sad event took place on Thursday
morning, the 6th inst., at his residence
about two miles east of here. He had
been declining in health several
years hut about two years ago paraly-
sis weakened and affected him so that
he lost nearly all his mental and phy-
sieial powers and during the past eight
months he was confined to his bed and
was completely helpless and appeared
to have very little knowledge of what
was going on. Mr. Currie was born in
North Sherebrooke, in the County of
Lanark, in the year 1831 and would
have been 68 years old had he lived
one day snore. He moved from there
in the year 1.867 on Lot 4, Con. 11, in
the township of Hibbert, where he has
resided ever since. Hewers arllan pos-
sessed of good abilities and exception-
ally well read on the past and current
events of the tinges and being a good

very desirable. He was a good and
conststant inlember of the Presbyter-
ian church here .and a staunch Liberal

tion and education. He was married.

tle and•loving husband, an honoxal.le
a
and obliging nei,hbor, fair andcolxsid-
-ate in all his dealings, and will be

ternoon to their last resting place at
the cemetery here. .
