Notwithstanding his advanced yearsâ€" ho was eighty-nine at the time of his deatlrâ€"hc was always of active habits, and his familiar figure will be much missed from our streets. He was post sessed of a rugged constitution and a keen intellect, and was one of the sub- stantial type of gentleman of the earlier generation. The death summons came to him with scarcely any warning, as he had been in his usual health up to with- in a few hours of tho and. Mr. Dickson was born in G-alashiels, Scotland, in 1819, and when fourteen years old he came to Canada with his 'parents, who settled in chfrew county. . He was one of the first citizens of the town of that name, and for many years took an active part in its municipal business, holding, with other offices, that of chairman of the first high school board of chfrew. In 1865 he moved to Goclerich. For twenty years he was governor of the county jail, from " WhiCh position‘hc retired eleven years ago. M r.

The Bellevillc “ Ontario ” of the 24th inst. has the following notico of the Visit to that- city of our distinguished townsman : “Mr. W. T. J unkin, of Fenelon Falls, Grand Master of the Canadian Order of Odd-Fellows, is in the city for a few days, making this his headquarters while 1c is paying an official visit to the dill- crent Lodges in this district, and for the last few days he has been a very busy man. While here he is the guest of Mr. J. W. Boyd, the District Deputy of tho Bollevillc district. Mr. Junkin has a very pleasing personality and is a most popular gentlemen. both in and out of the Order which he esponses. On Tuesday night, in company with a number of local officers and Mr. Goo. Jennings, the District Deputy of Brigh- ton district, he paid an official visit to Rcdncrsvillc Lodge. Last evening he vis- itedgthe Trenton Lodge and to-night he will visit the local lodge when visitors are expected from all the surrounding districts. To-morrow night he will visit the Dcmorcstvillo, P. E. Co. Mr. J unkin is the town clerk at Fencâ€" lon Falls and is a very highly esteemed citizen there. It might also be added that he is Secretary of the Reform Asso- ciation there and has been for some years. This probably counts to some extent for his popularity.” The January Rod and Gun. It is often said that a good beginning is half the battle, and the Canadian Sportsman's magazine, “Rod and Gun and Motor Sports in Canada," published by W. J. Taylor, at Woodstock, 0111)., makes a splendid beginning for the New Year. It is crowded with stories of in- terest to sportsmen, including notes on the last season’s sport in several Provâ€" inces, which must cause hunters to go over their own experiences once more, and see if they agree with those given. Stories of deer hunting in Quebec and Ontario, duck hunting in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, exploring trips in the northern country, with fisllormcn's yarns and mountain climbors’ rcminiscenses, are but samples of the budget of good things awaiting the readers of this ex- cellent magazine. Every lover of out- door lifo must find something to appeal to his particular and favorite recreation, and to the whole of them must come home the story “ Nature's Elixirâ€"and it is not work I " With such a promising beginning, the New Year holds the strongest possibilities for the further success of this favorite Canadian maga- zinc, whose special work it has been to make the advantages of the Dominion in the region of sport known to our people and through them to the whole world.
