out consent of the manager. Jas Wray
an inmate of the House of. Refuge from
East Wawanosh, died there on Friday,
July 9th, from cancer of the stomach,
aged 31 years. He had been an in-
mate for over a year. Messrs. Mustard
& Gutridge, who have the contract for
building a concrete hog peal,, are pro-
ceeding with the work. There are
about 72 inmates in the House. The
House has had over six thousand visi
tors since its opening. The manager
would regard it as a great favor if the
public would try and recognize Thurs-
day as visitors day, ae largely as possi-
ble. Many persons go down on Monday
and Saturday, two days on which there
is necessarily an extra amount of work
to be done, and it very greatly inter•
feres with the efficient management of
the institution
when visitors go on
these days.` The regular meeting of
the Huron Medical Association will be
held at the House of Refuge yesterday
(Wed.) and some interesting cases in
the House was taken up and discussed.

sessed of a robust constitution he never
recovered from the effects. As time
Went on he grew gradually weaker

the third attack which rendered him
unconscious and from that time the

crisis was upon him. He could take
no nourishment and was in a comatose
state up to the time of his death which
came almost imperceptibly. Deceased
was a native of Cardiff, Eng., and came
to Exeter together with his family about
sixteen years ago. He was much re
petted for his good qualities both of
head and heart. 13y his friends, as
well as by the widow three sons and

eter cemetery today (Thursday) from
