CALAMITY CONFINED TO NO ONE
COUNTRY.
We copy the following from the
New Jersey edition of The New
York iVor•ld of November 18th :—
"Wife and sister dio the same hour
--Dr. Craig loses two members of
his family almost simultaneously.
Affliction. rested heavily on Dr.
James Craig, of Jersey ,City, yester-
day, for • within ono hour his siste
and his wife died in his arms. Dr.
Craig is a prominent physician of
Jersey City and lives at 297 Fourth
street. •His sister .Jessie has fur a•
long time inade her home with tho
doctor, and has been for years' suf-
fering from cancer. The doctor's
wife, Mrs. Craig, has also been an
invalid, suffering. from valvular
disease of the huart. All that skill.
could do to prolong their lives the
doctor did. About 7 o'clock yester-
day morning Miss Craig died in the
doctor's arcus. Soon ho was sum-
moned to another room where his
wife lay dying. Her sister -in law's
death had so affected her that hor
disease had been aggravated and
her end hastened. Iu less than an
hour from the titne when Miss Jessie
Craig died, Mrs. Craig was also
dead. Dr. Craig has a family of.
three daughters and two sons, The
eldest son, aged 22, is a practising
physician in partnership with his
father. Miss Jessie Craig was 56
years of age, Mrs. Craig 49. They
were both born in Scotland." The
Mrs. Craig mentioned above was a
sister of Dr. Nicholson, West street,
this town. Dr. Nicholson and daugh-
ter left fur Jersey City on receiving
the' sad intelligence, and were pro -
sent at the funeral of their relatives.
DEATH'4 TRINITY OF TRIUMPHS.
OnsFriday evening the remains
of the late Father McManus were
removed from the train that bore
them to Goderich and deposited in
St. Peter's church. •On Saturday
m`orniug . the interment took place
in the family plot, Colborne como-
tery, Judge Doyle and Messrs. N.
Austen, C. McIntosh, James Doyle,
P. O'Dea, and P. Ford being the
pall bearers. Previous to the in-
terment the body lay in state iu the
church almost enshrouded in floral
offerings, prominent among which
was a pure white dove nestling in a
bower of the choicest of flowers.
High Mass was celebrated by Very
Rev. Father Murphy, assisted by
Rev. 1? J. Shea, deacon, and Rev.
T. West sub deacon ; the following
priests were also present and took
,part _the .the funeral --service; Rev.
Fathers Boubat, Ashfield, Watters
and Lotz, town, and Scanlon, Wind- ,
sor. Rev.FatherWatters preached the
funeral sermon. In it he pointed, -
out the leading characteristics of
the deceased's life, dwelling partic-
ularly on that portion of it spent in
the place of his birth—Goderich—a
feature of.the sermon that aroused
reciprocating sentiments, as most of
the preacher's aulditors could bear
testimony to the deceased's upright
walk in life. Father Watters in
his discouse mentioned •l the strong
love borne by the father, then pre-
sent; to the son, a , portion of the
sermon that became awfully realis-
tic during the afternoon. Shortly
after returning from the funeral
the old geutlernan requested to be
left alone that be might rust a
little. A short time afterwards his
daughter entering tho room found
him lifeless. Dr. Ross was soon in
attendence but life was extinct.
The doctor attributes the sudden
death to heart disease.- Thus the
father whose heart was with Ms son
all through life, joined him in
death—a death showing an immense
depth of paternal love. On Sun-
day afternoon the father' who had
arrived at the ripe ago of 84 was
laid beside his son in Colborne
cemetery. Before proceeding to
the' cemetery the deceased's re-
mains were conveyed to St. Peter's
church where the funeral service
took place, Rev. Father Lotz preach-
ing the sermon. The Rov.geutleman
made plithetic allusionk to tho deaths
of grandson, son and father, in so
short space of timeand the anxiety
and fatherly love displayed by the
old patriarch, in bringing his son
to Goderich for interment. Tho
death on Wednesday in this town
of the infant son of Mr. and Mrs.
Me Dougall, of Lcadvillo, Colorado,
aroused considerable sympathy.
The child, an only one, was Mr. Mc-
Manus' grandson, thus within two

ations passed away. The late

DEAR SFR,—In your last issue a
letter appeared over the signature "A
member of the club," complaining that
they had been• charged with .gambling in
their• rooms, and alleging that such a
charge was untrue. He says they do not
play for money, yet admits that they have
lunches, but takes care not to tell what
other amusement is carried mrtlrcre:` He
seems to be afraid to let the light shhte on
the doings of that room. It they have
something to eat there, the natural con-
clusion is they have something to drink.
He admits they play cards. Then of
course, smoking follows, So tine club
meet together to eat, drink, and play
cards until morning. It is reported' that
some members of this club were the first
to see the fi'e at Dinsley's corner, at 2
o'clock on Sunday morugng. If these
young men had obeyed the wishes of their
parents, they would have been at home
and in bed,1 not out at that hour, doubt•
less doing the devil's work,
