McGirr, It was decided to hold the annual meeting in Town Hall, Durham, Saturday June 9th and the meeting at which the delegates will speak will be held May 31st, in Town Hall, Durham. All ladies are invited to attend both meetings, Sing a song of pestilence, a fellow full of rye, four and twenty serpents dancing in his eye ; when his eyes were opened. he shouted for his life, wasn‘t he a pretty chump to go hefore his wife? His hat was in the parlor, unâ€" derneath the chair ; his boots were in the hallway, his coat was on the chair. Fis trousers in the kitchen, his ‘collar on a shelf, but he hasn‘t any notion where he was himselfi. When the morn was breaking. some one heard him callâ€"his head was in the icebox which was the best of all.

Sberring, a Hamilton, Ont., athlete, 27 years old won the 25 mile road race at the Olympic games at Athens, Greece, on the Ist of May. This race is open to the world, and there were about 50 entries. A Swede competiâ€" tion was a close second. The race is a reminder of the Battle of Marathon, 480 years B. C., 2386 years ago. At that famous yictory of the Greeks, & runner started for Athens with the glerious news, and just as he got to the city with his welcome message, he dropped dead. These games were reâ€" vived in 1896, in which year a Greek won the race which is the great event of the occasion. For eyery yard of the 25 miles the course was lined with spectators. The finish is inade in the great Stadium, holding thousands of spectators, and the first racer coming over the hill into yview of the multiâ€" tudes, the despatch says, * bore on the breast of his bespattered rtacing shirt the Maple Leaf ot Canada," He was applauded, of course, honored by the Italian royalties, bhad an interyiew with King Edward, has received conâ€" gratulations from the native land and city, and even offeers of marriage.

Tar LatE Ggo. EwEX.â€"We recordâ€" ed the death of this young man last week. We have since learned that he was only about 3 weeks ill from typhoid. A remarkable coincidence between his death and that of his brother about two years ago from the same cause, was their age : Robt, was 23 yrs, 1 mo. 9 days, George 23 yrs, 1 mo., 13 days, MHis filial thougbtfulâ€" ness led him only last fall to take out a policy in the Sons of Scotland Soâ€" ciety, his mother being his beneficiâ€" ary, Among the interesting items of the evening was the announcement of the Furniture Co., through a delegaâ€" tion that the first thousand dollars of the loan, now returnable, was ready to be paid. A claim for interest was made, which, after discussion, was not allowed. A local improvement petition was presented from Thos. Smitbh and others, residents on Queen St prayâ€" ing for granolithic sidewalk on that street. No trouble in that, but it was accompanied by a request to build a connecting sidewalk between Queen and Main St on Saddls St., half the expense of which they were willing to pay if the town could pay the other half. This was asked beâ€" cause the consent of the adjoining owners cou;d not be obtained. The mayor saw danger from creating a precedent, but a resolution was carâ€" ried granting the petition, it being pointed out that already public monâ€" ey had been spent on wooden sideâ€" walks, filis, etc, opposite private property, contrary to the byâ€"law. LIBRARY SEATRED.â€"The branch school taught by Miss McMurtry in the library room has been seated this week by new seats secured from Mr Charter Smith. â€" This fine new accomâ€" modation is much appreciated by teacher and pupils. Tur HEAVIEST YET.â€"Fishing seasâ€" on opened Tuesday week and many large trout have now been captured by enthusiastic anglers, _ Principal Allan and Mr Ayling have, we believe landed the largest so far, each securâ€" ing one weighing over the two pound mark. _ Both were pulled out in or near the park. Mr Allan asked and got support of the council in petitioning parliament to legislate against the cigarette, cigsarette paper and all the reductive attaechments which are making a yellow fingered race of boys in our schoois. The fingers, of course, are the least of the evils spiinging from this modern vice, whish flaunts itâ€" self too boldly every where. Sxow.â€"Cold weather has been the, rule of late and this Wednesday mornâ€" ing, we are being treated to a snow . fall which will perhaps clear the air. A scared horse upset a buggy, in which were Messrs Geo. McDonald and W, Firth on the way home from the funeral on Tuesday,. Both were thrown out. but beyond a shake up, no damage was done.

John McKinnon. of Sulâ€" livan, dearly beloved as ever daughter was, and adored by sisters and brothâ€" ers. About 13 years ago she was marâ€" ried to Mr Black and six children have been born unto them. three dying in infancy,. Of the deepâ€"seated love and affection between these two only those intimate could judge, The sepâ€" aration so sucden has caused a wrenchâ€" ing of the heart strings of the devoted busband that is a trial most painful, although our columns toâ€"day show that others have been similarly tried : that it is the lot of humanity. Mrs. Black was a helpmeet in the true sense of the word, a wise and deâ€" voted mother, and a warm hearted friend. To know her was to love her and amongst the circle of acquaintâ€" ances, her memory wiil ever be green. Among those contributing fioral mementos,. beautiful wreaths, sprays. etc., were Mrand Mrs W J McFayden, Mr. and Mrs. J., McGowan. fwo beautâ€" iful ones from the employees and comrades of the Farmer‘s Supply Co., Dr. and Mrs. Hutton, Mr. and Mrs. C. Ramage, Mr. and Mrs. Wm Calder, Mr. and Mrs, E. T. McOlock!In, a lovely 8t Andrew‘s Cross from Mr. Black‘s brethren in Ben Nevis Camp. Very sudden and very sore is the bereavement that has fallen on air. John A. Black and his three bright little daughters, aged 6, 8 and 10, by the death, in childbirth, of wife and mother, on Sunday evening last at 7 p m. She had been around as usual the night before, and on Sunday mornâ€" ing even arged her husband to go to church, which he did, but wassent for during the service. Three physicâ€" ians strove to save the precious life but death was in the cup and she passed away as above stated. Mrs, Wau. Kixsxax, The Boothville home of Mr and Mrs. Wm Kinsman suffered an irreparable loss, April 20th last, when death inâ€" vaded it and removed the wife and mother. . Two weeks before she had given birth to a daughter, and all seemed well when some milk trouble arose with fatal result to her, and grief, deep and sincere, to ‘husband, mother and many friends. She was in her 25th year and was a daughter Mary Elizabeth, of the late Jas Mc. Donald. whose widow, her mother, is a sister of Com. McArthur. She was a strong and healthy young woâ€" man and her death proves that " the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong." She was buried at Swinton Park, Rev. Mr Matheson conâ€" ducting the services,. The community grief was well expressed by the presâ€" ence of about 100 rigs at the funeral. Alittle son 2 years old, will neyer reâ€" member a mother‘s care. Other tokens of sympathy, the touch of the human hand, the falling tear, were all in evidence, called forth by the passing of one of the most warmâ€"hearted of women. Deceased‘s mother and brotKRer Duâ€" gald, warned Sunday afternoon of her critical state. drove over, but were too late to see her in life. Her other brothers, Ma{colm and John, her sister Kate, her brotherâ€"inâ€"law Alex. McGreâ€" gor, came over for the funeral, which took place to the Rocky Cemetery, where Mr. Black‘s parents and grand> parents lie, and where an infant son is buried. ‘lhe mother and the still born infant occupy one coffin. Dr Black, Paisley, brother of Johm and their sister, Mrs Arch, McLeod, of Farwell, Michigan, and son, were also present at the tuneral, From Chesley there were present Mr Evans, er, and Mr and Mrs Cope. Meuu‘fl», and John Oswald of Elderslie, Mr Maxwell of Sullivan and Messrs Alex., (broutherâ€"inâ€"law) and Don, McGregor of North Bentinck, old friends of the family, were there. Mre, Colin Mcâ€" Lean. Priceville, and ‘a large number from Mr Black‘s early home at Bunesâ€" san, paid the last tribute. There was a very large attendance at the funeral of townspeople and others, Rev, Mr Farqubarson preaching a most approâ€" priate and comforting discourse. The pallâ€"bearers were Wm Calder, John Irwin, Charter Smith, 8. McComb, W. Beldom have we had to record in one issue the severe affliiction of a mother‘s loss in three homes in our district, Te the mourners we extend all human sympathy and trust Nivine consolation may be theirs. Mothers Mourned. MrsJoux A. Buack. To the many friends who rendered services or sympathy in my severe beâ€" reavement, I beg to return thanks and aseure them all of the heartâ€"felt aporeâ€" ciation of myself and relatives. Jxo. A, Buack. Out of respect to Mr. Black, the works of the Farmers‘ Supply Co., closed during the funeral to allow of his comtraies attending. The community of N Egremont was saddened on learning of the lamented death of Mrs, Matthew Hooper after a brief illness of a week or so. The fuâ€" neral took place on Friday last and was largely attended by friends and acquaintauces from the adjoming townships of Proton and Normanby. She leaves behind her a sorrowing husband and seven chiliren, the youngest being six months old. Moving lately out to their new farm on the 19th Con, among comparative strangers, it was peculiarly touching to see the finer feelings of love and sympathy assert itself in their minisâ€" trations and kindness displayed to the bereaved. Mr H. H. Mockler‘s interpretation of old Shylock could scarcely be excelled, the bloodâ€"thirsty eagerness to use the knife, the rolling up of the sleeves, the whetting the blade, his contempt of the Ohristians. was well shown, while the big step over to illustrate the crayen qualities of his bunuliaâ€" tion was equally well brought out. Seldom has an audience left the Town Hall more satisfied with an enâ€" tertainment than did that of Thursâ€" day night last,. Shakespeare‘s great comedy never grows old, and when it is presented by such a talented lot of young people as we have in our D:ia. matic Club, it takes on fresh charms All the world loves to see the arrogâ€" ance, hate and cruelty of the Jew humbled in the dust by the fair Porâ€" tia‘s interpretation of the law, That happy thought of denying him one drop of blood while he cut his pound of flesh from off Antonio‘s bosom, was the sharpest legal quibble ever inventâ€" ed, yet the series of punishments which, in fine climax, fell on the Jew, showed that the clever young doctor had more than one string to his bow. Miss Eva Mockler as Portia looked and acted the part to perfection, and the wellâ€"known * Mercy " appeal was quite thiilling as it fell from her lips. The other characters were all well sustained. and evidenced a care and appreciation in preparation that was highly creditable. That improvement could be made in a few points may be admitted, but so could it be said of al> most any group, How much better is this high grade drama than some of the low vaudeville sometimes presentâ€" ed ! We hope our Club will keep on, winning pew honors as they deserye, for certainly this was the best of all their efforts. Rey Mr Roach conducted the serâ€" vices at the house and at Amos church cemetery. â€" Deceased was a daughter of Mr Robt Black, jate of Swinton Park, where her two brothers, George and Joseph still reside. The unfortunate merchant, Antonio, who made the foolish bargain with the Jew was T. H. McClocklin ; Basâ€" sanio, his wealthy friend, E. D. Mcâ€" Clocklin ; while Dr F. Grant, R. Hughes ansd F. W, Maylor were friends of there gentiemen. the former especially being particularly demonâ€" strative over the Jew‘s discomfiture. Jessica, Shylock‘s daughter, was apâ€" propriately taken by Miss Jessie Laidâ€" law. while Lorenzo, a Ohristian, deeply in love with her, was taken by Jas, McClockiin. The Duke of Vepâ€" ice, at whose court the trial was held, looked much like our own Robt. Mcâ€" Cracken, Shylock‘s servant, Launceâ€" lot, was taken by L Buchan, Miss M. A. Munro was Nerissa, Portia‘s friend, and Masters Alfred and Albert Mcâ€" CUlocklin were pages to Bassanio and Portia. Misses Rita Irwin and Amy Kelly made most pleasing musical inâ€" terludes. } The costumes were of the 16th centâ€" ury type, and were resplendent in color and make up, ‘The s»tage setâ€" ting was very nice and the draping of the auditorium gay6â€" a fine effect.
