The usual by-law for levying 5 the rates was rend and passed. The sum of $5W is required this year from Hullett for county purposes more than last year, so that the rate will need to be two tenths of a mill higher, and the township rate will necessarily be a little higher on account of building two new bridges. The school taxes will be $4,300, or nearly the same as last year.

BINGHAM.-One by one the pioneers are passing away and soon all of those who cattle here when the hind wits covet ed withthepr;. nieval forest and was the home of the Indians and the wild animals will live only in memory. The late Wm. H. Bingha in, of the 7th con., whose death took place on Monday, loth inst., was one of those sturdy ones who came here and hewed out for himself, amid dangers and privations, a home in the heart of the forest. The deceased was born in Ireland in 1817, and came to Canada when two years old. He lived at Edwardsburg, near Prescott, until 1847. He then carne to the famous " Huron Tract" and settled on the farm now owned by Mr. Henry McBrien, +urd shortly afterwards built the first grist mill at Loudesboro. After re- umining about five years he returned East, but came back in the following year and successively owned and sold the farms now owned by Mrs. W. Teh- butt of the Maitland con., Goderich township, and Wni.'Wallace, 7th con. of Hullett. He then went to Michigan for it year and on his return purchased the farm on which fie has since lived for the greater part of the titre. Al- though his children repeatedly pressed him to come and live with them he persistently refused, but constantly snide them short visits in turn. His wife died in 1870, and lie has done con- siderable travelling since, having been twice to Dakota, once to Kansas and to various parts of Ontario. Only nine days before his decease lie returned from a pleasant visit to his daughter, Mrs. Manning of Woodstock. He was in the best of spirits and apparent good health to the very last. He died of heart failure. He was a Conservative in politics and amemberof the Presby- terian church. His word was as good as his bond. He was a good neighbor, an affectionate father, and was univer- sally respected. His home in the early days was always open to the tired traveller. He had ten children, two sons and eight daughters, seven sur- viving him. They are as follows: William, who died shortly after mov- Ing here ; Mrs. Mary Wallace, on ad- joining faun; Mrs, George Christopher of Walton ; Mr. Nelson Birigh,ani, now in thea Wes! ; Mrs. George Glasgow and Aliss Jennie Bingham of Cavalier, Da- kota ; Miss Adeline, who died about eight years aDo ; Mrs. Josiah Mcklveen of Drayton, akota ; Mrs. Manning cif Woodstock, and Mrs. Moe, who died about fourears ago. He has two brothers, Nelson in N. Dakota and Thomas in Kansas. We extend our sympathy to the bereaved ones in the breaking of one more link which bound theni to earth and point them to the blessed fact that it is now one more link which will draw them in love to the Better Land where parting is no more. The frinerat took place on Thursday, 19th inst., and was largely attended. Mrs. Wallace and Mrs. N. Bingham hereby extend their thanks to the neighbors for their many acts of kindness during this time of bereave- ment and trial. Holmesville.
