Father Mich- ael J. Tiernan, one of the best known priests of the Diocese of London, and who was know personally to a major- ity of people in this district. The late priest was born in Maidstone, Essex County, 58 years ago, and was educat- ed for the priesthood in the Southern States. Twenty-seven years ago he was ordained a priest, and some time later he came to London. For 23 years he was rector of St. Peter's cathedral, London, and it was through his inde- fatigable efforts that the Archbishop Walsh, then Bishop of London, was enabled to carry through the scheme which resulted in the erection of the magnificent cathedral of. St. Peter, which how stands as a monument to the late archdeacon and the late. priest, Rev. Father Tiernan was never a ro- bust man, however, and the arduous duties of the cathedral told greatly up- on his constitution. At last his health practically gave out, and Bishop Mc- Evay placed him in the quiet and pleas- ant parish of Mount Carmel. This was four years ago, and since that time the health of the late priest has been as it was previously, anything but good. He gradually failed until he passed away quietly n his home at Mount Carmel Friday morning. The late Father Tiernan was probably one of the most popular and best -liked clergyman ever ,stationed in London or here. He was a whole-souled Irish- man, broad-minded and liberal, and counted among his closest friends Pro- testants of all denominations. And with Protestant clergymen he was a favorite, as be was with Protestant layman. He was a keen admirer of sports, evincing a particular love for baseball. Of a good horse, he was a judge, too, and he could handle a pair of lures with any gentleman. As a priest he was the ideal of the congrega- tions of St. Peter and Mt. Carmel. He counselled theta in their troubles and was ever their adviser in all things. They loved hirci greater than the aver- age priest is loved by his congregation, and this is saying a good deal. When he left London, the congregation knew it was for his good, but they were loth to part with him, and when he visited the parish he had numerous visits from. his old friends in his former congrega- tion, The funeral took place Tuesday mornigat 10:80 at Mount Cannel, His Lordship Bishop McEvoy, Father Ayl- ward and others of the local priests were in attendance.

Russeldale Dien. -The weary watching and as- siduous care so much in evidence of late around the couch of sickness at "Ingleside" farm, the home of Coun- cillor J. L. Russell, ceased to be neces- sary after Thursday morning, 28th ult., and another new mound in Francis' cemetery, Fullerton, conveys its sad lesson of mankind's inevitable. Ever since Edward Cornish, was stricken with a third apopletic fit but faint hopes were entertained of his recov- ery, and needless to say death came as a blessed relief to the life worn sufferer in his 82nd year. Throughout his long illness the helpless invalid received from his danghter, Mary, the full ben- efit of her individual attention, ably and willingly assisted by other mem- bers of the family to make the last hours of their beloved father as com- fortable as human aid could render tinder such painful circumstances. In the early fifties Mr. Cornish, along'. with his wife and two children, carne to this country from Cornwall, Eng laud, and settled down to bush life in the neighborhood of Summerdale, now known as,Fullarton Corners. Of stur- dy build and possessed of the indomit- able pluck, characteristic of his race, be tackled with determined will the work which gave promise of a healthy competence for himself and those de- pendent on the fruit of his laborious toil. In this connection, it has been asserted that with his own axe and team of oxen, he cleared more land than any man before or since in this locality. Deceased never professed to be other than what he seemed -a plain honest, thrifty and obliging neighbor, indulgent: to his family, consistent in his religious beliefs and a straight Lib- eral in politics. His wife and three of his grown-up children predeceased him some few years, DEATH OF War.
