SUDDEN DEATH.-LaSt Thursday Messrs Cantelon Bros. received word by wire of the serious illness of their sister, Mrs. D. C. McRoberts, of Lon- don township, and shortly after that the lady ad succumbed to acute in- flammati n of the bowels. Thedeceas- ed's nee' name was Kate Ann, the younges t of the late David C' dao daughter Cantelon of Goderich township, and wastmarried about thirteen years. Her age was 39 years. She leaves a family of four interesting daughters,the eldest 12 and the youngest three. The deceased had for many years been a consistent and active member of the Methodist church and was prepared for such a sudden summons, her illness being but a couple of days. Although Mrs. Mc - Robert's illness was of such short dur- ation, she was conscious and signified her desires as to the text and hymn for the burial service. The funeral took place to Birr cemetery last Saturday, some one hundred vehicles being in the solemn procession. Her six step- sons were the pall -bearers. The sympathy of a very large number of friends in this section is extended to the bereaved husband, family and friends, Brief Town Topics. "The Two Johns." The town band is taking a very long rest.

It costa nothing to have an iters of news inserted in Tun NEWS -RECORD. Any news of interest is always cheer- fully published free of cost. THE NEws-RECORD can get you up a neat and plain wedding invitation, or supply you wish something more ela- borate, at very moderate prices. The other day a boy shnotist return- ed home with several inches less barrel. He was not aware several inches of it had been blown off. Messrs.

Weather prophets base their prog- 'nostications of the heavy winter ahead on the height of the ragweed growing about. The weeds are from two to three `feet high, and an old adage is recalled which says that the snow will fall as sleep as the ragweeds are tall. Town Topics.

It is amusing to notice how our ex- changes studiously avoid giving THE NEWS -RECORD credit for columns of items stolen from this paper. When they are afraid the item may prove libelous, then this journal shoulders the whole responsibility aqd is given due credit. The entertainment Monday night at the Baptist church was a grand success, All the music was well rendered and thoroughly appreciated. "The manner of increasing entrusted talents," by Mr. Hoover was very entertaining. The audience was large and liberal, the re- ceipts being $23.58. We again notice that our town totem. was not reliable authority when it said in reference to the dismissal of J. E.

PRESENTATroN.--In order to show their appreciation of the decision of Father West in giving a local firm the contract for most of the interior fur- nishings in the church, the employes of the Organ Factory on Saturday pre- sented the rev. gentleman with a hand- some chair, THE ANNrvERSARY.--Anniversary and thanksgiving services will he held on Sunday and Monday, next 15th and 16th inst., in Victoria-st Methodist church. Special sermon and music on the Sabbath and a platform meeting at 8 o'clock Monday evening. Ad- dresses will he delivered by Rev.J.F:dge, of North-st church, and Rev. J. A. Anderson, B. A., of the Presbyterian church. Fort. THE CENTRAL PRIHON,--Thos. Craig appeared before His Honor Judge Masson and pleaded guily to the nine chargee on which he hod been committed. Before sentence was pass- ed P. Holt, who defended the prisoner, made a Strong plea on his behalf. The judge, in sentencing Craig pointed out his many crimes and told h'.m that he might be sent to the penitentiary for life on one of the charges of forgery, but that on account of his youth and his promise of amendment he would he as lenient as was compatible with public safety. Craig was then senten- ced to 23 months in the Central prison with hard labor each of 7 charges and 6 months on one, the sentences to run concurrently. It will be seen that de- fendant was only sentenced on eight charges, the ninth, a charge of forgery being held over. By this procedure the defendant is in bonds for good behaviour, and should his walk here- after be in accordance with his pro- mises he will hear no more of it, but for any criminal act he may he brought before the judge and sentenced to a long term in the penitentiary without further trial.

The church looked exceedingly brilliant in the evening, the row of lights just within the circle near the altar having a wonderful effect. SUDDEN DEATH. -One of our oldest residents, Mr. Thos. Butson, died very suddenly on Friday evening. The de- ceased gentleman had that day com- plained of a cold in the chest, and was treated for the supposed complaint,but believing the attack was not serious did not call in an M. D.

W. Logan. The oil painting by Will R. Clarke was much admired and freely applauded. The drama O'Calla- hen was, on the whole, fairly put on the stage, but its presentation was somewhat marred by one or two of the gentlemen forgetting their lines. As might be expected, -C. -W.

He was a Very liberal giver to cloth the Auburn and Carlow Presbyterian churches,and his hospitality was well known. He had earned quite a competency of this world's goods. In politics he was an ardent liberal, but his genial disposi- tion tempered his opposition to those who differed from him, and there are none but will remember him with kindly thoughts. Mr. Young was one of the oldest and for years one of the most active members of the agricultur- al societies. The funeral took place on Wednesday last to Colborne cemetery, and was without doubt the largest ev er seen in the township. Fully two hun- dred conveyances must have been in the procession, a striking testimony of the respect in which deceased was held. Revs. Mr. Anderson and John Young conducted the religipus services.

New machinery is being rushed in to meet the emergency, and altogether it is very clear that the Fancily Herald is doing an enormous business.

A LADY RESIDENT OF HURON PASSES THE CENTURY MARK. Mrs. Samuel Laird, now residing with her daughter, Mrs. R. Hays, Seaforth, was one hundred years old on the 31st of October of this year. All those who settled with her are gone, and a second generation have taken their place. Many of that sec- ond generat irn have reached the allott- ed time. Many of them have gone over to the great majority. She has lived to mingle with a third genera- tion. She cep, no doubt, appreciate those lines •,f Burns, wherein he says : •'1 have lived so many changeful 1•ears On earth I am a stranger grown.' Some 15 years ago Mrs. Laird lost her eye sight.,hutotherwise has the use of her faculties. She is always pleased to converse freely upon events that transpired when the next, oldest in- habitant was in her infancy. We speak of the reign of Queen Victoria as one of very great length, but to our venerable friend at Seaforth, the cor- onation of Her Majesty was but of yes- terday, Her mind reaches back not only through the reign of Queen Vic- toria, but the reigns of William IV., George IV. and a third part of that of George Iii. Mrs, Laird is the widow of the late Samuel Laird of Brussels, and holds her age well. Slie was horn in Donegal, Ireland, on the 31st of October, 1796, and when 36 years of age emigrated to this country with her husband. They sailed from London- derry on the VVm. Ewen for Quebec, but the vessel never reached its des- tination for the reason that it struck on a rock near a deser t island and went down. All the passengers were safely landed on the island from which the party were rescued four or five days after. The rescue vessel carried them to Boston. From there they proceed- ed to Haysville, Wellington county, the journey occupying exactly six months. Mrs. Laird was last week on a visit to her grandson, S. T. Plum, at Brussels, where several members -of the five generations living were photo graphed. May the good lady still, spared for some time is the sincere wish of her many friends.
