furniture last Saturday afternoon was

ly go to the North-west next week.
Sorry to say, there is not much im-
provement in the health of Mrs. Shur-
* and her daughter on the 5th line
of monis ; accounts say there is little
hope for Mrs. Shurrie, as she appears
to be sinking fast.

person to lead the choir and act as

In a recent Government report of
the Institute for the Blind at Brant-
ford, the picture of Bert. Lott of Brus-
sels, who is a student there, appears
in two groups. One view is a group
in front of the school, and the other
shows a class at head work.
Two very able sermons were preach-
ed in the Presbyterian church, Bvus-
sels, last Sabbath, by Rev. Mr. Stew-
art, who has a charge at Verschoyle,
in the County of Norfolk. We would
think he might get a call to the Mel-
ville pulpit, as it is now vacant.
The members of Western Star
Lodge, L 0. 0. F., Brussels, presented
Jno. Ritchie, a brother 3 -linker of
Ethel, with over $50, as a token of

his loss in the destruction of the hard-
ware store of Kreuter & Ritchie of
Ethel.
Miss Martin, who succeeds Miss Ro-
bertson as language teacher in the
Brussels public school, took charge of
the work Monday last. Miss Martin
comes well recommended. We are
sorry to lose such a talented teacher
as Miss Robertson, hnt her health, in
the meantime, requires rest.
The Brussels Methodist Sabbath
School and the Epworth League en-
joyed very much a visit from Messrs.
Buchanan and Kerr of Wingham last
Sabbath. They are a strong team,
and delighted large audiences at the
Sabbath School and at the evening
service. Such visits are in the right
direction.
Wroxeter,
Albert Mutch is now employed in
the livery stable.
Dr. Brawn visited Toronto for it day
or two last week.
Geo. Spotton is now on a business
visit to the village.
Miss Timex. of Walkerton is itvisitor
at present at the home of R. B. Har-
ris, Reeve.
We regret the very serious illness of
Mrs. Sentt Black, but at time of writ-
ing a slight improvement has been
noticed.
W. S. McKercher, of the Howick
Mutual, was engaged the most of last
week at Goderich as one of the county
auditors.
John Routledge, lately of Orange -
hill, has now taken possession of the
house he purchased from W. H. Eagle-
son, and we welcome him amongst us
as a citizen.
Alexander Smith of Owen Sound is
now spending a short time at the
home of his parents here, prior to his
departure to the Northwest in search
of his fortune; there is no fear but
Sandy will succeed.

son has disposed of his property on
Sanderson street, to Wm. Douglass of
Turnherry, who we will welcome as a
citizen, Mr. Robertson and family
will leave for Boissevain, Man., next
Tuesday.
A number of our villagers attended
the funeral of the late Richard Ross,
J. 15„ of Gorrie, on Saturday last.
The Masonic lodge also attended in a
body, of which order he was a mem-
ber, as well as of the Orangemen and
W orkmen.
A Carnival was held in the skating
rink on Thursday night last ; there
was a large attendance ; most of the
costumers displayed a deal of good
taste, and the judges found serious
difficulty in making their awards,
which however met with general ap-
proval,
Two rinks of our Curlers played a
friendly game last week with the Gor-
rie club ; it resulted in the latter club
winning by 4 shots. One rink of the
Wingham club played a game here on
Wednesday night but our Curlers
seem to have lost their cunning and
allowed themselves to be badly beaten
by the visiting club ; it was not al-
ways thus with the Wroxeter curlers.
Prof. Hawkins gave a musical re-
cital last Tuesday evening in the town
hall, which was well attended. The
talent chiefly employed were the
young ladies whom the Professor has
been instructing for some time, and
they proved themselves every way
very efficient. We are sorry Prof.
Hawkins intends leaving the village.
This will make a good opening for a
permanent music teacher.
The Brussels School Board asked its
chairman, T. Farrow, to ]ay before the
Minister of Education, Dr. Pyne, the
smallness of the grant now given to
public schools, where Continuation
work is done, compared. with the grant
given to High schools. Dr. Pyne's
answer was very favorable. In fact he
said it should be made much greater.
Good for the Minister ; these classes
should receive encouragement.
A suspicious -looking character, ra-
ther well dressed, about 45 years of
age, has been prowling round the
neighborhood for the past two weeks,
entering farm houses and stealing
what he could get. He was captured
the other day by Messrs. Scott and
Long. A magistrate's court sat on
the case, and sent him up to the coun-
ty town for trial, and no doubt he will
be put where he will steal no more for
some time.
A large number from this place and
around left Tuesday morning for the
North-west and Manitoba. The fol-
lowing were ticketed by T. Farrow,
the C. P. R. agent here :—Henry Stew-
art, Saskatoon ; Jos. Rodgers, Hatnio-
ta ; Frank H. McGaven, Winnipeg;
Robt. J. Williamson, Mrs, Williamson,
Eva Cantelon and Cleve. Denbow, all
for Carlyle, Sask. ; Joseph Jameson,
Mrs. Jameson and &isn't Cantelon, all

probably !may go next Tuesday, March
20th. We are sorry to lose so many
good people, but our loss may be their
gain; we hope it will be so.

Morris, was largely attended Iast

cast a gloom over the neighborhood.
The people of Belgrave sympathize
with the bereaved family.
It is very interesting to visit the

Last week Geo. Sperling, of Ceara
brook, met with an accident that
might easily have proven fatal. He
was in the act of drawing a convey-
ance into the barn when a great gust
of wind blow one of the doors but
with such violence that he was
thrown off the gangway, and in his
fall upon a stone heap had several ribs
broken and has since been laid up.
A meeting of Grey Branch Ag.

day afternoon in the Council chamber.
President Speir in the chair, Wm,
Wilkinson and Barrister Sinclair ap-
peared relative to the injury Mrs.
Wilkinson received to one of her
limbs at the Fair last fall by falling
through the floor. $500 had been ask-
ed as damages but Mr. Wilkinson
stated that he was willing to accept
$400. After discussion the Directors
passed a resolution proffering $100
rather than have any law over the
matter, although they denied any
responsibility in the question and
made the offer without prejudice.
The offer was declined, hence the mat-
ter may be decided elsewhere.
On Wednesday evening of last week
a number of Mrs. Robt. McInnes'
friends gathered at her home to spend
a social evening with her and family
before leaving for the West. The
gathering was a complete surprise.
When all had gathered, a short pro-
gram commenced. After the chair-
man's speech, he asked Mrs. McInnes
to come forward and take the chair,
and Miss Lizzie Bryans read the fol-
lowing address. The presentation was
made by Mrs, Geo. Johnston and Mrs.
E. Bryans.
DEAR Nnxonnon. —Knowing that
you are about to leave our communi-

We are pleased to relate that Ralph
Thomson is able to be about again,
after an illness of almost eight months'
duration. He is still very weak, but
no doubt he will soon gain in strength
and health.
Samuel Thomson of Manitoba, who
has been visiting with his brother,
Robt. Thompson, this winter, was one
of the principals in a pleasing cere-
mony which took place at Dungannon
Iast Wednesday, Miss McQuaid of that
village being the other principal.
The aim and object of the aforesaid
ceremony was to unite the aforesaid
principals in the happy and agreeable
bonds of matrimony. The happy cou-
ple left on Friday for their home in
the far west, where Mr. T. is a pros-
perous farmer.
We would like to speak a word for
Mr. Edmunds, the Methodist minister
here. We think that he is honest and
sincere in his endeavors to win souls ;
his sermons are strong and forceful,
and are pregnant with illustrations
and applications drawn from every
day life, which even the most simple
(and some of the youths who frequent
the back seats seem to be very simple)
can readily understand, and although
the writer is not identified tvith Mr.
E.'s church, still he would like to see
a little more attention on the part of
the above-mentioned youths, and a
little more reverence for the place,
and perhaps they might learn soine-
what for their benefit.

tOft
have gathered here to -night to give
you our parting regards of friendship
and esteem. During yonr long resi-
dence in this neighborhood, you, by
your kindness, your helping hand in
every time of need, your assistance in
every cause, your social and religious
example, have made for you many,
very many warm and sincere friends,
and we feel that it would be a grave
neglect on our part to let the present
opportunity pass without giving some
expression to you of the high respect
we have for yon and your family.
We assure you that you are vacating
a place in our affection that can never
he filled. As a slight token of the
friendship ancl esteem with which we
regard you, we humbly ask you to ac-
cept this Gold Watch and this Bronze
Clock, not for their value, but as sou-
venirs to hold ever dear to your heart
in memory of your friends in Grey.
While we regret your removal from
our midst, we assure yon that our
kindest regards and best wishes go
with you and your family to your new
home in the West. We bid you all
an affectionate farewell, trusting that
much peace, joy and prosperity may
attend you all through life, and when
you have answered the Master's call
may none of yon be found wanting.
Farewell. Signed on behalf of your
friends and neighbors.
Mrs. Ed. Bryans
Mrs. Johnston.
Mrs. McInnes made a very suitable
reply and thanked her friends, assur-
ing thein that they would ever be
green in her memory, and should her
future home be happy, she would
never forget the kindness of her Grey
friends and the happy days spent with
thein. The company all joined in
singing "Blest be the tie that binds."
The remainder of the program was
Morris.
Mrs, Jno. Wightman still continues
poorly, we are sorry to hear,
Mn. Ino. YenCamp, 5th line, treated
a few of the young folks to a pleasant
evening tile night last week.
Tho Hislop dredge was moved to
MeKihop this week where it will be
set to work upon a contract taken by

der and is front a Demo mare and
should prove a good one.

deep.
Mrs. Henry 0. Owens left on Wed-
nesday, 71k inst., for her home at
Welwyn, Sask., after a three months'
visit with relatives and friends on the
1st line; she was accompanied by her
sister, Miss Rebecca Mathers, and her
neice, Miss Winnie Mathers.
The baby daughter of David Irwin,
of Morris, while playing at the well
fell into it when her weight broke a
decayed plank. Very strangely in-
deed she did not part with the piece of
plank but wits found by her rescuers
sitting upon the floating fragment
and hugging the log of the pump for
dear life. There were several feet of
water in the well and it seems mir-
aculuous that she was not drowned.
A snit is now pending in the Circuit
Court of Michigan between the Ad-
ministratoe of the late Jesse Wright
and Hassaril Wright, both former re-
sidents of the 4th line of Morris town-
ship, as to the original ownership of
NS of lot 22, con. 5, Morris, now own-
ed by Jno. Shurrie. E. C. Babcock,
of Sandusky, Mich., Attorney for the
Wright estate, was in Brussels on
Wednesday taking the evidence of
Wm. Clark, Township Clerk, John
Shurrie and Nathaniel Flatt in refer-
ence to the suit. The evidence was
taken before Barrister A. B. Macdon-
ald, Brussels, who was appointed Ex-
aminer by the Michigan Circuit Court,
Case will come up for hearing this
spring. Jesse Wright died suddenly
a short time ago. Old residents of
Morris will remember the Wright
family quite distinctly.
The news of the demise of Lottie A.,
the eldest daughter of John and Susan
Watson, 4th line, was received last
Monday with no small regret. It
came as a sad surprise to many. Miss
Watson had not enjoyed rugged
health for the past six months and in
the hope of prolonging her life a medi-
cal operation was performed last Fei-
day in the removal of a large abscess.
She rallied all right but hemorrhage
set in and she passed away about 7
p. m, on Monday, aged 23 years and 4
mouths. Miss Watson was beloved
by a wide circle of friends. Belgrave

The concert held in Victoria Hall on
Thursday evening, March 8th, was all
that could be desired in the line of
"wit and humor," and also in senti-
mental music. The evening was fine
and the hall well and comfortably fill-
ed, Principal Cameron of Brussels
School occupied the chair in a very ac-
ceptable menner, Those assisting in
the program front Brussels were—
Mise Cardiff, sops ono soloist; Miss J.
Buchanan, who gave some fine read-
ings ; Mr. J. L. Kerr, bass soloist ;
Messrs. Jackson and Griffith gave
some excellent selections of instru-
mental music. The male quartette,
Messrs. &radian, Richardson, Hab-
kirk and Cameron sang splendidly
without any accompaniment. A solo
and chorus entitled "My Old School
Chums." was also given ; solo by Mrs.
S. Wilson and Miss Habkirk Messrs.
Richardson and Habkirk joined in the
chorus. Mr. N. J. Robinson of
Wroxeter gave two splendid solos,
entitled "Marching" and "Skippers of
the sea", which was very much ap-
preciated. Last, but by no means
least, came Messrs. A. Gallaher and
0. Black of Wroxeter, who by their
comic singing and reciting certainly
took the cake. Mr. Gallaher acted
the Irishman to perfection, as did also
Mr. Black act the Scotchman and
patent medicine inan. Immediately
after intermission, Mr. Gallaher gave
a shaving tableau which delighted
the audience. A hearty vote of
thanks was moved by Mr. Jno. Cutt
in behalf of the program committee to
all those for so kindly coining and
contributing to the program. The
proceeds amounted to about $21,
which will be devoted to carrying on
the good work of the Hall. Miss Jean
McLaughlin of Brussels and Miss Ina
Bryans acted as accompanists for the
evening.
We the Officers and Members of L.
0. L. No. 402, wish to convey to you
our heartfelt sympathy in this your
dark day of human sorrow. It would
be impossible to express the sympathy
we felt when we learned of the sad
death of your daughter, who was call-
ed away so suddenly. Although we
can but faintly estimate the severity
of your loss, we wish to offer our' con-
dolence. We know that your loss
is her gain. We realize the fact that
when we are called upon to part with
those we love tenderly it is hard to
say "Thy will be done". But we feel
sure clear friends that if you carry
your sorrow to Him, who was the
man of sorrow, yon will he given
strength to say that he who doeth all
things well knoweth best. The clouds
of sorrow may seem dark just now,
but there is a silver lining to every
cloud. We earnestly pray that the
Lord Jesus in his infinite mercy may
give you strength in this your hour of
trial in which we most deeply sym-
pathize with you and we pray that
we may all meet when time hero for
us shall be no more, in that Heavenly
Home that has been prepared for all
that believe in the Lord Jesus.
