fy, son of Mr. Gibson Mahaffy, lot 29,

early on Saturday morning. He was
then quite dead.
The young Ulan was 23 years and
eight months old, and has been work-
ing for a neighbor, Mr. W. T. Wood,
who lives about two miles away. It
was his custom to wheel to and from

got up as usual and the fancily thought
be had gone to his work. The father,
on entering the stable, was surprised
to see his son's wheel there. but find.
ing the tires soft thunght he had left it
behind and walked to his work. A
few minutes later the body was dile
covet t'd hanging from a beam.
No cause can be assigned for the
rash deed. Young Mabaffy was of a
quiet disposition and highly respected
by all who knew him. Much sympa-
thy is expressed for the bereaved par-
ents and sorrowing family.

DEATH (W MRs. \VAS11tI11tr,—A
beautiful and saintly life was drawn
to a close at Arthur, on the morning
of July 28th, when Mrs. Frank \Vash-
burn, after an illness of four months,
ivas called to her last long test. De-
ceased was a daughter of Mr. Frank
Davis of S:►intsbury and was born in
Biddulph tp. in 1800, in which Locality
she spent her early years up to the
time of her marriage to Frank Wash-
burn of Usborne tp. in 1891. A year
hater husband and wife moved to (:hes-
ley and thence six years later to Ar-
thur, where they have resided up to
the present time, when the heavy
hand of affliction has so sorely fallen
on their peaceful and happy honte.
The deceased wits a woman of high
ideas, endued with an earnest christ-
ian spirit, a spirit cultivated frotu her
youth up. She was organist in St.
Patrick's church, Saintsbury,from the
time of her girlhood days --taking the
organ at fourteen and playing until
the time of her manage. Her sorrow-
ing husband will ,hiss a helpmate who
loved her home so well that she built
the home -life with a roof of prayer
and walls of devotion. Being an ern -
est and energetic member of the
church of England, the Ladies' Guild
and in fact the whole church in Arth-
ur will miss her sorely,'as will also the
host of neighbors and friends who
mourn her loss. The cause of her
death was peritonitis. and although
they bad only a day's notice, her host
of friends were at the house on the
evening of tbe 28th, where service was
conducted by Rev. F. C. Hockley, as-
sisted by Rev. C. F. Washburn of Mill-
bank, a nephew of deceased. in his
address Rev. Mr. Hockley said that in
his experience as a clergyman visiting
the sick he never saw such fortitude
and resignation as she bad shown, and
that in the years he bad known her
she had always gave him encourage-
ment in his work. When weary and
worn from refusals of others to help
his missionary endeavors, he had
but to call on deceased and his heart
would be cheered and encouraged.
Mrs. \Vashbut•n leaves, besides her
sorrowing husband, a family of eight:
5 girls and 3 boys, the eldest being a
girl of 10 and the youngest 3 year, all
of whom acennipanied the 's mains

were met by a large number of rela-
tives, friends, and acquaintances. who
in sorrow followed the remains Vu the
service and interment at St. Jatues,'

ducted by Rev. G. W. Ra • y, of 'Kirk -
ton, and itov. C. F. Wa shout u, of Mill
