SAD DEATIL—Many of our readers will learn With feelings of the deepest regret of the death of Mrs. H. W. C. Meyer, of Wingharn, which took place in that town on Tuesday evening after a few days' illness. Mrs. Meyer was the eldest daughter of Hon. A. M. Ross, Provincial Treasurer. She was a most amiable and cultivated lady, and was alike beloved by all who knew her. She leaves a family of three small children. We extend to the ;bereaved friends our giacerest sympathy, and partictilarly to Mr. Meyer, who has sustained the se - Nereid blow that can fall -upon a human being in this life, Parties from here wishing to attend the funeral, which -takes place at Goderich to -day (Friday) at 3 o'clock, will be able to return by special train the same evening. • A NEW RAILWAY. — An informal meeting of a number of the business men of the town was held in the council chamber oo Monday evening last to consider the railway project referred to in our editorial columns. The Mayor and Dr. Coleman, who had attended the Woodstock meeting, gave a report of what bad been done there. The feeling was unanimous that railway competition .woulcl be beneficial to the town, and the feeling 'manifested showed that our citizens are fully alive to their! interests in this respect. A committee, Consisting of the Mayor, Reeve, Deputy Reeve and Dr. Colenran and Messrs. J. H. Broad - foot and M. Y. McLean, with power to add to their't number, was appointed to at in conjunction with other munici- palities interested and to lOok after tisings generally.

The feeling in the section . between the respective partiee seems to be already more bitter than i the educational interests of and we fear that the publish -report would not tend to allay that feeling bet would, on the contrary, intensify it, and conseouentl' we have decided te withold it for the resent. A CANADLAN NEBRASKA.—We learn a great "-boom" is no ev going on in lands in Nebraska, particularly in tuev;a and city property. Our good friend, Mr. H.

Another change in mill property is that of the Hensall oat meal mill which has been so successfully carried on in the past by Messrs. Urqu- hart & Wright. This valuable property, has this week been leased to Messrs. Hood & Robertson of this place, for a term of years and we believe this new and enterprising firm will carry on the business in a manner alike profitable to themselves and creditable to the village. We wish both of the new firms success in their undertakings. Mr. D. Urquhart having sold out his interest in the two aforementioned branches of trade intends devoting his whole time and capital to his saw mill and lumbering business and the manufacturing of lath and shingles. Tuckersmith. Pnoutio.—,On Tuesday last a ewe belonging to Mr. John Prendergast gave birth to four lambs all of which are living and doing well. FARM P.URCHASED.—Mr. Appleton Elcoat, of the West End, has purchased the Alexander farm on the 3rd conces- sion, for $6,000. Mr. Elcoat is a good example of what industry and good management an accomplish in this On- tario of our. He came here a poor man and now he is the owner of four hundred acme of as fine land as there is in Canada. 1Fortunately he is not by any means a single exception, as there are many oth,ers in Huron who have done equally well. MORE GOOD STOCK. —Mr. Wm Cooper, of the Mill Road has purchased from Mr. J. D. Pettit, a well known breeder of short-horos in Burford township, five animals, viz ; a cow and calf, a two year old heifer in calf and two yearling heifers. One of the yearlings is of the Waterloo Booth strain and is a remarkably fine animal. The others are all of the Bates blood. These animals averaged in price about $100 each. They are all pedigreed and upon the whole are as good a lot as has yet been brought into the township. Mr. Cooper is rapidly coming to the front as a breeder of thorough breds, and his last addition will give him a herd that will not be easily beaten. He expects to make some of the older breed- ers hustle up at show time and we do not think h will be disappointed. l BRIEFS.
