Henna On Saturday afternoon, Nov. 20th, one of the oldest and most respected pioneers of this section, in tbe person of Mrs. Bernard Thomson, passed peace- fully away at the ripe old age of over 86 years. The deceased was a native of Buckingham, Fifeshire, Scotland, and iu the year 1856, together with her late husband, who pre deceased her thirteen years ago, emigrated to this country, settling on the corner of the late Rev. Mr. Logies' farm, at Rodger ville, where they continued to live un- til the death of Mr. Thomson's, Sin that time the deceased has resided principally with her children, Bernard, of this village, David, of Toronto; and Mrs. N. Shirray, of Hay, near the vil lage. Mrs. Thomson was a remarkably smart, active woman, possessed of a cheerful and kindly disposition, and al though °he never spared hersek for her family and endured in early days many hardships, she rarely ever complained, never knew what a day's sickness was. Right up to the day of her death, which occurred at her daughter's Mrs Shir- ray's home, she was going about in her usual health, and had ouly lain down to rest a short time in the afternoon, when she was found dead about five o'clock. The messenger of death had come very silently, and just as silently and peacefully had her spirit taken its everlasting flight, not a trace of pain or unrest being shown on her features. The deceased leaves two sons, Bernard and David, and three daughters, Mrs. Shirray, Mrs. Maneon and Mrs. Buttery, to mourn her loss. The remains were interred in the Rodgerville cemetery on Tues'lay. titularly Messrs. Ross Brothers,. of Rodgerville. Last Thursday he slaughtered seven head of cat' tle to- gether with several hogs for the Ross brothers and on Friday left for London to market them but has not yet return- ed and it is thought he has gone to Uncle Sam's domain. The stuff he took with him amounted to ut arly $400 and will be quite a loss to the par- ties interested. We understand that detectives are now on his trail.

Later on iu the evening Mr. Vanstone happened into McK, lvie's and some re- mark being' made he asked to see the cheque and on looking at it pronounced. it a forgery. By this time, however, the man was gone. Despatches were Sent to ueighboriug towus and the pollee are looking for him. His real name is Roland Smith and his home is in Ingersoll.
