Al the nnnu:kl business meeting held last week, reiiorts wore handed in from tliedifterent departiiiei't.i ; iiunier leally the Leajjuo is not so larae as it was a year ago, owing to several rumovals. The trc'asurer reported the tiimnees in good condition, there being 820 on hand. The missionary depart nioni is also flourish- iog, nine monthly meeting.'? have been held, and over trtcnty-five dollars raised, the largest amount in the history of the league. This, no doubt, is owing to the f.ict that the leagues of the Owen Sound district have taken upon tlieniselves the support of the Rev. K. R. Steinhauer of li'isher River, native missionary to the Indians. Tlie.Iuiiior League of the Methodist c'.iinch gave an "At Hmno " on Monday evcnin,; which was much enjoyed by all prisent.

While the funeral on Satuidiy was proceeding along the back line an excit- ing incident occurred which might easily have proved fatal to more than one per- son. Mr. and Mrs. Guy Orr were driving a liorsu and bugijy, ami when half way down the steep and crookud hill at Mc- Keuzie's the breeching strap broke and the horse r,n with the buggy at hi.s heels. At the bottom is a ateep cuibankmciit and bridge with a railing. There was prob- ably a quarter of a mile of rigs ahead of the luuaway and .several on the bridge at foot of hill. Mr. Oir says ho realized that the only thing he couhl do was to. nuide.his horse. Whan the animal lirst started a shout warned those ahead and all turned to the left to let it pass. As it swung on to the brid^a all who saw it thought the occupants would be thrown over the railing but they were not, and iho animal dashed over the bridfiu and passed a dozi-n rigs in its mad tliuht As' i'> came up the small hill on the north side Mr. Win. Burnett of the village juaiped from his rig and threw liimself upon the horse's head and managed to stop it. It could not have gone much fur her and avi.ided a collision Mr. Burnett's bravely in gra!jl)ing the run- away wa.s certainly commeudidile and doubtless prevented a most serious ca- tastrophe ; and had Air. Oir not kept cool and skilfully guidrd the animal, sometimes escaping other rigs by a hair's breadth, llio ivmll would have been v^ry serious. The excitement wa.s intense while the run lasted. â-ºMWM-^ â€" . The Color Fund township in the pi-rsou of Richai<d Ben- tham .sr.

About 54 years ago deceased came to Canada, when ho settled in the township of Darl- ington whore he residi-d for 16 years. Flirty ve.irs ago bo came to Artemesia and purolittsed a farm just on tile out' skirts of Fleaherton, where he has since resided. He was twice married.

For a great many years Mr Bentlmiii was somewhat crippled with rheunialisin but otherwise never knew what sickness was. For fifty years ho a cousistont member of the Methodist ehuich and a man whose integrity and honor were never questioned. For some time Mr, and Mrs. Bentham have resided with Mr. and Mrs. Wilcox, and it was fi'om the hitter's beautiful homo that the funeral took place on Saturday afternoon to Floshurtou cemetery, where Grandpa Bjntham, as he was affectionately known, was laid to rest after an unusually long sojourn upon this earlb. The funeral cortege was one of the largest seen here for many years, indicating the deep re- spect in which the deceased gentleman was held. His old age was made pleasant with the tender care for his welfare by Ilia aged partner and children. Ho passed peacifully away like a tired child enter- ing into sleep, but with a vivid assunuiee that hia awakening would be the taking possession of the better home which awaited liiui. (if jg T, J.
