These were the words that were spok- en upwards of sixty years ago at the marriage of Mr. Alexander Knox, to Miss Mary Kincade, and death did not separate their very long, being only eleven days apart. Last week we re- corded the death of Mr. Knox, which occurred.Neee 26. This week we are called upon to record the death of his aged partner, whose spirit took flight on Tuesday, Dec. 8, at the advanced age of 95 years. Deceased had been ailing for some time but no direct dis- ease was the cause of death, old age being the cause of her calling off. On being informed of her husband's death she was too ill that it was not thought she grasped it. She never complained and was always cheerful and bright and delighted to converse with her friends and those in attendance upon her. In this township where she has been a resident for about forty years she made a host of friends; and al- though she had passed the allotted span of three score years and ten her many friends are sorry to hear of her demise. Mr. and Mrs. Knox were an honest, industrious couple who toiled hard together; pleasant in their' lives, in death they were not long divided. She leaves to mourn her demise one son and two daughters, who have the sympathy of the whole community. The funeral 'took place of Thursday to Kirkton cemetery and the remains were laid beside those of her late hus- band. Thus clo the pioneers who made many things possible in the farming Life of to -day pass away. -The death of. a loving.father,'kind husband and val- ued friend, whose presence has always helped to alleviate the many a.dvehsi- ties of life, is indeed a sad blow, but to- daithe battle is o'er -and he ,rests at peace with all the world.

Oeenee--:Chis week it becomes our melancholy duty to re- cord the death of another of our oldest pioneer residents, in the person of Mrs. Mary Ann Clark, who died at the resi- dence of her daughter, Mrs. Fletcher, near Kirkton, on Wednesday of this week, at the age of Sri years, 1 month. Mrs. Clark had enjoyed her usual health up to Thursday last, when a general breaking -up of the system set in and gradually growing worse she passed away. Deceased was a native of Devonshire, England, and came to Canada with her husband, who prede- ceased her about 36 years, in 1848 and. settled in the township of •t sborne, tvhere she has made her home ever, since. Being among the early settlers'. and possessed of a remarkable consti- tution she endured many of the bard - ships incident to pioneer life -in fact she suffered more hardships and en- dured more privations than the aver- age pioneer, but with all she was al- ways cbeertnl and happy and seemed to be content with her lot. Deceased was highly respected for her good qualities both of heart and head and her many friends will regret to hear of demise, notwithstanding that she had passed the alloted span of life. She leaves to mourn her demise a grown- up family of three sons and three daughters -James of London; Thomas and William and Mrs. Fletcher, Us - borne; Mrs. Wm. Sawyer and u Mrs. Wesley Mills, Blanshard. The f neral takes place to the Elimville cemetery to -morrow (Friday.) DUPED AGAIN. -The worst kind of a watch fake of . recent. times has been perpetrated on, the unwary farmers, during the past few weeks, by a wily going stranger, who has beeng g n and p down the side lines and concessions :waxing fat on .the innocent tillers . of the soil; and so long as newspaper warning go unnoticed, so long will these "gentlemen" be ready to swipe the farmer's hard-earned looney. In this last case watches that are worth from $2 to $2,25,.were disposed . of for various sums from $7.50 to $35, ac- cording, as the victims: were ready to hand out theircash.` Mr. F. W.
