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.
