' m - mediate cause of death, but his end came very suddenly and peacefully at last. Early Monday morning he ex- pressed a desire t0 go outside. His sen and others assisted him to rise and go out. When he got outside he looked around much pleased for a short time, but soon asked to be taken in again. He was only in bed a few minutes, when he passed away as quietly as if falling asleep. His wife died about twenty years ago. He leaves a family of one son and two daughters. His son now resides on the old homestead, Mr. McKay was a quiet, unassuming man, who meddled but little with public of fairs, but he always took anintelligent interest in all that was transpiring around him. He was a kind andoblig- ing neighbor, who was respected by all who knew him. and' was strictly honor- ably in all his dealings. Although his' time had fully come, many will regret his death, and will remember him with. the most kindly feelings. The remains were.interred in the-Brucefield ceme- tery on Wednesday, and the large coin course of sorrowiug friends who attend- ed to pay a last tribute of respect, amp- ly testified to the esteem in which he was held by those who knew him best, and in whose midst he had lived so long. .Eensall Winter is coming, we smelt his cold breath on Sunday evening.—There is a general complaint that the potatoes are rotting.—The new dwellings are being pushed rapidly to completion, Hensel' has quite an array of new houses again this year. -Ono of the worst drawbacks we have in chis stir- ring, go ahead village, is a number of blue -ruin grumblers, whose chief bobby and delight, if such it may be called, seems to be to depreciate the village and prophecy its early demise.
