The clry weather which has now lasted unbroken but bya few trifling showers, for about two mouths, is approaching the proportions of a calamity. The root crops are suffering great damage.

He inmiigrated:to Canada in the year 1856, settling in the township of Stephen some. 30 years ago, as a farmer. By toil and perseverance, Mr. Matheson and family made for themselves an ex- cellent hone, and accumulating a good- ly share of wealth. • He lived on the farm with. his son John, until a few years ago, 'when Mr. John Matheson came to Exeter, his father also coming. Mr. Matheson was a strong adherent of the Presbyterian Church, and a lover of his Queen and British constitution. He was highly respected and lived to see his industry well rewarded.
