THE BRUCEFIELD SHOW.—The annual Spring Show, ,under the auspices of the South, Huron Agricultural Society, was held at Bruoefield on Wednesday last. Tbe weather was very 'unfavorable, being cold and wet, and -unfit for man or beast to be out. As a result, there was only a 'mall turnout either of speetators or stock. Had the weather been more favorable, there was every indication that'the show weuld have been the best held for years.

Carnochan, grandson of Mr. James Scott, of Roxboro, MoKillop._ The deceased luta been in delicate health for some time, suffering from eonsumption. On the advice of his physicians he Went to Col- orado last fall with the hopethat the change of climate might stern the raviiges of the diecase. He was. accompanied y his aunt, Miss Scott. Unfortunately the hopeful ex- pectations of himself and his friends were not realized by the change. The terrible disease did its work all too soon and on Fri- day he passed away. While in Colorade Miss Scott and her charge were guests at the reeidence of Mr. William McDowell, formerly of McKillop, who has been a resi- dent of Colorado for several years. The Patient received every possible attention there that kind friends and the best medical skill could give, but the disease had gained too firm a hold on a constitution never very robust for either climate or medical treat- ment to be of any avail. The deceased was only eighteen years of age. He was the only son of the late Samuel Carnoohan of Tuckersmithetild both his father and mother died of the same disease. He was a bright, engaging youth and his death is a source of great grief to his relatives with whom he was a universal favorite. The remains were taken home and were interred in the IVIait- landbank cemetry on Tuesday, the funeral taking place from the residence of his uncle, Mr. j. G. Wilson, Silver Creek. —We have also to notice the death of Mrs. Thomas Fowler, of the Huron road, Tuckersmith, on Saturday ls.st. Mrs. Fowler's maiden name was Emeline Mode - land. She was the second. daughter of Mr. John Modeland, of Tuckersmith. She had been ailing for some time, but was able to attend to her household duties until about two weeks ago. On Wednesday of last week she underwent a very criticle surgical -opera- tion which was found necessary, and the shock to her syetem proved too much, as she never fully rallied and passed peacefully away on Saturday. She was 41 years of age and leaves a family of three children to mourn the loss of an affectionate and loving mother. Her early death is a sad bereave- ment to her family and friends by whom she was much beloved. The remains were in- terred in the Harpurhey cemetery on Tues- day. LOCAL'BRIEPS. —Mr. Bert.
