There were in all, we are told. about sixty teams, and though we didn’t count them, we feel that we are not above the mark, as we learn that ninety-four implements of var- ious kinds were at the Station to be taken away that day, After partaking of a hearty repast at the three hotels, all assembled on Garafraxa Street, filling all the avail- able space from Lambton.

We are again reminded of the un- certainty of life, being called upon this week to chronicle the death of Mrs. Samuel Wright, who, after a a trying illnevs of seven or eight months duration. passed away on Monday morning last. The deceased lady, Elizabeth Wake- field. was born in Rutland County, England, sixty-three years ago, and with her parents in 1849, emigrated to Canada and settled in Toronto, in which city and vicinity she remained until the time of her marriage in 1857 to Mr. Samuel Wright, of this town. In 1860 Mr. and Mrs. Wright. mov- ed to the township of Brant and spent about eight years in that town- ship and the town of Walkerton. Subsequentiy they lived in the town- ship of Howick for about ten years. when they moved to Hanover where they lived two years previous to coming to Durham nineteen years ago. - The union resulted in a family of fourteen children, eight of whom with the husband survive. The sur- viving children are, Mrs. Rutherford, Toronto, Mrs. Bryan and Mrs. Ryder, Proton Station. John, also of Proton Station, Samuel, of Henfryn, and Tilley Hepziba-h, and Willie who are still at home. Until last fall when striken with paralysis of the brain, Mrs. Wright was a. most cheerful woman, and sociable companion, but since that amiccion she was at times deSpond- ant and non-communicative. The remains were interred Wed- nesday, yesterday, afternoon, in the Durham Cemetery, Rev. Mr. Ryan oficiating at the house and at the grave. In their sad afiiction, Mr. Wright and the surviving members of the family, have the sincere sym- pathy of the community. GREAT Alteration Sale still on. at Ireland Co’s. COARSE Salt. in sacks at J.
