This however. was alto- gether void of those touching words of “ good bye ” so often heard on oc- casions of this kind. His subject was '° 1 am Alpha and Omega the be- ginning and the end the first and the last In his parting remarks which consisted of only one or two sen- tences. he eXpressed his desire to end as he began with simply preaching ChriSt, and exhorted all to read their Bibles so as to find Christ in every‘ part of it. We may say for Mr. Pom- eroy that he is a scholar and student and possessed of large sym- pathies, thus he is able to put head and heart into all his teachings. We take pleasure in commending him to the kind consideration of those amongst whom he will labor in the future. 500 bushels of lime for sale 3’). 2nd con., r1gremout..-â€" IT is with a deep feeling of regret I. we cltn-nicle this week the death of a Mr. Jus.

Besides the members df the lodge here there wasa number‘ from Mt. Forest, Walkerton and other places. The Band led the long procession playing the Dead March.

After sickness of any kind. ,com- plate and speedy recovery is insured by the use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. It expels all disease-germs which may be lurking in the system, and re- stores tone and efficiency to every organ of the body. It is the best summer medicine. A VERY sad accident occurred last week on the Durham branch of the G T. R,, a short distance south of Holstein. A young “Home boy ” about fifteen years of age was sent out to keep crows from a corn field near by, and finding a good supply of small stones on the track he sat down on the rails and it is supposed fell asleep. when he Was run over by a special engine and tender backing up to Holstein from Mt. Forest. The engineer Saw nothing of him until his return with a freight car when he was run over a second time. The l horribly mangled form presented a 1 sickening appearance strewn along the track with the head severed com- pletely from the body. We are in- formed that the day previous while similarly engaged he was seen lying across the rails and was warned by a neighbor of the danger.

The neighbors of Mrs. John Calvert l sympthise very much with her who was so unfortunate as to meet with so serious an accident as to fall and get ‘ her two arms broken at Durham on! the 22nd. Under the care of Dr. Jamieson it is said that she is im- proving favorably. The patient be- ing up in years is somewhat unfavor- able. She is expected to be in a position to be moved to her home at Orchardville in a few days as she is at present at her daughter’s in Dur- lham. Mr. William Barton, of the $00, is visiting at his; father’s in Normanby. Rev. Mr. Stewart, of Durham, preached to a full house in the Bap- tist church here last Sunday evening.

Mr. Clark is still appointed the very able preacher at this station.
