The deceased gentleman was the son of Kenoeth Grabats, of Oban, in the Island of Seil, on the west coast of Argyleshire » Scotland, and was born in Fgbruary, 1795, Being intended for the church, he entered the University of Edinburgh in 1812, but before the completion of his studies, he was induced by an elder brother, a lawyor, in Invernesshire, to enter his office as a law student _ He afterwards passed at Edinburgh the necessary examinations to qualify him for the office of solicitor and notary public. He practised law for ten years with great success, being at the time . comsidered at the head of his profession. ‘ At this time he also held the responsible office of Precurator Fiscal (crown lawyer) | as also that of Clerk of the Pesso. , While His success in these offices having reâ€" sulted in considerable profit, he turned his agtention to a lifelong hobby of farmâ€" ing, into which he largely entered. _ This he prosecuted with the greatest success as a farmer, but with little beneft in a pecuniary sense. . Owing to this circumâ€" stance, he was induced to turn bis atten. tion to the New World, and in 1830 sailed for Canada. On arrival, he purchased a fine farm on the Bay ot Quinte, near Kingston. _ After several years trial, he deemed it advisable to again relinquish a farmer‘s life, which he did to enter upon the Ibusiness of a lumber merchant at Kingston Mills. _ After having been in . this business for some two years, his mills were destroyed by fire, which ended hinl connection with it.

In the centre of these spaces are two hr‘ge stars with white ground showing the Greek letters A and O beautifully worked, in the points of which are pretty little knots of variega ed leaves.
