important statistics regarding the size
and wealth of our great Northwest
possessions, the rapid growth of pope-
atl ion, the numerous languages spoken
and the necessity of giving them the
Gospel. We should help the foreigner
from reasons both patriotic and christ-
ian. A hearty vote of thanks was
moved by T. H. McCallum, seconded
by E. A. Folitck and unanimously car-
ried. Miss Gidley contributed a solo
which was greatly enjoyed. Mrs. God-
win, the president, occupied the chair
in her usual able manner.

respected of the pioneers, in the per-
son of Mr. John Snell, sr., at the age
of 85 years and 27 days. During the
last two years Mr. Snell bad been seen
about the street very little being con-
fined to the house during the greater
part of that time owing principally to
the increasing infirmities of old age.
The decline has been gradual but
steady, and for the past few weeks he
had been forced to keep his bed alto-
gether. Deceased was a native of Dev-
onshire. England, and came to Cana-
da early in life with his parents, who
took np farming south of what is now
Exeter. A few years after he married
Martha Bissett and together they
made their home on the 2nd concession
of Stephen. On retiring several years
ago he moved to Exeter, where he con-
tinually resided until his death. tie
was very fond of the pastimes of fish-
ing and hunting, and even when past
the allotted span of years he spent
touch time at his favorite sports. Dur-
ing the whole course of his life he was
straightforward and upright in all his
dealings, gaining thereby innumerable
friends, who retain It warm memory in
their heart for "Uncle John" as he was
familiarly called. Mr. Snell was a
Methodist in religion and a Conserva-
tive in politics. He was predeceased
by Mrs. Snell by about forty years.
Deceased is survived by one sister,
Mrs. Gen. Sarrlwell, and one brother,
