A PORTLY unmarried gentleman
was walking along the sidewalk one
day last week •whon his feet slipped
forward with his toes inclined up-
ward, and in order to save himself
from the worst results of falling up-
on the broad of his back, which
seemedl imminent, he vigorously
stretched both arms outward and
backward. Unfortunately a young
lady was walking along behind the
gentleman at this supremo moment,
mindful only. of her own steps,
when one of the outstretched arms
of the gentlemen struck her forcibly
on the forehead. The gentleman
preserved his equilibrium by his
iuvoluntary ungallant action,. and
the young lady, though for the
moment stunned was none theworse.
Of course the gentleman was profuse
in his apologies, and made all the
reparation in bis power, and the
other party being. a real lady. was
pacified.

es,'.possible.' The formation of the
Mrs. W. d. I'aiiatr,y at the early ago
of 33 years, is ono of tho most de-
plorable events that has happened
in our town for years. In the very
prime of womanhood, quito.well the
previous day ; with, iu the ordinary
forecasts of human probabilities,
many years of life and happiness
before her ; surrounded by all the
comforts of •
doutestio life, a loving
husband and family of bright chil-
dren—to be parted from all these
and the many social ties incident to
one who has always heli the esteem
of many t'i h n Is, is indeed regrettable
—mournful. The cause of death
was the labors accompanying child-
birth. All that human skill could
do to avert the calamity was done,
but the Groat Arbiter of human
destiny willed it to ho oven thus.
Deceased was daughter of Mr. and
Mrs, James Patton, Goderich town-
ship, and leaves, besides her hus-
band, a family of sic children, the
eldest being about 16 years. To
the immediate family as well as the
parents of deceased we offer all the
sympathy poor 'human words can
convoy under the distressing circum-
stances; and we but echo the heart-
felt regret of the entire community
in doing so.. The funeral took place

very large number of persons from

for, the Local elections) but .the

the same division of wards will be
adhered to as at the last Dominion
