McArthrr, Merchantâ€"Durham, Jan. 7th 18117. The citizens of Durham and Glenelg will learn with regret; of the death of Mr. Wm. Williams, at Saulc Ste. Marie, Mien, on Yednesday last. Mr. Williams was in his forty- seeond year, highly respected and leavesa wife, five children, father, mother, eight. brothers and. four sisters to maurn his loss. Death was caused from inflammation of the lungs and pleurisy. A TEA MEETING and musical and iicerary entertainment were held in Knox church, Normuxhy, near Var- ncy, on Friday evening last. The eatables were pronounced excellent by Inspector Campbell and he ought to know. The select-ions given by the choir were of the most; apprOpriate character and given in a manner that I reflects great credit on the musical taste of the neighborhood. Mrs. Jas. \Vatson presided at the organ in a most efficient manner. Mr. James \Vatson sang a sacred solo most effectively. The Johnston Family, of Durham, gave anumber of musical selections, but felt somewhat “ tied” on accountof it being acburch enter- tainment... The chief selections were “ Saveet bye and bye,” “Annie Laurie,” “ The Mocking Bird," “Scots \Vha Hae,” etc. The rendering of each piece was in the real Johnstonian style so well known here. “nuf sed.” >7 Rev. Mr. McVic-ar was chairman and f. gracefully opened the meeting bv C referring to the inclemencies of the 0 x'eather on the evening the meeting 1 should have been held. He thought I the gentleman who suggested Friday ll night for the social. must have had a 3 prophetic vision of the weather, and C he should be consulted on future i occasions. \Ir. ‘3 m Allan was call- 'l ed on and addressed the meetinglg briefly. Some good advice was given l to the young people which must meet 1 the approval of every sensible per- son. Misses Mary and Victoria Cornish, each recited pretty little pieces. Mr. Watson, the oldest man in the house. eight-one years old made a few remarks wnich were listened to with pleasure. Mrs. Mc- Vicar charmed the audience in her rendering, of a touching recitation. Her services will be in demand in future, and justly so. Such talents should not be allowed to lie dormant. Ye Editor was called on but didn’t out much of a figure in his address. Inspector Campbell was the Speaker of the evening and for over half an hour he kept the rapt attention of the audience in telling them ‘° How to help Nail up the Church .Doors.”‘ The address was practical, and we trust will be profitable to those who heard it. Mr. Campbell. is a good speaker but we must say he was far from being at his best on this occasion. Votes of thanks were passed, the National Anthem sung and a very pleasant evening meet- {:13 was brought t9 a elose. LOCAL NEWS.

THE Fire Brigade was haSLily sum- monesl to action Saturday evening by the toll of the fire bell but happily were not required. The alarm was due to a fire in Conductor Lavelle’s house. Some of the younger children set fire to a window curtain and be-7 fore it could be extinguished the curtains, some bed coverlets and other drapery were destroyed. ‘1 Further harm was prevented by the prompt action of the members of the household and a few of the neighbors. Mr. Lavelle and family are to be congratulated on their good fortune ‘in not losing their beautiful home. The Fire Brigade made all haste to i get ready for action and would have been on hand in a few minutes, had they not been ordered otherwise. \VE regret to chronicle a sad occur- rence that happened the week be- fore last in the city of Detroit. Mr. William Ferguson, the young- esc brother of Mr. James Fergusonfi of Varney, met with a sad accident which terminated fatally. _On the fllst of January he was delivering a. load of lumber for the firm with which he worked.
