We notice that some of our cor- respondents are hard on the own- ers of automobiles. No doubt‘ in some cases the drivers of these machines are not so careful as they should be, and they often come to grief themselves, being heavy losers frequently. So far as town owners are concerned, we think they are very careful and considerate, as a rule. and use all reasonable means to prevent danger to themselves and others. \Ve have been out with Mr. Kelly and found him very careful to avoid danger, and we have found Mr. Campbell Mr. Catton, and Dr. Jamieson equally cautious when- ever we 'were with them.

Interment took place on Satur- day afternoon, the officiating clergyman being his pastor, Rev. Dr. Faiquharson, of the Presbyter- ian church, assisted by ReV. Mr. Prudham, of the Methodist church here. Many beautiful floml t1ib- utes were laid on the casket, and surroundings. That death was instantaneous was certain from the fact that Mr. James Lawrence. \who saw the team runnng away. )was on the scene in less than two minutes and was horrfied to find the lifeless form of the unfortunate man. We can only imagine the terrible shock to the bereaved wife and family, as the news was broken to them. Indeed. the whole neigh- borhood was horrified, as the in- telligence spread rapidly. We regret to chroniche the sud- den. sad, and unexpected death on Thursday last, of Mr. Samuel Ritchie. of Glenelg. He recently purchased the ties on the now abandoned Swjtch Line Railway of lthe National Portland Cement Co., and was hauling them home to burn lime. The deceased was horn in Glen- elg. on the 10th of February, 18:38. and was therefore in his fiftyâ€" fifth year. About twenty years years ago. he was married to Mary Tate Allan, eldest daughter of Mr. James Allan, of Egremont. To them were born three children, Mrs. Wm. Jaques, on the adjoining farm. and Clara and Lena, at home, all mostly grown up. As he was alone at the time, the real cause of the accident will nev- er be known, It is supposed. however, that his horses took fright in some way, and threw him off the load, a couple of the heavy ties falling on him, and dislocating his neck. causing inâ€" stant death.
