Mr. Lavelle is very much pleased with his new run, and though regretting to leave Dnr ham, where he has been a. resident for so many years, he feels he has a little easier position at more pay than form- t'l'lv. though his expenses will be much heavier. We regret to lose Mr. and Mrs. Lavelle from our town, and join their many friends in wishing them good luck and prosperity in their new home.

I THE 20th century Flyer, the blue iblood train of the New York Central lines, was wrecked on Wednesday of last week, at Mentor, Ohio, about 20 miles east of Cleveland, when eight persons were killed and thirteen in' jured. The train was running at the rate of sixty miles per hour, and ran into an open switch. Four of the five; Pullmans‘ were ditched, the fifth one remaining on the track. The switch is supposed to have been opened pur- posely to derail the train, as another “fiyer” had passed through in safety about three quarters of an hour before, and no train, freight or passenger had passed between.

The friends and relatives have he sympathy of the cemxnunity in the sad circumstances undet which they have been so suddenly and unexpect- edly placed. Nine children remain. Thos. B., John, Wm. and Mrs. Montgomery, at the Canadian “800,” Mrs. John Arm- strong at Gravenhurst, James of Los Angeles, California, Joseph of Indian- apolis, Mrs. Parker of Galt and Mrs. Thos. Livingston of Durham. All were present at the burial Tuesday morning except William and Joseph. Deceased was born on Yonge St. near Toronto, seventy years ago the 9th of next month. In 1859 she was married at Gait to Joseph Corbett who survives her. Next year Mr. and Mrs. Corbett removed to Durham and lived in the vicinity ever since until about three years ago, when they retired from farming in good comfortable cir- cumstances, and having since been living with their children at the Sault, Gravenburst and Galt. The remains Were taken to Durham for interment and the funeral arrang- ed for Monday afternoon, but a short service being held at the appointed time interment was postponed to await the arrival of a son, James, who started from Los Angeles before his mother’s death and did not arrive un- til Monday night. About two weeks ago she was on the train from Gravenhurst to Toronto, intending to go to Galt to visit her daughter, Mrs. Parker. The train was in motion and she walked to the rear end to get a drink of water. The de- ceased lady was about 70 years of age, and it is supposed she did not notice that in opening the door she was going out on the rear platform, from which she slipped off, or walked off. Falling heavily to the ground she was consid- erably shaken up, but strange to say there were no external evidences of injury. She was again taken on board and removed to the hospital in Toron- to where she died last Thursnay. We regret this week to record the sad circumstances which led to the death of Mrs. Joseph Corbett.
