Wm. o'Mara's little girl a couple of weeks ago, says a Wallaceburg paper, experienced a. choking sensation, which was attributed to an orange seed which was thought to he wedged into the in.. ner lining of the throat. She found it so difficult to swallow that only liquid nourishment could be given her. The other day, however, she obtained relief by coughing up one of those ironjacks, which child-en take so much delight to toss on the backs of their bands, and which evidently proved the ob- struction which caused the trouble. A contagious disease known as the scab has broken out in Gray county. The disease, as it appears, has its orig- iu:in the Township of Collingwood,and was subsequently introduced into Grey by the importation of a number of sheep from the former township.

The Misses Ormston of Woodstock, while engaged cleaning house, damaged one of the gas fixtures, and the deadly gas which escaped nearly caused the death of Miss Ellen Ormston, and her aunt, Mrs. White, of London, England. Two eloping couples from Brantford, Ont,, were married in the police court at Buffalo Thursday night last. The brides were sistersisylvia and Pearl Detweilar. The former was married to John Morrison, a brawny young ls, borer, who towered above his bride like an oak. The disparity was so great; that it was rather amusing to see John stoop down and kiss his bride. Pearl’s husband, John Reid, looked younger than she even, though she gave her age es seventeen. Just be- fore Judge King began the ceremony the father of the girls made his appear- ance, and for: atime it looked as though he would forbid the bans ; but he fin- ally consented, and even promised to provide work for his two isons-in law.

Mrs. (Rev) Grandy and children left on Tuesday for an extended visit to friends at New Market. They do not intend to return, as Mr. Grandy intends removing to some other field of labor at the close of this conference year. MiltonGerrsrd, of Ga”, who was charged with stabbing Robert Ding- mnn was discharged on Wednesday at. Berlin. The evidence showed that the trouble occurred about. as erorted. The fact that, the xccusod was only 18 years of age and that there was some doubt that the deed was intentional was in his favor. Saturday morning at Jerseyville, Darius Misner, an old and esteemed eieizen of Brant county, ended his life by his own hand. He had been uut of his mind for some three weeks. He went to an out-house and hanged him- self with a chain. He leave, a. wife and a family of one son and four dau- ghters, all of whom are married. Another of tho early settlers of Wat, ford, Lambton Co., passed away the other day in the person of James Cow- mu, Hard 88.

Mrs. Cowan died in 1887. Mr" A. Boomer attended the district meeting of the Methodist church at Gait on Tuesday as the representative of this mission. Rev. Mr. Grundy also attended. Mr. Mathias Karle, temnster for Mr. Pollock, had the misfortune last week to get one of the bones of his shoulder broken by being crushed against the stall by a Vicious horse which he was cleaning. It will be sometime before he will be able to resume his duties. Mr. George McKee, second son of Mr. James McKee of the 9th line died somewhat suddenly on Thursday morn- ing last. He had been ailing for some time but up to Wednesday evening was going about, as usual. An affection of the heart was the cause. He was in his 23rd year. His funeral on Satur- day was attended by a large concourse of people. Religious sérvices were held at the house and were conducted by the Rev. Thos. Grandy. His end was most peaceful. The marriage oi Mr. Jacob Bisch of this place, only son of Mr. John Bisch, miller, to Miss Mary Eisenmenger of the 9th line on Tuesday was. the occa- sion of a very large gathering of the friends of both families. Our heartiest congratulations-and best wishes for a long and happy union are extended to them in the marriage venture. Mr. Bisch has bought the residence owned by George G. Mauser, V.

BEAMi The deceased, Elisa Wallace, beloved wife of Rev. E. H. Bean, who died near Rodney, Elgin Co Ont. May 7th 1893 was born at Boss township, coun- ty of Renfew, Ontario, on February 10, 1867. After having attained ma- turity and very creditably passed her school and professional examinations, she engaged in school teaching which she followed for a number of years, It was while on one of her school districts teaching that she attended some special meetings held in the Palmer Rapids school house Reufew Co., and conduct- ed by her now bereaved husband who had just entered the ministry and was upon his first field that she, being pow- erfully impressed with the truth, gave her. heart to God and forever conse- crated her life and service to Him. The date of her spiritual birth she has marked in her. well-worn Bible, Oct. 4 l 1889. She thereupon united with thel Evangelical church and being JL/tiii) as class leader she took charge of the prayer-meeting and Sabbath School at that place. On June 3, 1891, she was joined in holy matrimony to Rev. E. H. Bean and together they took up their work and house at Dashwood Huron Co., for one year during which time she labored faithfully in the var- ious branches of church work especial- ly in connection with (hsteehetieal classes and Young People’s Alliance. A year ago the changes of the itiner. ancy put her and her partner in life under the necessity of tearing up a comfortable home, severing pleasant associations and moving to this field (Aldboro’) The good Lord and Mas- ter however was also here her friend and Savior. Last July 3. new Sabbath school was organized at a school-house about five; miles from the parsonage of which she took charge working faith, fully as long as health permitted. Dropsy and puerperal disease however had lad hold on her delicate frame so that after the birth of her: now mother- less son, Eusebius Payson Wallace, on April 27th, Every; slight hopes} were entertained for her recovery. During her illness she was always happy, _ cheerful, and contented, expecting soon to be with the Lord. On Sabbath l morning May 7th 1893 at 8 o'clock she 1 fell asleep in Jesus and is now forever l with the Lord. She leaves a mourning ‘ husband with their infant son, her par- ents with nine brothers and sisters as also many in this and other communi- ties where she was known and loved.

Will write you again Correspondent, Dear sir ..---T do not crave, to enter into competition with my friend in the field, so peculiarly his own, of mud flinging and personal nhuso. To mon- opilies I.have long been strenuously opposed, on general principles, hut in this vile business qf alruse I yield at ane to him thrst.he, may smnd supreme and assume exclusive right. The larger portion of his letters con- tains matter entirely irrelevant to the subject and has no bearing on the case in point. It will be seen that my friend, the village teacher, pays me, uneon- sciously perhaps, too high a compliment. He devotes so much time and space to me that he forgets the point at issue. Now, unimportant personages and mom entitles fall over of themselves. He says. "rm dead"-no itdluenee here. But what would you thihk, gentle reader, to have 4 columns of newspaper print poured out upon your head. All this on one who's dead. And how many more may follow who can tell. Bear up patient reader. Blushingly I accept his compliment but could value the prize much more indeed if the fountain Were but purer. If this village teach- er persists much longer in his courteous work and etiquette his own, I fear that trade and commerce soon will stop and merchant ships will anchor at mid- ocean and peoples from all lands, with one acclaim, will ask '. "Upon what meat doth this our teacher feed that he has grown so great 2. why, man he both bestride the narrow world like a Col- ossus, and we. petty men walk under his huge limbs and peep about.” The trouble with this "chappie" is that he is small, yes very small, and dirty, though great in self conceit. And let me tell you patient reader that many people in and round New Dundee. have been thinking for some time past that the correspondent at this burg colored things to suit himself and little clique and made adverse references to institu~ tions and persons that were entirely uncalled for. We dared to say so and hence you have a picture from him of his nature and true inwardness that is a great surprise to all. Signs there are unmistakable, even at this early date, that he has hurt himself very material- ly, perhaps for life, amongst all sober, thinking people, for this, his shameless course. His articles carry with them- selves their own defeat and will I'e- bound upon the author, at a time, when above all things, they are the most un- welcome. Readers, forget not that the points at issue are these-- the "pain- ful pommehng" at Roseville and the snowlialling at New Dundee, of the Rev Mr. Learn. By reading the ar- ticles of my friend one would think, abuse, the issue. Abuse! Why, fools play that part best and often it is said that "fools rush in where angels fear to tread." It is a very strange thing that a young man, a comparative stranger in this vicinity, having lived here only a few years, should utter such abuse against persons and institutions that have been here for years and years. It has no parallel and no other man would do it. He'll reap the fruit the reef some dayI fear. He states that he has not yet learned of any of my neigh- bore having challenged his assertions concerning me. They simply think as I do that your letters are really un- worthy to be noticed. To the Editor of the Clzronicla My friend is very versatile. When abuse runs low, he calls forth some snake story and who knows what not, "something like Pat's snake” or “once upon a time" ke, ke. So that he may run " my whole biography by the time he gets through. Who knows? At least, he is laboring hard and long in the attempt to prove somethin), stupendously awful against me but by his frequent repetitions and stories, I fear, he has run a little short of inei- dents. However, some snake story, my friend, will do, “Pat’s snake story," for instance, or "once upon a time." Surely the. village teacher would not accuse me of something he is guilty of himself. He finds serious objection with me in his last letter that I em- phatically assert "with mulish obsti, nacy” that the Rev. Mr. Learn was not snowballed though I was absent from, the village at the time of the supposed occurence. Does my friend the village teacher work on the line of personal knowledge when he makes his assert- ions. He should, let us see. Did he see the snowbnlling? "No." Did he see the "painful pommeling" at Roseville? "Oh ! No." Did he see me "hunt my hat and make tracks for the door and labor hard to persuade others to absten them, selves f" "No, I ean't say that I did." Does he know the circumstances per- sonally, of any of these things he talks about? Where did he get this errant nonsense? From his little clique, the gossip-mongers the idle tattlers. We have them everywhere. They are the scourgeandmeddlersofsociety.

S. thdes and Jun. Kropf not the very ladsthatclaim to have had their hands in the snowball- ing? Kindly answer'. Let no reader run away with the ides that every man, woman and child at New Dundee and vicinity believes that the Rev. Mr. Learn was snowballed as interpre- ted by our friend. A dozen names and more of influential and reliable parties could be got who, after having impartially considered all the eircurn- stances, give it as their honest opinion that tne Rev. Mr, Learn was not snow- balled. My friends had thought that the village teacher's article not worthy of any explanation from me. But let me state my position briefly. First, as to the "painful pommeling ;" Did you notice that there was no mention made in my friend's last article of this "pain- ful pommelmg" at Roseville. I have made a careful enquiry, and have learn- ed from reliable sources, not only from boys (though boys have always found in me a friend and will find the same in future) that Rev. Mr. Learn mis not even touched, much less painfully pom- meled at Roseville. His charge Hands thus an utter falsehood and bears most heavily down upon our friend. If I am wrongI wish to be corrected and will admit the same. Now why is this , whose good qualities they envy but cannot emulate. Such persons should be tabooed by all respectable society as they are the enemies to friendship and good feeling in the community in which they exist. The reason is my friend has a deep hatred against the church with which I, with many others, love to worship. This is known by all who take any in.. terest in this little squabble. Another reason is that what he wrote from time to time gave pleasure to himself and little clique who peered and laughed at all the arrows that were aimed at our church. Second, as to snowballing '. At the time when revival services, of about six weeks duration, were held, during the closing months of 1892, at New Dundee it transpired one evening, that a number of boys collected on the road after service, who were somewhat noisy. When the Rev. Mr. Learn came out of the church, in company with at least; two others, he said to his two friends that he wished to talk a little with the boys. With this he walked a rod or two to where the boys stood and said to them in substance that they should not make so much noise and entreated of them to give their hearts to God and become converted. He then left them and joined the two friends and they together with Mr. Learn walked quietly home, adistance of about 15 rods. It seems, after the Rev. Mr, Learn started for home, that the boys say they threw snowballs at him. If they did, that does by no means prove that they hit him, especially it be- ing in the night time, about ten o'cloelr, after service. None of the party knew that anyone had attempted to snowball them until two weeks afterwards. By taking the evidence of both parties we conclude that the boys threw snowballs but that the person aimed at did not find it out and consequently was not snowballed. I am correct in my form- er statements and the village teacher has not proved anything to the com trary. If he had been hit with a snow offer the finest range of ORGANS AND PIANOS.
