There passed peacefully away at noon on Wednesday, April 7th, atter a short illness, one of the old residents and a pioneer of East Wawanosh, in the person of David Scott, sr., J.P., at the ripe old age of 78 years and 25 days, Deceased was born in the Scotch Block of Esquesing Tp., Halton Co., and was the t.hirdin a family of seven, being a son of Peter and Annie Scott, who were pioneers of that county. At an early age he started out for himself, first as an agricultural labor- er, and shortly after as a carpenter and framer, being very successful at the latter trade. Having lots of energy and ambition, he came west to the Queen's bush in 1851, and took up the lot on which he lived, also that now occupied by his son, Peter W. Scott, one of the Tp. Councillors. In 1805 he was married to a Scotch lassie of that famous Scotch Block, Miss Elisabeth Elliot. They at once settled an lot 35, con. 7, and have resided there continuously ever since. In the early days of the Township's history be was honored by the rate- payers with a seat at the Council table, being Councillor and Reeve for several years. When S. S. No. 13, E. W., was formed, he was elected a trustee, and for 40 years occupied that office, being all the time Secy-Treas. of the Board. . In politics Mr. Scott was an inde- pendent Conservative, generally hav- ing supported the candidates of that party, but not invariably. as on sever- al occasions he supported Liberal or In- dependent candidates. He had been a member of Knox Church, Belgrave, since its formation as a congregation, and was one of those who by bees, pre pared the timber for the old church. His death is the first break in the family circle. He is survived by hie axed widow and four sons : Peter W., Wm. E:, David S.. and .Cyrus W,; three daughters : Mrs. Win. M. Scott, Mrs. John E. Fells and Isabella E. The funeral took place on Saturday, 10th inst., and was largely attended, interment being made in Brandon cem- etery. The pall bearers were his four sons and two sons-in-law. The services were conducted by Rev. Mr. ,Ferguson, -assisted by Revs. Rivers and Hartley and Mr. W. J. Taylor.. Pia:aor To His Asll;ra Child Drowned.

He was a bright boy, nearly 3 years of age''and along -with his par- ents, spent the winter in Wingham, returning west a few weeks ago. More About Hens. The record of Mr. Jeff. Musgrove's hens, given in last week's issue has brought out another not so large, but a very close second for the three Months, January, February and March. Mr. Musgrove's 80 hens laid 2,253 egg', or an average of 5710/13 eggs to each ben. Mr. J. Bradwin of town has eleven bens that in the same three months laid 620 eggs, or an aver- age of 50 10/11 eggs each. This is a close second, but leaves Mr, Mus - grove's the winners by a fraeticn of one Ogg, or to be exact, 12.3/143 of one egg. TRUNKS AND VALISES.•—Big stock to select front at lowest prices. W. J.

Patterson's jewellry store. Volumes of smoke were found issuing, and noth- ing but prompt and efficient action of the firemen prevented a disastrous conflagration, for the wind was blow- ing a hurricane. Fortunately the fire was gotten under control, but not un- til Mr. Patterson's stock and hand- some fixtures were destroyed w with hi smoke and a deluge of water.The furniture of the shop was of the best, but the fine show cases and large sirs rors were smashed and the stock brok- en and destroyed. Tho household goods were also damaged. The fire seerns to have been caused from the chimney, which it, seems had been on fire the day previous. The smoulder- ing soot so heated the chimney during the night that the show case next to it caught on fire. The loss on the build- ing was adjusted at about $142,, but Mr. Patterson places his loss on the stock and shop furniture at nearly $2000, of which he will probably re- ceive about one fourth from insurance. It is only a few weeks since Mr. Pat- terson suffered from fire in an adjoin- ing shop. As soon as repairs are made, the store will he opened for business. See advertisement in this issue. Last Half Of April. A reactionary storm period is cen- tral on the 18th, 19th and 20th, em- bracing moon in perigee and on the celestial equator on the 18th and new moon on the 19:h. This period pro- mises to be practically a prolongation of the preceding period, caused. by the rpntinued influences of Mercury, Earth, Venus and Maas. The distur- bances of this period will be clrarac- -terized mainly by the same kind of phenomena. On and touching the 18th and 10ah sudden high tempera- ture, with very threatening barometer and thunder, rain and hail are most probable. Tornadoes are not impro- bable in many sections central and southward. A. period of five days, taking moon on the 19th as the center, is a time of great earthquake pro- bability. A casual watch of the world's telegraphic reports will con- firm the truth of this. Frosts, and much cooler will follow this period. A regular storm period is central on the 25th, coveting the 23rd to 23tb, having moon at greatest declination north on the 24th, and at first quarter on the 27th. Another marked fall of the barometer will set in to the West at the entrance of this period, follow- ed close by cloudiness, higher temper - attire and rain. Storm arena will grow wider and gain intensity as they teacb central parts of their eastward march, From about the 25th to 2.8th storms will cultnina"te frorq the Missis- sippi' valley eastward to the Atlantic. [1it'h bavongeter, west winds, and pos- sible snow squalls to the northward need not he a, surprise. Math cooler weat rr withfrestwr I bequite natur- al ur- al during the last four or five nights of the month. Whatever peculiar in- tensity the Afars peiloll may fasten upon the general phenetnena in March and April it will subside, in a great measure, by the end of April, leaving, it is hoped a more placid possibility for the month of May.

Thursday of last week the second annual Temperance Convention for Huron Oo, convened in the Presbyter- Ian Church, Blyth, Three sessions were held full of interest to those in attendance. After reports from the officers as to the work done during the year was dealt with, the morning session was devoted to reports from the several municipalities, most of which were very encouraging. Rev. S. L Toll, of Hensall, gave an excellent address on Local Option, quoting mostly from his home town. showing that Local Option was a de- cided success in Rensaall.

M. Eliott, of Goderich, spoke on the campaign in that town and also led a Conference on Local Option or- ganization, Two strong addresses were delivered in the evening, the first by Rev. D. T. McKerroll, of Lucknow, who strongly urged the Churches to do more for Temperance and Local Option than they had done, as Ise was convinced that it is the Church's duty to wage war continually, until the country is free from the legalized liquor traffic. Mr, Joseph Gibson, of Ingersoll, closed the Convention with aninspir- ing address. A resolution was adopted urging the Government to repeal the the three- fifths clause, and also one criticizing the Local Government for the manner in which the License Inspector and Commissioners had been appointed in Centre Huron. A letter of thanks was ordered to be sent to W.
