M. Brillinger, of Brant, was found dead in the field beside his team near Walkerton last Saturday. His father noticing the horses standing for some time went over to find his son, and found him lifeless. He had always been vigorous and strong and his death was probably the result of heart failure. He was a brother of M. Brillinger, who left Toronto last fall for the mission field of central China, con ducted by Canadian Methodism. VETERAN POSTMASTER DEAD.

Paulin's horse " Merry England" broke one of its hind feet below the ankle last Friday while coming home from Bluevale. The accident occured in front of Wm. Gallaghers farm. Mr. Paulin got the farrier from Wingham, to put an iron shoe on and no doubt but that he will be all right in a few months. Mr. Paulin is getting another horse by the name of "Slaughter " to take the place of "Merry England" until his leg is in good shape again. The C.P.R. has five boats now on the upper lake service between Owen Sound and Fort William. The "Alberta," "Keewatin," "Athabasca," "Manitoba" and "Assiniboia," leave Owen Sound every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturdays. The Steamship Express will leave Toronto and Owen Sound on boat days, and will carry a parlor car in both directions. The "Assiniboia" and "Keewatin" are the latest additions to the fleet. NO CHEAP EGGS. There will be no cheap eggs in Canada this year, The present prices of 17 and 18 cents a dozen in the county are the highest on record. These prices are two cents higber than the prices at this time last year. Seven years ago any amount of eggs could be bought at 10 cents a dozen. At that time nearly all Canadian eggs were sent to England. Now there is hardly an egg goes to England from this district. The production is hardly enough to supply the home demand notwith- standing that nearly every farmer is keeping more chickens then be did then. The demand from the western markets this year will surpass all records, and we have already sent several million eggs there. Prices may come down a very little in the summer but there will be no cheap eggs at all. Canada is now the consumer of all the eggs produced in this country, and in consequeuce is more in- dependent in establishing the prices. meat —� ngwi•v Ii Ot TIm-a fe •n ;W14i s . .... �e-n. reser,- Mr. John Knox, of Howick, died. He was born in Berwickshire, Scotland, in the years 1829. When quite a young man he came to Canada. For some years he resided at Ayr, where he followed the trade of a miller. While there he was married to Christens Cowan, who predeceased him scene three years ago. He settled on the farm on which he died about the year 1868. By industry and eare lie acquised two good farms, this leaving his family in very comfortable circumstances. Three sons, William James and Adam, and one daughter Maggie are left to mourn a very affectionate and indulgent father. His only near relative in this country, his brother Adam, died twenty years ago. Tile deceased was a most consistent member of the Presbyterian Church, Wroxeter. He was characterized by honesty and uprightness in all his busi- ness transactions. His home was ever open to his many friends who cannot forget his unstinted hospitality. The funeral which took place on Sunday after- noon to Wroxeter cemetery, was very largely attended. Rev. L. Perrin con- ducted the serviees. The following is taken from the Toron- to Saturday Night and refers to the Missrs. Effie and Edna Carr, daughters of B. F. Carr, of Town: "The piano recital of the pupils of Emeline E. Miller attracted a fashionable audience to the Margaret Eaton School of Expression on Saturday evening, 19th inst. Those taking part were: Master Archie Bryce, Lawrence Wallace, Mise Edna Carr, Miss Fffie Carr, Miss Elsie Worthington, Miss Edith Gash, Miss Leah McCarthy, Mr. Mark, Miss Lillian Fogler. In tone production and intelli- gent and artistic interpretation, the pupils from the primary to the advanced grades showed evidence of valuable instruction and careful study reflecting great credit upon their teacher."

A host of friends in Fergus and Elora will learn with regret of the death of Wm. J. Hayden, aged 30 years 8 months and 4 days, The sad event took place at the home of his father, Mr. H. Hayden, Fergus, on Friday night, June 18th, 1909, about ten o'clock. The deceased, who was the sixth son of Mr. and Mrs. Hay- den, was born in the township of Wallace. He had lived in Fergus for about nine years, and being a good hearted fellow he made many friends. His health had not been good, however, for the past fourteen years, and during the past three or four years he had been a great sufferer, owing to a trouble which settled in one o his legs, This necessitated operations a various times, and a part of the bone nea the thigh was removed. This gave relie for a time, but the trouble came back and daring the past winter another oper ation was neeessary, since which he has gradually declined, until death released him from his sufferings as stated above. The funeral took place from the family residence in Fergus on Monday afternoon, the services being conducted by the Rev, J, M. Wright, assisted by the Rev. M. Swann, both of whom bore testimony to the fortitude and resignation with which deceased had borne his sufferings, as well as to the evidences he gave that he was prepared and even longed for the great change that he and his friends both knew was not far off, and death when it came had no terrors but came rather as a release from suffering and a passing to the better country where there is no more pain. Besides his parents, deceased leaves to mourn his loss four brothers: Clark of Fergus; Oliver of Wingham; Nelson of Brussels; and William in the West. He leaves also two sisters, Mrs. B. Price, of Toronto, and Mrs. Wm. C. Mills Fergus. Among those present at the funeral from a distance, in addition to the brothers and sisters, were : Mrs. O. V. Hayden, Wingham, Mies M. Clark, Walkerton; Messrs. Edward Pike, and son William, of Gorrie; Wm. Hayden; Lis- towel; Nelson Hayden, son and daughter, Brussels; Howard Bolt (a boyhood chum) Wroxeter; Mr. and Mre. Win.
