OBITUARY.—Mr. John Mc-Dian/rid, one of
'ehe olcieet pioneers of the township of
Stanley, has been removed by death from
amongst us. He came to Canada in the
year 1843, along with his partner in life.
They settled in the township of Osgoode.
In the year 1845, he moved westward, in
company with the late Donald McDiarmid,
when this townehip was a solid wilderness.
They walked from Hamilton to this town-
ship. They picked on their farms, walked
to Goclerich and settled for their land and
then returned on foot to Hamilton, where
they tools the boat eastward. It is men of
this stamp who have made this country
what it is. They were not afraid to face
any hardship if they found it in the path of
duty. In the following year they returned
with their wires to their farms on the 3rd
concession of Stanley, and then built their
first shanties. By industry, pluck, perse-
verance and economy on the part of Mr.
McDiermid and his wife, thes/soon succeed-
ed in making a cornfcrteble home for them -
/selves and family. They had a family of
two goes and eight daughters. The two sons
and one daughter died when young. Of the
seven daughters ciliate married but the young-
est who still remains to coimfort her mother
iii he declining years: Mr. McDiarmid re-
tired from farming fifteen years ago, and
removed to Brucefield, where he continued
to reside until his death. He was an hon-
orable and kind-hearted man, and was liked
by all with wham he was acquainted. He
was a staunch Liberal in politics. When he
settled here first he had to contend with a
great many hardships. Often has he said that
he had carried two bushels of grain on his
back for two or three miles, and frequently
got lost in the woods when night overtook
him. He was e man of great endurance and
hardly ever knew what sickness was. He
was a native of Perthshire, Scotland, and
died an the 12th of January, at the ripe old
age of SO years and 8 months. He was a
member of the. Presbyterian Church for
many years. liis last illness was but of few
days duration, and he passed away without
a pain. He always leaned upon, the precious
pramises,ancl trusting in his blessed Master,
he passed, away in the hope of . a glorious
eternity - where sin and sorrow are not
known. It is a peculiar coincidence that
although John and Donald were in no way
related, their late were cast- much together,
and in life they were as intimate as brothers
and were scarcely separated in death, only a
day or two intervening between the death
of eacb and now both relit almost side by
side in the cemetery.

BRIEF.—The Presbyterians of our village
and surrounding country, held a special
meeting on Tuesday 26th inst., to consider
the advisability of building a new church,
and although nothing definite was decided
upon except, that a new church is necessary
and the time has arrived when the matter
must be seriously considered, yet we may
expect to see our village decorated in the
near future, with a handsome and commodi-
ous Presbyterian church. An adjourned
meeting will be held on Timaday, February
2nd, to ehoose a /site and consider other
matters of importance, in connection with
the building of same. We should like very
well to see our brethren erect their new
edifice, on that excellent plot of gronnd,

were pretty well bought up at the close. For a few
extra choice fancy fat cattle 40 per lb was paid. The
general run was from 21c per lb for thin anituals up
to 3ac for choice. Milch`cows and springers remain
firm at from $30 to $50 per head. Good choice

tone to this trade, and not much doieg. Quotations
range at from ss to $8 per head,according to quality*
as high a� $9 being paid for extra choice veals. Sheep

receipts. Good animals bring from 85 to $6 per head
according to condition and size. There is a moderate
demand for the American market at from 83 to $4.26
per cwt. The local inquiry is not so brisk. Choice
stock sells pretty well, but rams and culls are not
much called for. Some of these fetch as low as 2c
per lb up to 2ac. Only a few were left in th pens at
the olose-of the market. Hogs—Receipts of hogs
were light, and prices firmer. The general run for
best hogs is from $4.25 to .4.40; for stores and light
fat there is hardly any demanl, and rough hogs sell
slowly. Heavy rough fetch from $4 to $4 20, and
half fat about the same. One load of good straight
fat hogs was sold for $4.60 per cwt. weighed off cars,
There is a demand for this ohms.

sell in lots at about 41e per lb. Fat hogs are advanc-
ing in price and bring nearly 60 per lb ; dressed
hogs tell for a little over Oc.

that I had to pay, and altogether I felt I
too tired and miserable to go home to ;
tea. Well, just as I was about to
close, n couple of customers, who had
long standing accounts, came in and
paid up. That made my mind easy,
but I was still feeling used up, so I
went over to W. G. Glenn, the new
man, and had a dish of oysters. I
tell you they were fine. Then I got a
quarter's worth of _these cigars—have
one—and now I feel that I can enjoy
the society of my wife and children
when 1 get home."
"Say," said the first speaker,
"that's a ten center, isn't it I"
"Why, no; Glenn gave me six for
a quarter," said the friend.
"Well," rejoined the Other, "come
back till I get a quarter's worth too;
I never struck as good for the money;
that new man keeps 'good stock, and
sells it right, too.; he'll get along all
right, don't you think so ?"
