The anniversary of the Thames „Road
Presbyterian church was held oa Sun-
day and :Monday last, and was the most
successful ever held in connection with
the church. The weather being fine all
meetings were well attended, and the
receipts all told amounted to upwards
of $200. eThe Sunday sermons were
well attended, while on Monday the
tea was enjoyed by the vast crowd, the
body of the church during the pletform
meeting being inadequate to accomodate
them. The spetkers were Rev. Martin,
Exeter, Rev. Cloupland, Elinaville, and
Rev. Dr. McKay, Missionary from
Formosa :China, each of whom gave
interesting addresses, the latter dolling
with missionary work as acctomplished
by him on the Island. Rev.C. Fletoher
occupied the chair in his usual happy
manner, whilet the ladies, as mtterers
fully sustained their past enviable rep-
utation.
IN MEHORIAM.-One by One the
pioneers of the Township of Usborne in
common with those of other parts of
Canada are being removed by the hand
of death, and the beautiful farms which
the sinew' arms have cleared, the com-
fortable 'homes which their foresight
has provided, and the neighbors in
which they have been conspicuous
figures fore ears, knowt hem no more, for
they have gone to their fathers. It is
orr solemn duty to record itt these lines
the passing away from earth of Jonath-
an Cooper, sr., on the 14th day of b eb-
ruary, 1894,,at the good old age of 76
years, 8 months and 12 days, Deceased
was a native of England, being born in
Yorkshire on the 2nd of June 1817.
Early in life he married Ann Sherwood,
who ,proved es noble and loving help
meet during the greater' part of the
journey but whose feet earlier grew
weary climbing the steps of life, and
passed to her reward on the 30th of
November, 1880. Nine children were
the offspring of this happy union, of
whom three daughters, Mrs. J. Brirria-
combo of Elimville, Mrs. S. Hunter of
Tuckersmith, Mrs. H. Taylor, of Mon-
tana ; and two sons, Robert, of the
Townahip of Biddulph, and Jonathan
who resides on the old homestead, sur-
vive, to mouin a loving father, besides
a large circle of grandchildren and ether
relatives will MiSS a friend indeed.
While yet a young man Mr. Cooper and
his wife emigrated to Canada, settling
first in the Township of Otonabee, but
soon after -removed to Utsborne, aad
during the past 45:years had been one
of its most industrious and respected
citizens.' Of him it can truly be said he
had many friends and no enemies his
quiet unassuming christian life being
such as to -win friends and endear him to
all. In politics he was a Conservative,
in religion a Methodist, in life consist-
eht, conscientious and honest, as a
neighbor highly respected and a father
beloved. • As he lived so he died, an
e xemplare chriatian whose hope of a
glorious immortality was ever bright.
A life thus lived and ended cannot fail to
impress itself for good upon those who
had the pleasure of his acquaintance.
The funeral took place on the 16th and
was largely attended, the remains being
interred at Elimville. Rev. T. B.
Coupland condnoted the services and
improved the ocsoresiont by preaching a
sermon from St. John, 14, 2 ; In my
Father's house aro many mansions,
itc." The relatives and friende have
the sympathy of the neighborhood in
their bereavement. n

The resistants of Chntontand vieinity
were startled last Friday morning on
teeming ot the sudden death of Mr.
Samuel Cooper. For some time his
home had been 10 Brucefield. Oa
Thursday afternoon he borrowed a gun
from his old neighbor, Me. Alex. Ross,
stating that ho intended shooting
coons or squirrels. Ha proceeded to
the bush but never returned alive.
Last Thuraday night or early Friday
morning a search party was formed
and the,decteased was found dead, the
body leaning against a tree. A squirrel
he had shot wars also found near the
dead man. Medical aid was at once
summoned. The hat and a portion of
the top of the head were found some
feetitrom the body. The case was
onetot accidental shootiag or suicide.
His, age was 44 years and several
months. A loving wife and five bright
children are left. The remains were
interred in Turner's cemetery on
Saturday. No good reason ia advanoect
why the, case should be opts of suicide,
The accident theory acorns to be the
most probable cause of the sad death.
