Though it is the wish of the family the newSpaper obituary .notices be modest and void of anything having the appearance of flattery, we must not be thought to violate their wish if we say that in the official discharge of his duties we never found a. more obliging man than Mr. McKenzie, and‘for this reason, if for no other, we regret his departure and extend oar sympathy to the sorrowing and bereaved family. he was specially desirous the funeral should be quiet and that no society, as such, should follow his remains to the grave, a wish that was fully honored as no fraternal emblem was seen, though the deceased was con- nected with four different fraternal organizations. At two o’clock Sunday afternoon a short burial service was conducted at the house by Rev. Mr. Morin, of Toronto, after which a long funeral cortege followed the remains to their last reSting-place in the Dar-ham Cemetery On the 22nd of September 1864, the subject of this sketch was united in marriage to Miss Sarah Boulden, niece-of the late Mrs. George Jack. son; The result of the union was three children, Laura. and Edith at- home, and Archie in Bufialo, N. Y.. 3110f whom remain to mourn the loss of a. kind husband and indulgent father. Mr. McKenzie never cared for Show and in order that. his burial ceremony might be in keeping with the un- assumingly quiet character of his life, Knowing some time ago that the end vas not far off he made prepara- tion for the sad event, leaving writ- ten instructions to be observed in connection with his burial. Amongst Other things he selected his own pall bearers ccnsisting of P05:- masters McLean, Coppinger and Smith, of Walkerton, Hanover and Mount Forest, respectively. The Others chosen were Inspector Camp- bell and Messrs. J. W. Crawford and Robert Bull. These latter gentlemen “ere representative members of the difierent societies to which he be- longed, but Mr. Bull’s removal to the North-west necessitated achange and Principal Allan was chosen as a subStitute. About forty years ago Mr. McKen- zie came to this town from Perth in his native County of Lanark. Ont., and thirty-one years ago last Monday week he was appointed post- master of what was then known as “ Bentinck ” post office, but shortly afterwards changed to it’s present name, and held the position up the tune of his death. \Ve regret this week to chronicle the death of Mr. Archibald McKenzie. which took place about five o’clock on Friday morning last. Few men were better known in the vicinity, his thirtyoone year’s experience as postmaster having brought him into business relationship with all classes in the community. His long service as secretary- reasurer of the South Grey Agricultural Society had- an al- ditional tendency to widen his large circle of acquaintances, and, through his geniality and the unpretentious nature of his disposition, he became one of the best known men in the South Riding of Grey.

For particulars of the death of this lady see Vickers correspondence. The township of Egremont lost last Friday morning one of its old pioneers in the person of Catharine .‘schellan, relict of the late Joseph Moore. Deceased was a native of the Co. Tyrone, Ireland, where she was born Sept. 16th, 1818. Shortly after her marriage she emigrated to this country. about 58 years ago, settling in Montreal for about a year and afterwards Spending seventeen or eighteen years in Trafalgar. About forty years ago, with her husband and family she first came to Egremont and settled on the farm on which she died. After the death of her husband, which occurred about six years ago, she lived, in excellent health, with her son near Dromore, until about two months ago, when she was afflicted in one of her feet which turned to gangrene and terminated in death. Six sons and one daughter remain to mourn her departure. The sons are Thomas, now in the North-west, George and John in Durham, the former now holding a position at the Council table, and. Joseph, William and Robt. in Egremont, near Dromore. Ellen, married to Mr. Wm. Lawrence, of Egremont, is the only daughter. The remans were interred Saturday last at Ebenezer Cemetery, Glenelg. be- side those of her husband. Mrs. Moore was much respecned, and her death is mourned by her large circlei of friends, whom we join in giving' expression to our sympathy. SAD DROWXIXG ACCIDENT.â€"On Fri- day evening last, after leaving Hutton Hill School, four or five boys went down to bathe just below the bridge wlnch crosses the Saugeen on the farm of Mr. Hopkins 3. short [distance west of the town, near the brickyard. At this point the river is narrow, the water deep and the bottom uneven. There are several ideep holes, caused by the swirling 30E the water as it passes the abut- iments. A son of Mr. Robert 'Webber’s getting be; 0nd his depth was in danger of drowning, when an older brother, Walter, a boy about sixteen, jumped in to save him. The Stories told by the boys are so con- flicting that we are unable to say whether he was able to render any help or nOt. One Story is that he reached the younger brother and pushed him towards the abutments, by which he was enabled to get out of the water. \Valter then who was: but a very indifi'erent swimmer lost; control of himself and in the presence of the other lads sank in about ten feet of water and nor. over ten feet from the shore. Great sympathy is felt for the parents in the loss of a son who so heroically sacrificed his life. A little after noon on Friday last the intellegence Spread rapidly through the town that John ‘A right, Jr., wno had been ailing some time from lung trouble, had been called to his long home. For the past two or three years he has not been well and his death was not altogether unexyected. The trouble was an abscess on one of his lungs which Ilaid him quite low on two or three previous occasions. The poor boy felt for some time that he was not long for this world and submitted with calm resignation to the inevit- able. The deceased was only 21 years of age and a general favorite among the boys. He was a memberl of the Fire Brigade and the Baud,| both of which expressed their! sympathy in the form of beautiful wreaths. The funeral took place Sunday morning to the Durham Cemetery, an impressiye sermon being preached in the Methodist Church by Rev. Mr. Ferguson. Mr. and Mrs. ‘Wright have the sympathy of the community in their said' bereavement. ' DISCOVERED BY A WOMAN" MRS. CATHARINE MOORE. Vy’ALTER “’EBBER . JOHN WRIGHT. JR.
