Mr. Fear was born in gorthamptonshire England, in I82d, came to Canada in 1834, and settled in Guelph. lIn 1847 he Moved on a farm in Woolwich tOwnship, and in the following year married Miss Jane Moir.

Mr. Fear is a son of the late PAW. Mr. Fear, who a few months ago died in Guelph, at the age of over 96 years We oordially congratulate the aged couple on the amivermary of their golden wedding, and hepe they may be long spared to enjoy each other'l sooiety." Pension Aoeironeo.-Mr.Alexander Scott, sr. met with a very painful accident on Friday last. He was working with a shaper in the Broadfoot & Box factory, when-, in some way his hand got ought in the ma- chine and it was mangled in a terrible man- ner. He was taken to the surgery of Drs. &sett & McKay, when it was found that 'a portion of every finger on the left hand had taken off and the first finger had to be entirely removed, while the hand wail other- wise oat and injured. Mr. Scott stood the shook of the accident, as well as the subse- quent droning remarkably well, and is now getting along -as well as could be expected. mu is the third time he has suffered froin similar accidents, and he has lost at least one finger from his right hand and some of the fingers removed this time had been maimed before. He should now have a pen- sion. We hope, however, to see him around agaip soon,* bright and smart as usual. • PRESBYTERY OF HIIRON.-The Preebyter-y met in Clinton on the 10th itust. Revds. D, R. Fraser, M. A, and Murdoch McKay being present were -invited to sit and delib- erate. Mr. Acheson, was appointed con- vener of the Home Mission committee. Two students were reported residing within the bounds, viz : Messrs. R. W. Dickie, B. A., assiStant to Dr. McDonald, and Finlay Matheson, B. A., who is supplying Mr. Muir's place in his absence. The former is to be licensed forthwith, end the latter is expected to read a discourse at a future meeting of - Presbytery. Mr. _ Fraser, on being asked, seddressed the court in the interests of " Westminster " church paper, when the Presbytery expressed. its satis- tuition with Mr. Fraser's address and com- mended the " Westminster " to 'the inter- ests of our people. Mr. James Hamilton, B. A., was appointed a member of the Assembly's committee on bills and overttusen Mr. J. A. Hamilton, M. A., presented the report of the finance 'committee on the returne of last year, showing an lacrosse in the contributions of the congregations over those of the preceding year. Next meet- ing to be held in Goderich on 12th July, at 11 a. in. COUNCIL MErriNu.-The council held its regular monthly meeting on Monday even- ing. The fire and water committee was empowered to arrange with some person to keep the electric battery in connection with the fire alarm at the town hall in proper . repair. A petition was received from reap dents on North Main street asking for the watering of the street, and a by-law was passed confirming the nine. Provided a similar petitien received from the resi- dents 011 Goderieh street, the fire and water committee was impowered W proceed -with the same until next meeting. 'A grant of $100 was made to the Mechanic? Institute, and a committee cornposed of the mayor, reeve and councillors Neelin and Darwin was appointed to confer with the Mechanics' Institute board to * try and devise some scheme to put the Institute in a better financial state. The/Clerk was instructed to present an itemized account to the Bell Telephone Company, covering the cost of the false alarm on Monday morning, the same having been caused by the telephone wires coming in contact with the fire alarm wires. Accounts to the amount of $584.65 were passed for payment. • • THE BEECEWOOD MAIL RoUTE.-The post office department has decided to give Beeehwood and St. Columban, the new office at Iriehtown, a daily mail service. Thiso would be a benefit to the people sur- rounding these two offices, were the mail carried as now from Seaforth, but the notices calling for tenders specify that the mail is to be taken from Dublin, instead of from here; What object the authorities can have in making this change it is hard to say, unless it is that the Dublin route is about two miles shorter than the Seaforth one. But we doubt if it could be carried as cheaply to Dublin as to Seaforth, as all the people from that neighborhood come to Seaforth to do business. Were the mail taken from Dublin it would be no better, owing to the lack of mail distributing facil- ities, than a tri -weekly from Seaforth, and would at the same time be a very great in- convenience to the people of Beeohwood and to the merchants and business men of Sea - forth. A petition has been circulated and signed by every person receiving mail at Beechwdod and by a large number of, the business men of Sealed'', praying for the continuance of the mail route from 'Seaforth, and we hope the postal authorities will see their *ay pinar to grant the wishes of the people in the matter. THE HOCKEY MINSTAELS.—The hockey club minstrels were greeted by a full house, on Friday evening last and they put up a good show. Messrs. G. B. Scott, W. Mc- Leod, Frank Willis, and J. F. Daly, the funny endonen,dished up jokes, conundruins and local hits in good style, rivalling many a professional at the busineas, while Mr. Joseph Abel, an interlocutor did his part to perfection. The songs by th'e endonen were bright, catchy and well rendered, while the chorus of ea.ch as rendered by the company was exceedingly good, as were also solos by Mesita. Asbury, R. Foster, C. Sperling mid W. VVillis, and a sextette 'by Messrs. Foster, Asbury, Sperling, W. H. Willis, Clark and MoCrae. But the manner in which Mr. Scott talked the other fellows off the stage was too funny for words. His leottire on astronomy was also laughable in the extreme and not only brought down the house, hut apparently had the effect Of, bringing out the water cart next morning.e The trick bicycle riding by Baldwin and Morrison was very cleverly , done while, the hobo drill by the Cuban Insur-- gents "- was good and amusing as well. The orchestra was a good one and theft selections were thoroughly appreci- ated by the audience. As we have said, the show was a good one and the boys deserve touch praise for the admirable way in which they carried it out, and for furnishing a programme which would certainly rival that of any professional company. • STABLE BURNED.—About half past twelve o'clock Sunday morning, those of our citi- zens who had retired to rest were awakened by the sounding of the fire alarm. On look- ing from their room windows they were soon convinced` that Lit was no false alarm, as the glare of the blaze was clearly visible on the horizon. The scene of the fire was the stable _on East William street, owned b MnAdam ttaye and ocempledeby James yrnes, pro- Som prietor of the Union bus. When first this notiped the whole interior of the building Of th seethed to be on fire and by the time the city firemen _arrived, the fire had gaieed such offer headway it was impossible to save the build- show ing and the efforts of the firemen were dir- • and acted to saving the surrounding buildings, supe in which they were successfuta The two publi buss horses were in the stable at the time tives and those whogot to the fire first succeeded in uncle liberating them, but the poor brutes were so will severely burned that they had to be destroy- totem ed afterwards. • The building also contained May, the buss and a number of vehicles belonging for w to Mr. Hays' livery. The buss was got ont progr and some of the other vehicles, but a nuns7 Midd ber of them were burned.
