Mrs. McMur· try w"s born in Yorkshire, Engla~d, July 3rd, 1811 ; came t o Cannda. with her pare11ts 1817, marriP.cl t.o John McMurtry et Howmauville in 1830, removed to Hop<> township in 1840 and sii::ce which time, excepting a f.,w y·ars, she W·th her family resided at Umemee. She was hi~hly respected and beloved by a large ctrcle of frien·Js and relatives. Owin" to the suddenness of her death 0 and the hot weather, her family decided to bury their mother in the beautiful Lit1le Lake Cemetery, Peterboro, nnd on Monday, 9th inst., the funeral took place from the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Ellt>n Choar.e, the body bein~ taken direct to St. John's English church, the Rector, Rev. J. W. R. Beck, b.,ing the officiatiug clergyman. After the service in the church the procession formed and p roceedr.d t11 the c~metery. 'fhe atte ndance of friends and relatives was large, although many had to _ come loug distances. A m ost striking and appropriate incident and by the special request of the deceased, was to see her five sons, William, Johu, Thomas, Jame~ and Samuel, and her daughter's husbo.nd, John Fee, as th ti pall b~arers.

We assure all our friends tha.t we appreciate very much the many kindnesses shown to us in this time of "fierv trial." W. H . WARRINER, Pastor. GE<>. Pr'GGOTr, . } Trustees. w.

There is nothing that cheers and brightens them more then flowers, and not only our little onas but all of our workers. Tiley are truly messengers of God.'s love and care for his children, for if He so clothes the flowers of the field, how much more He will care and provide for our little ones. The flowers were very fresh when they arrived, and could not have been packed better. May God richly bless all those dear ones in their labor of love for Him.

We drove ont to Mr. Robert Collacott and Son's, near Tyrone, on Fridlly last to see his receut impor tation of Shrop&!1ire she p, aud felt well repaid by our visit. Or conrse, from the pre·eminence occupied hy Mr. Collacott among br eeder. of Short Horns, we expected to see that he h;1d something very fine in sheep, but his new flock surpass our expectations ·a long way. They are model animals, " low set, well wooled over face and have a 11·g at every corner." The ram will weigh about 300 lbs. and the ewes will average about 180 lbs., some of them being considerably upwards of 200 lbs. Mr. Collacott hse had experience with Leice8ters and Cotswolds, but he thinks Shropsbires superior to either for Canadian farmers. H e showed us one ewe from his first importa.tivn of five years Bgo, from whose offspring he has realized $255, and she has two fine lambs now at her side. The demand for this class of sheep is growing r11pidly. Mr. Collacott had only reached home a few days when an ofter came from the W est for the better part of his flock. but he has decided not to accept it. We commend his enterprise to other wdl-to-do farmers, and hope to see greater improvement in the sheep in this localit.y through Mr. Collacott's import11.tions. The new flock . comprises a. shearling ram, purchased from A. E. Mansell, a noted breeder, of Broughton, near Shrewsbury- one of the best, if not the best animal of his class ever brought to Canada. He is the first from Mr. Mansell's flock to be imported. His pedigree is given as follows: Sire, The Patrician (1768) ; dam by The Gentlemen (1765); grand dam by Origin (1635) ; great llrand dam by Mausell's No. 16, 1876, (802). Seven ewes from the flock of M1·. G. G. Blanter n, Balderton Hall, near Shrewsbury. Three of them are sired by Trial (3280), clam by Marquis (1598). Three otht1rs are by Lord Felton (3112), dam by Marq uis (1598). One is sired by Baron Felton (2465), dam by Noblemen (1621). Forty ewe3 purchased from tho great prize-taking flock of Mr. Peter Everall, Uckington; Shrewsbury, a man whose fame as a breeder of Shropshire's is almost world-wide. They a.re sired by his noted ;rams, British Workman (2503), Col'ner Sterne (3003) 1md Special Juror (3242). Dams by Second Best (170), Workman (1791), Red Prince (1677) and Lord Carlisle (153). We understand that Mr. Collacott was the first to bring r egistered pedigrees with sheep to this country, but it seems as necessary 11s for horses and cattle, becau~e already he h as knowledge of attempted fraud in palming off animals as d escendants of some of the sires named above that were from less famous flocks. Mr. Collacott was exceedingly fortunate in getting this fine flock to his ho111e h ere without losing one. They are now in a fine healthy ~ondition and see m to thrive on Canadian pastures.
