The. deceased lady, Whose maiden! name was Elizabeth Ellison, wasl born in the County of - Wicklow,’ Ireland, on the 30th. of J une,‘ 1816. She spent. her girlhood-days in the old land, until 1834, 'when she came to. Canada with her parents, and settled in the township of Tecumseh, where she remained m1 April 1847 when she married Sam- uel Edge. who died on the 10th of March, 1889. After marriage the young emmle settled in the township of Bentinek onposite the Searf homestead on the Garafraxa Road. and remained there till 1854, when they moved to the Glenelghomestead, where they remained to the time of their death. The family consisted of two sons Robert, who died a few years ago. and Daniel, who holds the position of treasurer. of Glenelg. There were also three daughters, Mary Ann N.. and Eliza Ellen at home, and Sarah Jane who died in 1877, l The deceased was a lifelong member of the EpiscOpalean church and ever ready in the pioneer days to lend a helping hand when needed. She saw the gradual transformation of the adjacent townships, as they changed from the “forest primeval” and devel- oped into broad and cultivated areas. She saw the changes, and helped to make them. To such we how in reverence, and when their work is done and well done, we wish them a happy future. We are told that a certain» young man of German descent en- !listed recently to join the 147th :Gney Battalion, and that since his enlistment he has not been allow- ied to come home by his parents. in this be true the pro-German ' parents, living as they 'do under ith-e protection of the British flag. and enjoying British liberties, are not fit to be trusted.

It was composed as followmâ€"A 8 Hunter, Mayor; A. A. Catton, Reeve; J. F. Grant, Jas. Lloyd Geo Mackay, Ed. Kress, Robert Coch- rane,and.S.I{ Saundera Councflâ€" lors. The minutes were read and adopted, after which a num- ber of accounts amounting to $309» 86' were read, examined by, the Finance Committee and recommen- ded for Payment. I A grant of $10 was made to the Sick Children’s Hospital, and after some discussion about money ()de the Public Library. a resolution was passed, 'by which $225 was to be transferred to the library account. ' The Poultry Association requestâ€" j ed the free use of the town hall . for their regular winter exhibition ‘ to continue this year for four days, and also Wished the council to l make a grant to the ass0ciation| of $15.00 as in former years. Thel request was not entertained. It. was pointed out by Mr. Catton that . money stringency in consequence: of calls for patriotic purposes, and l the certainty of further calls for: I it the .co-unc11. in hlS Opimon would * be forced to practice the strictest? economy and would have to reduce ! all possible controllable outlay. As' to granting the hall free, the: council was debarred on account of a resolution of last year’s coun- cil. in which this practice of giving the hall free was td he discontin-; 11ed, unless for patriotic purposes. ‘ Under present conditions it wnsi outside the power of the present' council to meet the request of thei Poultry Association. 1 A cheque recei\ ed from the Cockshut Plow Co., paying abusin- ess tax against Mr. T. N. Walpole, who had the agency for the com- pany, was read, and a resolution passed in acknowledgment as a satisfactory settlement. The cheque was for $8.55 \the full amount of the council’s claim. The Cockshut cheque brought out the question "of a number of others similarly in arrears for business and income taxes, and Constable Arrowsmith was amongst the list. A couple of years ago he was in business for the Masseyâ€" Harris Company, and paid his first installment of the business tax. As he quit business in May and. failed to have his name struck off at the Court of Revision, he was held accountable for the tax for the whole year. It seems he spoke to the council or to members of the council and thought the charge to make payment. In addresssing the council Monday night he ak- knowledged the town might have a legal claim against him, but not a moral, and if the council felt dis- posed to hold him liable he was willing and ready tol pay up “like a map ” Reeve Catton in taking up the question said that in all suzh case: he as a member of the c'm ct" thought that wherever a legal claim existed, the moiey shculd be paid, and so as not to es.a‘o1islh a wrong precl'edent he wnuli ask Mr. Arrowsmith to pay tln account. It was also learned of others against whom there are similar arrears. Some are far away, sep- z11-;1:~‘ by more than half a con- tinent Some are still in tOWn and able to pay; Others have left 1 11 are now in the trenches, and he 1 ‘ ~ collect the moan mm .111 is qu‘te a problem, but an eilort will be ma.de \Iayox Hunter referred to the settlement i1 full of an account for $615 f ° old copper wire owr which there was a dispute or five or six dollars.

An account of $100 from Dr. Groves, of Fergus, for an operation performed recently on Mrs. Baker, was brought to the notice of the council, and payment ordered by resolution.
