The general impression is that there will be a redistribution bill at the next session of the Domin- ion Parliament. The Toronto News claims to have received in- formation to the effect that the representation for Ontario will be only four fewer than at present. instead of six‘ as formerly thought. The whole membership of the Dominion will be 235, instead of 221. Quebec is, as at Confedera- thn, to be the basis of represent- tion, and have 65 members.

Mr. Donald McRae died at his home in Priceville'on August 17th after a long illness of years dur- ation, borne with Christian patience, at the age of about seventy-five years. In religion, Mr. Graham was 5:1 Baptist, being baptised by the late Rev. Robt. McIntyre when a youn man of some eighteen or twe ty years of age. The worship at the family altar was never for- gotten by Mr. Graham. It is ctuite a common occurrence that many neglect this duty, but Mr. Graham was faithful to the end. He leaves a lonely widow, two sons, John A , of Durham, and Donald, in Port Arthur, and“one sister, in Quebec. The funeral took place Tuesday afternoon to Priceville cemetery, and he will be laid beside the re- mains of his first Wife. Nineteen years ago. his first wife died, which was a severe blow to him, but a few years later, he married Miss Annie McInnes, who proved to him a kind and faith- In] life partner. and now that she is left lonely, she can truly reflect on the past, that she has fulfilled the vows she gave at the marriage altar, by being a true and faithful wife, and she can say the same, that in Mr. Graham she had atrue and faithful companion. About ten or twelve years ago, Mr. Graham retired from farming, and took up his residence in Priceville, where he and his es- timable rpartner lived in comfort ever since. Mr. Graham was one of the pioneers of Glenelg, coming with his father and family to the north line to lot 23, concession 3, in the year 1851, and to him, as to a great number of boys coming to the woods. the hardships of life were experienced.
