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

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

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-

conveniences of any kind, The family
purchased 800 acres of crown land.

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.

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.

Lnass...--In the legal column of the
Mail -Empire the following query is
asked and the answer is given :-W,
0. 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.
