We regret to chronicle the sad news received by Mr. John Lyons of this town of the death of his oldest son William, which event took place a few days since in New York city, after a three days ill- ness of pneumonia. Mr. Lyons was em- ployed in one of the leading boot and shoe houses in New York, where he held a reâ€" sponsible position, and his sudden death has been a severe affliction to his parents and friends. Deceased was about 40 years of age, and unmarried. The family has the sympathy of all who know him. Another melancholy death of a towns- man took place at Bufl‘alo on Friday last, the result of a railway accident, in the person of Mr. John Fee, oldest son of Mr. James Fee of this town. Mr. Fee was employed on the Michigan central as con- ductor, and by some unaccountable ac- cident was thrown off the platform, and the wheels passed over his legs. He only lived a few hours. His body was brought home on Saturday, and interred on Sun- day, when his remains were conveyed to the riverside cemetety, accompanied by a large concourse of friends and sympath- izers. Deceased was 40 years of age, and leaves a Wife and small family. It is particularly sad for Mr. Fee, when it is remembered that a younger son was killed in Peplow’s mill, Peterboro’, a few months ago. The regular monthly meeting of the Board of Education was held on Tuesday evening of this week. Present, chairman John Dobson, Messrs. McNeillie, Ray, J. Kennedy R. Kennedy McLaughlin, Col Deacon, Walters, MacyMurchy, and Duns- ford. The minutes of the last meeting were read and adopted. Principal Harstone, of the Collegiate Institute reported an average attendance of 216 for November : and Principal Broderick an average of 7 26 with 805 up- on the roll for the same period. A communication from Mr. Passmore caretaker of the Institute, with reference to 5; caretaker’s reeldence, was referred to the management committee. The secretary was instructed to adver- tise for two te ichers for the public schools, one to fill the vacancy caused by the resig- nation of Miss Mitchell, and the other for the additional department to be opened in the South Ward school. applications to be in by the 9th inst. A petition signed by 116 ratepayers was presented by Mr Walters, asking that provision be made for the fifth form public school course as provided for under the p'ublic school act: F yled. The report of the Finance Committee was read by Mr. McNeiIlie and adopted. The use of a. room in the North Ward school wasjgranted Mr. Inspector Knight, in which to hold an examination in scrip- ture during Christmas week under an as- sociation now established for that pur- pose. . ‘ 1',,,_._-.J .-...t.l mnnarlnrr llJOV- The board adjourned until Tuesday next 9th mst‘, to ccnsider applications for vacancies in the teachers’ staff. The sacred concert held in St. Andrew’s church last Friday evening was in every respect most successful. The attendance was large ; the music was good; and the speaking Was interesting. It would be difficult to classify the various parts of the programme with good, better and best. The four anthems by the choir, “ God is a_Spirit,” “I Will Lift up Mine Eyes.” “Abide With Me,” “ The Lord is My Shepherd,” were well rendered and showed great care in the preparation. The parts were well balanced. the voices Were well modulated. and the time was perfect. The two duetts by Mr. Slater and Miss English of Omemee were also extremely a ;the sweet tenor of Mr. Slater and the rich alto of Miss English blend into asing duett. Mr. A. H.

However, he guarantees first-class ice regardless of I--- guaLuaxuvv J ..-..- weather. So far he is succeeding splen- didly. and there is a prospect of a game this week. The question as to the new station master in the East Ward for the railway that is to beâ€"after the eleetionâ€"is the burning topics in certain circles. It is felt that the appointment would be a much more substantial reward for distinguished services than the confering of any high- sounding titles. It is not to be appre- hended that there will be much difficulty in sizing up the claims of the applicants.
