She was ase efficient teacher in the Public School here for several, years, ana was a universal fay-ente with both pupils and parents. , She wEl terian idence interes, 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. .

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.

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. Cheese and Butter. MB.

Mr. Henry Hamilton, of lot 20, concession 14, Mc- Killop, has just complete residence. The building 16x18, one and a half sto a stone cellar the who house. The brick work Mr. 3. Kidd, of Exeter. for the wood work, which is first-class, was famished by Mr. Broadfoot, of Seaforth, who has certainly. done him- self credit. The work eves done by Mr. J. Duncan, of Seafortle. On Friday evening last Mr. Hamilton gave hou.se- warming, which was attended by 35 couple of young people, who spent a very pleasant evening. This fine build - ding does not look like hard times with Mr. Hamilton. rancis O'Neil, Senior third which they are insisted on. Desiring 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 front rank of solo singers. The church was tastefully decorated with evergreen wreaths relieved by paper flowers. The -ladies of the congregation deserve great praise for the most mast- erly way in which they managed the culinary department. After the usual votes were passed, all went to their homes feeling that they had enjoyed themsel es immensely. • On the next 4v night t ere was a grand turn out. The music as conducted by local amatuers • who performed their part with consid- erabM credit. The platform was also supplied by kcal lights who, if they did not wearbroad-cloth and white ties, or understand all about ethics and. homileties, acquitted themselves very fairly.

Table Linens, Towellings, .Stair . --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.
