Many are enquiring about the long Marathon race to be run here on la- bor day. It should be a good con- test. The race will be run under the sanction of the C.AA.U., and that will give Kingston some of the best Canadian runners for this meet. A few local runners are keeping in shape and are doing fine work. They can be safely counted on this time to show up nepr the top at the finish. : Junior League Series Over.

The dock had taken three weeks to repair be- fore, and now it is likely to take as Jong as that to repair it the second time, The first time the water wore the foundation under the gates, and flooded the dock.

"Daub" means many things, take it, in this/instance, relative to the application ol the impasto. Cer- tainly the Tife-likeness of nearly all the faodern portraits above re- prosch.

On Friday evening about six o'dock, the body of John Nicholson; Sunbury, was found hanging to a tree back of his house, by his youngest son. 'lhe finding of the dead Wody of his father. was a terrible shock to the young myn, as his fathir had been in excelent health and had nota care or 5 in the world, to cause him to end his existence in such a way. Un Friday morning, Mr. Nicholson took the milk to the cheese factory, and did some work around the farm. He ate a_hearty dinner in tht middle of the 'day and seemed as well as usual. When his son, the only one at home, lft after dinner to work in a potato field a few rods from the house, his father was out-in the" yard feeding tho pius. Shortly after this he cme back to the house and said he was going over to see a nephew, and he never returned. Ile went out to the grove a short distance behind his re- sidenco and hung himself to a tree with a piece of rope. When his ne phew was returning to the house with the cows, between five and six, he passed near the scene of the suicide, but did not notice the bady, and it was discovered by the son a few min- utes after. He lost no time in cutting the rope and releasing the body, but all signs of life had fled. Dr. A. E. Ross, of Kingston, was summoned, and decided that an in- quest was unnecessary. He said that the man might have been overcome with heat, and | becoming prostrated might be liable to commit the rash act when in such a condition. The entire community was shocked to hear of , the occurrence, as Mr. Nicholdon was one of their oldest and most respected residents, He had lived in Sunbury for many years, where he made many strong friends. The de ceased was about seventy-seven years old, and besides his wile leaves mily of seven children, six one girl to mourn his loss.
