obituary.
Very general awl deep regret is ex
pressed at the death of Mr. Riehard
Welsh, one of Exeter's oldest and most
respected citizens, in the 791h year of
his age, whieh sad and melancholy
event took place on Sunday last. De-
ceased was born in Devonshire, Eng
land in the year 1813, and in 1841 he
entered the bonds of matrimony tak-
ing into himself Miss Ann Featherstone
aud emigrated to Canada the following
year, settling in Usborne on the farm
now occupied by his son John, being
lot 12 con. 2. In early life he endured
all the hftrdships incident to the clear
ing up of a new country and mules
these influences developed a force of
character which marked him out
among men in his life. Like all other
early settlers he had his trials and. die
ficulties., but with patience, persever-
ance and hard -work they were in time
overcome, and he had made for himself,
and family, a comfortable and deserv-
ing home. After remaining on the old
homestead for twenty-three years, he.
couclud.ed to take life easier and re-
e- ateennitni tounererly $12. -:Miss „Lail°

out fife he evineed an intelligent inter-
est in all questions affeetieg the public
good. He was a consistent, if not an
enthusiastic conservative. In council
or advice he always evinced the sober-
est wisdom, and was a kind father an
affectionate husband. During the last
fifty years of his life he was a consist-
ent member of the Methodist church.
His residence while in Usborne was
thrown open as a place of worship be-
fore churche,s were established in this
neighborhood and hews always ready
to lend a helping hand for the further-
ance of Christia.nity. Deceased had
heel, ailing for about SiK months but
not confined to his bed until the last
two weeks previous to his death which
was caused by a. complication of 'disea-
ses. He leaves to mourn his loss a wife
and grown-up family of 3 children,one
son and two daughters,those being Mrs
John Snell, of this village, Mrs Chas.
Eacrett, of Sarnia, formerly of this
place, and 'Air. John Welsh Usborne.
Hie remains were carried to the James
Street Church on Tuesday where the
Rev. A. L. Rnssell performed ft portion
of the ceremony, after which he was
conveyed to the cemetery for interment
followed by a large number of sorrow-
ing friends.

Fullerton lost and old and esteemed
resident in the death of Mr. Thomas
Skinner, which event took place on
Wednesday evening last. He was in
the 82nd year.of his age. Deceased did
not enjoy good health for over a year,
still he was able to be about up to a
couple of weeks ago. Although a large
man, weighing at his best over 200 lbs.,
he wasted away to almost a skeleton.
He was in good circumstances, and the
owner of one of the best farms in Full-
erton, on which he built a largo and
handsome house th 1889. He leaves a
widow, and a family of five sons and
one daughter, all grown up to woman-

Tragedy near Strathroy
Strathroy, Ont, March 22.-Yester
day afternoon a most melancholy affair
enured on the Town Line between
Caradoe and Metcalfe, about six miles
from this town, by which a young man
lost his life at the hands of a neighbor
and relative. The circumstances sur-
rounding the case as far as can be
learned at present are to the effect that
an old feud had existed between Robt.
Murray of lot 1, con. 13, Metcalfe, and
Wm. ()Rowe, of lot 2 on the same con.,
over some Government dra,in that runs
throneh their joint properties. Yester-
day (Saturday) afternoon, as Mr. Rowe
was talking to Mr. Herrington at the
corner of the town line and the 13th
con. of Metcalf, Robt. Marray and his
wife drove up on their way home from
Straehroy, and with an oath Murray
said .to Rowe that if he did not get out
of the, way he would ride him down,
This, he did, running, oyer Rowe and
throwing him in the ditch. Blows fol-
lowed, in which it i s said that both
used clubs, Rowe apparently getting
the worst of it, and had to be helped to
his home, Seine half a mile distant
Word was subsequently brought to
Strathroy and a charge of aggravated
assult sworn out against Murray, who
was afterwards bailed out before P. n
Noble --himself in $400 and two other
surieties of $100 each.
At one o'clock this morning Rowe
died from the result of his injuries,and
Coroner Lindsay was at once acquaint-
ed of the fatty and a second warrant
waS bWOrn Out against Murry, charge
ing him with murder.
The news of the murder caused
many to flock to the residence of Mr.
Rowe this afternoon, -,vhen the inquest
WaS held before Coroner Lindsay, Dre.
A. S. Thompson, W. W. Hoarse and .A.
Thompsom being deputed to hold the
post mortem examination, and a
jury of twenty-four was sworn in, with
Mr, Joe, Sifton as foreman. A ter in-
spenting the body and hearing some
preliminary evidetice they adjourned
to Meet Strathroy, on Wednesday
next, at 10 ani , when the result of
the pat morten esamination will be
made known and full evidence taken,
The melancholy affair has cast a
gloom ova Strathroy and the entire
neighborhood, as both deceased and
aceused were highly respeeted by their
friends Mid neighbors.
