In view of the appearance of scarict fever in our midst, it behoves every parent to be extremely careful to report *}at once to the medical health officer, the appearance of the disease. A few of scariet fever, but it was of a very light type, and so, great care was not necessary, but the deaths from scarlet fever this year have been about 20 per cent., showing it to be of a virulent type. The utmost care should be taken not to spread infection, "In the midst of life weare in death". The truth of this saying is very vividly brought home to us at different times and in manifold ways, but never, to our mind, with such tragic significauce as the sad and sudden death of Dr. F. Turnbull of Auburu. He attended the wedding of Miss Lizzie MacFarlane, on Wednesday, March 4th., and acted as best man for his friend, Mr. Pugh. He returned to Auburn, and one day to Goderich. This was a somewhat foolhardy act, as the river was rather Oc-| high and the current running swiftly. The boat was capsized and Frank was hurled into the icy water. He was a strorig swimmer, and succeeded in ob- tainiuga hold on the upturned canve. He was observed, and rescued by two young men who rowed out and brought him to land, where the doctors worked on him for hours, but all to no purpose. The shock to his system was too grest, and he died as a result of his long sub- mersion in the ice-cold water. The sad event cast a gloom over the whole com- munity, Dr. Turnbull was highly es- teemed by ail who knew him. He had just sold his practice at Auburn, aud intended taking a post graduate course in some of the Enropean universities. He was well known to many in these parts, having spent some considerable $me with Dr. Rutherford of Listowel gran sugar, 25 lbs, for $1.00, Gray, Hernie &- Main street east. They are both suc- pen J.

Brown, ob Sature day, March 14th, winged its fight from the frail tenement of flesh it hed ocenp- ied for 64 years, Mr. Brown had been for some sears a sufferer from asthma but it was only about a year ago that the dread disease, consumption of thé spine, took hold of him. This condition of the spine was no doubt caused by. an injury which he recerved many years @go, and as he was aman who did net desire to be idle, the injury was accent uated and in the course of time prode- ed its natural result. Mr. Brown suffer- | ed intensely; to what extent none. set= ually know, but at last his poor, tired body was released from its great pain The widow and family were unremift =~ ting in their attendance upon the suffer. er and did all that humaa skilt' conid devise to ease his paiu. The sympathy of the whole communi-y goes out te them in the-hour uf their bereavement. 4 Mr. Browo was born in Nottingham, England, in the year 1830. He camete this country when nine years old and lived in Erramosa township, neat -- Guelph, till ths year 1830, when he mar: _ Tied Louise Gibson. Heand his wifé then lived within a short distance of Gueiph for five years, then moved t Oxford County. After residing in that' ' where Mr. Brown invested quite largely _ in real estate and built the house now? occupied by the family. He was thus resident of our village for nearly twenty _ five years, during which time he made many and lasting frieudships. To Mf and Mrs, Brown there were born thits teen children, six girls and seveti boys. The girls are Louise, (Mrs. S. Forrest of Fort William) ; Jemima, (Mrs. W. Dy Yeo, Woodstock) ; Fanny, (Mra, Ben Candler) ; Mabel, deceased; Ethel = Lottie, at home, The boy are, E James, Thomas of Woodstock, Jot decWased, Fred and George, at home and Johnson, deceased. survived by one sister, Mrs. Burrell of -- Trout Lake, B.C., who was able to be al his side for more than a month beforé he died and did much to hghbten the heavy burden of the afilicted Yamily. Mr. Brown was'of a very retiring dis position, a kind and indulgent husband and father, a true friend and law-abid: -- ing citizen, His death leaves a vacane¥ in the family hard to fill, The fuuerai on Monday, March 16th, was largely attended. The service was couducted by the Rev, Mr. Tenhall, assisted by Rev, Dr. McLeod. The pall beareré were close friends of the deceased, Mea- sra, Robertson, Greenside, May, Aru« old and Donaldson, Thusdo we cope stantly receive reminders thac our hold_ on life is very frail, and to Mr, Drowa death no doubt came as a blessed relief to his pain-racked body. One of the sad features of the funeral was the fact that two daughters were unuble to pam ticipate in the last sad rites, Lottie be ing confined toher room through ilk ness and Fanny (Mrs.Ben Candler) hav} ing to remain in her home, owing te her daughier being ill with scartes -- fever, 2 I Coughed "*] had a most stubborn SA for many years.
