—The terribly sudden death of Mrs.
Geo. T Hiscox, of London, at Clinton,
Tuesday evening will be heard of with
exceeding great regret by all who had
the pleasure of her acquaintance. It
appears that she left London on Sat-
urday morning last to visit relatives
in Clinton, her native place, and
dur-
ingthe evening that day suffered
from apoplexy. Her condition was
deemed sufficiently serious to warrant
the summoning of Mr. Hiscox, and he
reached Clinton on Sunday morning.
Since that time until five o'clock Tues-
day evening Mrs. Hiscox had been in
a very precarious condition, and death
closed her earthly career at the hour
stated. Deceased was the daughter
of W. Rattenbury, the first settler
and founder of Clinton, and was mar-
ried to Mr. Hiscox in 1877. Four chil-
dren were born to the couple during
these twenty years, and all survive
her—three daughters and' one son.
A most distressing accident occurred
Saturday afternoon, at the home of
Mr. Walter Coates, Victoria street.
Clinton; by which a bright little boy
of 2 years lost his life. The child's
grandmother had left a large pail of
boiling water on the floor for a few
minutes and when her back was turn-
ed the little fellow, who was playing
around the room, stumbled into the
pail backward, scalding itself in a
frightful manner. The little one lin-

and soon succumbed to his injuris.e
