The first is the enla gement of
Canada's omid carte npa,per,published

now eight pages, and n addition to its
cartoons, which are w Ale the subscrip-

Oniruenr.—We this week record the
death of Mr. Hugh A. Cameron, which
took place at the residence of his father,
in Brucefield, on Thursday night of
last week, of consumption. The de-
ceased was well and favorably known
to many of our readers. He served his
apprenticeship as a general blacksmith
in Seaforth with Mr. David McNaught,
and for three years thereafter he had.
the management of that gentleman's
business while he was attending the
Veterinary College at Toronto. He re-
sided in Seaforth in all about six years,
On leaving Seaforth he went to Fergus,
where be remained about six months.
While in Fergus he had a very severe
attack of typhoid fever. Leaving Fer-
gus he went .b Jacksonville, Illinois.
-He was only here about six months
when he received a very flattering offer
from the managers of the -Maple Leaf
Base Ball Club of Guelph, thee the
champion club of the Dominion, to play
with the. first nine. Heaccepted this
offer and returned to Guelph; His con-
nection with :the club continued two
seasons, and he employed his time in
Mac intervals in the manufacture of
patent springs in Arnestrong's carriage
factory. Leaving Guelph he purchased
a business in Kinburn,,township of Hul-
lett,.in the year 1875. In Kinbnrn he
soon built up a profitable business, and
was doing well, but while there he con-
tracted a severe cold. Being ed, strong,
healthy, active young man, he, ilike too
many others, paid little attention to
this cold, expecting it would soon pass
off, until it edeurecl such a firm hold
upon his system as to defy all medical
skill. He abandoned. the blackbrnith-
ing business and. engaged in the imple-
ment agency business, with the hope
that thelighter employment would aid.
him to recover. All to no purpose,
however, as he gradually grew worse.
Last summer he was induced to go to
the Western States, and he spent about
four months in Iowa. Not getting any
better here, he went to ,Colorado last
fall. kle took up hisqi,bode or a time
a short distance from Pueblo, and for a
while at first experienced a marked im-
provement in his health; but on the
approach of winter, Which was one of
the most severe ever experienced in
that country, he took a relapse. He
remained in Colorado about SiX months.
He returned home to Brucefield about
six weeks ago, and after reaching home
he seemed to sink very rapidly, until
Thursday, when he breathed his last as
above stated. He was extremely patient
under his long illness, and never uttered
a complaint. He was cut down th the
prime of life, being only 30 years Of age.
He was a steady, industrious and, ex-
ceedingly exemplary young man, and
was held itt the highest esteem by all
wbo knew him. He leaves a young
wife, who, with bis .aged parents and
other relatives, will ha've the sin.cere
sympathy of a, large number of friends
in their sad bereavement. He was
buried in. the Presbyterian cemetery at
Brucefield, on Saturday last. Being a
member of 13ritannia Masonic Lodge,
Seaforth, a large number of the breth-
ren from Seaforth and Clinton Attested.
their respect for their departed brother,
by following his remains to their last
resting place in full regalia. He was
buried with Masonic honors. The im-
pressive burial ceremonies were eon -
&acted by Brother Malloch, of cliatton,
assisted by Brother C. Wilson, W. M.,
of Britannia Lodge, and other memters.
His memory will long be cherished not
alone by his brother Masons, but by a
large circle of friends as well, as he was
an exemplary man, a worthy Mason,
and a genial, whole -so -tiled companion.

PERSONAL.—Many of our readers will
be ghat° learn that W. D. Gordon, of

creditable examination.

young merchant, Mr. A. R. Smith, has

tensive business. Having secured the
services 'of a first-class tailor, he is iiew
prepared to get up all sorts of clothing
in the latest etyle and guarantees a per-
fect fit. . .

BUBGLARY.—On Sunday night some
person or persons entered the post office at
Leadbury and took several pairs of men's
andwomen's shoes,besides groceries and
quite a number of other articles. There
is no suspicion of who the guilty parties
are: The thieves Cut a hole in the door,
and by this means -were enabled. to put
their hand_ through and unfastened the
door. They also seem to have known
that Mr. Davie was not at home, he
having gone to Manitoba about two
weeks ago, and so took advantage of the
time when there was no person about
the plebe.
Hay.
A GOOD HonsE.—Mr. Thomas Berry,
of Hay, last week purchased. from Mr.
HuglaBell, of Hullett, near Kinburn, a,
horse five years old, for whicb he paid
thehandsome sum of $150. The horse,
as the price indicates, is 'a remarkably
fine animal.
EARLY SEEDING.—Mr. Editor,—Sir :
I notice by your last week's issue that
Mr. William Dixon, of Stanley, sowed
grain on the 16th inst., but we can beat
that in Hay. Mr. James E. Troyer
sowed grain on the 15th April, and Mr.
Edward J. Troyer finished sowing on
Mao 19th inst. After this, I think Stan-
ley must take a "back seat."—FAIIIIEn.

note intimating that she would be dead
When it would be found.
SAWING.—.Mr. Samuel Beithevell has
been sawing with his steam engine down
in the pinery. It worked splendid, out-
ing about 4,000 feet of lumber every
day. Mr. Rathwell is all ready for the
threshing campaign. Judging frona the
style in which this machine performed
its work last year, we bespeak a big
rush for Mr. Rathwell and a big rest for
horse flesh.

to over& wing. By 7 o'clock the enter-
tainment commenced and continued
until about 10, during which time the

ing the programme, in training the -pile
