We | A WELL-KNOWN WN RESIDENT oF ODESSA PASSES AWAY, Served in North-west Mounted Police Under Col. (Now Lord) Freach-- Did Duty in Fenian Raid of 1870. Death claimed a military man of long standing in the district, wien Ideut.«Col. Thoinas Clyde passed away at his home in Odessa Wednes- day morning at ten o'clock. . The tate Col. Clyde had 'been ailing for the past year, but has been confined to his home for the past #ix weeks. He was an outstanding fig- ure in the county for many years, and his passing is a source of deep regret to his many friends in the city and county. The late Col. Clyde was born in the County of Huntington, Quebec, on January 15th, 1853. He came to Upper Canada when quite small with and settled on the farm known as the Broek Farm, near the Perth Road, Afterwards the farm near Cataraqui was purchased, and Col. Clyde remained at home with his parents until 1869, when he took a course in the military taal which {was conducted under the regular IR/C.R. He obtained a first-class certificate, and afterwards joined the 1st Frontenac Cavalry under command of Major Duff. He next took a course in the cavalry school, again securing a first-class certifi- cate and was taken on the stall of | the gchool of instruction for the bal- {ance of the term. | He was on duty during the Fenian {raid in 1870, and received a medal | tor that service. In 1873 he joined {the 'North4West Mounted Police, {which was organized under Col. French (now Field Marshal French). iIn the north-west he had untold {hardships to endure during the long {march across the plans to the Rock- {ies He was one of the mounted police who helped to build the ori- {ginal Fort Macleod and Fort Cal- {gary, holding the rank of sergt.- imajor, or senior staff constable. He ieame home on the complétion of his term of service and purchased a farm in the township of Ernesttown, County of Lennox, Some few years afterwards he was solicited strongly io take a commission in the 4th Hussars, which he accepted as first lieutenant. He afterwards held the position of adjutant for three years, and succeeded Capt. Griffith to the command of '"B" squadron, later be- ing appointed lieutent-colonel com- manding the 4th Hussars. His last military office was that of brigadier- general of the cavalry camp at Bar- riefield previous to the transfer of the camp to Petawawa. The late Col. Clyde was also a justice of the peace for the counties of Lennox and Addington, and was a member of the municipal council of the township of Ernesttown. that kind, genial nature which made him beloved by the men under his command, and his death creates a void which will be indeed hard to fill. He leaves to mourn his loss his widow, who resides in Odessa, two sons, Elmer, on the old homestead, and Courtland, of this city, and three, daughters, MTs. H. Kendall, of Mont- | real, Florence of the British Whig staff, and Nellie at' home. The funeral will be held from his Jate residence, Odessa, to Cataraqui cemetery, on Friday afternoon at Fl one o'clock. TALKING IT OVER. The Tanners Are Putting Case Up o the Executive.

A ship clearing for for action proceeds to rid decks of all unnecessary im- pedimenta. Everything that does not contribute to her efficiency as a fight- ing machine goes below or by the board, and she sweeps into the fray with but one object, and that to de- quit herself valiantly. Something of the same sort takes place when nations are concerned, only the process is necessarily slower It is one thing for the company of a ship, clearing for getion, to throw a piano overboard. It is quite another for a nation clear- ing for action, to throw a non-pro- ductive member of society overboard.
