Death of an Old Resident Orangeville Post "On Tuesday last another of Orangeville's old residents passed away in the person of Mr. John Parsons, who died of liver complaint at his residence, Price of Wales' Road. The deceased was an Englishman by birth, but was decscended from an old Welsh stock. Many of the members of his family did good service in the defence of their country. Two of his father's brothers belonged to the Duke of Wellington staff, and followed the "Hero of a Hundred Fights" through the Peninsular War. One of those fell at the Battle of Waterloo, while the other was, at the close of the war, given charge of His Majesty's canteen at London, in recognition of his distinguished services. The deceased removed from Oakville, Halton county, to Orangeville in 1858, and engaged in the stove and tinware business, which he carried on for several years. He built one of the first three brick stores in Orangeville, that erected by him being the building now occupied by Mr. M. Lesson,opposite the market house, broadway. he has led a retired life for some time. He was a liberal in politics, and was among the first Reformers to vote in this this section. When he cast his first vote tehere were only five Liberals in what is now the town of Orangeville. he was a staunch adherent and member of the Methodist church. He leaves a widow, who si well provided for, and a son and a daughter, Mr. W. Parsons and Mrs. R. J. McKitrick. His death occurred at 12:30 p. m., exactly 50 years to the minute from the day of his marriage. The remains were interred in the Town Cemetery, Orangeville, on Friday last. [Major Parsons, son of the deceased, is uncle to Mrs. A. R. Fawcett, wife of the Editor of THE ADVANCE - Ed. Note] THE FLESH ERTQN ADVANCE.

AKAIX. >Ve had 1 concluded last week to dis- riWTtiiiue any fnrtlicr discussion of Kust drey political matters mid not allow correspondents to do 80, unless at so much IKT line. Such phiiini,' iiinaccuracies as those given publicity to in tin columns of several county contemporaries last week however, lias iln i u us that it would be impossible fur us to write under onr motto's, "Truth hefore favor, principle* not raon," and preserve silence at the ninu time. In tin tir.-t place we observe that (he firry Jirciew administers consider- able taffy to Mr. McColman, which, coming from an undoubted Reform journal, i> significant. It means, MI I lain Kn<,'hsli, that interested partieii are making n most determined effort to ere tie a split in the Conservative ranks. Of course it is said that all in 'fair in love and wur," mid probably in politic*, hut we ilu regret to find Neil McColimm mlupiiiii' tnctif-t to win Reform syiuii.ii.hy and at the same Liiuc endeavoring or helping to split the ranks of his own party. \\Y arc fro* to assert tliattlie convention which < ! i 1 Mr. Mcfolmaii as standard- bearer of the Conservative party in Kaat drey was not more legally con- stituted than the otic wliicli recently eleotd ('apt llorkc, Mr. McColman forgets, the Tliornbury AViri forgets, uinl the Meafurd Mirror forgeU, that Under tbe now order of tliinga (tide ndvt. announcing cutivcutioni tbc peo- ple are now more largely represented at conventions than formerly.

As we xuted lust week we got our information from a reliable man, but he has apparently been misled, which accounts for oiu mistake. We are extremely sorvy that the MlNHna should have !

It is oiirrently reported that Mr. McCulnut.ii will be a candidate against Mr. Horke. thu nominee of the ('oiivenlioii. We have no authority for the statement, juid we do not think, now that it is tdiown thcro is no truth in the alleged ]Hicking, he will icapordiw Ins future proopec'U by no doing. As the |mi M u: on whose authority we take back, onr former statements has been pleased to Iii. -i name quiet, we do not think would be acting hoi.cstly with our first informant in disclosing hifi identi- ty,. therefore we will keep it to unr.-wl- d IKrror. It will-now be in order for the Thorn bury Ai to make an ample apology to Tin- ADVANI i for its inijiertinent and fitoliRh allusions to us last week. We iwu't tliink ii will again attempt to Mr. Samuel Kingston some time ago iniiile the remark ; "I never gave u Refarmer a vote in me life." Thursday morning the Agricultural Kdilor heard (lie same gentlemen denouncing the Conservative Government and uphold- ing its opponent;* with an earnestness quite sturilin;;. A warm discussion took place but Samuel dramatically |K>inted to the expense of the North- (Test rebellion inproof of whnt he sard. He blamed the (ioveriiinent {or the rebellion* Ah ! Sir Kit-hard. Sir Kich- urd ! you have created the mischief amungst us, and yet, like onr own Samuel, you were once a good Tory ! * * "Say IMJSS,' saitl a friend of the Ag- ricultural Editor, "do you know what I heard from a friend of mine, whu lUied to team grain to Durham in fact did soiuitf. quite lately V" "Don't know, I'm sure," said the A.

"Well I heard him suy l-'le-lici (i MI buyers had bought Dearly twice as much grain as the Durham ones; he also said that your buyers were square men and paid as liiyh prices ax could safely be paid, and that the Flesherton market was getting to be very popular.
