MANITOBA.—We very much
regret to learn from Me. Jelin Ritchey,
late of East Wawanosh, but now of

Manitoba, of the death of his third son,
John James, a promising and clever
• young man of 18 years. He died at the
residence of his father on the 17th of
November after a short illness of inflana
'nation of the Itings. The many old
friends of Mr. Ritchey in this county
- will sympathise with himself and family
in aeScount of this very sad bereavement.
The rema,ins were interred in Neepawa

meeting was held at the Salvation Army
barracks last Wednesday evening.

Land. He is a stranger here, this beiag
kis. first appearance in Seaforth. He is
a young man of pleasing addresS, and
the !best of order was maintained, al-
though every seat was occapieds The
prinoipal feature of attraction was the

Christian religion in the Army two y.ears
ago ander Major 'ticker. He has been

sarie It is his purpose to devote his
life now to mission work in connection
with! the Army in his own country, to
-whiqs he expects to return after spend-
ing a few months in Canada, the United
Sates and England. He were the na-
tive dress of his class in India and was,
a coarse, an object of some cariosity.
He is a rather tall, well built man, with '
am intelligent and axis iable countenance,
speaks English welt and fluently, and
appears full of zeal and vigor in th6-
cause of Christianity_ Captain Cusiu is
from Neuchatel, Switzerland,, has been a
;worker in the Army- in his native land
and in France for two years. He is a
• rapid, energetic speaker, and devoted to
