The deceased, prior to 1876, was a well- known resident of Durham. and in addition to his business partnership with his brother here under the firm name of “'1‘. J. R.

BOTH WERE DROWNED IN A WELL OVER THIRTY FEET DEEP. The community here received a shock not soon to be forgotten. when the news reached the village on Fri- day evening last that Mrs. Wm. Buchanan, of the Meaford Road, and her little adopted daughter. 6 years of age, had been found drowned in the well a few feet from their own door. Early in the day Mr. Buchanan and family went to work on their other farm, abouta mile distant, leavrng Mrs. Buchanan and the little girl at home, both in their usual health and spirits. Early in the evening Mr. Buchanan returned home and at once noticed the coverim.r of the well dis- turbed, whereupon he looked into the well but saw nothing amiss. He then entered the house to enquire of Mr. Buchanan the cause for the dis. turbed condition of the planks, but neither she nor the little one were to be found. He then went to his mother’s, a short distance away, but there neither of them had been seen. Enquiry was further made in the neighborhood, and there being no trace of the missing ones, Mr. Bu- chanan was accompahied home by some of his neighbors, one of whom was lowered into the well which is :30 feet deep and contains 8 feet of water. Here, was found, in an up- right position, the lifeless form of Mrs. Buchanan, her head only a few inches Lelow the surface of the water. The body having been recovered. search was made for the little girl whose body. cold in death, was also found in the water at the bottom of the well. How the calamity occurred can never be positively known, but a theory much advanced is that the child fell into the well. and that in the attempt to save its life Mrs. Buchanan lost her own. Coroner Christoe. of this place, was notified, and the following: day made on the spot every enquiry possible as to the cause of death, but could find no evidence sufficient to hold a cor- oners inquest in the regular way. On Sunday afternoon the funeral took place to the Meaford Road cemetery, and as a token of the deep S) inpathy felt for the sorely bereaved family was one of the largest, if not the largeet, funeral ever held in the township. The deceased’s pastor, Rev. J. 1. Wilson, of this place, as- sisted by Dr. Christoe, conducted a short service at the house. The ser- vice at the graves was very impres- sive, Mrs. Buchanan’s Sabbath School class taking part by singing softly “Safe in the Arms of Jesus,” and the children of the school at the grave of their little companion sang ” Jewels.” A memorial service will be held in the Meaford Road Metho- dist church on Sabbath afternoon next. M15. Bneh 11111111 was 41 years of age ,nnd has been, since early in life. a consec1ated Christain and devoted follower of her L01d and Master. She was one of the most helpful and willing workers in the Meaford Road church and Sabbath School, where she will now be greatly missed. A grief-striker: husband. one son and two daughters mourn her depar- ture, but do notlmve to mourn as those who have no hope. The be- reaved family have the sincere sympathy of the country at large in their great sorrow. Now that the Lacrosse season is about over, we suggest that the Lornes of Mount Forest change their names to the “ Forlorr‘s." We understand that the young ladies who were camping near the Rocky under the chaperouage of Mrs. Buchan, found their tents to be quite impervious to the recent down- pours. To your tents, Oh lsreal! A Methodist clergyman writes to say that his wife’s restlessness gave him so much anxiety that he decided next day to to pay his sub, and did so accordingly. We got it Saturday, and felt tempted in our pure heart to wish that a whole lot of other pe0ple's wives would have similiar disturbances and that their husbands would act as the preacher did. For what. we received we are truly thankful. Pete Paterson promised last week to furnish us with a fish story. but he hasn’t done so yet. We always like Pete's stories. they’re so reli. able. When Pete was a boy. be contracted an abhorrence for the awful fish stories some peOple used to tell, aud'tben and there made a solemn vow that he’d never tell one that hadn’t at least twenty per cent. of-truth in it, and to this day he has kept his vow. His high degree of veracity always makes us anxious to get his yarns. (From our Fleslnerton Correspondent) KITS AND MISSES. Wrapgerettes. $1.00 Per Year. We have a In! «of niu‘ WP!
