Married.
On Wednesday evening in Windsor,
Rev. Dr, Gandy, assisted by Rev. A.
Brown, performed the interesting cere.
mony that united in the bonds of mat-
rimony, Jas. H. Gundy (son of Dr.
Gundy) to Miss Clark, daughter of
.Mr, John Olar•k of Windsor. The
groom was assisted by his brother, J.
F, Gundy of Detroit, and the bride by
her niece, Miss Clark. Miss Lavelle
performed the duties of maid of honor,
and Miss Kathleen Gundy of Chatham
those of ringbearer. After congratu-
lations and a tasty wedding luncheon,
the happy couple left on their wedding
tour. Their many friends wish them
much happiness. Mrs. Gundy and
family of Wingham attended the
happy event.
Band Concert.
The Band Concert on Friday even-
ing was a complete success. The pro-
gram was varied and entertaining,
and all who took part did well. The
Band's Uniform fund was increased by
$46.65. The next appeal by the Band
for a rally will be to their concert on
Tuesday, May 3rd, when the Oratorio.
"Belshazzar's Feast" will be rendered
by a large chorus of the best vocalists
in town. Posters issued give full par-
ticulars. This should receive the en-
dorsement of our citizens, not only on
account of the Band, but because of
the merits of the Oratorio itself, and
the fact that it will be given by local
vocalists. Let there be a full house
on Tuesday evening, May 3rd. The
Uniform fund now amounts to nearly
$170, and the citizens will soon have
the pleasure of seeing their Band in
befltting uniforms.
Passed Away.
Word was received on Thursday last
of the death of a former citizen of
Wingham, Mr, Caleb Griffin, father of
Mr. C. N. Griffin of town, Deceased
was in his Stith year, and for the past
year had been residing with bis neice,
Mrs. Whitely of Elora. The summons
came to him very suddenly. He had
been suffering from a cold but nothing
serious was looked for, when on Wed-
nesday evening as he was walking out
to the stable, he fell and in a few mo-
ments had expired. Deceased was one
of Wingham's earliest settlers, having
come here in 1863. He leaves one son,
C. N. Griffin of town, and four daugh-
ters, Mrs. J. H. Hiscocks of London,
Mrs, Macdonald of Toronto, Mrs. Hen-
derson of Montreal, and an unmarried
daughter in Brandon. Interment took
place in Wingham cemetery on Fri-
day. J. H. Hiscocks of London, Mrs.
Wbitely of Elora, and Wm, Griffin,
keeper of Wellington county House of
Refuge, were present at the funeral.

The editor of the Advance left on
Tuesday to visit his second eldest son

The General Conference of the M. E.
Church meets in Los Angeles on May

at the Grand Canyon of Arizona, from
Saturday afternoon until Monday
morning, and also stops at Albuquer-
que, Redlands and Riverside, arriving
In Los Angeles Tuesday, May 3rd.
As ye editor was formerly a member
of the North West Iowa Conference,
he will no doubt meet many friends of
bye -gone days. Before returning, he
will spend a few days with his eldest
son at Plymouth, Wisconsin. He has
promised weekly letters to the Ad-
vance containing Notes of Travel,
which will prove interesting reading.
The Advance staff' wish him a pleasant
trip and safe return. In the mean-
time, the junior editor is in charge and
will do hie best to keep the Advance
fully alive until the senior's return,
Fatal Accident.
One of the most startling and sad-
dening accidents that has occurred in
these parts for years was that which
on the afternoon of the 19th inst„ re-
sulted in the death of Frederick A.
Pettipiece, eldest son of Wm. Petti-
piece, building contractor. The un-
fortunate young rpan was engaged
with Wm. McDonald of Kinloss in
cutting wood on the farm of Mr. Torn,
McPherson of the $th con, of Culross
when the fatal accident occurred. It
appears that a tree on which the men
were at work had lodged in a tree
near.by and that the men had proceed-
ed in the usual way to cut blocks off
the butt of the hanging tree in order
to release it. Having cut off fivo
blocks they were at work on the Oth
when the tree started to move as
though about to fall. The men pulled
the saw from the cut and started to
run, both holding on to the saw. The
tree fell back from its position direct-
ly upon the men. Both were thrown
to the ground --McDonald unhurt, and
Pettipiece instantly dead, he Having
been caught over the head by a limb
which crushed the skull in such a
manner as to leave no room for doubt
that death was instant and painless,
Deceased was 21 years of age,—(Tees-

Business Change.
W. H, Green has purchased from
Beatty Bros„ their coal business, in-
cluding the warehouses at the G. T. R.
and C. P. R. stations, team of horses,
drays, waggons and general outfit;
.also their prairie property on which is
an extensive gravel pit, and the corner
lot on Victoria street (opposite the
Union furniture factory) which Mr.
Green intends using for a wood yard.
Beattie Bros. will still retain their
livery, 'bus and freight business, etc.
The good will of the above property
goes with the sale, and Beatty Bros.
recommend their numerous customers
in the coal and gravel business to here-
after extend their patronage to Mr.
Green.
Fire In Fordwich.
The village of Fordwich has had a
visit from the fire fiend, A little be-
fore seven o'clock last Friday morn-
ing fire was seen between the kitchen
and main part of the Albion hotel,
which spread very rapidly, and in a
short time the whole building; was in
flames, How it started no one can
tell, but the whole place was soon a
mass of ruins ; nothing could be done
to save it. The property was owned
by Mr, Alex, Orr of the Hotel Bruns-
wick, Wingham, whose loss will
amount to between $2,000 and $3,000 ;
insured for $1,400 in the Gore Mutual.
The loss to the tenant, Henry Rapp, is
covered by insurance. The barn and
stables in connection with the house
were saved, they being on the opposite
side of the street. Mr. Orr was there
on Friday soon after the fire, and has
decided to rebuild so soon as the in-
surance is settled.
Anniversary.
Last Sunday was Epworth League
day in Wingham Methodist churcb.
Rev. R. Hobbs, according to invita-
tion, preached the anniversary ser-
mons. His practical sermons delight-
ed the congregations and showed that
the former pastor has lost none of his
vigor and earnestness, Rev. Dr.
Gundy took Mr. Hebbs' work in
Strathroy, and thus had the oppor-
tunity of meeting his many friends
there. On Monday evening. under
the auspices of the League, Mr. Hobbs
delivered his lecture on "The Manly
Man." It was able, interesting and
comprehensive, and to our mind the
speaker's best effort in that direction.
There was a good attendance, and the
receipts were about $40. The Pre-
sident of the League, W. T. Hall, oc-
cupied the chair. Miss Reid and
Frank Hill rendered suitable solos as
an opening to the evening's entertain-
ment.
Sudden Death.
We have this week to record the
sudden death of an old resident of this
vicinity in the person of Mrs. L. .La-
mont at Ripley, at the age of 70 years.
•On Tuesday of last week she received
a paralytic stroke, froth the effects of
which she died on Saturday. The re-
mains were brought to Wingham on
Tuesday of this week and interred in
the Wingham cemetery. Mrs. La-
mont was born in Prince Edward Is-
land, and was one of the early settlers
of this neighborhood, having resided
for a number of years on the farm
now • occupied by Wm. Deyell near
Zetland, removing to Ripley some 25
years ago, where she has lived ever
since. In religion deceased was a
Presbyterian, and took a great in-
terest in the work and welfare of the
church in that village, and was highly
respected by the whole community.
She leaves a family of six daughters
and three sons, namely : Ars. A. L.
Hamilton and Mrs. J. Taylor of Wing -
ham, Mrs. Taggart of Michigan, Mrs.
McNamara of Tansley, Ont„ Lizzie of
Winnipeg and Sadie at home ; the
sons are Malcolm of Wingham, Dr.
J. G. and Angus, both of the United
States. Much sympathy is felt by
their numerous friends, both hero and
at Ripley, for the bereaved family in
their sad and sudden affliction.
Birds And Insects.
The Walkerton Telescope says :—
Mr. A. E. Sherrington, of Walkerton
Experimental Station, is one man who
has no use for the robin. They eat his
cherries, and for this reason he has de-
clared war on the robin. Wo under-
stand that is the position taken by
fruit then all over the country. Over
against this position comes a pamphlet
put into circulation. by the Walkerton
branch of the Humane Society, in
which it is pointed out that birds are
the farmers' best friends, and that to
kill them is a mistake, as a matter of
polity, Of the robin it says : "The
robin is found to eat but little cultiva-
ted fruit, less than five per cent,
Nearly half of his food consists of
wasps, ants, spiders, grasshoppers,
caterpillars, &c, The March fly larvae
which injures the gratis in the hay
fields are also destroyed by him,"
Which of these opinions is the correet
one we are not prepared to say, but
this we do know that while birds are
rapidly disappearing, insects are rapid•
ly increasing. Tho time was when
farmers never thought of buying poi-
son to kill insects, but now this poison-
ing business has become an important
part of the farmer's calling, Probab-
1y if the farmer were to take into eon-
aideratton the cost of the poison and
the time spent, in applying it, he
would conclude that it would be loss
expensive to let the birds do the in-
sect killing, even if they were to eat a
lltte of his grain and fruit. of three.

A fund of $1500 is being raised to pro-
vide perpetual care for the graves of the

The Philadelphia Times has heard of
a clergyman whose duty it was to in-
troduce to an audience a missionary
from Ceylon, and did as follows: "This
faithful missionary of the cross comes
from Ceylon, a land where, as you all
know, 'every prospect pleases and only
man is vile.' " -
Work on country charges now has
much less of toil in it, than it had years
ago. Rev. F. Swann of Bluevale recalls
the fact that in the earlier days his
father had nineteen appointments on
his circuit, which embraced seven town-
ships, and in the whole route there were
only six miles of built roads.
Whoever 'speaks of an "ungovernable
temper" speaks wrongly. There are
ungoverned tempers, but no ungovern-
able ones. Whoever does not govern his
temper fails not because it can't bo
done, but because he will not do it.
Christ came to govern tempers, and to
help men to do so. Failure is the fault
of our own weakness or of our want of
faith in Christ.—Selected.
A movement is on foot in Kingston at

mand the same recognition as is given to
