the members of the family, but was not able to talk or give any indication of what had hap- pened, and ebe lingered in this condi- tion until Tuesday evening, when she passed away at the age of 65 years. She was one of the pioneers of Hullett, having come to this township when it was a perfect wilderness, about 42 years ago. Born in Yorhshire, she emigrated when quite young, residing with her parents in Pickering until her marriage to Mr Lawson in 1850, when they came west, settling on the base line; twenty years ago they_sold out and removed to the 6th con., yvhere they have since resided. She was a woman in no way ostentatious, and esteemed by all who knew her, a genu- ine friend and good mother, and a fly m believer in the teachings of the Episcopal church. The mother of 11 children, 10 of whom survive her—sev- en sons and three daughters, the latter being Mrs A. Leitch and Mrs John Buggin, of Hullett; and Mrs Frank Naegle, of Colborne. The remains were interred in Kinburn cemetery, on Thursday. Mr Lawson bas the sincere sympathy of his old friends in his be- reavement. week of Mrs W. Brandon.

Reeve Burne' handsome new residence is fast near- ing completion, and when finished will be one of the finest in the place. It is prominently situated on Louisa street facing the square. Mr James Donald- son has made a large addition to his residence on Louisa street, the whole veneered with grey brick, and, with the new verandah makes a very neat and tasty home. Mr F. J. Marks has errcted four new summer cottages and a dancing pavilion. Mr Jowett has also erected three summer cottages, in a beautiful, shady spot, overlooking the lake, in his cedar grove. Mrs Wawsley's new residence on Main street is another Improvement to the appearance of the village.

Instead of resort- ing to the means of raising money by garden parties, concerts or socials, they took up a special collection and receiv• ed about $80 last Sabbath, it being their anniversary, and the Rev. J. 8• Henderson preached two excellent ser- mons. Rev. Mr Muir, of Brucefleld, is to exchange pulpits with Rev. Mr Graham next Sabbath, July 28.

TEMPLARS. — The Good Templars postponed their meeting until Thurs- day of this week, so that all might be at liberty to attend the Presbyterian garden party at Mr D. McGregor's on Wednesday evening. As this is a busy season the time of meeting has been changed to 8.30 p.m. to give mem- bers from a distance a chance of at- tending. A very interesting program was given last week, and the members are striving to make the gatherings both pleasant and profitable. Our lodge is alive and in fairly good con- dition, yet there is always room for more workers.

Our village constable has come to the conclusion that it is impossible for him to discharge the duties of that high and responsible position; as a conse- quence he has resigned,and we are in- formed that his resignation has been accepted. Mr James Mutch starts threshing to -morrow; it is not often we have the humming sound of the machine so early in the season. Rev Mr McMillan, formerly pastor of the Presbyterian church here, will occupy the pulpit here next Sabbath. Mr Jos.

McGee has gone to London this week, on a visit to his sister, Mrs Young; be also purposes taking medical advice regard- ing some disease of the eye, from which he has been troubled a good deal lately. The late election has made such a powerful impression on some young politicians, that they are unable to recognize some old acquain- tances; it is a good job elections do not come oftener, or they would be oblivi- ous to their own existence, and would require to be carefully guarded, for fear they might get lost, if allowed to roam at large. Londesboro EXCURSION,—There were a number from round here took in the excursion to the Model Farm last Friday. Some took the regular train to Clinton and a larger number drove out.

At the close of the meeting one candidate was initiated and several whom the Supreme Or- ganizer interviewed have expressed their intention of becoming members at an early date. The order is making steady progress in this place, and no doubt as its merits become rnore gen- erally known there will bell rapid in- crease in membership. Zurich.
