A BEAUTIFUL LITZ OLOSED.-The late Thomas ItIcIsadzettn, so„ died on the 25th of April, of pneumonia, in the seventyseyenth year of his age. He took ill on the 19th of April and notwithstanding the • unremitting attention of the family, the best medi- cal advice and the care of an caper lenced nurse, he passed peacefully aivay on the above date. And what makes it still more sad his son' Thomas,. a splendid young man in the prime of life who had been confined to his bed for 15 months with paselyeis, died and was buried on the same clay that his father took sick. Mr. Me- Fadzeau was cmis of the ()Ballad pioneers in this district -one atter an- other they are fast passing away - brave Dien who have borne the bur- den and heat of the day. No pen can trace the history of those noble people who without either friends or fortune to aid them have risen by the force of their own ability to the proud posi- tion of ,possessing comfortable homes they can call their own, and under the blessipg of God preparing and lay- ing the foundation for schools and churches with all the temporal and spiritual blessings that flow from duties nobly performed. The subject of this notice was a native of the jroarish of Kiskinichael, County of Ayr, Sootta.nd. Bois near the "Banks and braes o' bonnie Donn" he was ever an ardent admirer of the Scottish bard. In the year 1S51. he, with his parents and the other members of the fareily, emigrated to Canada and after a tedious ocean voyage landed in Ham- ilton on the tenth of ,Tune, where they remained ouly a few days and moved on to Ayr, Dururries, where they lived one year and fitially re- moved to the Township of Grey, County of Huron. 58 yetu•s ago this part of the country was an unbroken wildernese, there being no roads nor conveniences of any kind, The family purchased 800 acres of crown land. Mr. IticIsadzean located on lot 4, con. 18, and by steady perseverance in a few years he made himself a beautiful, comfortable home. In the Fall of 1863 he was united in marriage to Mise Janet Lembie, a native of the parish of Farbaltcin, slyrshire, Scot- land. The nnion proved to be a happy one and hand in hand the.y nobly fought the battles of life to- gether until the separation came. Mr. ItieFachean was a true manly man of sterling chasacter-his word was as good as his bond with all who knew him. He was known far and wide having made many !Mends ; testimony s thus borne bo /312 integeety of speech is purpose, and also to the kindness of his heatt by which. he endeared himself to those who knew him best. In religion he WAS a faithfnl member of the Presbyterian chtu•ch, and in politics a life long Reformer • a lovieg husband aud father. He 'leaves a widow, three sons end one daughter who will hold his memory in loving remembrance, the other three mem- bers cif the .family having previously crossed the border laud. The funeral took place on Tuesday, 27111 ult., when tot immense number of people gather- ed to pay their last tribute of respect and follow his rensains to then. last 'vesting place.

She is quite an old lady. GOOD Honsas.-Ainung those who 'are dealing in entire horses we notice jno. N. Lamont, tith con,, who has purchased "Sunny Jim," a most excel lent animal, some time ago. He is a Standard bred trottiug horse of high breeding and first glass in every re spects He has captcwed several 1st prizes aud also the sweepstakes. Farmers and other horsemen should. see this handsome animal before deal- ing with inferior stock. We wish Mr. Lamont well with his -purchase and believe he wfil de well as he is a geed horseman. GOOD Holism -A Hensel]. corms- pondent says s -T. J. Berry, our well known horse importer, has sold to James Parr, of Brussels, the fine young Clydesdale stallion, Lothian Type 0,42.51) 8914. This horse is three years old, is seal brown in color, with 8 white feet and strip 00 face. He is a large horse of his age with the best of legs and feet. His head mid neck complete the body of a, perfect Clyde. He has secsned ntunber of prizes in old. land, among them the first at the Royal Show in a elass of 26. He was also it prize winner at a number of other shows. This will prove thet he eanuot fail to be a horse to breed. the right kind of stock. The sive of Lothian Type was the noted hosse, Lothian Again, owned by John Kerr, of Cumberland, for which he had been offered and refused L000 guineas. Lothien Type is certainly the right kind of horse to breed good stock and we trust his new owner will have every success with him. t/Gown TO REST. -After an illness of several years the spirit of John D.

F., Jamestown s- Qu. - A. man made a will, willing a piece of proper- ty to two of his relatives to hold it as "tenants in common" and, not as joint tenants. Re died 7 years ago. One of the persons to whom he willed the propesty had been dead for some years before the will was made, but the testator did not know it. Gan the heirs ofthat devisee take the share or is the living devisee entitled to the whole propesty ? Ans.-Section 30 of the Wills Act says, "Where any child or other issue of the testatoe to whom any real or personal estate is devised, dies in the lifetime of thC testator, tearing issue, arid any of the issue of such persons are living at the tines of the death of the testator, the devise or bequest shall not, lapse," but such issue svill take the share which their parent would have taken, In the preseut case you say the two persons were "relatives." Yon do not say that they were "children" of the testator. And secondly you ask if the "heirs': Of the deceasesl tvill take. The Statute Says the heirs must be "children" of the deceased persou. Unless the facts come within the sec - Moe of the Wills Act above quoted, the share or interest of the deceased "tenant in Common," lapsed and will go into the "residuary" devise, if there be any clause 10 the will to that, effect; otherwise the neavest heirs of the testator will take it by inhesitance, as if there had been an intestacy as to that half interest in the property de- vised to the two relatives.
