RUNAIVAY.-A team of horses be- longing to Daniel Coward, of Ushorne, ran away from Bishop & Son's hard- ware on Wednesday, where they were left untied. They were attached to a waggon on which was a quantity of lumber, and were therefore unable to get up speed very rapidly. Turning the corner at the Mansion'House they met two rigs, one driven by Mrs. Mc - Conley, of Elitnville, the other by William Baker, which barely escaped collision ; "and after running a short distance the horses were brought to a standstill by the waggon and lumber upsetting in the ditch. No serious damage resulted. PRESBYTERY OP HURON. --This Pres- bytery met in 'Willis' church, Clinton, on Nov. 9th. A good attendance of members present. Messrs. Anderson and Strang were appointed to andit the Treasurer's books. They reported afterwards the books as correctly kept. Messrs. Acheson and D. D. Wilson were appointed to address the Women's Presbyterial Missionary Society. The congregations, of Bay- field Road and Blake, having withheld a portion of their Presbytery Fund are requested to pay the same. A long diseussion ensued on the report regard- ing Missionary meetings and arrange- ments for the same. It was finally agreed that each congregation be en- joined to hold a Missionary meeting, and the arrangements for the same be left to next session. Mr. Fletcher reported for the committee on the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the completion of the "Confession of Faith," by the \Vestminister Assemb- ly. It was agreed that each minister preach a sermon suitable to the oc- casion, and a Presbyterial meeting be held central in the Presbytery and to be arranged for by the committee. Ret-. Mr. Henderson submitted an ar- rangement for Financial Conferences in the Presbytery. Consideration of this deferred.` Mr. McLean read a cir- cular, re -aged ministers fund. The fund was cordially commended to the liberality of congregations. Mr. Mus- grave pressed his resolution regarding the change to four meetings of Pres- bytery instead of six. The resolution was lost. A circular was read from the Ontario Alliance, re a petition to the Ontario Government for amend- ments to the License Act. The Pres- byters agreed to have the petition signet by the Moderator and forward- ed to the Government. The Presby- tery thereafter adjourned to meet in Knnx church, Goderich, on the third Tuesday of January. Dn.LTii OF EDWARD JONES. The death of Edward Jones occurred on Wednesday morning at six o'clock, in bis residence, Andrew street. Deceased was born in the township of Mareit, Ottawa District, in the year 1833, At the age of 15 years, with his parents and other 'members of the family lie came West to the township of McGillivray, then part of a dense forest, where his father took up a. claim on the town line of McGillivray and Stephen. With stint and hard labor they soon hewed out a comfortable home for the family, and throughout life he was especially fortunate in his undertakings. In the year 1855 de- ceased married Jane Lamport, daugh- ter of Joseph Lamport, of the town- ship of Stephen. Mr. Jones after his marriage lived in McGillivray for a time, then they moved to Fairfield, 'and returned to McGillivray again, where they remained until December 1893, when, after getting their son's nicely settled in life, they retired from farming and with their only daughter carne to Exeter. During his years of agricultural life, Mr. Jones assisted in clearing three one hundred acre farms, and to bis industry and arduous toil, is, in a measure, due the early break- ing down of his constitution. Mr. Jones was a man of sterling qualities, upright in his dealings, and was res- pected by a very large circle of friends. Though regarded as a man of wise counsel, he never sought public office. Some thirty-nine years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Jones joined the Methodist church together, from which date they have been faithful and consistent members, deceased having filled at various times the offices of class leader and Sunday school teacher. Mr. Jones had been ailing for more than a year of a gen- eral decline, and had been -seriously ill and a great sufferer for two weeks, during which time he bore his affli- ction with christian fortitudeandresig- nation. They raised a family of five sons and one daughter : Elias, in Van- couver ; Wesley, in Stephen; Levi and J. J. in Manitoba ; Morley, in Mc- Gillivray ; and Mrs. J. C. Ovens, of Maple Lodge, who, with his widow, have the sympathy of the entire com- munity'in their sad bereavement. The funeral will take place on Saturday afternoon at one o'clock for the Main st. Methodist church, were Rev. W. McDonagh, of Stratford, will preach a funeralsermon, after which the cor- tege will proceed to the Exeter ceme- tery, the place of interment.
