Queen's Lived Under Five Monarchs. George Stunden, Gananoque, died on Thursday, aged eighty-seven vears and five months, In 1537 he and his wife, now aged eighty-six years, left England for Canada. It took them over eight weeks to reach Quebec, and a week to travel from Montreal to Kingston via By-Town and the Ri deau. When the rebellion broke out, Mr. Stunden enlisted in the Roy al mbrine artillery, and did military duty in the city and at Jones' Falls. Later he went with a company to Gananoque, and was there when the militia disbanded. He followed the blnckémith trade there for many veard. The deceased lived during the reigh of five different monarchs, re membering distinctly the coronation of William * JV. When Victoria was crownéd Mr. Stunden was ome of the men detailed in Kingston to fire a sa lite in honor of the event. Besides his widow, six sons survive: Charles W., in Eecott; David, in Brockville: Fred in Kingston; Alfred, an Anglican clergyman in Bermuda; Jesse, a cus toms inspector, and Edward, a con fectioner, of Gananoque. ---------- To-night's Council Meeting.

The Bill of Fare and s Desoription of the BDeefsteak. Perhaps the one feast which elings most closely to the reader's memory is tliat deseribed by Thackeray in one of his charming essays, though how far this may be defined as a "feast in fiction" is a question for the casuist. The piece is, one fears, less known in these degenerate days than it deserves, and a quotation may be pardoned even by those persons of a right tum of wind who know their Thackeray. The dinner in question was eaten at the Cafe Foy, for whose locality the modern tourist will consult his Bae- deker in vain. The account of this dinner is too long to quote in full, but one cannot refrain from extracting the bill of fare and, the description of the beefsteak.
