She leaves a grown up family to mourn the loss of a good mother. Mr Henry Rud - dell, of Morden, Man., arrived home on Tuesday evening to attend the funeral; it is seventeen years since he went out west. The large attendance at the fu- neral on Wednesday showed not only the esteem in which she was held, but the sympathy of the community to- wards the bereaved husband as well. NOTES.— Our sports are practising pitching quoits, and if any of the neighboring towns have a club of the kind, we would like them to come here and have a friendly game some day.

MORE DETROITERS.—The beautiful- ly situated property of Mr John Essen on the lake bank, hoe always been a coveted part of this charming summer resort, especially among American tourists. Few but have .admired its admirable locations and many have ex- pressed the desire to have a summer residence on a point commanding such an excellent view of Lake Huron. The property adjoining this was purchased by aDetroit physician over a year ago, and now another Detroiter has pur- chased a portion of Mr Esson's block, and has the plans all completed for a beautiful residence in the spring. It is said that other Americans have been looking at the several acres that re- main, with a view to making a regular Yankee addition to the village. A JOLLY TIME. -It was a jolly crowd and a jolly time they had at the home of Mr J. Wild on Friday night of last week. Gallant lads and bonnie lassies came from long distances to take part in the first country party of the seas- on. The spacious kitchen was cleared out, and with several fiddles quivering in every string under the touch of that veteran viplinist, Mr Jno. Bannerman, of the Sauble Line„ assisted by such popular young musi- cians as the Taylor Bros., of the Front Road, the house soon resounded from cellar to garret with some three score merry voices, and the pattering of ma- ny nimble feet. The dancing was con- tinued until the dial of time revealed another day breaking over the -eastern hills. NOTES.—Mr Arthur and Miss Hicks attended Toronto Exhibition this week.

A FINE BUILDING.—the new public school in this village is rapidly ap- proaching completion, and is decided- ly a credit to both the trustees and contractor. It looks to be larger than necessary, but the trustees no doubt know what they were doing when they let the contract, and look for an increase in the school population. We presume that when it is ready for oc- cupation it will be formally opened by the Minister of Education with suitable exercises. The contractor is Mr II. Stevens, of Clinton, who- is en- titled to much credit. NOTES.—The Chicago Canadian -Am- erican says:—Robt.
