After

,
an illness of twenty-one months, James
passed peacefully away from this world
to that where the wicked cease from
troubling and the weary are at rest.
During that long period of sickness
and suffering he never murmured or
complained, but with a quiet mind and
manner quite unaltered, except that
he became more earnest and grateful
to those around him, faded like the
light upon a summer evening. Al-
though his time here was indeed short
it was long enough for him to write
his name in kindness, Iove and mercy
upon the hearts of those he came in
contact with, and which is a virtue
that will never be forgotten. His re-
mains were interred in the Cromarty
cemetery on Monday of last week,
The Juneral processionwas one of the
largest ever seen at Cromarty, there
being over one' hundred vehicles pres-
ent, testifying to the great respect of
deceased and family,, The parents
and family have our deepest sympathy
in this their sore affliction.

met young Edward Shouldice in London.
Thursday Shouldice confessed to having
stolen three pairs of boots from the store
of Frederick Brown of Clandeboye, over a
month ago. He is one of the three prison-
ers charged with having broken into and
robbed Mair's woollen mill at Exeter in
May last of some $400 worth•of goods.'The
prisoner is a guileless -looking youth of 15
years. He, however, admitted the par -
Collier offence before the Magistrate at
Clandeboye, and again before Judge Will
iam )Ellett, ac.l) for a month peat :has
been awaiting sentence, in order that the
mill robbery might be inyestigated first.
But owing to the failure to get a jury e.t
the December sessions that case tial to be
traversed to the next assize. And so it
became necessary to sentence Shouldine at
once: Mrs Sboaldics wept bitterly. Her
lot is a sad one. Living in a small house
in the little village of Brinsley, in McGilli-
vray township, with a largo family about
her, the poor woman has had to struggle
hard in the effort to maintain and rear her
children in respectability. And . now
when her eldest boysare reaching man-
hood, to have one of them doomed to a
year in the Central Prison, and the other
awaiting trial for an equally serious offence,
is surely enough load for a widowed
mother's heart, Until the sentence had
been pronounced Mrs Shouldice bore up
bravely, although sho had expressed the
gravest fears for her boy after being
present in court Tuesday, when Win Beau
got five years in the penitentiary, and
Samuel Jackson was sentenced to three
years. After the sentence, however, and
particularly when parting with the lad at
wasmost affecting.
the jail, the scene
Judge Elliott asked the prisoner if he hd
anything to say, bat the youth fastened
hie eyes on the door and did not speak.
His Honor then referred to the very
numerous crimes wbiob had been commit-
ted in the neighborhood in which the
prisoner lived, and for which no one had
been convicted previously and then sent-
enced him to one year in the Central
Prison Toronto. He will likely be brought
back again to stand his trial for complicity
in the woolen mill robbery.
Wm. Bean, the young McGillivray
farmer who was taken to the penitentiary
on Saturday, from London, is reported to
have said to his companion, Jackson ; "I
can't understand why you, with a criminal
reeorcl, should have got off with three
years while I, who was never charged with
any offence before. should have got five
years, although we were both convicted of
the same charge.
