Hillis, of Bentinck near Hanover, died last Monday at the age ot 107 years. From the informa. tion received the deceased was born about the first af May 1791 in the County of Monoghan, Ireland. In 1848 she immigrated with her hus- band to Canada and settled in the township of Bentinck, about five miles from Durham where she resid ed till the death of her husband, 18 years ago. Then in company with her daughter she moved to the farm near Hanover where death overtook her. The aged lady always enjoyed good health never knOwing till about six months before her death what sickness really meant. She leaves a son, Mr. James Hillis, near Varney. and six daughters, all living within aradius of fourteen miles of Dur- ham Mr. W. D. Connor in town here is her grandson. The remains were interred yesterday, Wednesday. in the Sangeen Cemetery here. where the funeral was attended by a. good- ly number of friends, relatives and acquaintances. “We publish in this issue an ac- count. of the anniversary service of the Flt‘SinI‘iOll and Markdale Lodges of the I.

For want of space we are compelled some weeks to condense but we can never improve his items. Not only are local matters truthfully, and graphically depicted, but heavier ar- ticles are given not often attempted by local correspondents. Owing to the fact that for nine long years he has been an invalid, forced to keep his bed almost constantly for three years, suffering continuously from nervous trouble, a legacy of la gripp, and yet withal bearing his sufferings with calm resignation, all of which we know, naturally we feel an interest in Mr. Blackburn. By thus referring to him personally we do not wish to make any invidious distinctions between him and our cther correspondents, all of whom aredoing noble work. Mr. Black- burn is himself a member of the I. O. O. F. and is deeply in love with the Order. MESSRS. N. G. db J.

Referring to the low salaries paid to teachers. he recommended as a remedy that the standard of non- professional teachers should be in- creased. and the age of entry into the profession raised to twenty-one years. Teachers of age and experi- ence were driven to the wall. and in- fants were imparting knowledge by new-fangled methods. Teachers" res- idem-es should be established throughout the country, and the grants to public schools increased. Mr. Jordan has set many people thinking whether it would not be worth all it would cost to place school teaching on such a footing that those who enter the profession will make it a life work, instead of a ‘lift’ towards their real occupation in life.”â€"-â€"Saturday Night.

As the law is not clear on some points- thc issuing of licenses in Dundalk. and Durham has been postponed tin- til advice be received from head- quarters. The License Arr (c. 50. 60’ Vic. R. S. 0.) specifies: “' "he number“ of tavern licenses to be granted in: the respective municipalities shall, not. in each year be in excess of the.- following limitations: â€"- In cities.. towns and incorporated villages re» spectively: (b) For each full 250 of the popu-- lation above the first 250 one tavern license but not more than three such licenses shall be granted for the first 1000 of the population. (a) For the first 250 of the popula tion one tavern license. (c) For each full 600 over the first 1000 of the population one tavern li-r cense.” Meeting of the License Commissioneu. The village of Dundalk has hither» to had three hotel licenses, but the census of 1891 showing the popula- tion to he only 691, the Commission- ers could not under the law grant a renewal of three, unless by a special census the town could show a pcpum lation of 750 or over. Again in the case of Durham section (0.) of the above limitations prevents the grant- ing of more than three since the pop~ ulation of the town by the 1891 cen- sus is under 1600. The decision here too was withheld for advice, the com-4 missioners viewing the matter from the standpoint that if according to sections (a) and (h) a population of 7.30 was entitled to three licenses, the difference between 750 and 1600' was too great an increase to necessi- tate the withholding of the addition- al license, and so the matter stands at present. Licenses in the townships where held last year were renewed. School Inspector Alexander of‘ Perth died at his home in Stratiord last week. Mr. Wm. Irwin B. A...
