033ITUARY. -We regret to have -to
'chronicle the death of Mrs. Gavin Ross
:which sad event occurred at her home
1 "Gowanside Farm," Rodgerville, 00
I Saturday night last, after a long and
painfill illness. Mrs Roes had been
in poor health for several years, but
during the past six months her illness
assumed a much more serious form,
developing eventually into what
might. he termed a complication of
diseases, baffling not only the best
local medical skill, coupled with all
the care and attention which a loving
husband and family could bestow, hut
also the combined skill of the ablest
professors of St. Joseph's hospital.
The deceased was the second. daughter
of the late Andrew Beattie, late of
Dumfrieshire, Scotland, and emigrat-
ed to this country with her parents in
the year 1859, and some years after-
wards was happily united in marriage
to Mr. Gavin Ross, of Rodgervilla
By their union they had four sons,
namely Robert B., Guy B., Cecil G.
and Frank E. Ross, all of whom are
grown-up young men and highly res-
pected, and together with their father
mourn the loss of an affectioua.te and
faithful wife and a loving mother.
Vers. Ross was possessed of many ex-
cellent 'qualities, including a clear,
strong mind and bright intellect, and
while pre-eminently a loving wife and
kind and affectionate mother, with ;:a
fond attachment and devotion to home
rind all that pertained to its comfort
and happiness, she was not at the
same thee unmindful of others, but
was kind and hospitable and ever
ready to do a kindness to a, friend or
extend a helping hand to anyone in
want; and while constituted with a
high sense of honor and admiration
for what was fair. right aud truth,
which made her quick to detect and
resent what she regarded as wrong-
doing, injury or injustice, she was
also ready to reason, was open to con-
viction and willing to forgive. when
forgiveness. was Asked. The .attend-
ance at -the funeral was very large and
the services as conducted by the Rev.
Mr. Martin, of Caven church, Exeter,
eesisted by Rev. Ten Eyck, of Trivitt
Memorial church, also of Exeter, and
Rev. W. J. Doherty, of. St. Paul's
church, Hensall, were of a very im-
pressive nature and listened to with
deep interest. The remains were in-
terred in the Exeter cemetery, follow-
ed by a large concomee of friends,
t e following persons acting as pall-
iearers :-Messrs. B. S. O'Neil, A.. Q.
13obiep, and John Farmer, J. P. Ross,
Exetee ; J. Hyslop, Cromatty ; G. J.
Sutherland, Hensel'. The following
lines were contributed by menibers of
Mrs. Ross' faintly :
In Loving Memory of our Dear Mother, Annie
Ross, who died at "Gowanside Farm"
Rodgeryille, June 24th, ISM.
Oh, Mother, thy gentle voice is hushed.
Thy warm. true heart is still,
And on thy pale and. peaceful face
Is resting death's cold chill,
Thy hands are clasped upon thy heart,
We have kissed thy marble brow,
And in oullaching hearts we know -
Wo

found to our sorrow that, two of our
neighbors, the long ancl the short of
it, who possess considerable good looks
and are noted for being early 'risers,
were left behind for the train departed
just as they entered Granton. They
were seen going along the town line
at a furious rate. While one held the
lines the other manipulittecr the per-
suader to hasten the steps of their
flying steed. They felt quite put nut,
the train was oat, and Barney, (their
driver,) was out -of wind. Oa the
next occasion they will hardly spend
so much time fixing up before they
start, hut we can excuse them this
time as they wished to make a favor-
able impression on the Yankees. So
