The proceeds amounted to $3n -On the evening of the 1st of July the Methodists held an entertainment in the Foresters' Hall. The Rev Mr. Cook gave a number of very nice lime- light views. The ladies, also, had pre- pared a quilt with the names of all those who contributed stitched on. This quilt offas put up at auetion, and was knocked dawn for $10 to Mr. Joseph Leech. Several thought a cheaper quilt might be good enough to cover an old bachelor, but perhaps he has an eye to business and intends it to cover some one else. The %lilt realised $84. OUR CHEESE FACTORY. -Mr. Wm. Welsh, of Belgrave, contractor for the new cheese factory here, has now com- pleted ihis contract, and the Board of Management are very much pleased with the way in which he has done the work, baying passed a resolution ordering the secretary to convey to Mr. Welsh a vote of thanks for the very satisfactory state in which they find the different build- ings are completed. They now consider they have got a factory inferior to none in Ontario. The size of the buildings are make_ room, 72 x 28 feet; press room, 50 x 20 feet; engine room, 24x 12 feet; curing room, 52 x 36 feet, faced with white brick, with cellar beneath curing room and stone foundations be- low all of the buildings. They are now making an average of 33 cheese per day, and sold at the Listowel cheese market lest week to Messrs. Jackson & Hallet, of Guelph, the first half of June make at 71. cents per M. Kippen. FOREIGN MISSIONS. -An auxiliary of the Women's Foreign Missionary So- ciety of the Presbyterian thurch was formed here last week. Mrs. Fair, of Clinton, was present and organized the society. The following officers were appointed: Mrs. Aicheson, President; Mrs. R. Hunt, Vice -President ; Miss MeMordie, 2nd -Vice ' -President Miss Mary Brown, Secretary and MissJennie Mellis, Treasurer. The society corn- naenced with a fair membership and we hope to see it largely and rapidly in- creased. SABBATH SCHOOL PICNIC. -A picnic for the Sabbath School children, of this place, was held in Mr. Doig's beautiful grove on Tuesday last. There was a large attendance of both children and adults and it waukl.be hard for an on- looker to say which enjoyed themselves hest, the youngsters or the elders. There were provisions in abundance and of the best and swings and other atnuse- ments while the mind and the ear were not neglected. Enchanting music was rendered by the choir and Sabbath School children under the leadership of Miss Mary Brown. Tolle Misses Mellis presided at the organ. Short, but very interesting and appropriate addresses were delivered by Rev. J. H. Simpson, of Brucefield; by R. Thompson, of Whitechurch, and J. Miller, J. Scott and R; McMordie„ of the cengtegation. The general opinion is that this was the beat picnic held iiithisneighborhood for years. THE LATE ROBERT BFLT..-Two weeks ago we noticed the illness of Mr. Robert Bell, sr., of this place, and we are now called upon to chronicle his death. The vital spark took its flight on,Friday last after a short but painless illness. There was no particular disease, but simply a wearing out of the physical system. Mr. Ben had reached the great age of 89 years and seven months, and we may say that he scarcely knew what it was to be a day sick. He was one of those sturdy, rugged pioneers who were well constituted for the work before them, and of whom there are naw few left. He was a native of Sterlingshire, Scotland, and came, to this country in the year 1836, almost a life -time ago. He located on the farm on the London road,Tucker- smith, now owned and occupied by his eldest son and namesake. In 1851 he became proprietor of the mills here, at present worked by Mr. John McNevin but which remained his property until his decease. Under his management this enterprise gained a wide reputation -and did an extensive business. To say that flour had been made at Bell's mills was a sufficient recommendation to se- eureit the favor of the most careful house -wife. For many years also he held the position of -T. P., and was the only dispenser of justice for miles around, and none could say that he was ever any thing eke than the mostjust and upright judge. He also, for many years, held a responsible position under the Canada Company. When in the prime of his business life few men wielded a greater infinen.ce among his fellows, and it was always used in the best interests of so- ciety. He was a man of the strictest rectitude, whose word was as good as his bond, and who was both just and gen- erous. He was a consistent member of the Presbyterian church, and for many Years was leader of the psalmody in the KiPpen church. He .was passion- ately fond of music. He has lived his time, and has passed away honored and beloved by all who knew him. He had seven sons and several daughters, all of whorn he lived to see comfortably settled within a few miles of the old homestead. The remains were interred in the Rod- gerville cemetery on Monday, and there :were nearly one hundred carriages in the funeral procession. The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. Aicheson,assisted by Rev.Mr.Simp- son of Brucefield. . -The Rev. T. 3. Smith, who has been in charge of the William street Methodist. church, Listowel for some time, left last week to take elsarge of a congregation at Linwood. Mr. Smith, during his pastorship in Listowel has labored hard in the interests' of his con- gregation and with marked success. Perth Items. Si. Marys is looking for a piece of land suitable for a town park. -Rev. Father. Chiniquy lectured in Listowel last Friday evening. -A grand fox hunt was arranged by Listowel sports, to come off on Thursday. -Cows are not permitted on the streets in Listowel either day or night. -Mr. R. Crosby removed from Kirk - ton recently to the llth concession of Fullerton. -Preparations are being made for a Grand Orange Celebration on the 12th July in Kirkton. - The Mayor of Listowel, Mr. Wm. Hess, has gone on a tour through Wis- consin for business purposes. -Some parties in Wallaee township were fined for going into a neighbor's hay -field in search of strawberries. -Captain O'Leary, of the Salvation Army, St. Marys, is in Prescott attend- ing at the death bed of her sister. -Stealing flowers from the graves in the cemetery at St. Marys is the despic- able meanness practised by some parties there. -Mr. A. B. McCallum, M. A., Head Master of Listowel High School, took charge of the examination' at St. Marys last week. -Mr. Dawson's first venture in shipping cattle from St. Marys to the English market has turned out highly successful. - A number . of the members of the Trowbridge Methodist church visited the parsonage on Saturday evening 26th ult. and presented the retiring pastor with a handsome sum of money. Rev. Mr. Hutton preached his farewell ser- mon on the following evening. -Mr. D. D. Hay, registrar of North Perth left for Manitoba last week, seek- ing improvement in his health which has been indifferent for some time. We hope he may return from his trip com- pletely rejuvenated. - -A sixtysix acre lot lying contiguous to St. Marys was sold, a few days ago for $3,750. The lot had previously been fixed on for a public cemetery but the location of the latter was afterwards changed. CO= az CO_ Members Toronto Stock Exchange, 26 TORONTO ST., TORONTO.
