Two of our townsmen, Messrs.
Freeman .0 Emigh, when about ready
to return home on the night of the
Clinton races, found that they were
minus their horse and buggy. jt
appears that they had tied their
horse up to a post between Rntten-
bury's hotel and; the post office for a
short time, and when ready to depart
on the homeward journey they were
surprised to find that the horse
and buggy were gone, whither they
knew not. flaying made all enquiry
about the nag without any favorable
result, they hired a livery rig with
the hope of hearing of the where-
abouts of their missing property,
thinking probably the animal had
broken away and mode for hone.
But they found that when they
reached Blyth all their hopes were
banished. In the morning Mr. Free-
man returned to Clinton with too liv-
ery rig and after making several en-
quiries he was told that thepp•,e was a
strange horse and buggy standing in
Kennedy's stable. When he went to
see if it was his, it was soon decided
who the animal belonged to, as she
whinnied when she heard her master's
voice. 'There is no doubt Mr. Free-
man world make it hot for the party
or parties that, took it if they could
only be fonnd out., which would serve
thein right.

THE LATE. GEO. FUL'ION.
Last week We had ,just tinge to
lariel!y ruler to the death of lir.
(leo. Fulton whish took place on the
20th 'August. Ile had been ,just
four weeks ill but was supposed to
be getting better when a sudden
change for the worse occurred and
110 quietly passed the mysterious
portals. Mr. Fulton was born on
"ongo Street not i'.u' from Toronto.
Hecane from Whitby where ho
h1tLpreviously married Ilius lIc-
Brien anis whose relatives settled on
the. Base Liuo near Clinton, Mr,
Fulton settled on the ]rase Line, on
the farm now occupied by Mi'.
lthapison, in 1849. A few :'14.114 eller
le ranted Duggan';; Livers 11urun
Road, near Gudc'rich, their he re-
turned to (Millen and kept 81,0,41
where the Commercial is now. .Dur-
ing the tine of the American %1111.110
kept the Albion hostelry in tloder-
icll. For,a short time Ito kept one
in Saginaw, Mich,, having exchang-
ed for a time with one (2herbouueau
who was afraid ul' being drafted anti
wished to reside in Canada until the
cruel war was ()vele \Il', 1't}ltou
1itl nut long reeide in Saginaw, 11ie
family were all prostrated by fever
and in a few months he %vats obliged
to return to the land of his birth and
whose honor and progress he always
endeavored to uphold and forward.
He then removed to the farm now
occupied by Mr. Wier adjoining the
corporation of Clinton. in 1878 lie
1 euluved to \lough. Clemens, Mich.,
whore he re-engaged in farming, de-
voting himself largely' to tile, cattle
branch of the business which lie
managed %vit.h his usual ;judgment•.
Deceased was 66 years of age and
leaves behind hint , a widow, ono
daughter, and four sons all of whom
were with him in his last illness.
Two of the sons occupy responsible
mercantile positions in Chicago.
t)ne resides on his farm near Ridge-
way, Mich,, about 20 guiles l'roln
\Iouut Clemens. The youngest son
resides on the hums•:stolid, Deceits -
ed. was ill good circumstances and
and was )ossesaed .)f a Macre farm
at Mount (;lemon,, forty acres t ' it
within the corporation. The fawn
is ono of tllu•prottiost iii Michigan..
The Clinton river which winds
around it runs into. .Lasko St. (:lair.
Tho river is navigable up to the
Fulton farm. And it is a pretty
sight to see the white winged mes-
sengers of commerce, as viewed from
the farm house, gliding along appar-
ently through smiling fields of corn
and wheat. 'lir. Fuiton was 011e 0f
those gontlemau who, wherever they
may be, coupe to the front. He was
a staunch Conservative in politics,
and while loyal to .the country of
his adoption he was still a British
Canadian, awl while often inlportun-
ed'to take oust naturalization papers
s0 as to be in 1 potion to officially
voico the views Obis fellow citizens
in hist Wonted country, he in-
variably declined: The last timid he
was ilj Canada ,was Acute year ago,
'when he attended the Couscrvaativu
detlOuatratiotl in London and had a
hearty shake hands with his olid
political chief, Sir John A. Mao-
donald. We nmke no apology fur
the lengthy reference to ono who for
many years teak su prominent•a part
in tho material amid, political well-
being of this section of Canada.
And he did his part well. The fol-
lowing extract from the 3fouet
Clemens .Press shows that -he was as
highly appreciated in Michigan as
in Ontario :—
"In the death of George Fulton,
which occurred at. the family resid•
enee on the morning of the 25th of
August, this city loses a citizen be-
longing to that class or energetic and
enterprising men whom no town
can afford to part with, Although
Mr. Fulton's farm home was just out-
side of the city limits be was essenti-
ally a resident of the city and formed
part and parcel of its recent growth
and prosperity. IIis interests and
those of the city were as much iden•
tical as those of any one business
man living within the city's bound-
aries. During the few years he has
lived among us his business and social
relations have ever been of the most
pleasant and gratifying nature. The
same fortitude and indomitable tour•
age which sustained him in lifeseetn-
ed doubly strong characteristics As dis
solution'appronched, end the deceas-
ed met the inevitable with a calmness
and resignedness that show no re-
grets for the past or fear of the future
The funeral services took place at
(
WHOLE NO. 460
the house Sunday afternoon and
were conducted by Rev. Mr. Allen.
No greater testimonial of the char•
actor and standing o' the deceased is
needed than that paid by the citizens
in the perfornlarce of the last sad
rites. A most beautiful floral offer-
ing was the tribute of his children in
the form of a pillow. But the wheel
of five spokes, emblematic of the five
ehildren, wan the gift of the wife and
mother. The topmost portion of the
rim was broken and gone, signifying 1
that the head and atrongth of the
housebeld no longer filled a place in
the family circle.
