In 1856 he came to Woodstock, and from there he came to Durham the same year. For about two years he work. ed as a carpenter on the residence at presentoccupied by Mr. David Jack~ son. His next move was to the farm in Bentinck, where he followed agriculture till his retirement in ’75 after selling the homestead to his son Charter, of the Durham Foundry. Mr. Smith was married in Leeds, England, in 1833 to Miss Ann Ross of Bramley, a suburb of Leeds. From the union five children, three sons and two daughters were born, of whom two sons, Charter of Dur- ham, and George now living in Bay City, Michigan, and one daughter, Mrs. Larter of Toronto survive him.

A ‘I "â€"P'Mwéiitidtfihié pdpéi; Address W. H. SHAW. â€" â€" Pm Ir. Gladstone’s Last Literary Work. The last finished literary work of Willem E. Gladstone was his elo- quent and tender tribute to the mem-v cry of Arthur Henry Hallamn, the friend of his school days, and thereâ€" after until his untimely death. The article was the last of five which Mr. Gladstone had at diflerent times written expressly for “The Youth’s Companion,” and appeared. recently. The final revision of the article, in: the venerable statesman’s own hand- writing, was concluded in November, 1897. Such a tribute from a man of ieighty-eight, whose statesmanship has made a profound and enduring, impression upon the civil history of the world, to a youth of twenty-two- who had been sixty-four years in his grave, is probably unexampled in» literature. The entire manuscript of this article is perhaps the most pre- cious of the many rare autographs possessed by the publishers of “The Youth’s Companion.” CENIRAL BUSINESS COllEGE’ -_â€"_â€" _â€"_â€"â€"â€"â€".
