DEATH OF MR. DAVID LUMSDEN.-The eentlemanereferred to in the following pare- ° graph, which we take from the Aberdeen Gazette.* November 18th, was father of gra. Mee. Wilson and brother of Mr. Robert tuniaiden of Seaforth. The Gazette -says " It is wi'th regret that his many friends will learn to -day of the death of Mr. David Lumsden, Cluny, who passed quietly away_this morning at half -past four o'clock, after only a week's illness. He was for Many years one of the leading figures of the Cluny district, with vrhich his life was largely associated, and where he carried on a large and successful general buSiness at Sauchen, where he succeeded M George Wilken, late of Watereide of ,Forbes, when the latter went to the Vale of Alford. When the directors of the North of Scotlaed Bank resolved to establish an agency of the bank in the Cluny district, they approached gr. Lurnsden, who was a considerable ehareholder, and were successful in obtain- ing his services and influence as agent, in which capacity he acted, with acceptance to the bank, until he retired from business, 4-4 z, , mime fifteen years age. Since then h ' had resided in Aberdeen. In politics Mr. um den was an -ardent Liberal, and a de oted follower of Mr. Gladstone. While at lun he gave very practical support to the au e of -the United Presbyterian church of Mi mar; of which he was ono ot the man ger and in coming to Aberdeen he woo iate himself with the St. Nicholas U. P. congr gation, of which, for many years, he Was an esteemed elder. Mr. Igimeden Was also a director of the Aberdeen ,Market Company. He was ch raoterized chiefly by his pure and uprigh character, el ke in his personal life and b 'incise dealin s. His character might be a mmed up in the phrase, ' sans peur sans re roohe.' r. Lumeden bad reached th a winced ag of 81 years. ,He was pre -de eased by hie wife some eight years ago. He leavee two sons and hve daughters. One of his isens is a dootor in London, and the other ine in the service of the Town and County Bank in :funtly." • ' GOAT Ro es, one anti a, helf tiozen, No. 1 quality ; larg , well furred ro 6 to caboose from at Bgoemuctes13arnese shop, C y Bleck, Ileaforth• l 1017x1 / Crocker and fancy china it A.

Earl that afternoon it b gan to snow, but it w not until night tha it started in, in goo earnest, and by M pday morning over tw feet of snow had fallen on thi evel. Such a he vy fall in so shor a time is almos unprecedented. Sin that time snow has alien almost continuous - Y, while a high w' d has been blowing and he thermometer etting gradually nearer ,ero. It is surely winter in earnest. Al - hough the trains this line have been tinning almost on me, the early train on he London and ingbam branch was locked for several hours on Monday morn - ng. If the countr roads do not become locked, the sleig ing will be a boon to erchants who a ays look forward to now as 'bringing I them an extra large Christmas trade, b t we trust that none of the farmers have ' n caught napping and behind with their 11 work. t • "DAILY MUSIN $ OF A BOY POET." -This us the title of a ne little volume of some sixty pages, consist g of " Poetry and Poems by Alfred Stafford. t The author is a son of Mr, John Stafford, 'of McKillop. He is yet These poems were written at intervals of but a boy, being on 'r about 21 years of nge. leisure during wor 1 on the farm, and cer- tainly mark the author as a young man of aare natural gift . With no education bther than that ob med at a rural public school, he) has pr duced a volume which would do credit to much more pretentious author. His poem are rich in thought and have a good, health , moral tone which can- not fail to interest nd benefit the reader. Mr. 'Stafford has 'n t only the poet's gifti but he is also an rtist of natural merit. who with cultivati n would, fnost certainly, attain fame in that line. Few y une men are so gifted by 'nature, and he seems to have a bright future before him, th in the -avorld of literature and art. rties de- eirinae to secure a Orly of his poe s, can do rio at THE EXPOSITOR office, or from the lauthor himself.

The nominations will be held in the reepeotive divisions at the places appointed n the 19th of this month, and the electione wo weeks from tha date. There is yet very little stir in a of the divisions, and the prospectg are th t there will be a good many elections by a clamation. The ordin- ary municipal elec ions take place at the itisual time. There ill be quite a change in towns this year. There will not be any reeves or deputy -r eves elected, and the town councils of ne t year will be coml posed of only a ma ,or and six councillors,! and the councillors Will be elected by the whole -town inetea' of by the different evards as formerly. In Seaforth, for ex- mple. there is this ear a council of eleven embers besides t e mayor. Next year here will be only e x members in the coun- eil besides the may r. Aspirants have not et oornrnenced to rop up, and no names aye been mentioned, but no doubt when the time comes, there will be plenty of ma- teriallo choose fror In townships, also, the councils will he eafter consist of a reeve and four councillore only, all to be elected by a general vote 'of the township. The ' nly townehips in thts county formerly ivided into wards were Usborne and M c - Sinop. In theae t wnships, therefore, the ard system is do e away with, and the ounoillors, as well as„the reeve, will here- fter be elected by general vote. e BOARD OF Tuene.-A meeting for the urpose of electing 'officers for the coming ear in connection with the Board of Trade was held in the conneil chamber on Monday evening, and, despite the stormy weather, there was a good attendance.
