M Occurrence near mm W. laceâ€"An Inquest was not Deemed loco-cry. On Thursday a settler named Burke who lived alone on a farm about five miles from the village of Haliburton, was found dead in his barn by a. neigh- bor named Holmes. The body was frozen stiff. It appears that Hoames observed smoke issuing from fiie chim- ney on Wednesday, but failed to notice any on Thursday. and towards even- ing, suspecting that all was not right, he made his way to the house through the huge drifts. The door was found unlocked and the dwelling deserted, whereupon Mr. Holmes, expecting the worst, made his way to the barn, where he stumbled over Burke’s body out- stretched upon the floor. A brief ex- amination established the fact that the unfortunate man must have been dead many hours, as the body was rigid from the action of frost. It is supposed that the poor fellow was stricken with an sudden! attack of illness, and being unable to regain the house or seek aid slowly perished from exposure. Two sisters of deceased re- srde in Beamsville. â€" 303803133 NOW. Many new names have been added to our lists during the pilot few weeks some attracted by the recognized value of The.

There are sixteen clubs eligible to take part. in this contest, and as they are the . champion clubs in the group to which they belong it is only fair to conclude that they are fairly representative of the strength of the curling clubs of Ontario. A great number of these clubs have been in finals before; of the whole number there are only two or three clubs that have not played in this competition before. A number of them have won the Tankard, viz., Port Hope in 1880, Bobcnygeon in 1893, Lindsay in 1897, Paris in 1887, St, Mary's in 1884, \Vuikerton in 1890.

In the morning Lindsay played Norwood and won by fifteen shots. In the afternoon Lindsay played Peterboro, and seldom; if ever, have Lindsay cur- lers been favored with so close or ex: citing a game. At the commence- ment of the game Lindsay had a slight lead. but towards the middle Peter- boro pulled' up, and from this to the end it was a see-saw game. H. Knowlson's rink being behind and T. McConnell's ahead. At the close of the twenty-second end the game was: H. Knowlson 2 down. and '1‘. McCon- nell 2 up. McConnell in this end had a chance of winning by wroking out two stones. but he took no chances and carried out the shot and lay one. In the twenty-third end. Knowlson's rink scored one for Lindsay and Rutherford's rink scored one for Peterboro. This necessitated another end. Knowlson, with his last stone played a. shot which resulted very bad- ly for Lindsay, carrying out his own shot and leaving Peterboro four shots. McConnell had again a chance _by carrying two stones out to make a five end but he was not quite heavy enough and scored only one. Peter- bom thus winning by _3 shots...Whilst UH abcw game was wood pleyri :-. friendly game 1» Lindsay rinks skipped by F. knowlson and J. McAdam.

Owing to so many other meetings a smaller audience than usual as- sembled Friday night at the Institute for the fourth lecture of the course. Col. Deacon occupied the chair and called upon Miss Teresa Benson for a piano 5010, which was acceptably: ren- dered. Col. Deacon, in a few apt words, introduced the lecturer of the even- ing, Prof. Alexander, of the Univer- sity of Toronto. Prof. Alexander's lecture on “ The Function of Poetry" was a profound and philosophical dis- quisition on the essence, methods, themes and treatment of poetry, en- livened here and there by fine. passages beautifully read. The Post is unable to find room the an extended outline of the lecture. but a few cenml be noted.
