Allison. who was born in the county of Cumberland, Eng, in March, 1807. About 41 years ago she and her husband came to Canada and set- tled at Valentia, Mariposa. After residâ€" ing there for about thirty years they came to reside with their daughter, Mrs. Samuel Pogue of \‘erulam. Her husband preceded her to the better world a little over a year ago. Thongh infirm in body for some time past, she was always able to be about the house. About two months ago she became much worse, from which time she faded slowly away until her sickness ended in death, on May 4th. She was of a quiet, retiring: disposi- tion and her accustomed presence in the house is much missed by the household. In religion she was a member of the Episcopal church. During her last illness she did not complain, but seemed to wel- come death. She continually prayed that “God would make her a fit temple for him to dwell in,” and» almost her last words were in praise to him. She leaves three daughters, Mrs. Jas. Mayers of Muskoka, who was present at her death ; Mrs. John Mayers of Manitoba, who was not present on account of the distance; and Mrs. Samuel Pogue of Verulam, with whom she resided, to mourn the loss of a sweet and gentle mother. Her life well illustrates the passage, “The hoaryâ€" head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the path of righteousness.” Speck! to tho Watchman. PERSONALâ€"Geo. W.

Revs. Stratton and Tucker preached on Sabbath to large congrega- tions. On Monday at 3 p.m. the church was well filled to listen to a well rendered program by the children, mainly. From 4.30 to 7 p.m. the large tables under the sheds were packed to do justice to the bounteous spread. The program was resumed at 7.30, when standing: room could hardly be obtained. Addresses of great worth were giien by Revs. Shorey of Lindsay and Tucker of Manilla. The Manilla choir rendered excellent music. Miss Stratton of Toronto gave a most touching recitation, and the Rennie family as usual were cheered to the echo as they repeatedly left the platform. Besides the above good recitations and music were also rendered by home talent. The pastor, Rev F. B. Stratton. by request of the superintendent, occupied the chair. Hearty votes of thanks were tendered to all who aided, and a happy, joyous crowd dispersed at 10.30.
