This week it becomes our duty to
record the death of Mr. Isaac Reid,
who' passed pt.acofully away on the
24th inst at the age of 77 years. De-
ceased has been quite feeble for seyer
al years and 1115 death was not at all
unexpected. He was interred in the
Exeter cemetery on Sunday.
Mr. Patrick O'Brien, one of Hay
township's best known residents breath-
ed his fast yesterday (Wed.) at the
family residence in that township, after
a prolengecl and painful illness, at the
age of 63 years. He was a man of
good qualities, honest and • t1'ue. He
leaves to mourn his demise a wife and
grown-up family. His funeral takes
place to -day (Thurs") for the Rodger
ville cemetery.
Mr. John Darling weep has been in
the employ of R.�Pickard & Son,, for
the past four years, left for Durham,
Monday reoruing. Previous to his en
gagement with R. Pickard & Son he
was an assistant in Dr. Browning's
Drug Store and will follow the same
line of business in his new place of
residence having •purchased a drug.
store there. During his residence here
Mr. Darling has made many friends
and proved a good citizen and the peo-
ple of Durham will find in him an ex-
cellent addition to their business circles.
The act recently passed by the Do-
minion Parliament respecting youth-
fut. offenders makes several important
changes in the condition of the law
regulating the trial of this class of
children. The new It w makes it Com
pulsory on all Magistrates and Judges
to try children under 16 years of age
without publicity, and separately, and
apart from the trials of other accused
persons, Such youthful °genders are
also to be confined in separate apart-
ments, and secluded entirely from the
society of adults. In addition to this
when the child offender is under 14
years, it is required that notice shall
be served on the executive officer of
the Children's Aid Society in order that
he may investigate the cause of the
offence and the home treat:milt of the
child. The magistrate may then in-
stead of proceeding • with the formal
trial and sentencing of the offender
hand hiin or her over to the guardian
ship of the Children's Aid Society to be
brought up under their care. This
new law is being printed in pamphlet
form and circulated through the coun
try by Mr. J. J. Kelso, the Superinten-
dent. of Neglected and Dependent
Children, who will supply copies on
application.
.A. touching incident took place on
the arrival of the G. T, R. western ex-
press here the other afternoon. Two
little children, a girl of ten and a boy
of seven, with basket and hold -on, oc-
cupied a rear seat in one of the cars.
On reaching here the little .girl burst
out crying, beginning at the same'
time to pull frantically at her little
brother, who was sound asleep. The
passengers gathered around here and
tried to learn their destination. "We
have to get out at Canada," was the
only answer she would give. Different
places were suggested, but to no pur-
pose. She grew wild in her efforts to
arouse the little sleeper, and those
looking on were compelled to admire
the motherly care she seemed to have
over her helpless brother. While the
passengers were puzzling over what
should be done, the conductor came in
with a telegram in his band which ex•
plained all. The children were going
to friends in Goderich, and had travel-
led all the way from Kansas. Welling
hands bore the travel -begrimed little
ones from the train to the waiting -
room, where they were shortly after•
wards transferred to the Huron &
Bruce train, and all wished•them God
speed in Canada." -Free Press.
