DEATII.-Last Saturday afternoon,
Nov. 21st, M'rs (Rev,) J. H. Dyke, , of
Bel ave received a telegram 'from St
, .
Thomas, North Dakota,bearing the
sad news of the death Of the younger
of her two brothers; naturally enough•
she. hastened home, onlyto find. the
sorrowful;= news had preceded her
and that the rest of the family were in
ossession of the sad fact. Thomas S.
sonch'
possession
thethird and fifth child
Ball was 1t
of Mr and Mrs Stephen Ball, of Gode-
rich,
rich, and eight or nine years ago had
gone to St Thomas, Dakota, where in
company with his brother,. James G.
Bali,carried on an extensive businessin
hardware, furniture, lumber and drugs.
/Ira parents and the rest of the family
had not seen him since then, until this
sumer„ er, when in Ma last he returned
to visithis parents, eldest brother, Rev
John Ball, of Fairmount, Mrs John
MacArthur and his brother Mr Wm
Ball, both of Hensel!, he also spent a
little while with his sister. Mrs Dyke
in Belgrave, then went to Kempstville
to visit some relatives of 'lis wife,
when with his wife and ;:wo children
he returned to his parents in Goderich,
remaining with them until Oetit; 12th,
when with his family he journeya•1 to
his own home and business in the
west, but on Nov. 12 he complained of
chills and took his bed on Friday,, the.
13th, still his case was not considered a
dangerous one until Tuesday the 17th,
and even then consulting physicians
thought his case a good one as all in-
flammation was subdued, but he felt
otherwise; he never rallied from the
attack, wishing his brother, James G.
Ball, good bye, and saying an affec-
tionate farewell to his wife and child-
ren he resigned himself calmly to the
will of God. Among his last words
were "my Lord receive my spirit." He
died of pneumonia, at ten minutes
past four on Saturday morning, Nov.
21st. Being the first death in the fam-
ily it was a. heavy blow to the parents,
who were with the part of . the family
here, in 'painful suspense as to the
cause of his death from time of reeeiv-
ing the telegram until last Thursday
afternoon, but they : expect to meet
him in a far serener clime.

OBITUARY. -We are called upon this
week to record another death, being
the fourth in this neighborhood since
the 10th of November. The victtim in
this case' is Mr .Duncan G. Walker,
Who, after a lingeringillness,' passed
away on the 27th of Nvember, at the
age of twenty-three. Deceased was
the third son of the late Duncan Walk-
er, was born in Stanley and lived there
during his life, till last spring,when in
the hope of making himself a home in
the fertile North-west, ,he went out
'with a nunber of other .emigrants,
But trouble came upon him, he renmain-.
ed,however,dtlring the summer in the;
delusive hope that he would recover.
This hope failing, he came -back • to
Stanley seven weeks ago,accompanied
by his sister Lizzie, who proved a
tender and an affectionate nurse.
Though tenderly cared for at the
home. of his sister, Mrs D. Smith, he
continued to grow worse till death
ended his sufferings. He was a quiet
and inoffensive young man, steady,
industrous and highly respected, as
was shown by the large number who
met on Saturday last to pay their last
token of respect to his remains.

NOTES. -Mr Edward McDowell has
let the stone work of his barn to Mr
'McDonald, , and the frame work to Mr
Armstrong, both off which are good
mechanics. Mr Wm Johnston, .who
has been in the Northwest for the
summer, returned home last week,
looking hale and hearty. Miss'. Mary
Mcllwain, from the Nile, has been vis-
iting friends in this neighborhood, last
week. One of our young men had
certain business at Clinton last week,
and on his wayhomegpt lost in Londes
boro; we hope he will take some re-
liable person with him next time, so
that he will reach home in safety;
kindly advise Wall. Mr Robt Hoover
has let the job of building a stone pig
pen to Joe Stonehouse; he is counted
on second to none as a builder, and
Bob can expect a good job. !tumor
has it that one of our choir boys is
strongly in favor of annexation, howitt
will be we don't know yet. James
Henry is about renting Mr Whitmore's
farm for a term of years, the matri-
monial fever -has taken him. •
Too late for last week
NoTEs.-A missionary sermon was
preached here by Mr Hilliard last Sun-
day; after a lengthy address a sub-
scription was taken up, the result of
which amounted to upwards of $70.
The revival services came to an end
last Wednesday night. David Ram-
say, who has been residing in Michigan
for the last eight or nine months came
home the other day, accompanied by
two crutches and a very sore leg.
While Mr Shorts and wife were re-
turning from Blyth the other day,
their valuable mare fell dead on the
road; there was no post mortem held,
but the cause was supposed to be a
broken heart. David Cook has secur-
ed the contract of keeping the church
in order for the next year; we under-
stand he would like to form a partner-
ship with the contractor for the school
house; then won't the dust fly. Mrs J.
Stackhouse and family are going on an
extended visit among friends in Guelph
and vicinity. Miss Belle McKenzie is
clothing the naked in Kilgubhin at
present. A little son of Amos u
gees'
of this place, who is on a visit
with his mother to Hespeler, is report
ed to be seriously ill at present with
scarlet fever. While Father McGee
and Thomas Cummins, of St Augus-
tine, were coming from Auburn Mon-
day night, they lost their way in the
darkness, and landed in a barbwire
fence, T. Batcliff came to the rescue
and piloted them to Martin Cummin's,
where they remained over night; there
was no serious results.

NOTES. -Rev. Mr White, of Hamil-

ciates. Conductor Snyder is expected
here at the anniversary services in the
Methodist church, next Sunday. Mrs

Elmira, N. Y., where she will meet her
mother, Mrs Alex McKenzie, who is
attending the baths there. It is re-
ported round town thatthe block
formerly owned by Alex. McIntyre
was purchased last week; and is
to be converted into a hotel; this is a
good move, if true, as our town is in
need of better accommodation for tra-
vellers. Messrs Lee and Douglas have
built an addition to the west end of
their woollen mills, and are putting in
a run of stones for grain crushing pur-
poses, they will ' have it ready for
gristing in the course of a few days.

PUNIM$ .TrE3I,--On Sunday evening.
last a number of boys, or rather young
men, who should know better, disturb-
ed the services in the Methodist church
here. The parties are known to the
officials of the church,and as the law
for such acts of misemeanor is very
strict, we think. that a trial before a
J. P. will have the tendency of bring-
ing about good behaviour in the future.
PRESENTATION. -On Saturday even-
ing last the members of Varna Court
No. 264, C. O. F. made the Rev. F. G.
Newton the happy recipient of a good
load of oats as' a token" of their grati-
tude to him for the excellent sermon
delivered sometime ago in their be-
half. The court is in a very flourish-
ing condition, and much of itspros-
perity is•owing to the clear andr-
cible manner in which he represented
the excellent principle and working of
the society. ,
lc (Ms. -Miss Jennie McCool, of the
post office store, has been absent for a
few days attending the funeral of her
cousin, Mr J. Brownlee. Miss Maggie
Logan, who has for some time been
visiting friends in Ripley, has return-
ed home looking hale and hearty.
Mr D. McNaughton has gone to the
Business College, Chatham; we wish
him success.
NoTEs.-Robert C. McGowan, who
has been spending the last couple of
weeks in Balton, returned home on
Wednesday last. B. Williams and
son have purchased the threshing
machine belonging to J. Bennet; they
intend running the machine them-
selves. James Rath,Esq,has been indis-
posed for the last two weeks, his
friends all hope for his speedy recov-
ery. T. Ross purchased of E. Taylor
last week, three head of fine young
cattle at a good figure. The Patrons of
Industry . purpose holding an enter-
tainment in S. S. No. 13, shortly.

DEATH. -The stern hand of death
has again beenin our midst, its victim
being an aged parent, in person Mrs
J. Grummett, at the ripe age of 79
years. She died at the residence of
her daughter, Mrs John Horton, on
Wbdnesday, the 25th, from a stroke of
appolexy, taken down about ten days
before. She came with her parents in
1834 from England, and ways shortly
afterwards married to Mr A. Osbal-
deston, and settled near Holmesville
on the old homestead, now occupied
by her son Alex. -Her husband taught
school in Clinton for a number of
years, and was the first man to re-
ceive money from the government.
He died in 1853, leaving her with a
family of small children to struggle
on with during the hard times of the
early settlers. She was some years
afterwards married to John Grummett
and lived in Clinton for a time. Her
remains were carried to the Colborne
cemetery on Friday, followed by a
large number of sorrowing friends.
PERSONAL. - Mrs R Morris and
daughter, from near Wheatland, Da-
kota, arrived here on Monday last to
spend a few months with her parents,
Mr Jas McManus and wife. Mr M.
Dixon and sister Nellie, from Bruce -

dso 'dieted with rheumatism she
her two sons, John and Edward,
ho are quite unable to earn them a
velihood, lived together, and it was
hought by some that the town would
have to bear the expense of the funer-
al, but a couple of her grandsons came
forward and said "no, our grandmoth-
er shall not be buried by the town, for
we are going to do it." It is only those
perhaps who are acquainted with the
circumstance, that can really admire
the aespect which those young men
showed to their deceased grandmother,
