the high position with fidelity and
creditably to himself and in the

The ,Late Miss Young. -The Clin-
ton New Era of last week makes the
following reference PO the late Mies
Young whose death was announced
last week. It says: tt The grim
reamer on !Monday Last visited the
home of e_ froraer Clintonian at Sea -
forth, and removed therefrom a
beautiful and exemplary Christian
life. We speak Of Annie E., the eld-
est daughter of James Young, for
many years a respected resident of
Clinton. Twelve years ago they
moved to 8eaforth, where they have
since resided. The mother died and
was buried ;here before going to the
latter place. The deceased who was
about thirty erears of age, had been
a sufferer for many years with hip
trouble, which practically wasted
her y.oung life away. When a resi-
dent ,of Clinton she was an aetive
worker in !the old Rattenbury street
Methodist church and Sunday schpol„
and is remembered by many in town
who, ,cherish pleasant recollections of
her noble Christian 'character. Of
the family but the. father and a mar-
ried sister remain, who have the
sympathy pf their many old fiends in
Clinton."
The Late Mrs. Chesney.-Mrs.Hugh
M. Chesney died at her home, in
Tuckersmith, on Thursday morn-
ing, March 23rd. The deceased was
81 years and 5 months of age; She
had suffered during the past winter
with asthma, 'but had got much bet-
ter the past two naonths, and was
quite smart for the two weeks previ-
us to her death, and had remarked
she had not felt so well for years.
Her death was due to Old-.ege and u.
general breaking up pf the system.
Mrs. Chesney, whose maiden tame
was Mary Pearson, was born within
14 miles of Edinburgh, in East Loth-
ian, in 1823. She, was married to her
late husband, Hugh M. Chesney, in
1858 in Halifax, Nova Scotia. She
came to Canada 46 years ago. She
spent all her married life on the
farm 'syn -which she died. She was
predeceased. by leer husband 15 ifes.is
ago. Mrs. Chesney was of a most
amiable, loving and unselfish dispo-
sition, and was a loving wife and
devoted mother. She 'was a general
favorite with all who 'had the pleas-
ure pf her acquaintance. She never
was happier than when she was rig -

Wedding Bells. -The !home of Mr.
and Mrs. Josiah Tyreman, North
Main street, was the stelae of an in-
teresting event on Saturday after-
noon last. The occasion was the mar-
riage of their only daughter, Alice,
to Mr. John E. Best, son of Mr.
Frank Best, a Seaforth. The cene-
mony was performed by Rev. A. K.
Birks, pastor of the ;Methodist
'church, in the presence pf about,' fif-
ty relatives and friends, among -them
being friends frera Preston, Berlin,
Elmira and. Hamilton. After the
'ceremony and congratulations, 'the
company sat down to a most pump-
tuous wedding dinner. The remaind-
er of the evening was most pleasant-
.ly spent in social Conversation and
games. The bride was the recipient
of very many handsome and useful
presents, which fully testified td
her popularity. The groom is a steady
industrious young !man, with .a host
of friends, who will extend heartiest
'congratulations. Mr. and Mrs. Best
left on Wednesday for Sturgeon
Falls, where Mr. Best has a good po-
sition. The Expositor unites with
the many. friends of Mr. and Mrs.
Best in good wishes for their future
4tappiness and !prosperity.
Unpleasant. -Major Anderson had
a couple of !unpleasant experiences
last week. Towards the end of the
week the ice in Silver Creek pegan to.
break up and go down stream, and,
as there was danger of damage be-
ing done rto the reservoir at. the wa-
terworks, the Major was.busy cut-
ting away the hoe to procure an out-
let for !the extra water. While thus
engaged, on two different occasions,
he fell into the icy stream. The
!bath Was not a pleasant one, but the
gallant -Major stuck to his work,
and everything ended satisfactorily.
One day, a young man of an enquir-
ing turn of mind, ventured out on a
plank near to where the .Major was
working, when the jam was broken
and the lonrush of water made it ne-
cessary for both the young man and
the Major to seek a place of refuge
on a clump of earth about three
feet square, and here they were
stranded fully a hundred yards from
dry land. There was no brave TC8ZU-
ing party on hand, so the Major's
evv ready !mind- evolved a solution.
He got,the young fellow on his back
and waist deep waded to dry land.
However, all's well that ends well,
and the Major still lives to tell the
.story.

The Minstrels.t-The repetition of
the Beavers 'Minstrel show on Fri-
day evening last was an unqualified
suocess. The ball was filled from the
stage to the doors and every part of
the lengthy programme was enjoyed
to, the lull, so much so that each
song was bearily encored. As on the
two previous appearahaces of the min-
strels, the singing was of the best,
with the choruses exceptionally good.

Miss Cora tDodds was a leading fea-
ture. But we have already given a
review of the programme and a re-
petition now would be superfluous.

benefit pf the hospital for consump-
