AN OLD FRIRND.-The appearance of our old frieud, Tux CANADIAN ALMANAC for 1894, reminds us that another year has near- ly run its course, and tha,tt1893 will soon be a thing of the past. This:excellent publica- tion is older than the oldeit inhabitant, and with each succeeding year it seems to im- prove, This number, like its predecessors, is chuck full of the most useful information for every person, while any men of businees can herdly afford to be without it. FARM SOLD. -Mr. Michael Doreey, whose farm is sheeted on the Baron road, Tucker - smith, a short distance east of Seaforth, sold the east .50 acres to Mr. Richard Barry. of Seaforth, for $2,525. The buildings F. 0 fair, with a good orchard, while the soil a as good as can be found in the world.

He still re- tying the west 50 acres, on which he livee, bet will sell it too if a suitable purchaser offers. the Session and congregation, in the loss they have sustained by the removal of a pastor so dearly beloved, whose services were so highly appreciated by the congrega- tion and so richly owned by the Marater,a,nd it is our earuest-prayer that the Lord will continue to bestow his bletsing upon the seed ,town, so that there may be au abun• d nt harvesteto the honor and gloey of Hie ; a me." i ; Home Missiou Wouto-Rev. Neil Shaw, of Egmondville, preached in the Presby- terian church in this town on Sabbath inorn- ing last. Min Shaw is an earnest and able preacher and is becoming popular, not only with his own people but with those of neighboring congregations. In the evening Rev. Mr. Stewart delivered au address, placing before the congregation the claims of the Home Mission Committee. In a clear and concise manner he shewed the good work being done in all sections of the field by that committee and its claims for the liberal support of the church. We are sure that Mr. Stewart's excellent address will be 'the means of largely increased con- tributions to the Home Mission Fund. Notwithetanding the stormy evening he was lietened to by a large congregation. He addressed the Egmondville congregation me • the same subject in the forenoon. Dr. Mc- Donald occupied Rev. Mr. Stewart's pulpit in Clinton, and addresse'd that congregation on the same subject. DIED IN DAROTA.-Many of the friends hereabouts of Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Mc- Lean, formerly of Tuckersmith, but now of Tyner, Dekote, will regret to learn of the death of their son, Mr. Peter McLean, who died at Devil's Lake, Dakota, of fever, af- ter an illness of about three weeks, He was 30 years of age and unmarried. A pa- per published in Langdon, the county seat oU Pembina county, says of the de- ceased : " Mr. Peter McLean, who was one of the mole widely known and highly re- speoted citizens of this county, had for the past eight months been engaged as general agent for the north part of the State of the Plano Manufacturing Company, and was stationed at Devil's Lake.. He had taken sick with fever about three ..weeks before, mid Sunday last becoming tired of his con- finement and the delay, got up and walked around, for an hour or so. The exertion proved too much for his weakened -system and a relapse followed, from whioh he never recovered. Mr. McLean was born in Huron Connty, Ontario, in 1863, moved te Pem- bina County, this state, in 1879, and has since been engaged in farming and the ma- chinery business in Cavalier and Pembina counties, He has been deputy sheriff of Cavalier since 1890, He leavee en aged father and mother and six brothers and seven sisters to mourn his untitnely death. His eldest brother, Henry, has long been a eesident of Cypress, and is an ex-cemmis- sioner of 'this county."

M ATRIMONIAL.- A. very pleasant event took place at the residence of Mr. George Brownlee, 4th concession of Tuckersmith,on Wednesday of last week, when his eldest daughter was united in the bonds of matri- niony, to Mr. Henry Little, 13th concession of Hullett. Miss M. Brownlee,of Colborne, assisted the bride while the groom was supported by Mr. Ross, of Hullett. The knot was securely tied by Rev. Mr. Gallo- way, of Seaforth. About 75 guests partook of a eumptuous dinner. The evening was very cheerfully spent with music, both vocal and insteumental. The numerous and cost- ly presents received by the bride were suffi- cient to prove that she was highly esteemed in the neighborhood in which she lived, and we feel dere that Tuckertirnith's loss mill be Hullett'i gain. In the small hours of the morning the guests dispersed, all feeling satisfied with the evening's enjoyment, and wishing the newly married couple a long, happy aad prosperous life. Leadbury.
