The Oak Leaf, of Nechc, Pembina, North Dakota, of April Ioth, contains the following announcement of the death of Mr. Thomas Gourley, aformer resident of Lindsay: Mr. Gourley came to this country several years ago with his family and for about four years has run a restaurant and confectionery store. He was an active, intelligent gentleman, a clear thinker and highly respected by his acquaint- ances. He was bore at Lanark, Ontario, and in all of his life his distinctive nativity was shown in action and speech, proving him to be of the old Scotch stock which is ever truthful, honest and good-hearted. He leaves four children to mourn his death, Ada, Herbert, Fredrick and William; his wife having pre- ceeded him to rest by several years. He has long been a member of the A. F. and A. M., retaining his membership in the lodge first to initiate him at Lindsay, and the remains were ; taken in charge by the members here and buried bv them with their beautiful and im- ‘ pressive ceremony on Sunday at three o’clock, , Worship Master Grandy, of the Bathgete lodge, ‘in charge and assisted by members from all over the county. The funeral sermon was delivered by Rev. S. Stone in the Methodist church in the evening. Up to the time of death he had only complained of a cough Which he was taking medicine for and of which he was getting better. On Friday he was} about the store as usual, and retired, apparent- i ly well at about eleven o’clock. Saturday morning he arose, dressed and calling his daughter said he was about to die. She immediately called her brother, Willie, telling him to call his elder brothers at the store while she went to call a neighbor, before assistance arrived he had expired. All sympathize with the four mourners so suddetiy called upon to t with their best friend and protector ...... e deceased had been a resident of Lindsay for many years, and was the first photographer ever doing business in that ltnc in town.

Winters: left for Toronto yesterday morning in order to lay the plans for the proposed hospital and insolation ward for Lindsay before Dr. Bryce, secretary of the provincial board of health. It is claimed that a substantial and commodious building can be constructed eta very reasonable figure. The town certainly requires a hospital. â€"Business is picking up somewhat with the advent of fine, warm spring weather, Merchants report a satisfactory days trade last Saturday; not that any extraordinary large business was done, but satisfactory from the fact that farmers and others parted with their money with less complaintâ€"or, as a. merchant put it, “My customers did not cry as they paid their money over the counter, which I take as an indication of the dawning of better times. â€"-â€"Petty larceny appears to be rampant in the country and many farmers bemoan the loss of small articles of more or less value. Mr. Rich Corley is among the latest victims and finds that during the winter his seeder has been stripped of the drills, and bolts. clevices and etc.. from other implements. It is a pity that the guilty_parties can not ..__.â€"'_ be caught and Brou’gh} before the magistrate. â€"Here is a. clear case for the lawyers to decide: John Hertwick had a hen killed the other day. The bird was killed by a dog which accompanied a boy to an ice house near by. John believes that the boy should pay for the loss of the hen but the lad contends that as he does not own the dog he is not responsible. Mr. Hartwick is therefore puzzled as to whether he should look to the owner of the dog or the user of the ice house.

His wife had been in the habit. of making the necessary store purchases and he wanted .to know why the article had become en cheap. The genial Perry knowing gthe man to be e etifi' grit, eteted that: it wee probably one of the efl'ecte of the National Policy.

The result is that the postofiice waiting room and the street for some distance around the building are at times littered with envelopes, newspaper wrappers, etc.. presenting a very untidy appearance to say the least. This sort of thing is entirely uncalled for,and in many towns is punishable by a heavy fine.
