Johns, of Tuckerstnith, menti.,n of which was made in a recent issue, is deeming ot more than a passing notice. She was one of the few remaining, if not the last, of the early pioneers. of "The .Httron Tract", who, settling on the farm where she died, more than 60 years ago, has seen the country transformed from an al• most unbroken forest,to a wealthy and prosperous community, filled with elegant homes, and all the conveni- ence of modern conditions, There are few w -omen possessing more sterling worth, and force of character, than she, and withal of a deep piety, and genuine religiohaconviction, We can- not realize how much we are indebted to those sturdy staunch, loyal pioneers,• who, by, their sacrifice, energy and Industry; have given us much of the blessed and comfortable surroundings we enjoy. They made the sacrifices, endured the.bardships. while we enter into the fruit of their labors. Although MrsJohns had reached the unusual ave of 02 years she,retained etained to the last, full pcssession of her mental faeultiee,with mind and reason unimpaired, and manifested none of the mental weak- nesses, often aceompaning extreme old age. She leave.; a long line of descen- dants, many of them occupying res• ponsibis positions in the world. A family of 8 children all of whom but one survive her; 30 grand -children and the fourth generation of 47great•arand• children, snaking 01 living, direct des. rendants. Of her children, two, Mrs H. Andrews. and Mrs John J'ackeon, Clinton Mrs Dunsmore, Tol'onto: Mr Prod Johns, Algoma; Mani, Mich; Amelia and Sidney, living on the old hen -wowed, in Tuckerstnith. Truly, as a sheaf, that is ripe, she has been that "rest, home", has forrath into o. pie of Giod'".

Later on it was shown unmistakably that the State of New 'York had de- clared for the Republican ticket, al- though by'a greatly reduced majority. The returns from Illinois showed a like. condition. The Republican plurality of 1806 was greatly reduced, but it was still far too large to be overtaken On the other hand the returns from In- diana, Michigan, the two Dakotas, Utah and Wyoming, as well as Ne- braska, seemed to indicate strong.Re- publican gains over 1890. Delaware, Maryland and West Virginia gave de- cisive Republican pluralities. REDUCED REPUBLICAN PLURALITIES. The Republican ticket would have a larger electoral vote - than that of four years. ago, but in the larger states of the east and middle West,-• the plural- ities had been greatly reduced. Masea- chussets had fallen from 174,000 to 50,- 000: New York _ from 268,000 to 150,000, and Illinois from 142,000 to 100,000. An Historical Day. The fifth of November is a day of an- niyersaries in British history. On this day, in the year 1605, Guy Fawkes was arrested, and the plot to blow up the house of parliament. with king, lords and commons, fully exposed. The event is still celebrated in England by' dressing up a groteeque'hgure, called a Guy, parading it through the streets, and finally burning it in a bonfire with great noise and rejoicing. The custom,. however, is falling into disuse, respect- able people having withdrawn their countenance on account of the drunk- enness and turbulence which accom- panied it,he' next most notable event which o urred' on this date was the landing of iliiam III., Prince of Orange, at Torbay in the year 1688. The flight of James Il. and the 'Glori- ous Revolntion' which followed are in- cidents familiar to every schoolboy.. Coming down to more recent times, the day is marked by the battle of Inkerman, the moat heroic and stub. bornly contested battle of modern his- tory. Of this battle 'Punch's' chronicle was : Remember, remember, The fifth of November Sebastopol powder and shot, When General Liprandi Bought Tobn, Pat and (dandy, And a jolly good licking he got. Inkei man has been called the soldiers' battle, inasmuch as it, was owing to the °invincible courage of the British infan- try rank and file standing their in a dense fog against the -Russian army advancing to the attack in solid col- umns, that the victory was gained. .111I hietariane now agree that the CriM- ean war wag a wretched blunder, but it proved at the end .of forty years' Peace that the sedate bravery of the British troops, as Lord Macaulay des- cribed it, was the same as when last tested on the field of Waterton. In Canadian history the day !attemptable as thaton which Sir Tohn Macdonald re- signed with his ministry in the year 1872, ire a result of the Pacific scandal.

Peel county, died suddenly of heart failure while at breakfast on Sunday. He was in his 80th year, and had resided in the coun- ty since 1823. Mr Lundy was one of the oldest Orangemen in the county. Samuel Gray, aged 53, who was found in anunconscious condition in the rear of his home in Toronto Thurs- day morning, died in the hospital on Saturday without regaining hie senses. Death resulted from rheumatic poison- ing due to Bright's disease.

The Militia Department has receiv- ed a cablegram from Rt, Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, which indicates that the assistance of the colonial troops now in South Africa, willbe dispensed with at an early date, and that the remain- der of the Candian contingents, horse, including the Stratbconae, foot and artillery will speedily be on their way to borne and rest. When the Canadian contingents left there was a lack of ammunition in the Imperial stores in South Africa, and all that could be spared of various kinds, was shipped from Canada's stores with the boys of the contingents. The cablegram from Mr Chamberlain, teeeiyed this morn- ing, asks for information as to the quantities so sent, and concludes by asking if the Oanedian Government will accept ammuntion shipped frc,m the Imperial stores now at Cape Town, in repayment. the reply, it is need- less to say will be in the affirmative. The fact that the Imperial War Office is in a position to contemplate a reduc- tion of its store of munitions of war, at tde base of operations, is of Itself very strong evidence that practically the war is over, std en indication that the members of Ctanada's contin- gents will probably-rreaefi home in time for Christmas. The Department expects that this enquiry wilt be fol• lowed by an intimation regarding the sailing of the Canadian contingents.

The three sessions of the day all proved profitable to the delegates, who were in attendance to the number of sixty. At the morning session Rev.A. L, Bus- sel,B, D., taught the S. S. lesson for Nov. 4, and practical addresses bearing on S. S. work were delivered by John Millian, A. E.Ailin and Rev. Jasper Wilson. M. A. The afternoon session was devoted to the interests of the EpworthLeague. Rev, Dr. Gifford addressed the dela• 1 gates' and exhorted them, to make greater efforts along the line of mis- sions. He thought the district was' able to support Mr Stone, missionary to the Nitanat Indians on the coast of British Columbia,without aid from the I central board of miesions; that since we have the means and the Nitanat Indians experience the need, our duty is clear, for the Word teaches that when men are hungry the disciple's duty is not done until the men are filled or the supply of bread runs out. Miss Maud King gave an encouraging re- port of the work of the missionary de- partment. Mre Dustow, speaking of the relation of the League to the church, thought the agencies of the church formed one family, and urged the League, as the youngest member, to seek advice and'. direction of the church and pastor, Mrs Dustow called upon the parents to suppot t with their . presence advice and prayer this young- est member of the family, Miss Salk- eld gave an interesting and instructive account of the many lines along which the Junior Leagues are melting organ- ized ef.,rt. Mr Sheppard addressed the convention, speaking of the bright; prospects the Leagne for the dawning century. Rev. Mi' Stone, who is at home on furlough.waspresent through- out the convention, and it was a pleasure to the Leaguers to see him and listen l o his earnest words concern- ing his work, A reeolntion was paeied expressing eympathf with him in his work and pledging the district League to earnest effort to rapport not only the missionary but a teacher. At the evening session, after devot- ional,exerciees conducted by Mr Stone, able eddresees were delivered by Rev M. J, Wilson, B. A., of Iienmiller, end Rev R. Whiting, B.
