He ham been failing very per- ceptibly for the past few years, but pureued his avocation until near the last, having just comPleted a long trip before arriving at Mr. Keree. He was quite a politician in his way and was always a staunch Liberal. He was never married and had no relatives in this country that he knew of. A Usesue PUBLICATION.—The CanadaLum- berman in its January number celebrates the thirteenth anniversery of its first is3ue by appearing in a complete new suit, hand- some indeed. This fine publication is de- voted to the interests of the lumber trade in all its branches, buying, selling, curinmuses, manufecture &c.. &c. and contains a vast amount of useful and reliable! imformation invaluable to all who may bet interested in the products of not only our own forests but the woods of other countries. The enter- prisiog publisher, Mr. Arthur G. Mortimer, Toronto, has our best wishes for success in the pnblication of the Canada Lumberman. • IMPORTED CATTLE. — Mr. D. D. Wilson has added to his already fine head of cattle, four imported heifers and two imported bulls Abide arrived here safely and in good con- dition last week. The heifers are as fol- lows : " Early Bird," calved March, 1889 ; " Waterloo Princese," calved March 1890 ; Diamond 17th," calved March, 1891 ; " Diamond 18th," calved April, 1891. The three first named are red and the last roan. The bulls are : 11Defiance," roan, calved No- vember, 1890 ; " Prime Minister," red, calved February, 1891. They are all high pedigreed animals, are of the famous and popular Cruickshank strain, and were bred in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. They will make a valuable addition to the thorough- bred stock of the County, and cannot fail to be of immense service to the public. We hope they will prove a profitable venture for the enterprising importer and owner. TILE WARDENSIIIP.—At the opening of the County Council on Tuesday, Mr. John Torrance, Reeve of Stanley, was elected Warden. His opponent was Mr. William Milne, Reeve of Grey. Mr, Torrance was elected by a majority of two. The vote was a straight party one, and shows the political complexion of the Council for this year. In the ebsence of Mr. Manning, Reeve of Clin- ton, who is tee ill to attend, the Conserva- tives have a majority of three, but on this vote Mr. Bryans, the second deputy -Reeve of Grey, who is a Conservative, is supposed to hane voted for his chief. This brought Mr. Torrance's majority to two. We be- lieve this is the first time, at all events for many years, that Stanley has been honored by having its representative elected to the Warden's chair, and we congratulate that municipality and its Reeve on the honorable distinction that has been conferred upon thern. Mr. Torrance will, no doubt, make a -good Warden, and will, we have every con- fidence discharge the duties with credit to himself and advantage to the county. STILL MORE. Two more of our aged resi- dents have pass d away within the past few days. Mr. Ja es Johnston died at the residence of hi eon -in-law, Mr. Murdoch Campbell, in till town, Mr. Johnston" Web father of Mr. homes Johnston, of Grey, ,t.ed Mrs. Cam bell, of Seafortb. He was attacked with the prevalent disease, and being physical] weakened by old' age he readily gave wa, before it. Mr. Johnston bad reached th great age of 89 years and 5 months. Until very recently he was able to go around quite smart and was enabled to attend church regularly every Sabbath. His aged partn r, who survives him, will be 90 years of age in the 26th of next May. They have be n married 67 years. They have resided this county for about 30 years. Mr. ohneton was a worthy, christian man a d was much and deservedly respected by al who knew him. —Mrs. Aun mith, widow of the late John Smith, al o died on Sunday. Mrs. Smith was 57 y ars. For many years, with her hueband an family, she lived on the Mill Road, Tu keremith, near 13rucefield, and soon after t e death of her husband she removed to Sea orth where she has since re- sided. She wa a kind-hearted woman, and her death will e a sad bereavement to her family and frie ds. Her aged mother, who has been bed-ri den for years, and who sur- vives her, will reatly miss her loving,atten- tion and care. She leaves a family of sever- al daughters an, one son, all of whom are grown up, to eourn the loss of a faithful and devoted mother. Ma CARNIVAL.—The first carnival of the season was held in the rink on Friday even- ing last, and was well attended. The ice was in fine condition, and the band was present and discoursed swee.t music. The spectator's prize, a gold watch, was won by Mr. J. S. Roberts. Those in costume, how- ever, were few and far between. The prize3 were won by the following pereons Boy's costume, 0. Moxley, let ; George Casson, 2nci. Girlie costume, Edna Henderson, 1st ; Tilly Fitzgerald, 2ncl. Although there were so few in costume everybody seemed to en- joy thomselves and have a good skate. An- other carnival will be held shortly, when more liberal prizes will be offered, and it will, no noubt, be more successful than the last. We think, however, that if the managers would secure the services of the band once in every two weeks or so, without the ad- dition of a carnival, the attendance would be just about as large and the expense much less.

GUNN, Seaforth FATAL Acemeeer.a-One of theme terrible accidents which hcrrify the whole com- munity, and resulten in the death of a young man, tamed John McAdam. eldest, son of Mr. Gordon McAdam occurred on the farm of Mrs. Ireland, Mill,- Road, Tuck- ersmith, near Egmondville, on Tuesday last. It appears that a 11 steamer " was at work at the barn, and the boiler began to leak, thus putting out the fire, which was taken from the furnace and the steam pressure re- duced. Young MoAda.m then undertook to go into the furnace to stop the leak, but his attempts only made matters worse, and the fast escaping steam and water literally cook- ed him, Notwithstanding this, however, the poor fellow turned around in the fur- nace, crawled out and walked to the house, a distance of several roda Everything that the best medical skill could accomplish was done, but to no purpose, and death pet an end to his sufferings about three o'clock on Wednesday morning. Young McAdam was about 19 years of age, and was a most steady,nindustrions and exemplary young man, and his sad death is a severe blow to his respeeted parente. The sincerest sym- pathy of the whole community will be given to the bereaved family in their terrible afiliction. STILL ANOTHER. —Another old resident has been. removed by death. Frank Hen- derson, or " Old Frank," as he was famili- arly known, died at his boarding place, Pinkney'e hotel, in this town on Friday night last, after a very brief innees, at the age of 77 years. About two weeks ago he arrived at Mr. Alex. Kerr's in McKillop, and complained of not feeling well. Mr. and Mrs. Kerr, with their accuistorned kindnese, took care of him and nursed him until he was supposed to have fully recover- ed, and as he wanted to come to Seaforth Mr. Kerr drove him into town on Wednes- day. On Wedneaday night, thinking no doubt he was better than he really was, he went out and caught a severe cold, which settled on his lungs and resulting in con- gestion, soon did its fatal work. Mr. _Henderson was a nativa of Roxboroahire, Scotland. He has been a resident of this county for about forty years, and during thot tuna, with his pack on his back, he has traveled neerly every concession and side road and has visited nearly every house in it. He sold books and other nick-nacks. He usually made Seaforth his head quarters, bat he was so well known that be could always make his home at any house in the county when night over took him.
