Another highly esteemed resident of Morris passed away on Friday, the 8th inst., in the person of William Casemore, at his home on lot 3, con. 2, in the 82nd year of his age. Mr. Case - more was born in Niagara district, near Brock's monument, and moved to Morris about 39 years ago, therefore he can be claimed as nearly among the first settlers. In 1817 he was mar- ried to Miss Beatrice, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Parker, who were residents of Wingham from 1867 until their death in 1886. Mr. Casemore was noted for his upright dealings, and was always ready to lend a help- ing hand in time of need. He was a good neighbor, a kind husband and a loving father, and pleasant memories will be cherished for time to come. He belonged to the Orange order, and was a Conservative in politics ; in re- ligion, he was a member of the Church of England. He leaves to mourn his loss, a beloved wife, nine sons and two daughters—Jaynes, Joseph, John and Thomas of the township of Morris, William of Howick, Jerry of Culross, George of Kansas, Robert of Wiarton, and Eli at home. The daughters are —Mrs. Thomas Abraham and Mrs. John Hunter of East Wawanosh. The pall -bearers were six of his grandsons. The remains were interred in Wing - ham cemetery on Sunday afternoon. We extend our sympathy to the be- reft family. A Certain Cure For Croup. When a child shows symptoms of croup there is no time to experiment with new remedies, no matter how highly they may be recommended. There is one preparation that can al- ways be depended upon. It has been in use for many years and has never been known to fail, viz.: Chamber- lain's Cough Remedy. Mr. M. F. Compton of Market, Texas, says of it, "I have used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in severe cases of croup with my children, and can truthfully say it always gives prompt relief."

To the Warden and Council of the County of Huron : GPNTLEMEN.--We beg to subunit herewith report of Valuation made by us in Sept., Oct. and Nov. of the pres- ent year. The difference between our valua- tions and the values of the Assessors are in many cases very great and will no doubt cause more or less satisfac- tion, but we have endeavored to give equal justice to all municipalities without respect to North, South, East or West. Valuations made largely from a waggon may be more or less inaccurate, but taking the aggregate for each municipality we think they will stand fair criticism. We dis- tributed the valuations as uniformly as possible over the several muni- cipalities so as to cover a fair propor- tion of all classes of property, good, medium and the poorer class, where such could be found, also taking in a: proportion of the unincorporated vil- lage property in several Townships. We valued a greater number of parcels in each municipality than the law requires. 8% to 10%, instead of 5% to 8%, believing that by so doing a better comparison would be obtain- ed, and all valuations were made be- fore seeing the Assessment Rolls. There can be no clearer proof of the atter uselessness of Assessment Rolls as they at present stand as a guide to equalization, than the fact that the discrepencies run all the way from 5% decrease under to 04% increase over the assessments. A number of As- sessors have tried to comply with the law and assess property at or near its cash value while many others have not done so. It is to be hoped how- ever that in the future all Assessors will endeavor to assess property as the law directs. We beg to suggest that it would be a great unprovement as to compara- tive values, especially in rural nuini- cipalities, if the assessments could be made in the month of October and November instead of in midwinter, when there is two or three feet of snow on the ground. We beg to hand you herewith a de- tailed statement of valuations made in each municipality in the County, also a summary of same, trusting that the report may prove satisfactory to yourself, the. Co. Council, and the public generally. Yours very respectfully, J, Lucian JNo. COx Valuators. W. BAWDEN Municipality. No. ParcelsValued.

The men of eighty-five and ninety years of age are not the rotund well fed, but thin, spare men who live on a slender diet. 13e as careful as he will, however, a man past middle age, will occasionally eat too much or of some article of food not suited to his consti- tution, and will need a dose of Cham- berlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets to cleanse and invigorate his stomach and regulate his liver and bowels. When this is done there is no reason why the average man should not live to old age. For sale by all drug- gists. ` Salem. A number from here took in the tea -meeting in Wroxeter last week.
