•
A Negev lieese.-Mr. Loftus Stark, of
this town, has a nobby house, but unfortun-
ately it is too small for most ordinary folk
to -dwell in. It was made, and designed by
Mrs. Stark's father; thelate MarsdensSmith,
of Brussels, and was presented to Mrs.
Stark by him. It is a complete model of a
modern residence, with everything from
chimneys, lightning rods and eave troughs
down to doors, windows, Verandas, bay and
gable windows, etc., while the roof is cov-
ered with varia•colored and sparkling pieces
of gloss. The whole is indeed a wink of
art and showed that the builder was posa
sessed with tiot only ingenuity but great
rachanical skill and patience.

SAD DEATH. -A . particularly sad death
occurred early Tuesday morning, when
Alfred W. Hammett, son of Mr. Richard
Hammett, of this town, passed over to the
silent majority at the early age of 17 years
and 10 months. About a week previous to
his death he caught a cold, which developed
into quinsy, and from that into lung trou-
ble, causing death. He wae a student at
the Seaforth Collegiate Inatitute, and was a
particular favoriteevvith all, and his school
mates were deeply grieved on learning of
his early cutting off,' and no person will be
more greatly mined around the school or on
the play grounds by his friends than the
deceased. The afflicted family have the
sincere sympathy of all in this their severe
and trying affliction. The remains were in-
terred in the Maitlandbank cemetery on
Thursday. The following( verses were com-
posed by one of his boy friends, and.cenvey,
to sonie extent, the esteem which they had
for the deceased and their sorrow at his
death
One of our members is at rest,
He has answered the Judgment call ;
He's now among the angels blest,
A departure mourned by all.
He will be sorely missed by us.
But he is far from this world's care ;
And, by the grace of God, we trust
That some day we will meet him there.
He was the same with all the boys,
Always so noble aod so true,
He thared our pleasures and our jug,
A better friend I never knew.
He always helpekl the weaker side,
His hand ready when troubles rise ;
To him ow: trials we would confide,
Because we knew he'd sympathize.
Little thought n'e two weeks ago
Bis race on earth was nearly 'run ;
Lord strengthen us to bear the blow,
Help us to say " Tny will be done."
His voice alwaYs defended right,
To a good cause his hend he'd lend ;
He'd enter in with all his might,
And follow it throughito the end.
Well do I rercember the walks
That we together used to take ;
Well do I remember the talks
About the plans we used to make.
That he is missed we all eita see,
Dear Jake is dead and gone to Heaven ;
I know you all will say with me,
A truer friend -bas ne'er been given.

A CELEBRATED CASE. -The now much
argued case of the Holmesville creamery has
had another airing in the divisional court
at Toronto, in Beattie vs. Holmes. D. L.
McCarthy, for -defendent, appealed from
order of Meredith, C. J., in Chambers, dia-
miesing motion by appellant for prohibition
to the third division court in the county of
Huron against the enforcement of a judg-
ment remeered against the appellanta for
$13.39. John Hannah, being insolvent, and
indebted to a number of persons called the
" Holinesville Patrons," transferred 11,000
pounds of butter to D. D. Wilson in trust
for these patrons, of whom defendant was
one. Wilson sold the butter and distributed
the proceeds among the patrons, the defend-
ant's share being $13.39. The claim of the
plaintiff was to recover $13.39, and the par -
titulars stated that it " was made by the
flaintiff as assignee of the estate of John

to acknowledge the receipt of a nicely illus-
trated copy of the Marquette Reporter from
Mr. Mc -Naught, M. P. P., of Rapid City,

omen of dill, greater things in the future
that with all iMr. McNaught's prosperity,
he has still a kindly sympathy for the men
of his former craft. -Communion services
will be held in our church on the first Sab-
bath of March. Preparatory sermon on the
Friday previous by the Rev. Mr. Hamilton,
a LorglOsborce, and thanksgiving on - the
for repayment by defendant, Joseph G.
Holmes, of Goderich township, of the sum
of $13.39, being the amount paid to him out
of the butter transferred on the 4th of Aug-
ust, 1894, by the said John Hannah, said
transfer end payment being an unjust
preference; and void as against the plaintiff,
as such astignee as aforesaid, having been
made within sixty days of the assignment
for the benefit of creditors of ths said John
Hannah." Judge Doyle, presiding in the
division court, held that he had jurisdietion,
and determined that the transfer of the
butter was a fraudulent preference within
the meaning of R. S. 0 , 1897, chapter 147,
and vitee judgment for the plaintiff ; the
defendant applied for a new trial, and his
application was' dismissed. The defendant
paid the amount of the judgment debt and
costs to the clerk of division court under
protest,and then moved for prohibition. The
Judge in Chambers held that the claim was
in effect for money received by defendant to
the plaintiff's rise, and -that the jurisdiction
of the division court was not ousted ; and
also that, as the cost of the jurisdiction did
not appear on the face of the proceediogs,
and the defendant had satisfied that judg-
ment by payment, there was nothing. now
to -prohibit, Aylesworth, Q.C.,for plaintiff,
supported the decision. The appeal is. now'
dismissed with costs.

OBITUARY. -A more melancholy death
than that which oecured on the 17th con-
ceasion of Howicke Friday morning, coOld
hardly be conceived. The victim was Mr.
George Inglis, a 'ID ighly esteemed young
farmer, ab the age of about 30. On Satur-
day of last week he was in our hamlet here
with a load of chop and that night became
sick. A doctor was immediately called from
Clifford and no serious results were antici-
pated. •On Thursday it was thought he was
improving nicely, but on.Friday morning he
took a change for the worse and at 7 o'clock
on Friday morning he was a corpse. An
attack of pneumonia appears to have been
the trouble. Last March through these
notes we announced' the marriage of the de-
ceased to an estimable young lady of the
vicinity, then a Miss Minnie Bell, and the
well -wishes of a community then for a hap-
py and a long life together were as sincere
as is now their sympathy. Only two weeks
ago the father of the deceased was a corpse,
and this double bereavement is indeed hard
to bear by the relatives. The deceased
leaves behind him his young wife, an infant
son, born the morning of his father's funeral,
two brothers and six sisters, whose affliction
has moved to tears a sorrowing and sym-
pathetic community. The funeral on Sunday
- to the McIntosh cemetery mas an exception-
ally large one, a whole township turning out
to show their genuine sympathy for the
bereaved.
NOTES. -The dog tax in Howlett has been
done away with, so we are told. Mr.
Rounick, of the boundary, presented a vol-
uminously signed petition to the council and
the latter complied with the wishes of the
people. It 'would have been a good idea if it
could have been done to tax the curs in the
burghs and villages as there are altogether
too many of them hanging round and into
.
mischief, and in many oases what they eat
could be put to better usee-The political
meeting held here a week ago last Wednes-
day was well attended, and the speakera
were Messrs. Hislop and Irwin for the Gov-
ernment, and Mr. Mooney and Dr. Chisholm,
for the Opposition. Quite a pumber of
things got a thorough threshing out. The
fwo candidates here are good men and it is
admitted Jai both parties that for a young
man Mr. Hislops, oraeker.-Mr. J. R.
Aitchison, of Clifford, late of Seaforth, is
leaving a good impression on the people of
that place and vicinity. -Mr. Wat lPomeroy
is buying cattle an& hogs for Mr. Dulmage.
-Mr. ,Hugh Halladay, of the 16th, pur-
chased a very fine span of horses recently.
He paid over $200 for them.

PARTIES. -The party at the residence of
Mr. Wm. Hudson; 7th concession, was a
grand succeas. Two sleigh loads froth near
Kippen assembled early m the evening and
passed the time pleasantly with danoing
and games. The same evening there was a
party at Mr. W. J. Hu.dson's, when a num-
ber of young people from Egmondville as-
sembled. The time paned off most pleas-
antly and all -present thoroughly enjoyed
themselves.
