Judging from Cuban meltiea of late it is doubtful if the Cubans themselves are in amore advanced state of civizilation than their 0pc pressors. and after the war is over the Americans may have a turn at ,ueliing a spirit of mutiny.

But Jack’s “boys” won a sweeping victory. ‘Je dare not mention who were the good men on both sides as they are too numerous and they’d {eel too elevated. This is the third time the timber for this building his been getton ready, it being twenty one years since, the wail was erected.

Death is no respector of persons. but with his sickle keen has visited our neighborhood and left a sorrow- ing husband to mourn the loss of a young and beloved wife. On Tues- day morning the unexpected and sor- rowiul news was passel from house to house, that Ellen Kinney. the wife and chosen life partner of Albert J. Neil was ill unto death. and sub. sequently the sorrowing tale provel. alas, too true. Early the day pre vious she was taken alarmingly ill with what was first supposed to be cramps, but which quickly turned into convulsions, due. so her physi- cian said. to acute Bright’s Disease. The Dr. visited her on several occa- sions and did all in his power to ease; and prolong the sufferer’s life, but, held out little hope of recovery. as the case was serious and complicated. She kept continually growing weaker. sufiering intensely all the time, till the vital spark passed out on Wednes- day evening the 22nd 17112., her age being :27 years, 2 months, and seven days. She was wedded on the 10th of November last, hers being a brief but happy wedded life, up to the morn of her last illness. Deceased was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Kenney of Glenroding, and was widely and favorably known for her happy, gentle, winning dis- position. Anyone present at the funeral could easily discern the es teem in which she is held, by the large assemblage present. Many ; who intended to be present deferred lcoming, as they were given to under stand that friends from distant points could not arrive before Satur- day, wheress they arrived on Friday but, as it was there were consider~ ably over 100 vehicles present. Her remains were taken to St. John’s Church, near by, where the Rev. Father Hauck, the parish priest, and her spiritual adviser chanted solemn high mass, after which she was taken to East Glenelg R. C. cemetery, and there laid to rest in the city of the dead, together with her infant boy, (still born) until the resurrection morn. A beautiful bouquet and also a wreath of flowers were thoughtfully sent out by Dr. and Mrs. Jamieson of Durham. Those present from dis- tant points were: Mr. William and Miss Alice Neil of Toronto; her bro- ther Patrick, and sister Mrs. McGov- ern of Chicago; also a number of Ar- thur twp. relatives. The pallbearers were all young, unmarried men, namely: â€". Thomas. Wm. Michael, and Jos. Neil; J. D. McGrath and J. Kingston. Much sympathy is felt in the community for the heart brok- Qn younghnshand, who so early in the mornor’ glad existence is bereft of his dearest earthly friend. Dearest Nellie, thou hast left us, And thy loss we greatly feel, But 'tis God who hath bereft us, Be an all our some had.
