While in the school the lemur read took place, when, un request, he was permitted to accompany his regi- men: and participated with them in the action at Ltmeridge. He was also pres- ent with bas regiment in almost all its inor services, as well as during those n the Northwest in 188:,.

His death cast a gloom oyer the aeighborh,od. So sudden that it seems hardly possible to believe, that the man, who so lately was the picture of manly vigor, is now powerless, deprived of life. He had been trick with the fever and was recovering ; to hasten his recovery, a certain powder had been given him, and to destroy infection, there was hidden in the room a packet of another kind of powder, a strew,: poison. On Friday .morning be was to take his medicine. is powder, hot could not find it ; searching further some ill fate directed him to the spot where were hidden the disinfecting powders and be took one. He realized that to medicine did not agree with him, and the doctor was sent foe, ton late ; the poison had permeated his system. The poor boy felt that he had to die. Theo he showed the fruit" of a good life, and his death, as his life, was a true example for his (nods. H. met it fearlessly, trssf.11y, with s quiet faith.

He was the only son of Mr M'. William G old, of Goderich, t tut., at which place be was earn. While he was yet prattling in his babyhood, his mother was suddenly bowed in grief and widowhood by the untimely death of his father from an accident, in the lonely condition of which, tree to her womanly devotion, she has since remained, be- stowing her love and care upon bet two fatherless children, the boy and his sis- ter, who was but a few years his senior. After the death of his tater, he lived principally with his uncle until the fall of 1887, when becoming inspired with an h000rable ambition, with the love and blessing of a fond mother, and the help of an indulging uncle, he entered the Ontario veterinary college of Toronto, from which he graduated with honors in the spring of 188:e. During this time, he practised for the most part with Dr John Aikenhesd, for whom be funned • great attachment and of whom lie spoke of ofteu and very highly. About the 1st of April last, buoyed by the well wish*, of a large circle of friends, he arranged his trunk for the west, where he hoped to reap the honest re- wards of industry in his new vocation. Gently he pressed the hands of three held dearest to him on earth, and with his last farewell, encouragingly assured them that he would soon return. But, alas ! That return He arrived here about the Lith of April, and immediately began the prac- tice of his profession; although the times were dull and the prospects for better were very uncertain, he gradually in- creased it. He was attended with great success and his fame was fast spreading, until nothing seemed in the way of his gainuta his long cherished hope. Abut the 10th of Auz. he was taken with a severe headache. which was attributed to over -work and anxiety, but which was soon found to be the beginning of a spell of sickness, whatever the moose. He was treated for malarial fever and was fast recovering, when, on Friday, the 16th, he mistook the fatal dose for a powder and took it. Why be should have mistaken the drug, no one can ex- plain, as he was quite familiar with it. but the most plausible isolation u that be wan partially asleep. Although three physicians were in attendance and did all in their power to stay int action, yet every effort failed, and ere morning dawned be was still in death : his soul had joined the angels in heaven. His remains will he interred in the cemetery at Goderch, tint. Ha was an exemplary young man in his habits and an adept at Iris profeseioo. He leaves an seed mother and a sister now Mrs Straughan, to mourn bis lose. While he was here he made a lase circle of friends, who ate grieved by the sad calamity, and who unite in extending their heart -felt sympathy to those bereft of so noble a son and brother. On the following Sabbath the Rev Mr Linton deferred the regular sermon and delivered the funeral discourse taking for bis text words selected from: Heb- rews 2 chap. 3 v. "How shall we es- cape if we neglect, so great salvation." He spoke at some length upon the ques- tion of neglect showing how it might be, and was done. in referring to the de- ceased, he held him up as • model;yousg man mcrally,'asd expressed great hope fcr his safety in the new world, which hs had joined.
