If. R. Ransford and W. G. McLellan' as-
aembIed at the Queen's hetel, at the invita-
tion of Mr. P. Tobin, the genial manager of
the hotel, to afford an opportunity of saying
au revoir to the boys. Shortly after ten
- o'clock, about twenty young. men were
seated aeound au elaborately spread table,
when Mr. Tobin's talented little daughter,
Miss Mabel, came forward and gave two ex-
cellent recitations. A tempting luncheon
was then served, after which a couple of
hours were most pleasantly and. sociably
spent with speeches and song, when many
sincere regrets were expressed at the de-
parture of Messrs. Ransford and. McLellan
from town, and hopes for their welfare in.
the future. It was a kindly act on the part
of Mr. Tobin to thus afford the boys such a
pleasant opportunity of Baying ferewell, and
'all present were deeply grateful to him for
his thoughtfulness and hospitality.
'DEATH OF JOHN MORROWs—The follow-
lugs- which we take from the Ingersoll
Cheonicle, tells of thek decease of one well
known in this town and vicinity. Mr.
Moerow was a brother of Mr. Wm. Morrow,
a nephew of Mr. Samuel Smith and son-in-
lawl of Mrs. Hargan, all of thie town : " It
is with deep regret that we announce the
death of Mr. John Morrow, lof the John
Morrow Machine Screw- Works,' which took
place at his late residence, Thuieday night,
after a protracted illness. Deceased was a
victim of that dread disease consump-
tion, which resulted from a severe attack of
inflammation of the lungs some fifteen
years ago. Re had been in failing health
for some years 'and made a gallant fight
with the king of terrors. The ;past two
winters he apent in Texas and. California,
in the hope of regaining hie accustomed
vigor, while it effected an improvement
.f in, hie t edition for the time being, it was
not permanent. The late John Morrow was
born on a farm near Milton, on- the let of
Datober, 1851, and he was consequently in
hid 47th year. For a number of years he
followed the occupation of cheesemaker, in
Huron county. Later on he entered the ag-
noidtural implement business in London.
After continuing that for some time he
formed a partnership with Mr. W. K Wort -
man, nave of the Waltman &_ Ward Manu-
facturing Company, as manufacturers of
hay forke, and severing his connection with
that firm he established the hfachine Screw
business, which_ he has successfully con.
t
ductedever since. He was a consistent
member of the Methodist church and a
member of the quarterly official board of
;that ()bun**. He was married nearly
twenta, years. ago to Miss Rebecca Hargan,
of Seaforth, who survives him. He also
leaves a family of four, two boys and two
girls, to mourn his lose. The funeral was
attended by representatives from the town
council, the employees, and a large number
of friends and relatives. The services were
conducted by Rev. G. Richardson, pastor
of the deceased, assisted by other minieters
of the town."

THE BASEBALL BENEFIT. —The entertain-
ments given by the Gilbert-Gordoo gem-
pany &nil the cinematographe in Cardno's hall
on Wednesday and Thursday evenings, under
the auspices of the baseball club wern not
very well patronized, which could undoubt-
edly be accounted for by the very stermy
cold weather. The company give a very
creditable entertainment. Mrs. Gordon; the
soprano, .sings well, Mr. Kenney in his
selections waa well received; while the boy
baritone in -hie descriptive songs intrciduces
a new and pleasing feature. Miss Gilbert
is a very clever and- accomplished cornetist,
and her selections were meet oleverlY.ex-
ecuted. The pictures shown by the eine-
matographe are good, while those of the
'Queen s Jubilee procession in Landon, Eng-
land, give one an idea of the grandeur land
magnitude of that celebration. .
Goma TO ENGIAND.—Mr. George Fitz-
gerald, who has had charge of the finishing
department in the Broadfoot & Box furni-
tnre factory for a number of years, leaves
about the end of this month for LiverPool,
England, where he has been engaged With
Fawke & Co., wholesale furniture dealers, -
of that city, to look•after the finishing de-
partment of their business. Mr. Fitzgerald
will take a number of men with him; While`
in England he will &leo introduce his cele-
brated hard stone finish. Mr. Fitzgerald is
a most capable man for the position, air he
understands every detail in connection with
the finishing of furniture, and is besid,ea a
shrewd and energetic business man. Fawke
&Co. recently purchased a large quantity of
furniture from the Broadfoot & Box Co., and
apparently show the sable good judgment in
selecting their employees as they do in select-
ing their goods.
'
BUSINESS CHANGE. —Mr, Lewis McDonald,
who hae carried on in this town so success-
fully the extensive carriage and blacksmith-
ing business of the late John Dorsey, has
disposed of the same to Mr. -Robert Dever-
eaux, of Chicago, eon of Mr, John Devereaux,
sr. 'of the Huron Road East. The gala in-
cludes the land and buildings, along with
the business. Mr. Devereaux is not un-
known in these parts, having served his
time here, but of recent years he has been a
resident of the Windy City, where, we are
glad to learn, he has prospered. The- busi-
ness could not have fallen into better hands.
Besides being a practical workman himself,
he -combines that tact of manner which is
sure to make him a favorite with all his
customers. We -congratulate him on his
purchase, and welcome him to our business
community, as we feel sure he will well
maintain the high reputation which this
establishment enjoys for turning out firat-
Mass work.

DIED IN. TIM WEST. —The young man,
the notice of whose death we take from the
Bossevain, Manitoba, Globe, of Janary 27th,
is a native of Tackersmith, and a grandson
of Mr. James Bonthron, late.postmaster at
Rodgerville. The Many friends 6f the
family in this vicinity will extend their
Most sineere sympathy to the sorely
bereaved friend's. The Globe says : On
Monday morning at twenty minutes to four
occurred the death of James Nicol at the
family residence. Deceased had been con-
fined to. his room for about eight weeks from
heart trouble, during which time he did not
lie down' but was kept in a sitting posture
in bed. Sleep, toe, was almost unknown
to him; but at last life's strings could no
longer bear up against the tension, and the
spirit took its flight to the great beyond
where rest is eternal. Cut off in the _prime
of life—being thirty-one years of age—he
will be missed in athletic and social circles,
bat the more so in connection with the busi-
ness of E. Nicol & Son, with which he was
identified, where his plaee will be hard to
fill. During his illness, and up to the last
minute of his existence, deceased gave no
sign, by word or action, of -opposition to the
inevitable result, but bore up with that
Christian fortitude possessed only by one
who is prepared to meet his end with peace.,

undertakes.—Thr ugh an error last week,
we placed our old friend, Mr. V. Diehl, in
rather en unfavor ble light. Mr. Diehl hat
jest reached his 7 th year, and he had in-
tended giving WI people of the neighbor-
hood a treat by telling them of his early ex-
periences in this conntry, in Dixon's hall.
The proceeds of the address, after paying
the expenses, were to have been awarded to
charitable purposes, and we regret that
through our error such a worthy object was
frustrated, but hope that Mr. Diehl will
deliver hie address at some future date.

In THE Exrosrroa of last. week we noticed
another little political freak from the famous
Egmondville scribe in which he alluded to
the Conservative party and Mr. St. John as
politicians whose sentiment goes no higher
than a piggery. It seems a great pity for a
man when he allows himself to become so
utterly benighted by bigotted party politics
that he oan only time, or take one view of
anything, probably just because hie father
may have belonged to that particular party,
and therefore, he should too, or else through
narrowenindednesa or ignorance on his
own part, when Sherwin he might be not a
bad sort of a fellow at all.

DEATH. —Mr. John Mosgrove, one of
the pioneers of Turnberry, died at his home
on Wednesday of last week, at the age of
84 years. The remains were buried in
Morns cemetery, Turnberry, on Friday, be-
side those of his wife and daughter. Mr.
Mosgrove was bOrn in the county of Fer-
managh, Ireland. in 1814, and> gloried in
the fast that he belonged to the dear little
island. He was lone of the best, if not the
beet, walkers - Turnberry, and up to a
few yeara ago we hatie known him to walk
seven miles on a bot summer day to see an
old Irish neighbor. Mr. Mosgrove was a
Conservative, a member of the Methodist
cinirch for over Sixty years and temperate
in every sense oflthet word, never growing
angry over polities or scorning beliefs not
his own. H: e emigrated to Canada the
year Queen Victoria came to the throne,
and settled in Pickering township. Nine
years afterwards he married Miss. Mary
Armstrong, of Barrie. In 1858, they came
to Turnberry and settled on the 4th conces-
sion. The Mosgrove homestead to -day is
very comfortable and homelike, but in those
days it was nothing but bush. Mrs, Mos -
grove died in 1886. Of the family now liv-
ing there are three daughters and four sons :
Mrs. Robert Pearson, of Grey ; Misses Mary
Ann and Ida, at home • John townshi
councillor, on the homestead ; Robert, of
Bluevale ; George, dentist, of Niagara Falls,
and A. H. Mosgrove, princi Elsi of Wing -

DISASTROUS lilts. —Early Tuesday morn-
ing fire completely destroyed the Doherty
Organ factory, in this town, together with -
the stable and residence of Mr: Doherty.
The fire started in the hot blast fan used for
heating the factory and as the buildings
were all frame, the fire, aided by the strong
wind which was blowing at the time, rapid-
ly spread. The weather wae intensely cold
and the deep snow made it almost impossible,
for the fire engine to reach the scene of the
conflagration, The entire buildings, to-
gether with' the machinery, a number of in-
struments in course of construction andabout
a million- feet of valuable lumber in the
yard, was destroyed. The total loss will
reach $100,000 with an iminrance of about
$40,000. The town council offered Mr.
Doherty a loan of $25,000 for thirty years to
to rebuild there and he has eccepted the
offer. By the destruction of the works,
about 150 men have been thrown out of
work, and it will not only be a serious loss
. to Mr. Doherty but to the merchants of the
town as well.
