ADDRESS AND Persnnmrrox.-â€"One of the benefits. and by no means the least. derived by being a. member of a moiety was evinced last Friday evening, when a number of the members of C.O.F., Court Fleetwood. and their friends met at the residence of Messrs. Thos. and James Shes. The latter being about to depart to Manitoba, and having been a prominent member of the above named court since its organization. the members felt that they were in duty bound to express their regret and the realization of ‘ their loss at his departure. Various games and an oyster supper were given Ttheir place during the evening, but the ‘event which had the most pleasing and ‘gratifying effect was the presentation of a ‘C.O.F. pin and the following addresses to the departing brother: Dear friend and brother,â€"â€"We. the members of 0.0.F. Court Fleetwood 558. assembled here. desire to zealOusly express our feelings of regret and gladness; regret because it makes the eve of the departure of A true friend and diligent brother; glednese because we can with true friendship express our feelings of regret. We re~ ceived the intelligence of your intentions of departure with a reluctant spirit, recognizing thet we would sustain the loss of a. brother who was ever willing to “set well his part" in promoting the interests of our noble order. and at an ofiicer whose fitness could not be doubted and whose position would seldom if ever be filled by one so competent. We therefore ask you OBITUARY.â€"It is with sorrow that we. chronicle the death of Iohn Stacey. jr. Everything that medical aid and kind friends could do for him was done. but he passed away on Tuesday of last week amid weeping friends. The funeral took place on Wednesday and a large con- course of relatives and friends followed the remains to Zion cemetery. Much sympathy is felt for the sorrowing friends in their core bereavement.

Drsssrnocs F Innâ€"About four o’clock Tuesday morning a tire was discovered in a shed in rear of Dr. Mofi'at’s drug store in the Roxburgh block on C'olbcrne-st. and proved to he the beginning of tilt most disastrous conflagration that has ever visited this place. One half of the business portion of the village is in ashes, but with the assistance of the Peterboro firemen and steamer the fire was got under control. The fire went into the Roxhurgh block and spread with great rapidity in two directions, north and South. The poor fire apparatus of the village Was inadequate to cope with such ablaze, although the villagers made a great exertion to stay the progress of the flames. All the goods of the stores in danger were removed and piled in the Methodist church yard and on the hill at ‘ the head of Colborne-st. To get at losses land insurance in each individual case is limpossible at present.

Delve was the preacher and delivered a good practical discourse. The evening sermon by Rev.
