The Baron was in his 75th year, and news of his death has just reached Montreal. He was the holder of the only remaining hereditary feud- al barony of New France, whose representatives in the olden days re a stirring part in the history of Montreal and old Canada. Baron de Longueuil, who had held the. title and estates since 18- 98, was born in 1856, the son of the sixth Baron and half-brother of the seventh Baron. In 1891 he married Kate Isobel Constance, daughter of John Church, or Carfin, Lanark- shire, Scotland, and widow of W. H. Burrowes. The Baroness died in 1927. There are no children, and the title now goes to the brother of the late Baron, John Moore de Bienville Charles Grant, who has spent his life in England and Scot- land, Lived In Pau Baron de Longueuil lived at Pau, in France.

A hearty invitation is ex- tended to everyone. tell | that great Frenchman, Charles Le Moyne, who came to Canada in 16- 42 with Maisonneuve, This man was the son of an innkeeper at Dieppe (France,) who had descend- ed from a younger branch of the old Norman family of Le Moynes, the head of the house being the Marquis de Longueuil, In the small colony which settled where Montreal now stands he proved almost invaluable, and upon more than one occasion he saved the little town of Ville Marie from the attacks of the Indians. Many stories are told of his coolness and daring and among them is one of how he calmly walked into a war party of Iroquois Indians, and, at the point of his pistols, marched the whole lot into the town. Fourteen years after his arrival in Canada Le Moyne was given the Seigniory of Longueuil, he having in the meantime amassed a consid- crable fortune in the fur trade. This warlike old native of Norman- dy had a large family of children, and many of them became famous. For instance, Pierre Le Moyne, who was born in 1661ywas the discover- er of the mouth of the Mississippi. This was in 1699, and in 1700 he be- came the first Governor of Louisi- ana, He died six years later at Havana, . Jean Baptiste Le Moyne, another son, founded New Orleans, and for forty years was Governor of Louisiana. He died in Paris in 1768. The eldest son, who was named after his father, was born in 1656, and in recognition of his ser- vices at the siege of Quebec and against the Iroquois Indians was made a Baron of France in 1700 by Louis XIV. Scottish Connection Up to 1781 the family remained [distinctly French, but in that year Marie Charles Joseph, Baroness de Longueuil in her own right, married Captain David Alexander Grant, a Scotsman, of the 48th Regiment, ind. eldest son of David Grant of Biairfindy. A younger brother of h Baron became a captain in | the 71st ta wound received at Waterloo.

The chateau stood partly on the ground now occupied by the front of the present parish church at Longueuil and partly 'across the present highway at the corner of Chambly road. At that time the highway ran close to the river bank and was only moved back after a season of unusual high water. The northwest tower of the chateau was located as late as 1885 and was covered with earth by the excava- tions for the new church. The chateau was 210 by 170 feet, and was constructed in the strong- est possible manner of stones, which were gathered by the river bank. The building was two stories in height all around, and was flanked by four towers with conical tops. There was a high gable roof over the building and in the centre there was a court, On- the river side front the cha- teau was loop-holed for defence against the attacks of the Indians, | and it was here that the retainers came in time of trouble with their | red neighbors.

"Look at this advert of mine," bellowed the purple invader. "I gave you an advert for a house to be sold --and you've messed everything up!" The editor looked up and thought for a momerit. "Ah, I remember!" said he. "I discovered that your advert got slightly mixed with an advert for razors--" "Yes!" bawled the other.
