TUE AWAIM BADee-NO little interest has been taken here for some months past in a line fence case, which. has been the subject of a contention be- tween two farmers of Stephen town- ship since May last. Isaac Hill and Robtert Sweet are the owners of Ad- joining lots, on the Oth concession, the back portion of the farms being still uncleared and unfenced. Mr. Hill wanted to enclose his portionof the bush and insisted that Ur. Sweet should build half of the line fence. To this the latter objected, as he contend- ed that it was unoccupied and unused by him. Me. Hill then called in three fence -viewers and asked them todeal with the whole line fence in the clear- ed as well as in the uncleared land. The fence viewers did this and made an award sustaining Mr. Hills conten- tion. err. Sweet contended that not only should he be not forced to build a line fence in the bush but that the front fence should not be brought in- to the controversy as there had never been any dispute as to it. Mr. Sweet then appealed through his solicitor, Mr. Staubury, at Exeter, to Judge Doyle, who heard the appeal on Tues- day. His Honor after reviewing the evidence, gave judgement in favor of Mr. Sweet with costs, and set aside the award.

The deceased had reached the remarkable old age of 92 years. Her death was not unexpected as she has been bedfast and in feeble health for some tune. Mrs. Westlake was one of the old 'settlers on the Sauble Line and her death will be greatly regretted by her numerons friends, as the Was a person to known WaS to honor and. ro- spect.

DEATH or Soren Cuoxeore-We re- gret this week to have to record the death of an esteemed resident of this place'in the person of Mr. John Crox- all, Although evidently failing of late his final illness was brief, and on Sat- urday about 8 p.m. he passed away. The deceased was born in Cornwall, Eng„in the year 1820,and about tvven- ty years later wine to Canada, making his home in Whitby township. For sixty-five years he was a consistent member of the Methodist church, very regular in his attendance on all the services, and a faithful worker as a Sunday school teacher, class leader, etc., until failing strength xnade it ne- cessary to leave this work to more vig- orous hands. He was highly &teem- ed by all who knew him, as a kindly Chrstian gentleman, thoughtful of the welfare of others and one who inter- ested himself in everything calculated to advance the 'welfare of the commun- ity. Mr.Oroxall never married and the past twenty years of his life have been spent in the hoine of his brother-in- law, Mr. Nicholas Phippen, where lov- ing friends ministered to him to the end. The body was conveyed to Port Perry, Ont., Monday to be interred, in • farnily burial place in that town. .1Milm•rf • Danger Next Door. Perhaps it's diphtheria, or scarlet fever.

Everybody is interested of course, in what tends to promote longevity. Touching this point let me give yotein substance, that which was told to me, in part, by members of the family: Mrs. Mills never took so much as two bottles of medicine in her life. She made her own pills. She loved tea and sipped it several times a clay, taking one-half a cup of strong tea at each. meal, with cream and sugary but was not a coffee drinker. Liquor has been used as a medicine; has been a moder- ate eater of fruit and vegetable diet; prefers milk to drink instead of water, and is fond of fruit. Never fretted, was always contented, and never ner- vous. It had been her delight to be out-of-doors, and a pleasure for her to work in the garden and in the field.

James Coulter Mills, the eldest son,. and next oldest of all the children, re -- milked: "Mother, has a happy, cheer- ful disposition, and that is the whole. secret of her long life. I never knew anything tO cross her in My life. She has not worn the long. straight fade, nor thought it a sin to joke." . This son resides in St. Thomas.
