The North Middlesex Farmers' In- stitute has made arrangements with the Grand Trunk Railway to run an excursion to the State Agricultural College, Lansing. Mich., on Thorsday, June 22. For those desiring to go front this section the most convenient place to take the train would be Lu - Can, thetrain leaving there at5:55 eon, reaching Lansing at 10:15, and return- ing same day will lettve Lansing at 615 and arrive at LOCUM about 11 o'clock. The fare from Luton will be $2.00; children half -fare. The fare being low and the trip a good one, no doubt it will be largely patronized by farmers and others. Third Notice.

'Killed at Fort Macloed, Many Mends will learn with pro- found regret of the sad and enfortun- ate accident that befel Mr. jeff Basery, son of Mr. Thomas Essery, near Cen- tralia and well kuown to many of our readers, who was killed at Fort Macleod, on Saturday last. while coup- ling cars on the O.P.B.

Hearing that pros- pects were bright for railroad men iu the West he left for Calgary and was soon filling e position on the C.P.R. witb which company he remained up to the time of his untimely death.It seems he was rather unfortunate in the way of accidents, but it was little thought his life would be snapped off as above stated. Shortly before leav- ing Palmerston he sustained a painful accident by getting One of his hands jammed while coupling cars and while siniularly engaged in Calgary he lost several tingers7 but the third proved fatal and the young man with bright prospects ahead of him has been cut off without e : moment's warning. Such circumstances are indeed sad for when death comes in this way the shock is always the more severe and its grimness all the more terrible. The contrast throws out its black col- ors in hoerid relief. On all sides the keenest sympathy will be felt for the bereaved family. The remains are expected to arrive in London on the 8 p.m. train Thursday evenieg and will be brought to Centralia Friday and taken to his father's residence, whence the funeral will take p1ae that day.
