The deceased was born in Yorkshire, England, on the 25th day of March, 1818. At the age of twenty-five years he came to Canada. and lived? in the vicinity of Toronto for about‘ three or four years after which he moved to the township of Glenelg and settled on a farm about three miles this side of Pricevilie, between which farm and Durham he made the road passable for the requirements of pioneer traffic. After living on the farm for about seven years he moved into Durham where with the excep- tion of two or three years’ residence in Egremont he lived ever since. EFor many years he followed the trade 'of butcher and through strict. atten- tion to business accumulated a fair share of this world’s goods. _ wbull) grub.

The daughters are Mrs. David Mc- Crie, near Durham, Mrs. John Mc- Kechnie, near Rocky Saugeen, and Mrs. Simpson, who resides at Mac- donald, Manitoba. - \Ir.

Three are under sentence for assault, two men and one woman are confined for in- sanity, and one is awaiting trial on al charge of indecent assault. The rest with the exception of a couple of vags. are helpless indigents, whose only crime 13 poverty or the infirmity of age. It may be interesting to the public to learn that one of these judicial prisoners has been an inmate of the jail for eight years. He is a confirmed paralytic and cannot rise from his couch. So helpless is his condition that he cannot feed himself without assistance. Another, a simple minded lunatic. has been there for four years. There are other equally pathetic instances {which stand forth as monuments of shame to a rich debt free county, which decrees such a habitation for its unfortunate poor.â€"O. S. Times. A good joke is being told at the ex- pense of Meaford’s stalwart: chief of police. A local young man who had imbibed sufficient to limber up his vocal apparatus, had left; his horse standing in front of one of the hotels. The chief happened along about the same time and hearing the hilarious shouts in the bar came to the pre- mature and incorrect conclusion that . in his celebration the young man was neglecting his horse. He had the animal taken to the stable and led. The owner shortly afterwards came after his property, to all ap. pearance perfiectly sober. He refused point blank to pay for the stabling and feed and threatened prosecution gif the the horse was held. The hotel man thereupon got after the chief and the upshot of it all was that the latter had to disgorge his hard earned shillings to settle for the ani- mal’s entertainment.-â€"Owen Sound Times.

Grit meetings are generally composed of wind. Jimmy Falkingham bought a piece of property on Bruce Street from Ed Limin and paid about $200 cash for it.

It was an unfortunate dav financially for Dr. Landerkin when he took up political life.” The least thing South Grey could do now for the Dr. would be to help him out by electing Mr. Richardson. The Liberals always considered Dr. Landerkin “ the “’it of the Party.” At the picnic. Hon. Duncan G. Fraser proclaimed him to be “ the medicine chest of the House of Commons.” There’s nothing strange about this. The Grits never can hang together on great issues. The Medicine man, thinking the Landerkin picnic crowd needed a little cordial, started up business during the speaking of Hon. D. C. Fraser, at Hanover. He was asked to,retir'e immediately, and decided he got into the wrong gang. He may try a Tory crowd next. but un- der similar circumstances we’ll not promise him any better luck.
