DEATH OF WILLIAM HICKS. --Very
general and deep regret is expressed
at the death of Mr. Wm. A. Hicks, of
the 2nd concession of Stepheu, who
passed to his reward on Monday night
last. The deceased has been afflicted
for a year passed from Bright's disease
and during that time has suffered con-
siderably. Born at Exeter, England,
in the year 1842, he came to this coun-
try with his parents ia 1851 and in
1875 married, taking as a partner Miss
Mahelah Jones, of Clandeboye: His
nature was singularly reserved and
unobtrusive but was a man of keen
perception and intelligence. He was a
thorough.farmer 10 every respect and
a man .of much experience in his sphere
of life. Highlyrespected as a friepd
and neighbor he numbered:his friends
as many and his death will be keeuly
felt throughout the neighborhood. He
was a consistent member of the Meth-
odist church and a Conservative in
polities. He leaves a toying wife and
five children -two sons and three
daughters to mourn the loss of a dear
husband and parent. We extend to
them the, genuine sympathy of the
public in their sad bereavement. The
funeral takes place to -day (Thursday)
at 2.30 o'clock to the F'airfield. ceme-

FOUND DROWNED AT GAL'T.
Galt, Dec. 0. -The body- of John
Warwick was found in the race near
Berahardt's biewery at Preston yes-
terday afternoon. The man had been
missing for sorna days from the Queen's
Hotel, where he had been working,
and it is thought that he coinmitted
suicide. It was believed at one time
that he was possessed of considerable
wealth, but communication with a
Remilton lawyer whom the deceased
claimed a$ his solicitor leads to the
impression that the story was merely
a rornance. As a matter of fact, little
is really known of the upfortunate,
his belongings throwing no light on
his history. An inquest tt ill be held.
