On Thursday last Mr. Joseph Senior received word of the death at Sault St. Marie of his brother, Thos, J. Sen- ior, which event took place the prev- ious evening Deceased was an old resident of Exeter, being the 'eldest son of Mr, Chas. Senior, now of Blen- heim. lie had been ailing for some months but was only oonfned to the house for a week prior to death, which was due to liver trouble and pneumon- ia, }ie was 48 years of age. Deceased left Exeter about 28 veers ago, after- wards living in Platteville, Galt, Ilam - Mon, Blyth and the. Soo. He leaves a widow and two daughters. The fun- eral service of the I.O,O,F. was held at his late residence prior to the remains being taken to Toronto, where inter- ment took place at lilt. Pleasant, cem- etery Saturday afternoon. Death of Michael Fletcher. The township of Usborne on Satur- day lost one of its oldest, if not the old- est, of its residents and pioneers, in the person of Micheal Fletcher, whose. death took place at the residence of his son-in-law, Mr. ThomasOlarke, lot 14, con, 11, about 7,30 that evening. Mr. Fletcher was confined to his bed only two days prior to his death, although for several months his health had been gradually failing, fromno particular cause, except that of old age. He had always been in a healthy and --rugged condition during his lite,_ and hardly knew what -a day's sickness was. De- ceased was a Conservative in politics, and in religion was a strong English Church man. He was born in York. shire, England, and sailed to America:' wheal quite young, settling on the 4th. line of Blanchard, Zt miles from Kirk - ton. Some years later he moved to the 11 con. of Usborne where be re- mained until some years ago when he retired to St. Marys, but bis health failing his family brought him back to the cid home, since which time he re- sided with bis daughter,. Mra. Thomas Clarke, until he was called away on Saturday. He was a highly respected man, having the esteem of his neigh- bors and friends, who were many. Possessed of all the leading qualities of heart and bead that go to make a man it is not surprising that he should en- joy the confidence of all whe knew shim. His was long life of worth and usefulness.

Autl-MrsvT-breg: OarL. of Usborne. The funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon to Kirk cemet- ery ery and was largely attended, Death of Geo. V. Samwell. The goodbye words have been spoken to a brother, friend and citizen, and those who kuew him once, will know him no more on earth; he sleeps the eternal sleep. Some one has said that in the open hands of death we find only what they gave away. Let us believe, rather, that each act of goodness, each fresh conception and fulfilment of the Socialistic aphorism, "the greatest good to the greatest num- ber", each pure thought, each brave word never dies, but produces its ripple upon the great ocean- of life, limited only by the eternities. The journalistic function is varied and while to -day we indite the happy oc- casion -of some joyous wedding event andto-morrow the detail and environ- ment of some deathbed scene,it seldom occurs that we are called upon to do a sadder task than recording the death of the late Mr. Samwell. We have known him from our boyhood and to know him was to respect him and his death will he a heavy blow to his many personal friends. The late Mr. ' Sam - well's career was a busy and eventfal one and his life affords a stt•ikinO ex- ample to the success which invariably attends devotion to duty. From the early part of his life until a compara- tively short time of his demise he was busy in season and out of season. The late Mr. Samwell " was born in Ply- mouth, England, inthe. year 1832 and was therefore in his 75th year. His early years were spent in his native place, but be came to America in 1854, settling inNew York. In that city he only remained a short time. and com- ing to Canada settled in Exeter, where he took a position as clerk with the late James Pickard and it was then that he displayed those business quali- ties which were afterwards so instru- mentalin the success of his undertak- ings. Afterwards Mr, Samwell joined the late Richard Pickard i n a partner- ship business as drygoods merchants, and for many years the firm prospered and conducted one of the best and largest drygoods stores in Western Ontario. A large block was erected by the thin some twenty-five years ago and stands to -day as a monument to his memory. About fifteen years ago the deceased retired from active business life and decided to enjoy the fruits of his;labors with which be had been so abundantly blessed. T -bis he did to a greater or lesser extent, but being in delicate health at times he was unable to enjoy life to its fullest, but was always hopeful and after many a season of indisposition was out again as smiling and as ambitious as ever. This time however, the gravity of his situation was unmistakable and his many friends and brother Masons could notice the crisis was not far off and on Friday evening the curtain was rang down on his brave and kind- ly) life. The late Mr. Samwell was of kindly disposition, of wide knowledge and broad outlook,a great reader and adeep thinker. He was atnrmber of the Presbyterian church and in politi.os was a staunch And enthusiastic Liber- al. Deceased Was twice married his first wife being aMiss Trick, and the secrnd Mrs, Ann McLeod, who sur. vives him, The funeral' on Monday took place to the Ti:xi,ter cemetery, under the direction of the Masonle tirk 1 der of which he was a valued member I •. and the ceremony was very imposing one. Beautiful floral tributes were in evidence from relatives and friends I and the Masonic Lodge, Death of James Moira There passed away et" bis late resi- dence in the township of Usborne, Lot 28, Concession 4, en, Tuesday last, Sas, Moir, one of the early settlers, a suc- cessful farmer and a man noted for his strict integrity. Mr. Moir had been in an enfeebled state of health for two years, His condition, however, . was not in the least alarming until about two months ago when his constite- ti ou gr avesi g1 s of failing health and taking his bed the end gradually carne, passing away at the time above stated, Deceased was horn in Sterling, Scot- land, in 1825. Twenty years Teter he emigrated to Canada and settled in the Township of Usborne, taking up as homestead the farm on which he died, He wee a man of unusual strength and energy, contributing more than the average share towards transforming the unbroken forest into well -tilled fields. About two years after arriving in this country he married a Miss Mur- ray and to the happy union the home was blessed with nine children -four sons and, rive daughters, seven of whom survive --Peter M., Ushoime; G-eorge, Traverse City, Mich.; John, Killarney, Man.; Mrs. J. Armstrong, Crystal City, Man.; Mrs. J. D. Stewart, Hensall; Mrs. T.eaciuhar, Tuckersmitheied Miss Bella at home. His aged partner pre- ieceased him about 25 years. As a farmer Mr. Moir bed few equals, ac- quiring a valuable estate as an agricul- turalist, and at the time of his death was possessed of 450 acres of land in township of Usborne and four sections in the North West. Mr. Moir was in religion a Presbyterian, a life-long Liberal in politics, was esteemed by fall his friends and neighbors and his demise will cause a profound regret in the community, The funeral will take place to the Rodgerville cemetery to morrow (Friday.)
