THRILLING â€" LECTURE, â€" Last week Misses Vincent and Cummins under the auspices of the W.C,T.U. gave three yery interesting evenings in the churches here. With a lantern they| showed some excellent views of English and Australian lhfe and scenery, with portraits. The culminating feature was the lecture by Miss Vincent on Friday in which she recounted her life story. and her eloquence, her earnestness, and a fine voice left nothing to be desired in the telling. She was the youngest in a family where liquor was used moderateâ€" Iy. and the taste acquired in infancy developed with her years and led to terrible struggles to maintain her reâ€" spectability and the respect of her friends. Its growing, inviduous power over her became stronger, she left her heartbroken parents and fled to Auâ€" stralia only to become worse, and when almost despairing of life was brought under the influence of Miss Cummins, (the young lady who is now so closely associated with her in this world‘s work,) and the Salvation Army and providentâ€" ially reclaimed. They speak at the plebiscite convention in Owen Sound, Wednesday of this week. $ * How is your label ? VOL.â€"â€"XX. _ NO. 20.

This is 3.650 miles if the holdâ€" er only goes to the city in the morning and returns home at night. If he goes to dinner and returns again to the city after supper it means over 10,000 miles lfor less than a five dollar bill. Who does not believe the Government should own the railways ?

PERSONAL MENTION., DURHAM, THURSDAY, MAY 19, 1898 On the morning of Monday, May 9, there passed from this life, Merron, the beloved wife of Donald McArthur, of Bentinck. Few women in the township, were more widely or fayorably known and her death, which occured at the comparatively ripe age of nearly sevenâ€" tyâ€"two years, has called forth the symâ€" pathy of a great number of friends. Three years ago her husband died from an accident,. and ten years ago a son, Thomas was drowned in Toronto Bay. While lamenting the death it seems most remarkable that more were not njured. and a feeling of thank{ulness is not inconsistent with that of grief. Our Hutton‘s Hill correspondent will give further detauls. Loying hands soon did all that was possible to relieve the aged sufferer, but it was soon realized that she was past all earthly help. _ She never recovered consciousness. Thus in about three weeks the family has twice been plungâ€" ed in mourning, and heartfelt sympathy goes out to the bereaved ones, who mourn a mother beloved and so suddenâ€" ly removed, Mrs, McArthur was born at Ardalanish on the Island of Mull, Argyleshire, Scotâ€" land, on the l4th of August 1826. In the year 1851 she crossed the Atlactic and joined her parents, who. year preceeding, had settled near Bunessan, in the township of Hlenelg. A year later in 1852, she was married, near Toronto to Donald mMcArthur and the young couple came to the County of Grey and began to carve out for themâ€" selves a home in the forest. They settled on a farm just north of the town where they haye ever since resided and notwithstanding the â€" hardships ot pioneer life, their thrift was blessed with a reasonable amount of prosperity. The chafed team had now full scope, and Mr. Milligan had the agonizing view of the runaway and its precious load. Before going far Mrs. Campbell was pitched out, and when Mr, M. came up to her she was to all appearance dead. Placing her in an easy position, and her daughter approaching, he went on exâ€" pecting to find his boy dead also, but he had held on bravely till the team made a dash to enter the home gateway, overturning the rig but stopping them. When he came up the boy was found scatheless and holding the colt. Mr. T. Milligan, her sonâ€"inâ€"law was driving the team,. one of which, a colt, was a little neryous, and on turnâ€" ing north after reaching Hutton‘s Hill corner, its actions and nervousness so alarmed Mrs. Milligan that she took her daughter Bessie and got out. Mr, Milligan, his son Campbell aged 15, and Mrs. Campbell were now the only ocâ€" cupants of the democtat. _ Mr. Milligan was in no way alarmed having as he felt, the team under control, but the fatal weakness was in the lines which, under the strain, both gave way, the reaction throwing Mr. M. entirely out of the rig landing miraculously in a mudhole, but uninjured. This community was deeply grieved to learn on Sunday evening and Monâ€" day that while returning from church Funday afternoon Mrs. Qaintin Campâ€" bell had received such injuries as resultâ€" ed in her death on Monday‘jafternoon at 4 p. m. She was the mother o% ten children, six of whom still suryvive her, five sons and one daughter. The daughter, Mrs. T. J. Banks and four sons, John, Donald, Colin and Angus are all settled in the neighborhood, and the youngest, Neil John, is an instructor in the State Normal School at St Cloud, Minnesota, She is survived also by three brothers and three sisters, all of whom are well known in this locality. The deceased was a woman of far more than ordinary energy and possessâ€" ed of exceptional will power. Owing to these characteristics, her death was quite unexpected. She has suffered from stomach troubles for some years but herâ€"energy and spirit made her appear strong and even her own family did not expect tha. they were o soon to part with her. She was for many years a member of the Presbyterian Church and led a consistent, charitable, Ohristâ€" ian life. The funeral was very largely attended, the rigs in the procession exâ€" tending fully a mile. This large circle of relatiyes and friernds deeply mourn her death and extend their sympathy to to the bereaved husband and family. An impressive service was conducted at the house by the Rev. Mr. Jansen, the Rev. Mr. Little of Dornoch assisting, > Mrs, Q. Campbell dies THROwX FROM a VEHICLE. FATAL ACCIDENT. OBITUARY. from her injuries.
