lively disposition and kindness of heart,
secured for her the esteem and affectiou.
of her friends, and the ,sineeteet love of
those more closely allied to her. There
are none who enjoyed her acquaintance,
,Itut, will feel deep sorrow, that one eo
- gifted and yet so young has been. cut
down in the heyday of .her happiness,
and removed from life .at a time when
life'sloys seem most sweet; but "His waya;
are not as our ways, nor His thouethts
as our thoughts." . The sympathies of.
. all will be extended, to the bereaved
husband, whose joy and rejoicing has
.been so speedily turd into sadn:ess and
mourning.

upheld the oipposite side. •The audience
by vdte decided that Messrs. Lumsden

evening, will be in Cardno's Hall, when
a first-class entertainment may be ei-

ed on the ice here, between two rinks
of the Seaforth club and two of the

for the home team of three shots. In

ANNIVERSARY SERVICES.—The Auni-
versary services of the Presbyterian
Church at Winthrop, were held on Sun-
day, Monday, and Tuesday of this
week, and passed off with entire suc-
cess. The Rev. S. S. Lochead, of Lon-
desboro, as announced, preached elo-
quent discourses, on Sabbath moraine,
and evening, to crowded congregations,
at the close of which liberal collections
were made. On the occasion of the
festival the following evening, addresses
were delivered by the Revds. Loehead,
Thomson and McNaughton, and Elder
Kerr, who belongs to the associate eon-
gregation,the Pastor, the Rev. P. Mus-
grave occupying the chair. The absence
of brethren belonging to another de-
nomination, who were fully relied upon
although felt as a disappointinent, was
largely counterbalanced by the very
excellent character of the tiddresees de-
livered, and by no means omitting the
decided claims of the music furnished
through the courtesy of the choir of a
neighboriug cengregation, under the
leadership of James Grieve, Esq. On
Tuesday evening, the children accom-
panied- by the the teachers and. parents
1 were in conside able numbers cenvened,
who at a very' w -charge were. supplied
with an excelle b repast of which am-
ple justice -was done. The pastor was
assisted by Bevds. Thomsen and Pritc-
hard, and Elder, Kerr, in addresses
whicla were, very 'suttable mid highly
appreciated. This brought to a
close a most satisfactory series of
meetings, which will live long in the
memories of those privileged to engage
-in them, while to crown all, the man-
agers rejoice in a very substantial ad-
• dition made to the building fund.

Fueenees—The remains of the young
man whose untimely death we record-
ed last week, was interredi by the oaa-
fellows of this place. A.5 the deceasea
had no connection with that body their
a4tion on that occasion is worthy of all
praise: A deeply impressing service
was eonducted by Rev. Mr. Brown.
• LECTURE.—A lecture was delivered
by Rev. Mr. McNaughton, of Fordwich,
in the Presbyterian church, on Monday
evening last. The attendance was very
small, chiefly owing, no doubt, to the
shortness of the notice given, it being
only announced on the preceding day.
The subject, which proved. to be an ex-
tremely interesting one; was "Music as
a Religious Ordinance," was presented.
in a very clear and forcible manner.

2nd Patrick
to be as concise p.s possible, I shall con-
tent myself by g ving the proper basis
of comparison, a d the largest patron's
account on each route of the Winthrop
Cheese Factory, leaving my readers to
draw their own conclusions. It would
be manifestly unfair to take a certain
cow or herd of cows and saylthat their
produce in a season was a larger money
value of butter, whilst the same limn-
ber of cows on a neighboring farm did.
not realize more than half the amount
for cheese. Such comparison lacks the
element of time and would be affected
also by a variety of circumstances such
as the quality of the cows, their winter-
ing and their summer feed.. The cheese
season is six months, the batter eight
or nine, and when the season is limited
alike in time there is the reservation of
one-seventh, namely the Sunday milk,
which would be calculated in making
butter. A case on this point occurred
this season. A patron said to me that
lie had given one-half of the milk of
his cows to the factory, and from the
Stanley.
SOIREE.—The soiree held in the
brick Church, Bayfield road, on the,
eveuing of the 12th inst.,was a success
in everything except he weather, which
was very stormy, bbt in spite of the
storm the church was filled to its
utmost capacity. The Rev. M. Denby,
pastor, occupied the chair and. discharg-
ed the duties of his office in a very
creditable manner. The Revds. Messrs.
Patterson, Broley, Thomson and Camp-
bell, delivered short, 'sound, sensible
addresses which were highly, appreciat-
ed by the audience. The Brucefield
,• choir was plenty in numbees, powerful
• in sound, and perfect in tune; it is
composed of some of the best materialin
the country, and I have no doubts but
what it will yet attain to more than
• local celebrity. The solos rendered by
Professoaonee were beautiful. Although
suffering from a temporary hoarseness,
he sang in a style Which places him in

The first column shows the quantity
of milk placed in the factory; the sec-
ond, aniomit of money paid for cheese
for that certain qu.antity of milk; the
third shows the amount of butter that
might have been made from the milk;
the fourth shoWs the value of the butter
at 11e, and the fifth shows the proper
average of butter to cheese on last
semen's price.
I have taken no account of the pack-
agesi or marketing of butter, for which,
in close calculations, one cent per pound
shotdd at least be made, and it elso
presu-mes that all the butter would have
been first-class. W. Mee, Seaforth.

. --iFrom - the Brussels Post of last
week, we take the following obituary
notice: "It becomes our painful duty
thie week to record the death of a well-
known and much respected member of
the community, Mr. Oliver Smith, Sr.,
of the 6th concession of the township of
Grey. The deceased was a native of
Rulewater, near Haevick, Roxburgh -
shire, Scotland.. Re Wee born at Harts-
haeigh Mills, in the year 1808, and the
earlier part of his life wee spent in
fanning and flourmilling at Hartshaugh
Mills, which occupation had been fol-
lowed by his father and grandfather be-
fore him in the sanae place. During the
last nine years of his residence in hie
native country, he was engaged as farm
steward with " Mr. Oliver, at Langrau,
Rulewater, which place he left with his
fa,mily for Canada in June, 1866, leav-
ing, behind him a very large circle of
friend.s and acquaintances, whom he
alttays held in the most affectionate re-
membrance. During his residence in
Canada he secured. the respect and es-
teem of all who knew him; and. the
affection of many warm personal friends.
His health has been failing gradually
for the past two or three years, but be-
ing a man of much energy and resolin
ton, he had not been confined to his
bed for more than a week before his
death. During his last illness he was
tenderly and. attentively waited upon
by Ins own family, of whom every mem-
ber was at his bedside during the last
few days of his life—a family gathering
of seven sons and three daughters, of
Linem ,and Crumb Cloths,
Tapestry Carpets, new pat
and lower prices.
