Allow me to chronicle in your valuable paper the memoir of one of MoKilloft's fairest daughters who departed thin life in the springtime of her earthly career. She was born in Hibbert in the year 1869 and removed to MoKillop with her parents the eame year—being the daugh- ter of Joseph and Sarah Campbell. Her father died about seventeen years ago and she being the youngest daughter was the comfort and solace of her widowed mother. Her firm belief in her Saviour was constantly her theme during her last illness. The mother, family and friends have the sympathy of the entire neigh. borhood. The following lines are dedi- cated to her memory :— IN annum Or MARTHA P. CAMPBELL, W110 DIED JULY 6T11, ACED 19 TEARS, 8 noNTne AND 14 nATs. Wrap hor in her robe of whiteneee, k' rose her marble cheek so fair Erma her cold and waxen forehead smooths the looks of auburn hair. Martha eleepisg, sweetly Sleeping, Give herfu at one parting kiss Bre from mortal eyes she's banished To a world of joy and bliss. All weeklong the angels waited, Waited while they watched us here, Striving hard to keep our darling, While they welted for her there. Safely then at Taut they bore her, To thatland whore angels dwell, Oh 1 the glorious things she heoreth, Bone but angel tongues eau tell Darling Martha, how we miss her, Mies her footsteps light and free, Miss her bright blue eyes of gladness, And her yoioo so full and free. But we know our darling's happy. Ono among an angel band Oared for by a loving saviour, In that bright and Marlon' land, Me Killen, July 42, '89, A.J.C. Cranbroolr.

Lac nem,—Rev. T. G. Thompe0n's lec- ture on "British Columbia" in llnox Church, on Thursday evening of last week was interesting, eloquent and in. structive. The reverend gentleman dee. orihecl the extent, mineral wealth, timber resources, grain productions, railroads and fisheries in glowing terms. The speaker says when the mines and fisheries are developed the "land of the setting of the sun" is destined to beoene ono of the grandest gems in our groat Dominion. The lecturer's humorous hits on the In. clian inhabitants, Chinese customs, Van. couvor fire and Western oharaetoristies told on the audience every time, Tho lootaro on the whole was brimful of nee. fill information, The receipts netted a good sumtowards the building fund of the church.

The little boys and girls enjoyed themselves nicely, The ladies who turned out on masso and to whose efforts the success of the pio.nio was largely due served delicious refresh- ments in profusion.

The crop is better than it has been for some years and the weather was such as permitted of it being secured in good condition. Fall wheat is comiug on fast and some will likely be cut the end of this week. It is a heavy crop in this section and is filling well. Spring crops are good, barley being something extra. We believe it would be vastly better for themselves if some young fellows on many of our lines would pay more atten- tion to their health and not be galavant. ing on the highways and byways until long after midnight. There is no know- ing the night they may be confronted by old "Olety." CATTLE-Br-LAW.—A. number of the ratepayers of Grey aro evidently unaware that the Council has passed a By-law preventing cattle, sheep and other ani - male from running at large. Any person Boeing cattle on the public highways may drive them to the nearest pound. Many people have a flock of sheep or a herd of cattle feeding upon the Queen's property. This law should be enforoed at once as it was a muoli needed re- form. Tho Vancouver, B. C., Daily News of the 10th inet., says t—"Arrangements for the wrestling matoh between G. B. Perrie (formerly of this township) and Mateada Sorakichithe Jap are being pushed for- ward and the rnatoli will probably take place in about three weeks. The other day Mr. Perrie sent articles of agreement to be signed by the Jap, and without doubt they will be accepted. The Sap claims the title of champion of the world, and has certainly a first-class record and stands among the very beet wrestlers of the continent. He is at present training at Seattle for ltie coming match with Sohumaoher and will therefore be in ex- cellent condition foe his contest with Perrin. Perrie'e record on the Pacific Coast 1e familiar to all in Vancouver who take an interest in sporting matters, and those who have seen him in hie oonteeta and watolied his career are willing and anxious to back him not only against the Jap but against the very beat man that clan bo produced from the Bast or else- where. Ile hos heretofore with singular ease thrown all who have been matobod against him. His bankers have the antis - faction of knowing that when he goes in- to a contest he goes to win, and their confidence in his ability to win when he is in proper condition le unbounded, Tho meeting between Perrin and ilio Jap will therefore bo olio of unusual Interest and of interest not only in British Columbia, but throughout the East as well, T.t is not unlikely that the coming match with the Jap will ,be hold at Hastings, and if not there ab Victoria. 11 will be for 9500 a tide and "blood."
