This is a very serious loss as the buildings were among the best in the district.. The house, we understand has not been occupied for some months and Mr. McKenzie, sr., is in Port Huron. We have not learned if the loss is covyered by insnrance. Linpy TrEasurer.â€" Last week the Toronto dailies reported the appointâ€" ment of a lady as treasurer of Thorold and reported her as the first and only lady Municipal Treasurer in Canada. They evidently didn‘t know that the Village of Wroxeter has had a lady treasurer for oyer a year, and a very satisfactory one at that. â€"If every munâ€" icipality and domestic concern realized how careful the ladies can be with the dimes, the country would soon be full of lady treasurers.â€"Star. nu) say work will be progressing * all along the line."

Good and Men‘s - UV T _ ! i The yisit of Dr. Gun and son Dr. | Arthur to Quebec last week, where | they went to interview the captain and icrew of the steamship Virginian, has ‘resulted in confirming the fear that the drowning reported in the closing days of June was that of their son and brother. They were very kindly reâ€" ceived by the ship‘s officers and learnâ€" ed perhaps all that will ever be kaown of this last chapter in the career of the Durham boy. ~â€" When he was brought before the captain on shiptoard he gave his name as atove, and surprised the |captain by showing honorable discharâ€" \ges from other yessels. and was at \ onee offered employment on brard. \On arriving at Boston, not haying |signed withfthe ship‘s crew, the alien | officer of the port, with a strange harshâ€" ness forbade his landing and ordered the deportation of the lusty young man. . With the full knowledge of his{ shipâ€" mates, he determined to strike for libâ€" erty and as they approached the rarrows of Black Rock Channel they | had him prepared for his jump. It was ; the ebbing tide however and they were ignorant of a strong and treacherous | current, which, good swimmer though ‘he was, carried bim to sea. ‘The tug | was at once sent to the spot, but no | trace of the body could be found, and : until earth and sea give up their dead, | the great ocean is his grave, The conâ€" ifirmation is a sad one and while it reâ€" | moves the dreadtul pang of uncertainty it leaves the aching void‘" which only time can allay. His letters to the home circle of late had giyen rige to the hope {of an early reunion. The severance of this hope and his untoward fate, hasg brought grief "too deep for tears" to his bereayed father and mother and |family, and has called from the comâ€" munity a warm and spontaneous sympathy. _ What were his circumâ€" stances and environment during the last month or two will neyer be known, but there are features in his adventur= ous spirit, in his manly character, and in his letters, on which memory may fondly dwell. We extend deepest sympathy. Outside of Black Rock channel it seems aswirling eddy sweeps round a point of the rock and has formed a small island of sand. This island the swimmer must have reached, but it is not known whether his disappearance was caused by the suction of the tide, or by a voluntary effort to swim under water. His Durham companions say he was a good swimmer before he left and he has no doubt improved since. |\ _On receipt of this almost painfally joyous news, naturally there was longâ€" ing for more. The doctor telegraphed Pierce direct stating what he had heard and asking tor facts. The answer came : " Later investigations show that Cecil (Gun reached shore but present whereabouts unknown." Wy. H. Pisros, Supt. of Police, Here the matter rests at this writing. Our congratulations are as warm As was our sympathy. Truly truth is stranger than fiction, and to be lifted from the lowest depths of grief to the gladness of life may well cause the parents to say ‘( my son was dead and is alive again."‘ CECHL GUN ALIVE! When our paper was almost made up two telegrams were placed in our hands which we reproduce as they form a strange yet happy sequel to the distressing news of the last tew days. We allow our articles, written before the telegrams came. to stand, and we hope that the subject of them may soon have the rare experience of reading his own obituary and completing the joy of his friends here with detailed news of his safety, The first startling telegram was from Dr (Gun‘s sonâ€"inâ€"iaw McKenzic, Portâ€" land, Oregon, and was as follows : " WVm. H. Pierce, Supt. of Police, Boston, advised that Cecil swam ashore and is now alive and well. There seems to be no doubt about this. We all rejoice with you and Mrs. Gun and our hearts are full of thanks." Cecil Gordon Gun. In Menorian. â€"+ zo+ + The grass on the grounds was in a treacherous condition, and many a tumble came to the Durham team which their opponents avoided having taken the precaution to put ‘"‘cleats" on their boots. At the beginning of the game this handicap was very apparent for the home team bunched up three goals in short order, While there is nothing reprehensible in the fixing of the boots there is something decidedly wrong and against all spirit of true play in the practice indulged in by Markdale of one of their men rushing by main force on the goal keeper and while baving him in the back of the net anâ€" other lands the ball. Two of Markâ€" dale‘s goals were won in this manner we are informed. Neutral spectators we belieye freely give Durham the creâ€" dit of playing the best and most scienâ€" tific game and their playing in the The result of the match between Durham and Markdale on Thursday last resulted in a defeat for our boys. The day was wet and forbidding and considering the long daive we believe the game should have been postponed. Howeyer Markdale insisted over the wire and our team boldly set out ac. companied by councillors Guthrie and Inyingstone, Exâ€"mayor Laidlaw and quite a number of others including a contingent of ladies. Rev. Mr. Stewart, though nearing the 90 mark, is still wonder{ally vigorous in mind and body. Very interesting is it to hear from an eye witness and parâ€" ticipator of the Durham of the early 50s of the last century. Startling almost to be able to converse with one who was an intelligent participant in the ** Clergy Reserves‘" strugglie. Who can yet tell almost as a personal affiair of the doings of the Assembly and the imiquitous Executive couneil of those days. To him Wm. Lyon ncKenzie, Bishop Strachan, Attorney General Hagerman, and others who haye their niche in history are more than a name. The rottenâ€"egging of Lord Elgin and the burning of the Parliament Buildings were in his time and prime, and the work of Egerton Ryerson was only beginâ€" ning. not have been more useful. To carry the gospel message to the pioneers of this upper country, to live thair life and endure their hardships were worthy objects. Kincardine, Walkerton, Meaford, Collingwood, Strayner, Priceville and other places within 50 miles of Durham have benefitted by his labors. For several years be was the only winter minister in this town, though in sumâ€" mer there were no fewer than six Protestant bodies represenied. He firs} held seryice in a building east of where MacFarlane‘s store now stands, and a favorite place for summer preaching of various bodies was a grove near where Mr. Alex McComb‘s house is now. Space this week will not permit of much interesting reminiscent lore we may give it again. The cut is from an excellent recent photo by J. L. Browne and tke "Baptist" was kindly supplied us by Mr. Chas. Brown. On page 4 will be found the extract from this paper. This long span of conscious activity is as rare as it is interesting. Mr. Btewart occasionally fills the pulpit and the old fire comes back as ha handles the gospel themes, From a copy of the Canadian Baptist of 1886 we extract a record of his life by his son which if interesting then is much more so now. We trust that his closing years may continus to be spent pleasantly among us, a devoted daughter ministers to his comfort, children and grandchildren rise up and call him blessed and the community holds him in highest respect. Many of the readers of the Reyiew will recognize at a glance the portrait at the head of this column. To give & sketch of the dead is always appropriâ€" ate, but sometimes it is fitting to recognize the living, and we deem it a priviâ€" lege and pleasure to be able this week to present to our readers a portrait and record of the pioneer clergyman of this district, not only so but one of the oldâ€" dest ministers in the vrovince.
