OBITUARY.—We this week chronicle
the death of a well-known former resi-
dent of this vicinity, in the person of
Mrs C. Moe, nee Mies Olive Bingham,
of Glaston, Dak. Deceased was the
youngest daughter, of Mr Wm. Bing-
ham, and went to the west some few
years ago, and while there became the
wife of Mr Moe. She had been ailing
for a considerable length of time, but
on the 24th ult. death relieved her of
suffering. Mild and affable an her dis-
position, she was respected and beloved
by all who had her acquaintance, and
it was with regret that her friends in
this vicinity learned of her early de-
mise. Her remains were brought home
for interment, accompanied by her
father and sorrowing husband. The
funeral took place from the residence
of Mrs Wallace, on Friday afternoon,
and was largely attended. We hereby
extend to the mournirg relatives our
deepest sympathy and especially the
husband in his sad bereavement.

DEATH.—The sad intelligence has
just been received from Park City,
Utah, of the death of Mr Frank As-
quith, youngest son of Mr George
Asquith, of this place, on the 3rd inst.,
of painter's colic. The deceased left
here some three years ago, for Utah,
having followed up the paintingbusi-
ness ever since. His brother and sister
were with him at the time of his death.
His decease is deeply regretted by his
many friends in St. Helens and vicini-
ty. Mr and Mrs Asquith have a large
circle of friends,- who sympathize with
them in this their great and sudden loss.

ALMOST A SPILL.—One of our ped-
dlers, on his weekly rounds one day
last week, called at a house where he
had some of the fair sex to- engage his
attention, and so occupied was he that
he forgot his waggon, and billy, who
can't be left elon(e) very long, got tired
waiting and started for hone. Luckily
for the rig he was stopped before any
serious damage was done, but the
driver thinks it queer that the old
black hasn't enough sense to stand
when there are girls to talk to.
QUARTERLY SERYICEs.—The quar-
terly services held in the Methodist
church, on Sunday, were very largely
attended; the pastor preached in the /� n so /i/

The board met at B p.m. on Monday,
to conclude the business of the year,
being their last meeting with the pre-

Trewartha as representative to District
Meeting, and report that the circuit
was never in so good standing. The
minister was aid in full, and all con-
nexional funds ahead of any previous
year. In conclusion, the chosen repre-
sentative treated the board to candies.

IP You PLEASE.—A number of our
village girls take the morning train for
Clinton, and on wet days are in the
habit of wearing their rubbers to the
station, and leaving them there until
they return on the evening train. One
of the girls did this as usual one morn-
ing, but forgot them at night; next
morning she took another pair, and
left thein there also, but when she
looked for them in the evening both
pair were gone, nor have ` they since
turned up. We are sure none of our
citizens would intentionally take what
did not belong to them, but anyone
taking them in order to keep them
frofin being stolen,would confer a favor
by leaving them with the ticket agent,

long: Dr Tanbe, oculist, of Toronto,

work for a while. The Women's Mis-
sionary Society met in the church

From an Occasional Correspondent
THAT BUTTER.—Well, John, what
about that beantifully marked and
flavored butter, which we heard was
readily disposed of? We suppose that
it must have floated up against the
current, as the butter came off your
road. And regarding the girl and the
basket, which might be very acceptable
to John, we think you will wait a long
time, as there was no basket in con-
nection with "the beautifully marked
and flavored roll."

NOTES.—Our fishermen'' are doing
remarkably well this season; the other
day Mr John Ferguson had the good
fortune to make a catch of a ton of
Lake Huron's finest. Mr and Mrs
Robert McMillan, of McKillop, were
visiting at Mr Rennie's, last week.
Mr John Stanbury returned home
from Toronto on Monday last. Rev.
Mr Marsh occupied the pulpit of St.
Andrews Church last Sunday, morn-
ing and evening. On Arbor Day the.
scholars of our school set themselves
to the task of cleaningup and decorate.
ing the school yard; fower beds were
made, and seeds, flowers and some
trees planted. Mr Frank Geoffry left,
cin Saturday, to take a' position on a
vessel. Mr Alex. Ferguson left in the.
beginning of the.week, to join his
brothers in Cleveland.

NOTER. — Dave McNaughton says
Rufus Keyes is getting to be an a 1
singer; so look out boys. John Wan-
less is learning tailoring with Mac.; he
seems to take quite an interest in bar-
bering also, but he puts the lather in
his mouth instead •of on, the outside,
Wm. Hall has given up the contrac
of removing the refuse of the old eva-
porator. Our village boys seem to be-
lieve very strongly in immersion, at
least John and Ed. Wanless were in
the river for a bath on Sunday. Will
Hall and sister drove to Bayfield Sun-
day; Will says he saw no suckers. Mr
Lang has started a new hose reel in
Bayfield; they all wear long boots.
Notice is given of a lecture to be given
in the town hall, Varna, on May 18th,
by Rev J. F. Kerrin, on "Life in the
Argentine Republic;" this lecture is
spoken of as very interesting, and as
the reverend gentleman spent some
years of his life in South America, he
will be able to speak from practical ob-
servation. Mrs Jas. Armstrong. came
home on Saturday; she was visiting
a daughter at Harrington last week.
Mr W. Dunkin came here on Tuesday
for his bees; out of seventeen swarms
only five survived the severe winter.
The fall wheat is looking very poorly;
if we don't have a warm rain very soon
there will be a poor lookout for a crop.
Wonder why 'tis Robt. Ward is so
much in Clinton; he was there fl)'Vtur-
d and Monday nights. Wilson Cook
an Mr Dickson were n•, for n, want
