SAD t) DX..lTH.---,'his week ave eliroii- isle the death of Miss Ido Stewart, of the Boundary, which sari event took iOwe care Wednesday evening. 22nd nst. It appears that she had been ailing for some months but it was only some weeks ago that her illness took such a serious turd that, additional medical skin was summoned and it was decided to perform an operation, Although the best skill available was procured she only survived the opera- tion five hours. She was of a lively, cheerful turn of mind, always freely and cheerfully giving her services to make any social gathering a success. She frequently played the organ for the Bethany Sunday school scholars, and the high esteem and deep affec- tion for her was shewn by the beauti- ful wreath of flowers, accompaniedby an appropriate Verse that teas sent by them, to be placed on the coffin, She was cut off just in the prime of life, being in her twenty-fifth year and her sudden death has cast a gloom over the community and the parents and other members of the family have the sympathy of the community in their sad bereavement. ,ler remains, which were interred in McTaggart's ceme- tery, were followed by one of the larg- est funeral processions that ever took place in this part.

Many costly and beautiful silver pres- ents were presented to theta. as me- mentoes of the high esteem in which they are held. -Mr. Wm. Pringle and the Misses Jane and Bella Pringle passed through here on Friday to at- tend the funeral of Miss Ida Stewart. They all look hale and hearty, and Miss Bella is as lively and sociable as ever. -Mr. David Brown, who is em- ployed in the gas works in London, spent Sundaytand Monday with his wife and family here.

Sloman, crushing it so ' pain- fully that he laid off imtil it is better. Blake: Our blacksmith, J.

James Johnston on Tuesday night. The de- ceased was in her usual good health on the Iiiday previous to her depar- ture, e larture, but was; taken to her bed on Sum - clay with lung tl;'ouble. Despite the vigilant care and treatment of her at- tendants and physician, she grew worsea nd worse till fivally pneumonia set in, which soon took her off. al- though but a child only five years. 8 months and 7 daye old, the little maid whet the death messenger with heaven- ly praises on her lips and req nested her mother to sing, aWheu the roll is ealIed up yonder I'll be there," to her before she died. She will be great- ly missed in the neighborhood and especially so in her great home, which she filled with life and happiness. Clinton: One morning last week while the clerk was sweeping off the walk in front of Rumball's jewellery store, a stranger approached and made some casual remark about the Regu- lator. Seeing no watches in the show case, he asked "Where do you keep your watches:" and was told that they were in the safe. He left, and shortly afterwards a second stranger walked into the storeand h z d deliberatelywent to the back where the safe stands and made a survey of ita as if to size it up. Then pretending to have some telephone business, he turn- ed to Miss Biggart and paid for the meaningless message, and left the store. The actions of the couple were suspicious, and their business can only be surmised, but if they intended to rob the safe, the assumption is that being such an unusually large one. thereby concluded it was too much. for their skill. Hay: A very pleasant time was spent Sat. week at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Deters, it being the fifteenth anniversary of their .w'ed- ding. About twenty invited mate sat down to a most sumptuo.ns d11s sa, and the table fairly growled under the good things prepared by the hssteere Especially must we Intake mention of the bridal cake which was beautit a:1y decorated with fifteen candles, indicat- ing the number of years of: their mar- riage life. The evening was spent in chatting, vocal ' and instrumental musiee,peeches, ole Among the many presents was a beautiful larlor lamp, showing the :esteem in which the host and hostess are held by their friends.
