Among those who left for the west last Monday, were Messrs. John Simp- son, Will, Brydon, Andrew Mann, and Ab. Willis. There are others who intend going in a couple of weeks. Miss Nellie Miller who has been so seriously ill with typhoid pneu- monia is reported to be somewhat better at present, though not by any means out of danger. Miss King of Wingham is attending her. One of our young men in the person of Mr. Alex. Scott was quietly marri- ed last Friday evening to Mies Nettie Smith of Wroxeter at the Presby- terian manse in that place.

Dear Sir, --Those who have, with deep interest, watched the temperance reform, and sincerely hoped real ser- vice from Mr. Ross, must feel sorely disappointed, for see, in 1893 when Mr. Marter brought in his temperance bill it was sidetracked by Mr. Ross' mo- tion for a plebiscite.

The afternoon train from the east arrives here about 4.15 instead of 1.15 p.m. This train brings the mail, con- sequently it is the more important that ft should arrive in time or some- what near it. Itis not often people have an op- portunity of perusing an account of their own demise but this was the case during the past week in reference to Mrs. Charles Ritchie, John street. Brussels. It was reported from Wal- ton to the Hnron Expositor that she had died suddenly. We are pleased to say that she is the liveliest corpse we ever saw and while not as vigorous as her many friends would like to see, she is able to attend to many house- hold duties and take au occasional trip down town. A meeting of the Council was held on Monday evening last to consider what steps should be taken in regard to the woolen mill property, and a re- solution was passed, instructing the corporation solicitor to foreclose the mortgage held by the town. We hope that other arrangement will be made so that this industry will re- main idle no longer. It would be a pity to lose another of our manufac- tories, they are the means of building up a town and thus give employment to the workmen. Wm. R.

Owing to state of,roads during the winter and the high, price which ob- tained, very little wood was brought into the village. Coal will be used much more generally hereafter, and Mr. Wni. Gibson has received num- erous orders at $,(j,50 per ton. • Word was received here that Mrs, E. Thomas died of pneumonia, on Tuesday night, 6th inst., aged 02 years, 6 months and 10 days at the home of her son, Sylvester Harris, in Port Huron, Mich. The old lady lived . here many years, and recently proved to Port Huron. Reports were wild re the extent of so called cases of small -pox. There is but one case in the village, and a few cases among children in a family a mile east of the village, but the latter was certainly very mild, and the af- fected ones have since been out in the bush and doing their work as usual. With the precautions, the Board of Health are using, no further trouble is expected. i Blyth. Morris ratepayers carried the C. P. R. by-law by a handsome majority.
