The long and aggravating delay compelled the company to ob- tain other means of financing their business tham that of a loan running the gauntlet of the courts and the legislatiure. The «result was that when the bylaw was ratified by the legislature all financial arrangements had been completed and on Monday night Mr. Grosch in a letter which appears ini the council minutes in an- other column. notified the council that tha loan would not be required The publio generally will admire the spirit off the Grosch people in refus- ing the small loan about which so much fuss had~been unnecessarily made.

Cousins of Iowa, then a new member, came in. Cousins was big and awkward, and had ai nervous habit of rubbing the back of his left hand with the fing- firs of his right. Reed saw him. 'Young man," said, 'did you ever have the itch ?" Everybody laughed.

At the close of the sermon, Mr. A. J. Sanderson sang with great effect a solo entitled "Face tio Faice." The close call that Roathaermel's hardware store had from destruction by fire one night lapt week again calls to mind the-need of fire pro- tect'on of some kind in Milverton even if it consists of nothing more than a couple of hundred buckets smd a hook' and ladder wagon.

Here he was joined by his brothers and sisters. A} number of years lat- he and hig brother John moved to Mornington where he since resided. He was a man respected by vil of a retiring disposition, and with liberal views. In politics he was a Conservative and in relig- ion wm consistent member of the Church of England. In his declining years he was nursed in the home of his niece Mrs. Robert Balrrett, from whence the funeral took place Tues- day afternoon io Trinity church and cemetery. {be palil-bearers were Messrs.

Mr. Roe wais borm in the county of Majyo Treland, 78 yealra ago. He came to America in 1851 settling. in Mornington. In 1856 he in company with his brother John, set out for California where he resided until 1859. After coming back ha setiled down to farming. In 1853 ho mairried Miss Euphemia Mc- Larem eff Perth Lanark Count y, who still survives him. Mr. and Mrs. Roe resided in Morningion until last year when Mr. Roe's enfeebled condition compelled him to give up farming. He moved into the village where he died. The complaint, from whigh he suffer- ed wals of a dropsical nature. a Roe thad the reputation of being' shrewd business mah and was seldom taken advantage of in a deal. By his industry and sagacity he managed to accumulate considernble :wealth. During life he was a very, ardent conservative and was never ab sent from! any of the important po- litical gatheringd in connection with the party. He was a consistent member of the church of Englafad. His last remains; were interred in Green- wood Cemetery Milverton, on Tues- day last a very large circle _ of friends and acquaintances being ptre- sent. Eye-strain | belies Character !)
