From our oioii Correspomlent On the 20lh ult. , at the age of 44, Margaret, wife of Richard Fisher, and youngest daughter of the late George Davidson, passed away at her houio near Staynor. For many years she was a resident in the Bri.itow settlement, Osprey. She will bo much missed by a large circle of appreciative friends. Her disposition was quiet, tolerant, kind. Quite recently she visited her Ofprey friends. None suspected her end was so near, though it was apparent she could not recover. She tilled the relation of wife, mother and friend in a most oxompl.-iry manner. A husband, four sons and three diUi(htors mourn their irreparable loss. "Blessed are tho dead who die in the Lord." " That they may rest from their labors and their works do fellow ihem." have been afflicted, including Mr. Buck- ingham himself, but with the exception of the two mentioned all nrj improving. One or two other families in 0«prey are also artiotad to a les^ier dogrco. The dis- ease was brought in from Collingwood township. Stringent measures are being taken to cuntine it to its present limits, which your correspondent fervently trusts will be successful. Tlie members of the CO. F., Fevor- sham, attended divine service at the Uuckii.gham church last Sunday. There were some Sf'.y members in tbe pruces* I siori and they presented a fine appearance. j Tho Rev.

All crops are above tho average, although rust has appeared on some of the late onts, but it will not bo serious. The first threshing of the season took place on tho farm of J. A. Kornaghan one day last week. Fall wheat and oats averaged about 25 and 60 bush, respectively. Mr. Mark Murphy, who met with a painful accident last week, caused by his horse running away on tho Heaver hill, IS improving slowly, bur will nufc be able to work for some time yot.

Both old and young turned out and beeined to enjoy tho day thoroughly with swinging and games, and best of all by a splendid tea prepared by the ladies. Tho heavy thumier storm which came uo in the evening was a great mar to the fun, compelling all to go home at an early hour. Mr. McLeish, of Toronto, has been spending a few days visiting at Eugenia. He canid up for a little lishiiig and preached Sunday evening. Quai'torl.y meeting .'services were held in the Methodist church on Sabbath morning by the pastor, Mr. Balfour.

Tho principal feature of the evening's enter- tainment was an exhibitioa of superior views by magic lantern on tho life of John Bunyan and the Pilgrims Progress, together with somo very amusing colored pictures for the boys and girls. Owing to the generous supply of p-ovisions it was found necessary to hnve a social on Monday evening to got rid of the surplus. The social was a grand success as tar as the program is concerned. A number of very beautiful scenes of China were exhibited and ware thoroughly ap- preciated by tho audience. Mr. Robert Blakestoii intends starting for England this week.
