The funeral took place at Owen Sound on Tuesday. The North Renfrew bye e'ection takes place on Saturd ly next. Much interest IS cen'red on I his contest is the fate of the two political parlies pructicaV.y hang upon the result. . More strenuous ctTorts prob.alily, have lieeti put forth by both parties in this c>>ntest than in any politi- cal tijbl ill recent years, and party feeling runs very high in tho riding. A very pleasant event occurred on the eveninj of Wednesday, Deo. 1(5 h , at Mount rieivsaiit, Inlstiosje, the resid- ence of Mr. ani .Mrs.i.teorgj Moore, wlien their daughter, Frances, «a< unitetl in inaniage lo .Mr. Claude .Vikeiis of Klesh- eiton, i y Her.

At a meeting of those interested on Saturday eveninij it was decided that the Methodist Sui.d^y school will hold their usual Sunday school anil iver.sary on the evening of New Year's day. The time is short and some hustling will have to be done, but those upon whom the work devolves are no doubt prepared, for it. The only new thing to report ia muni- cipal matters here this week is the retire- ment of Mr. Duekett a^id tlie insertion of Mr. Be-st's card. The ballot will be an unusually large one this y^'ar and it ivould be a pretty hard matter to put yourSngor on all the coniini; members of Ariemesia council for next, year, although many are trying the experiment. We liava it s mgniuely a.sserted that at lea^^t throe men wiil he elected to tiie reeve- ship. As this is obviously an impossibil- ity there must bo soma bad guessers somewhere.
