EIENDERSON. —Another of the early pioneers of this district passed away on Mo dey lest, in the persen of Mre. Isabella He derson, relict of the late Robert Henderson, nd who had been a continual resident on he farm where she died for well on to fort r Years. Mrs. Henderson was a native of ausirkshire, Scotland, and was born in the ear 1815. She was married to Robert Hen ereon in 1834, and the young couple star ed immediately for Canaria. Their first oine was in the town of Whitby where they reSided several years. In 1853 they rernov d treat, and coming to Huron - they settled on the farm on the Huron road, a few miles eet of Seaforth, in Tuckersmith township, jell has continued up to the present tirn to be the family homestead. Mr. Hender on died nearly five years ago. Theiamily .onsisted of one son, Mr. J. B. Hendereon, now residing on the homestead, and four daughters, Mrs. Alex. Watt, Clin- ton, Mrs. TilicS. Amos, Michigan, and two residing at orhe. The deceased had reached the age of 7 y ears and 7 months: She bad lost her eyeeight of late yeare but otherwise enjoyed tolerably good health until-- last Sabbath, when she was' taken with what appeared toibe a severe attack of la grippe, and the stritgle wan very short as she passed away Monday morning.

The Sabbath school has a memberehip of about four hundred and it is needless to say there were not many abeentees. The enter- tainment was free to all, and the tables, spread in the batement, furnished ample entertainment for the first hour. There was an abundance of the best, and all, both ,old and young, seemed to be satisfied. An adjournment was made to the audience room where the chair was taken by the pastor, Itev. Mr. McDonald. The church,was well filled, the parents as well as the ; children being well represented. A most interesting programine, participated in only by the children, was given much to the admiration and delight of all listeners. The progrardme consisted of recitations, dialogues and music and all did remarkably well, and it must have taken a good deal of patient and loving labor on the part of their instructors to bring the little ones to such a degree of proficiency, while their behaviour entitles the little °nee themselves to the greatest credit. The entertainment throughout was a splendid success and was as creditable as' it must be gratifying te all who took part in it. The order, alio, was admirable, consid- ering the ages of the larger patt of the audience and may be attributed in no small degree to the tact and good nature of the chairman. • EneioNavuese leeeis.—On Sabbath last large and interested congregations listened to excellent sermons from the B,ev.

He had done the buainess of the township to the satisfaction of every one present, end - only one of thel old councillors was critisized to any extent. Yet there is a clique who want to run this council out and get men in who will pass the herd law to 'prevent stock from running at large and so prevent a poor man from keeping a cow or a few sheep. Now; sir, some of these same men have fences along some of our roads that are a disgrace to any township. In- deed I know fences that if the boards were takennff about half of the posts would • fall of their own accord, and those are SOMQ of the men who are BO keen for this herd law to pass. And, about our worthy reeye, I can say with confidence, that he is the best man who ever went out of Hullett te the County council since I have been here,which is_close on 40 years. Laboring men and poor ratepayers who have to let your stock run on the roads, vote for the old council. Yours, RATEPAYER; ' e Turnberry.

GONE TO REST.—The death Of Mr. James McLean, which took place on Saturday last, was not unexpected, as , he had been in a very weak state for smile time. Mr. Mc- Lean was born in Ayrshire, Scotland, on the 17th of July, 1813. He emigrated to this country in the year 1833. After living a short time in the toweship of Toronto he came to the county of Eiuron, and settled on the farm in Tuckersmitta near Kippen, on vvhich he died. After some years of bachelor life he married Janet Bell, eldest daeghter of the late Robert Bell.' She died aboint six years ago. By this union there were barn six sons and one deughter,. the latter, Margaret, who married Mr.W.C.pharters,now of Ash- land, Wisconsin. She died some years ago. Of the sons there are five living. John, David and Robert are living in the township of Tuckersmith, William, in Hensall, and Andrew, in Detroit, thq ether son, James, died some years ago. , Mr. McLean ie the last of five brothere, all. of whom settled in the township of Tuckersmith about 57 years ago, when the countty was an unbroken foreet and when Londen was a mere hamlet. Many were the inter sting tales he would (3 relate of the hardshi s of the early set- tlers as well as the go d old times they had over their many gatherings, such as the old log raisings, where th y would often travel 11 miles to help each ot er ; and when they would share the last oaf with ' each other, and the last shilling for necessaries. In re- ligion Mr. McLean stipported the Presby- terian Church. In politics he was a Re- former in the fullest aense of the,term. He was a jovial, good-hearted man, and, although having reached nearly fourscore years, had numerous friends who will regret the depierture of a kindly old man. Hay. SQUIRREL HI:NT. —There was consider- able excitement and a good time among the sportsmen on the 14th concession last Sat- urday.

After the question had been fully dealt with, a few questions on other eubjects were asked and discussed, which reeulted in much bene- fit to all,present. A motion was carried for the establishing of a question dresser, and that half an hour be devoted to the discuss- ing of the questions in it at each meeting. It was decided that at the next meeting, which will be held on Tuesday evening, January 5th, that the subject, " Bare sum- mer fallowing and other methods of weed eradication,' be discussed by the meeting and that an come prepared to takeL part.
