Foci KANsie.—This week we re-
ceived a letter from our old friend
John Nott, V. S., from Kansas. He
says the winter has been very severe,
the coldest ever experienced by the
oldeet settler. Thousands of hogs
and cattle have been frozen. On one
road where they were shipping hogs
there were'thirteen car loads frozen
stiff, and where fanners bad large
numbers of hogs they would pile up
on one another to try and keep warm
and in the morning perhaps 80 or 40
would be smothered, This' is abs
way the most of them were lost, Tho
cattle that were in good condition and
had plenty of porn stood the winter
very well but those that were thin• in
flesh and not well fed perished with
the cold, the most of them would be
fouud standing up frozen stiff. Clay

Mxssuntans ,—Last Sunday morn.
ing the annual missionary sermon
was ,preached in the Methodist ohuroh

His very interesting and practical die-

gave the increase." The pastor read
an abstract of the general missionary
report, from whioh the following facts
were taken :—Total 'increase of mem.
bership for the past year, 20,000. In
the French district the work is pro.
grossing very favorably and the same
is true regarding the work en the In-
dian mission and among the Chinese
and Japanese. Total number of Do-

OBITUARY.—It is with feelinge of the
deepen regret that we aro called upon
to record bus death of Alex. Webetor,
which sad event occurred on 'Friday
moruiug at 1:50 o'clock. The Sat-
urday previous he went to his bed not
feeling very. well, and in£amrnation of
'the bowels soon set in.. Although
nothing serious was antiolpsted for
the first few days he gradually grew
worse, despite the attention of his
physician; until he woe released from
all pain and suffering on Friday
morniug. The deceased was born in
Wellesley in the year 18.45, was mar-•
rigid to' Miss Kyte Nugget iu 1876 and
came to Brussels to take obarna of
the flax mill for J. & J. Livingston
about 0 years ago. Owing to his post
tion he soon became widely known iu
and around Brussels and made friends
by the score.. In all hie dealings with
the public there was the best of sat•
ideation given -and we have reason, to
believe that the Brussels mill proved
about as remunerative as any to the
enterprising proprietors owing' to the
care and attention bestowed on it bv'
the manager. Posaeesed of a friend-
ly and off -hand manner he was ex-
cellent company and although, no
doubt, he had things to worry him
the same as others he never seemed
to show the cloudy aide., The declass
ed was connected with Melville church
and was beginning to fill some of the
more important Offusee In Oonneution
with ohuroh work. Whoa ho knew
he could not recover he did net grow
deepondent but talked cheerfully and
hopefully of a home with the redeem-
ed. He took a,greot interest in crick-
et and was one of the best cricketers
in the eleven. The funeral took place
on Saturday and, was under tI'e di -
motion of the A, F. as A. M. Lodge.
The very largo attendance of,friends
and aognainbanoes spoke verloudly
the respeot and esteem with which he
was regarded. A wife and three little
daughters are left to mourn the loss
of a very kind husband and a gond
father. Mrs. Webster may rest as.
enred that she has the sympathy of
everybody in and around Brussels in
'this heavy and unexpected affiiation.
Jas. Webster, brother to the departed,
desires us to express his thanks to.
the many friends for their .unbounded
kindness during the illness of his:
brother.
