IT is with sincere regret that we chronicle this week the death of Mrs. John Fraser. who passed away at her home at Vickers on Saturday last at the age of sixty-two. Deceased was taken ill about two weeks ago with lung trouble. which proved fatal in spite of all that could be done by doctors, a trained nurse and kind friends. Mrs. Fraser was born in the County of Limerick. Ireland, and came to Philadelphia forty years ago. Thence she moved to Grimsby, near Hamilton. where she was married in 1864 to Mr. John Fraser, who preced- ed her two years ago. They moved near Vickers. settling that same year on the 2nd Con. south of Vickers. "l‘o them were born five children, two of whom have died. John preceding her four years ago, Mrs. Thos. Turn- bull three years ago. There still survives to mourn the loss of an afiec« tionate mother and loving sister three daughters, Mrs. T. Corbett. of Sault Ste Marie; Mrs. A. Hess. of Hamilton; and Mrs. Wm. George. Sault Ste Marie. Two sisters. Mrs. O’Grady and Mrs. Hinchy, both of Hamilton. Deceased was a kind and obliging neighbor, loved by all who knew her. She wasa Presbyterian in faith,and wasa member of the Presbyterian church of Durham for over thirty years. The funeral left her late residence on Monday at3 p. m. to the Saugeen Cemetery followed by a large cor'ege of sorrowing friends. Rev. Mr. Farquharson of- ficiated at the house and grave. The bereated have the sympathy of the whole community in their sad hour of trouble. ~Com.

The little engine now furnishing eleccr'n power to the machine shop is n mum ol hauty and the acme of excellence. It would be hard to com ceivo of anything more perfect. The construction of the dredge at the lake is the subject of considerable tnlk by those who have seen it. When in operation it will cause still greater astonishment. There were twenty-five or thirty visitors to the cement works one day last week some from Brantiord, some from Toronto, and a number from Cargill and other places. Every week sees its quota of visitors. and in every case they express themselves as highly pleased. We can herdly see how it could be otherwise. A general meeting of the Liberal ionservative Association of Ontario has been called to meet in Toronto on June 25th. The result of the recount in North Grey gave McKay (Liberal) a majority of five. Irregularities were apparent. and His Honour Judge Morrison gave it as his belief that ballots had been tampered with, between polling day and the time of the recount. Four ballots in particular, marked plainly and clearly for Boyd, had also small crosses in McKay’s space. The judge felt they should be counted for Boyd, but preferred to throw them out, and decide on matters just as he found them. The recount had been ordered by the Liberals, but why they should have done so is difficult to explain. An appeal has been made. The Coronation Ceremonies are fixed for the wth, but the recent illness of the King makes it a matter of doubt even yet whether the event will be celebrated at the time named. The preparations are elaborate, and will be more gorgeous than anything ever previously witnessed in England, or in the whole world for that matter, cording to their own statements, have been unable to accomplish. A. E. Brunet, the accredited agent of Mr. Brunet, M. P., succeeded in “switch- ing ” sumcient ballots in fifteen polling ‘districts to steal Mr. Bergeron’s seat. When arrested, he managed to get the witnesses out of the country, but Mr. Bergeron brought them back. Brunet then threw himself on the mercy of the court, backed by a petition for clemency signed by 11!!) persons. Chief Justice Lacoste, who tried the case, imposed three sentences on Bru- net : “ For corrupt practice at an elec- tion, four months in gaol ; forinducing others to impersonate voters, six months in prison ; for interfering with the process of justice by taking part ln the disappearance of witnesses. six months’ imprisonment.” His Lord- ship, however, made the sentences 'concurrent, so that Brunet will be liberated in six months. Had the judge saw fit, it was in his power to‘ send the prisoner to the penitentiary} for four years and six months. Brunet i in addition to losing his reputation and .‘ suffering the degradation of imprison-f ment, stands a ruined man in business. The Conservative party have succeeded in Quebec and are going to indulge in . missionary work of a similar character 1 in Ontario. Already the operators of: May 29th are becoming alarmed. 3 OBITUARY.

The last was a hot one for about two hours. \Ve had just camp- ed for noon when the Boers started shelling our camp and firing from all sides, but we held our camp. Our big guns did good work. We lost a few men and a number wounded. The Boer 10‘s was heavy on the 23rd. We tool: over a hundred prisoners and about 800 head of cattle as well as a lot of wagons. horses. etc. The papers will give you a better account than I can till I get talking with you. This is a fine country. pretty hot but a little breezy most of the time. I have an idea that the war wont last much longer. I don’t know when I will get a chance to post this. letter.
