Death of Mr. Robert Kerr. - At 5 o'clock on Thursday evening, Dec. 13th inst., in the prime of life, died Robert Kerr, a respected resident of the Township of Euphrasia. He had been troubled for some time previous with a peculiar disease of the tongue, which rendered breathing very difficult, as well as painful. An operation was performed on him by Dr. Hunt, which afforded some relief from the pain, and rendered the breathing less difficult. But the end was near, although deceased himself was the only one who seemed to be fully aware of the fact. Towards the end his suffering was terrible, and he frequently cried out for something to relieve the terrible sense of suffocation he experienced. All that medical skill could do, was done; and he was faithfully attended by many kind friends to the last. He was not afraid to die; his trust was in Him who calmed the troubled waters of Galilee, and who said,: - "Com unto Me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest." And so, at the early age of 35 years, Robert Kerr passed away to that country "where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest." He leaves a wife and family who have the sympathy of all in the dark hour of their terrible affliction. Deceased was buried in the Thornbury and Clarksburg cemetery. The funeral sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Hill, Methodist minister, Thornbury. up ii * ai ft -pi A T\Tf A VT/"1~Vn Mr. 1 AU V A i\ Urj. A. II- Fawcftt. Editor. creased i>rosj>erity.

Mr. Samuel Pedlcr will be a candi- date for the office of Councillor for J-'.iikiuiiia \Vard No. 4. He has long and faithfully represented this ward HI our council board, and is a gentle- man eminently qualified iu every way for tliu position. The ratepayers will do well to give the candidature of such an able public servant due considera- tion. We understand that Mr. Henry Hurd of Queen's Valley, Kuuhraaia, will be a candidate for the Councillor- of that Township. Mr. Hurd is good man fur the position. I'uder tiiese circumstances Mr. William Stewart will not be a candidate. The Fleshertim An VANCE has been altered in form, and is now the same size as the I'tat.

The Editor, thinking the gentleman wanted to Mibxcnbe for the AUVAXCK for 1884, lost no time in unbolting the door leading into the " holy of holies," and confronting his impatient visitor. And then it turned out that the visitor wan the bearer of a message from one of the Editor's subscribers, and had no other business. The Editoi had an eye to business, however* He said to himself lo ! here is a chance to get a new subscriber. And he said : ' You do not take the ADVANCE, Mr. Z " No, sir."
