There died in Blyth on Thursday evening last Mr, Janes McComb, one of the early pioneers of this 'action. Mr, McComb had reached hia 77th year and lately had not enjoyed the best of health, the cause of death being asthma and heart failure. Mr. McComb was born in Paisley, Scotland, and came to Canada with his father's family in 1841. They first settled in Quebec, then they moved to Hamilton and later to East Zorra township, Oxford county. Thir- ty-seven years ago next April they moved to Morris township and settled on lot b, con, 9, where deceased and his only brother, John, remained until two years ago, when they moved to Blyth and purchased the residence on Dinslep street belonging to the late Richard Irwin, Deceased was an industrious, hard-working man, and by his prudent and thrifty ways gathered together oousidersble of this world's goods. He was a man who was highly esteemed and respected by his neighbors and friends both in Morris and Blyth. Be- sides his brother, he leaves three sisters —Mrs. James Craig, of Morris; Mrs, John Cameron, of Grey, and Mise Mar- garet McComb, of Blyth. The parents died in Morrie over 80 years ago—the father on October 80th, 1868, and the mother on June 22nd, 1871. Mr. Mc- Comb nor hie brother never married. He was a Presbyterian in religion, being a member of the Blyth Presby- terian church, and in politica he was a Liberal. The funeral took place from his late residence on Monday afternoon and was very largely attended, many old pioneers being present. Interment WKS made in the Uniou cemetery. The servioea at the house end grave were conducted by Rev. A. Mci.eau, Reform Needed for Married Mao. Married m n ,Land decidedly in want of reform. They are incorrigible flirts for one thing, and when there are nice girls about the poor bachelor does not stand a chance. We maintain the para- dox that if there were not to many mar- ried men there would be fewer Niche - lore. Married then seem to know how to make love better titan the untnerried. They have so much practice and ex- perience to go upon. And they always seem anxious for opportunities of dis- playing their skill. They are like the amateur tenor, who is not satisfied with bleating for the worshipping ad- miration of the family circle, but, is always ,yearning to bleat yearningly in other people's family circles. So the married man appears to weary of home pra"tica of the amatory arts, aid to cultivate them at the expense of those who have no homes in which to peso - time them Then the knowledge that he is married, that he cannot be sus- pected of "intentions," gives him a courage, a reckless dash that compare with the trembling timidity of the bachelor much to the disadvantage of the latter. True, the bachelor may re- taliate, or try to, by whispering soft nothings to the married men's wives. But he lacks the audacity, and is by nature too moral. Answers the Chief Justice. In reference to Chief Justice Mere- dith's criticism of asylum methods, and Iris statement that the asylum rather Hour the jail was the proper place for the detention and examination of per - sous charged with being Insane, and a ort e reeetlnent of mental dingle, not a refuge for the aged and infirm. He did not think the chief justiee'e enggeetion possible, for the wimple rea- son that the majority of those sent to the asylums by way of the jail were old people lacking a home, and once in the institution it was impossible to get rld of them Dr, McCallum thinks that the remedy is to be found in rhe establishing of suitably equipped wards in the various county jails t rouehout the province, The c6906 per county are few, and the cost would be small. They should, of course, be separated from the criminal words, end the inmates better fed. 1)r. McCallum considers that in its ad- ministration of the insane asylums the provincial government is doing splendid work, nearly one third of the revenue of Ontario being devoted to the care of the insane. —The Wiartoo e g r beet factory is running eplandidl,y, slicing from 850 to 870 tone of beets every 24 hours. Two thousand barrels of sugar are now in stock, representing between 616,000 and 816,000. —Messrs, G. Carter, Son & Co,'. new cereal mill at St, Marys will be in opera - Gott this ween, The mill will have a capacity of 100 harrels a day, and ie said to be one of the most complete in Ontario. —Mr. Thomas E. Hay has been ap- pointed poet master at Listowel, in suc- cession to the late Mr. Hacking. Mr, Hay is an old county councillor and ex -warden, and his appointment will no doubt give general satiefaction, —A story is going the rounds that a farmer who had asked an extortionate price for his wood had tate tables turned on him by his blacksmith. The trades- man just raised his rate a dollar a shoe. The farmer objected hut was met by the unanewereble logic that as wood had gone up, horse shoes had followed its example. The agriculturalist so the tale rung w, ut to the magistrate, but learned that he had no case. —It might be as well for the country if the old rule described as follows wee now in force:—At one time the mem- bers of the old Upper Canada parlia- ment, who received something like $260 Rs idemnity, were paid in addition $8 per diem for each day parliament sat, but this latter charge, instead of com- ing out of the provincial funds, wee collected from the different constituen- cies, eo that the sessions might he kept as short as possible. A similar arrange- meni if rut into force these days, would curtail a good many six -hour speeches. —The number of committals to the jails of Ontario in the year ending September 80th, 1902, was 8280. This was 208 less than in the previous year, and in only two years since 1878 was the number lees than this year. In 1818 the number was 18,600. The steady decrease in the number of cow mittale, in Reim of the constant mul- tiplication of punishable offenses, ie gratifying. The causes for it are not easily determined, but it seems reason- able to suppose that there has been a general improvement in the habits of the people, with improved education and refinement, —Mrs, John Gowan, who lived on the town line of Blenahard and Fuller- ton townshipe, Perth county, poisoned herself Friday afternoon with anemic, Some time ago her husband sold his farm and purchased another one. This did net please his wife, and she worried to get the old farm beck. Meanwhile the old fano had peered into the hands of her husband's brother, Mr, W. M. Gowan, and after some dickering John bought it back but at a lose of 8800. This lose ceeme, in have preyed on her mind, and she was very unhappy.

There are foods which eau be cooked in lees time than Quaker Oats, but they do not give so much good to the body, even in proportion to the time it takes to prepare them.

Pays there is a growing feeling in thee province that municipal treasuture should be better paid, " What would you think," he said, "of a treasurer getting 55 a year for his work? Township treasurers rarely get as high as 8100, and 551) pr 885 is quite a common remuneration. In towns the scale is higher, but not a great deal." Mr. Laing, in hie report, will strongly recommend Inuuicipalities to "loosen up" a bit on this matter. During the year there have been five deficits among municipal treasurers, and Mr. Laing thinks titin is not many considering that there are 800 treas- arere, —Mr. David Rogers, of !Stilton, nae a breeding sow which rivet the Paris well -digger for staying powers, On December ath Mr. Rogers commenced threshing, and the next day bib sow was missing.
