 m O. W. Butlsdge, Publisher. MARKDALE, JAN. 27. 1887 Editorial Notes. râ€" The Saropeaa war clond is per- ceptibly darker and Usavier now than it appeared to be a week ago. And the main caase for anxiety is the irregressible conflict between France and Germany, which it appears must be fought ovar again, and that ere long. â€" The Canadians of the United States talk of making grand pfuradee in the great American cities on the occasion »f the Queen's Jubilee. If this is carried put it will amount to a demonstration of the strength of Canada in the Uai'ed States, which should and will cause United States executives some thought. In Boston and New York they number scores of thousands while in Chicago and North- Western cities â-  they form a large proportion of the whole population. Canadians in exile do not lose their love for Canada they remain loyal at heart to their country. Stormy weather, Great drifts. No mail £» several days. Sadden (diange, every appearance of a thaw, bare ground to be seen already. We regret ta record the death of onr esteemed friend Mr. Duncan Heron, who died last Monday night 17th inst., the funeral took place on Wednesday, and notwithst^ding the severity of the weather, a large nmnber of relatives and friends wexe present to pay the last tribute of respect to the memory of the deceased. Much sympathy is felt for the family in their bereavement. WiUie, son of Mr Bobt. Crordon had his hand seyerely frost bitten, when on on his way to school last Monday morn- ing. On the 19th inst.. Rev. Mr. Ferrier was visited by a wedding party from Feversham. The party, when return- ing from the parsonage, were greeted with hearty cheers. We wish them a long and happy life. Hurrah- for the girls of onr village I they are not afraid of a snowball. Two of our girls undertook to snowball a married man of our village, but sad to say, the girls were badly defeated. We sympathize with them. Whiz. â- â-  â- â-  Biantyre. NO^W GOING ON AT Fleslierton. From our own correspondent. Again it falls onr painful duty to notice the somewhat sudden death of another of our respected citizens Mr. James Hopps, who a few days ago was in his asnal health when seized by inflammation of the Inn^. and after a brief illness breathed his last ucceas- cd leaves a young widow and several Bmall children to mourn the loss of a husband and father. He being a member of the Orange Bociety his remains was taken charge of by them and on Sabbath afternoon last was laid in the grave with Orange honors. The cortege was large, led by the Flesherton Brass Band playing appropriate music. In the evening the Bev. Mr. Ayers preached a funeaal sermon in the Methodist Church ^electing for his text, "Prepare to meet thy God" from which he delivered an impressive (Uscourse. Dr. Jamieson of Durham the Nominee of the Conservative party for South Grey, in the Commons, is this week iu Fleshert on arranging for a thorough canvas in this Township for the approaching elections. Professor Morgan (who is ^blind) and his little daughter Fairy, are in onr town at present and purpose giving a concert in the Town Hall on Wednesday evening, after which the Prof, intends forming classes for "Cantata" "Little Bed Biding Hood" for children and "Lost and Saved" for adults. An evening of enjoyment was fully realized by about ninety persons assembeled in the vOdd Fellows " Hall here on Monday evening last, being the annual reunion and an Oyster Supper given by the members of that order here. Various table and parlot games ware provided for the amusement of all while the string band inspired all by the swest strains of sweet music. The Oyster department was not one whit behind, the tables were iadcn with good things as it approached the small hour of morning the company dispersei apparently well pleased with the evenings enteitainmeut. It is OUT sad duty to record the death of Mrs. Alexander T. McCntcheon, daughter of Angu s Mcinnis of this ^lace, which took place on Monday the 13th inst., at ilfonO Centre. Deceased was married about three years ago and resided with her husband a short time in Bocklyn, from thence they moved to Mono Centre. Deceased was a very highly respected young woman and leaves one child about 15 months old. Pre- vious to her death she requested to be buried in Temple Hill cemetery, Euphrasia by the Odd Fellows of Loyal Lansdowne Lodge, C. 0. 0. F. Blantyre, (of which Lodge her husband is a member and was the first N. G. of the Lodge) but oa account of the great storm few were in attendance. The Lodge met on Wednesday evening after the burial and granted the funeral Donation to Bro. iMcCutcheon and tendered to him the follow- ng resolution of condolance â€" lioyal Lansdowne liodge, No. 91, C. O. O. F. Moved by Joseph W. Patten, seconded by Albert C. Paterson, whereas Almighty God in his mysterious providence has saw fit to afflict our highly esteemed brother Alexander McCntcheon by terminating the existence on earth of his beloved wife and partner in life, and whereas the high esteem in which she was held by the members of our Lodge severally and collectively and her conduct while amongst us being very worthy of mention, be it resolved by Lansdowne Lodge No. 91, Blantyre, that it causes us great pain and grief to record the death of one whose short intercourse amoungst us was so exceeding- ly pleasant, yet we painfully realize the loss wmch our dear brother has sustained and deeply sympathize with him, also relatives and friends of the disceased in their sad bereavement, and we trust when our dear brother is called away from our earthly Lodge that he may have ttie Eleasure of meeting the loved one in the Orand edge above around the Great White Throne, and may he rest on the happy assurance given that "wnen this earthly house of her tabernacle was dissolved she had a building of God an house not made with hands Eternal in the Heavens to be forever witti the Lord." An aged father mourns the loss, Likewise two sisters dear. Three dearest brothers lonely left. Laments and drops a tear. Hdob M. Paitom, Secretaiy. â- â-  ♦ » v JWeatord Boad. From our ovn Correspondent. The holiday season has once more qome and gone and 1886 with all its tender associations joyous incidents and Kad events have faded into the past. The excitement of the Ontario and Man- icipai elections has abated, and now that the date of the Dominion elections is fixed we loay expect that to be the most exciting event for some time to eome. At the annual school meeting here M. D. Thompson was elected trustee, and at the as me meeting a resolution was passed in- structing the trustees to discontinai the nae of the scripture selections, or so called "Boss Bible" authorixed by the Minister of Education and use in the place the eld "St James" Bible.
