This was the second time that the mem- bers of the Assembly witnessed the awful scene of one of their colleagues dying in the House. On Feb. 11, 1881, and, strange to say, also a Friday afternoon, Dr. Harkin, t Conservative member for Prescott, was seized with a paralytic stroke while the Speaker, Col. Clarke, the present clerk of the House, was reading prayers, and died about two hours afterwards. CAREER or' rm: DECEASED. Mr. H. E. Clarke was born at Three.
