' Though Mrs. Calder. knew of the ,gathering, not a hint was given to Miss Dennett. who was pleas- antly surprised at a number of kindly references, and a miscel- laneous shower of useful house- hold articles that would serve a ' 200d purpose to the recipient 'had she any idea of getting mar-; ried. and entering a household1 :for herself. As to her matrimonial intentions, the reader will have to do some guessing, as the Chronicle has no license to say what’s going to happen about the middle of. the month.

With the exception of the notice, published elsewhere in this issue, no particulars have been handed in. i . ; We regret telearn of the death of Mrs. Watson, who died in To- ronto on Saturday of Last week. Shortly after one o’clock on Thursday last, smoke was seen issuing .from the building on Gara- iraxa street. now being improved ,for a dwelling and store by the recent purchaser, Mr. M. Glaser. Geo. McMeeken, engaged in Wal- pole’s livery, adjoining. was the lfirst to notice the danger. and at once sent in an alarm to the .fire brigade, which was not long in getting out the engine. In the meantime, a willing bucket bri- gade got to work, and. after b’llI‘St? ing in the doors and windows, got the incipient blaze under control, and the services of the firemen were not needed. The (fire orig- inated. while Mr. Glazer was at dinner, but how it occurred is not known. It was fortunate, indeed. that the early visitors to the scene had got to work so prompt: 1y, as a very {few minutes’ delay might have resulted in consider- able rloss of property. Mr. W'al-: pole’s livery and residence. right beside the burning building, would have stood a poor chance of es- cape, and Ye Editor’s residence, and other properties, right across ithe street, would certainly have had a close call, as 'a fairly strong wind was blowing ‘from the west. We have all reason to be grateful to the young men who went to work so willingly, and met with such good success. Consider- hble damarge was done to the in- side of Mr. Glaser’s building, but he was very fortunate in getting aid 80 safely. Mr. Glaser knew nothing of what was happening till advised by Mrs. Glaser, who arrived on the scene just after the blaze was extinguished. The funeral which took place on on Saturday afternoon to Mapleâ€" wood cemetery was Largely at- tended, Mr. Kenda-Ll, 01f Dromore officiating. The pram-bearers were James McIlvride. James Peter. John Thompson. John Gray, Dr. Se‘rm and John Marshall. Although holding no prominent position in politics, Mr. Bwlyth was a staunch Conservative. in 1855 Mr. Blyth settled on the old mill farm, Concession 2, Nor- manby Where he carried on the business of saw-miller and iarmer. the mill being“ one of the first in township, being erected in 1861. This same year his brother, the late John Blyth came to Normanby and was later xfoll'owed" by another brother, Joseph, Who also settled near by. Mr. Blyth was born March 20th, 1835, on the old homestead! near Gmelph. His mother who pre- deceased him zfive years ago was a Miss Janet McDonald, of Inver- ness, Scotland. His grandfather on his liather’s side saw service in the British Navy in the stirring times of the battle of Water-loo. Several of the "brother’s on his! mo- ther’s side Were prominent minis- ters and Missionaries in British Columbia, some seventy-«five years ago and interesting letters 01f theirs are still preserved by the rfanmily. Mr. B-lyth was the eldest son in a tamingr 0115 nine, six brothers and three sisters. Two brothers, John and Robert having predeceased him some sixteen years 32930. Again the whole community ,was shocked to hear of the sudden death of Colin McDonald Blyth. one of Normanby’s most highly respected pioneers. Some few weeks ago, Mr. Blyth contracted " a‘cold 'Tblut p-aid‘ little attention to it and went about his work in his usual manner until a few days before his death. On Monday evening, against his wishes, Dr. J amieson was summoned, and pro- nounced it Pneumonia. His bro- ther and other relatives were then cal-led to his bedside and all that medical aid and kind and loving medical aid and kind and loving friends could do was art no avail, and death came peacefully early Thursday morning.
