There are four Ohio boys staying
in a cottage here, one of them was
wounded in the charge up San Juan
Hill in Cuba, during the Spanish-Amer-
ican war. He was a member of Roose-
velts troop of rough riders, who dis-
played much valor in that day. Early
in the battle he was shot in the right
arm and leg by a charge of schrapuel
from a Spanish gun, lamed for life and
almost totally incapacitated. He now
draws a pension of $72 per month from
the 'U.S. government. The other mem-
ber of the Ohio party were all enlisted
in the 8th Ohio regirnent during .the
war, but were not sent to the field of
action. The boys consider Canada as
a sister to their country, and claim the
best of feeling prevails between the
two. They refuse, however, to enter
into any discnssion of national affairs,
for being soldier boys, they are easily
stirred up over political talk. The
wounded veteran tells an interesting
story of his experiences, having shot
three Spaniards to his positive know-
ledge, while on guard duty, and prob-
ably others during the battle in which
he was injured. This is the second
year he has been here, and hopes to be
here again next year.

DEATH OF MR. ALFRED YOUNG'.
We regret to learn of the death of Mr.
Alfred Young, of Lakeside, which sad
event took place on Sunday, August
26th, at his own residence, after an ill-
ness of five with typhoid fever.
The Saturday forenou. J.-if...sc.:ions to his
death the prospects of his ...,overy
was excellent and every one was Clie0'-
ful and in high expectation, but in the
evening a sudden relapse set in and he
rapidly sank away until noon the next
day, when he passed peacefully away
from this life, being quite conscious to
the last. He was born in Blenheim,in
the County of Oxford, in the year 1864
and would have been 36 years of age
had he lived four days more. He fol-
lowed the avocation of farmino-"until
about three years ago, when he betook
himself to the mercantile business.
About two years and a half ago he
bought out the merchant business in
Lakeside and since then did a success-
ful business. Being free, affable and
honora,ble he was exceedingly popular.
Nearly five years ago he married. Miss
Kate G. Stewart, a native and a daugh-
ter of Mrs.John Stewart,of Glenquaich,
Hibbert, formerly a teacher of S.S.No.
3, Hibbert, and afterwards in Rich-
wood, where she and deceased became
acquainted. Deceased was a Baptist
in religion and a' Liberal in politics,
Yet he took no active part in either.
He was a kind and loving husband, a
gentle and affectionate father, a soci-
able, agreeable and accommodating
neighbor, a quiet and intelligent busi-
ness 1/10n. Mr, A. Young, merchant,
Seaforth, was an 'uncle of deceased.
He leaves behind him a devoted wife
and a sweet little boy of less than two
summers. The high esteem and deep
regret in which he was held and the
strong sympathy for the bereaved
widow was visibly Manifested by the
beanti fur bouquets and wreaths of
flowers placed -on the coffin and the
many kind attentions of the neighbors
and by the large concourse of people
that followed the remains to the ceme-
tery just ontsicle the village on Tues-
day afternoon. Rev. Mrs. .A.ylesworth
conducted the burial services and he
