Sth, on learn- ing that Mr. John Sinclair, of the Kip - pen road, had died that morning. But few ever heard of Mr. Sinclair's illness.

On Wednesday he went to Sea - forth, and consulted a doctor, but noth- ing serious was supposed to be the mat- ter. On Friday afternoon he became quite ill, complaining of a pain in his' stomach, and despite all that medical aid could do he gradually became worse until Sunday when death ended his sufferings.

Blair, settled on the Mill Road, Tucker smith, on the farm now occupied by Mr. Chas, Mason He afterwards pure. chased a farm in the township. of Morris whero he lived for six years.

The writer in the Hensall column of the Exeter Times (presumably the ed- itor with the assistance of his local news mongers) tries to be very wise and witty at the expense of "Uncle Jerry "in last week's issue. Although the writer affects a fine dashing, polish- ed style, yet, even a cursory glance at his production will show that the clothes "are ill fitting and out of fashion. In the first places the use he makes of a nom de plume and the knowledge he assumes of certain opinions of the writer—opinions that have never been publicly expressed—show that either willfully or ignorantly (presumably the latter) he ignores'intirely the .imperson- al nature of Journalism. In the second place he is sadly out in his English when he seeks to apply the term i/ lover " in the singular to a maiden, Miller White should leave such after church scenes to the tender mercies of his "small fry" news mongers and confine his attention to fighting the wicked Laurier Government. He might also by way of diversion disa- buse the public mind. of a rumor circu- lated some time ago to effect that he, (Miller White,) once upon a time while sojourneying in Uncle Sam's dominions'. looking for "snaps," happily made the acquaintance of a buxon Matron at Port Huron having a bouncing baby at her breast. Our " slick " editor had his fatherly feelings so stirred that he adopted the infant its soon as the Cus- toms barricade was passed, and took it. home when a strange metamorphosis took place, the ere•while bouncing baby becoming a bundle of lithographs.
