This 15 the school in which Mr. John A. Gra- ham is teaching and we have no doubt this will be a memorable one. All are invited. WE regret to chronicle this week the death of Mr. John Jack, Jr.. whose Spirit took its everlasting flight on Friday evening last. The deceased was a young man of thirty years of age, a dutiful son, a kind brother. a devoted husband and held in high esteem by all who knew him,' For the past few months he has been in failing health fromdiabetes which caused a gradual decline till death claimed him as a victim. Last No- vember he was married to Miss Mag- gie Queen daughter of Mr. John Queen of Orchard. Besides his young wife he leaves his aged father, two brothers and two sisters to mourn his loss. The brothers are Thomas, of Senlis Bay, and Alert” of Guelph. The sis- ters are Sophia. who resides in Guelph, and Janet at home. The re- mains were interred in the Durham Cemetery on Sunday last. whither they were followed by a large con- .course of mourning friends. Rev. Mr. McGregor oficiated at the burial fid delivered a very appropriate dress at the house. We extend our sympathy to the sow-rowing fath- er and relatives. A nxxox picnic will be held Tuesday the 265th inst.. in Carson’s grove. near Barber’s Corner. S. S. No. l and Knox Church, Norxnanby, are uniting their forces for the occasion.

GARNER, of Hanover, preached in the Methodist Church here on Sunday last, morning and evening. The old gentleman, though in the ministry nearly sixty years, and superannuated some time ago, is still full of vigor, and though off the list he refuses to be regarded as officialiy dead and buried. He is de- termined to remain in the GOSpel harness and proclaim the unsearch- able riches of Christ as long as God gives him strength to do so. As a preface to his morning discourse, he thanked the pastor for the privilege of preaching and paid a high compli- ment to Mr. Ferguson whom he has known for many years as a zealous hristian worker. Both sermons were highly appreciated. INSPECTOR CAMPBELL has been treating; himself to a magnificent new Mikado, which he purchased from Mr, Chas. McKinnun. It was manufactured at. the Palmerston Car- riage Works, has an A. 1 appearance, and is evidently as good as it iooks. We overheard a citizen say it was “the nobbiest thing in town,” and we dcubt \exy much if there is any- thing in that line superior to it. WHILE working on Mr. Abraham Crutchley’s new house on Monday last. the scafiold on which Ben Sharp and John Noble were standing, sud- denly broke down and precipitated both gentlemen to the ground, a distance of fifteen feet. Ben got a. pretty bad shaking up, but received no serious injuries. Mr. Noble was not so fortunate, as he struck upon his head which susmined several nasty cuts that required a number of Stitches. As there are no bones brok- en and apparently no internal injuries he will be round again in a week or so. .4 -.._..Aâ€"__--.â€"‘-- It'slfigz fish they tell about now and not big catches.

The grand anni- versary of the Opening of the famous Summer resort will take place on Monday, July 2nd, when a monster celebration will be held, including three distinct programsâ€"morning, afternoon and evening. This grand resort although only opened a year is now famous all over the province, and we wish Mr. McLauchlan sno- cess in his enterprise. A NUMBER of towns and villages around us are making preparation for Dominion Day and the 12th of July celebrations. So far there seems to be no move in Durham, and it is highly probable that. pleasure seekers will have to go out of town if they wish to putticipate in the so-called enjoy- ments of these exciting anniversary days.

FATAL ACCIDENT. --At Flesherton Station about ten days ago, while loading timber, Mr. Chas.'Ryan, of Irish Lake, son of Mr. Timothy Ryan. met with an accident by being jam- med between two pieces of timber. Though four doctors were in attend- ance, and everything done that medical skill and good nursing could do, the unfortunate sufferer succumb- ed to his injuries on Saturday last. The deceased was a man about forty years of age, and had the confidence and respect of all who knew him.

The Hanover peeple are good to patronize their own man, and sub- stantial encouragement is an induce- ment to an ambitious newspaper man to do as good work as can be got in other places. We noticed also that Mr. Kirchner of the Reid House has transferred the business over to the boys, who now cater to the public wants with as much geniality as their father did before them. Mu. J. U.

We join in extending best wishes. Everything was in excellent taste and both bride and groom showed composure not usually witnessed at the marriage alter. The morning was beautiful and clear, a fitting prelude to a. happy wedded life. The bride was neatly and tastefully attiredinahandsome travelling suit of tan broadcloth with corsage of striped taffeta with bolero, and a. hat of tan tuscan with cream chifion, black plumes and steel buckles but was conspicuous by an absence of a lot of the usual wedding paraphernalia worn on such occas- ions.

Precisely at six in the morning the groom and oliiciating clergyman entered the Church from the Vestry and at the same instant the bride passed up the aisle from the front entrance leaning on the arm of her brother, Mr. G. A large number of the‘ boys went to Queenston Heights on Sunday. They walked there but. were glad to take a boat back as they were nearly used up. There is going to be an excur ion to the Falls on Wednesday by the; lst; Regt. We have had pretty steady drill and our boys are getting into good shape now and keeping good health.

Last Friday we furnished our quota of the main guard by putting,r on Pts. Crozier. Moflat and Brodie. The Segt. of the Guard said that they were three of the best men he ever had on guard with him, which says a good deal for the Durham boys.
