DEATH os JOHN Ounrie.—After an i1t• nese of considerable length, John Ourtie, farmer, of the Welkin boundary West of Listowel, passed away on Thursday, Nov. 8tb, in hie eeventy.firet year. De- ceased was a native of County Tyrone, Ireland, and name to Canada with hie parents in infancy. The family settled in North Easthope a good many years ago, where the deceased was married to Mise Mary Whaley, who survives him. In March 1878 Mr. and Mre. Curtis and obildren removed to their preeeut home An Walleoei and where the latter have grown up to manhood and womanhood. There are four sone and two daughters living. The sone are John A., now sergeant of polios in Sydney, Australia ; Robert, at home ; David W,, ;veterinary surgeon, at Oadillao, Michigan, end J. T., teaoher, of Dorking. Mre. R. G. Whaley, of Oadiilao, and Mre. Jas. A. Elliott, of Bruaeele, are daughters. The deceased was intelligent and propels. sive, and was well thought of by all who knew him. For the past two years he had been in failing health, resulting from paralysis. The funeral took plane on Saturday and was attended by a eon. siderable oonoouree of friends and neigh - bore. Rev, Mr. Hardie, of Knox ohuroh, Listowel, conducted the services, Inter- ment at the old cemetery. Ax old man, whose name ie said bo be Weir, has been hanging around town during the past week without a Boma. He esye he was a ono time inmate of the Strathroy House of Refuge. If be doeen't fiud hie way baok there he should be committed to the jail ae a vagrant and thereby enure oomfortable quarters for the Winter,: as he is not eligible to be sent to our House of Refuge, A TRIP TO NORTH LAND. 1.nrne Ilapter recounts ninny Interests tug mordents arum Journey with Suryeyrilg Party No, e, [Oontiuued from page 4.) This onmp, on Kenogami river, was about seven mile, from the mouth of the river, the country for this distance being swampy and timbered with small eorubby spruce and tamarack. Our camp was pitched on a large fiat rook beside a large falls, called the Kenogami Falls, the first on the river, This Falls would malty an excellent water power where 18 or 20 feet head could easily be had. The riv r for this distance le very winding and arouked and about two to three ohaine wide• This Falls is avoided by a fourteen ohain portage. We all took a walk over it in an afternoon where we. got Mr, Godchere and his Indian to set the fish net whiob we had bought at Long Lake House. The net wae some hundred and twenty or twenty five feet long, a gill net, and it was remarkable with what deftness they set it, having it all in plane in less than eight minutes, (the following morning our net had for ne some 20 or 27 good sized fteh, chiefly pike or as they are called up here Jaok Fish.) Mr, God- ohere before leaving us that afternoon gave us considerable information re- garding the river and difforenb chains of lakes and quite strongly- emphasized the fact that it would not be at all safe for us to remain away any later than the 10th of October as after that date the Mises freeze over and remain frozen all Winter. We told him, however, that we intended sending back our canoe to his post, after coming back from a aide trip, for more food supplies, and he seemed pleaesd with the thought of seeing some of us again within a month as 0 would be about that time when we got back. We all were very much pleased with Mr. Godohere', company and it was with re- gret (on both sides) that he took his do parture for Ms post. The next morning we were up bright and early, the joyful sound of "Grab Pile" from oar worthy cook's sonorous lunge was a signal of a general hustling on the part of our whole orew and we certainly did ample juetioe to our cook's "Grub Pile." Upon getting all our goods across this portage we loaded two canoes and started down the river, the geologist and timber expert taking the "bark" and going up a small creek which flows North East. Our objective point down the river being to make a aide trip up the Devil Fish river which enters the Keno- gami river at jest five miles below ons first camp. We arrived at the month of Devil Fish river and then went back and brought up the rest of our supplies and then made a double side trip, our party dividing and exploring' the country on both aides of the river for about 7 or 8 miles. Then we made preparations for a long side trip which we judged would take us at least two weeks. We built a 'Macho" for the goods we were leaving. Onr ()ache, or hiding place, was simply a platform made of small spruce and poplar trees strapped and roped between 3 or 4 trees almost 6 or 8 inches in diameter and about 12 to 15 feet from the ground, thus insuring it, safety from bears and other animals, the main trees being too small for a bear to (limb and making it as high as we did was quite a safe venture. We had many a cache like this and never lost anything except a little flour which the squirrels had sampled. We, of amuse, always covered our (ache with a tarpaulin or waterproof sheet. Leaving thin camp we started up the Devil Fish river which led us to a beauti- ful lake of the same name which was in the form of an inverted L, the whole length of this lake being about 13 miles. Good mineral showing was found around this lake and high rooky hills, timber and soil very fair in places. This lake is very treacherous and oan assume an angry trait without a moment's warning. Nearly all these small lakee are the same, a storm is liable to spring up in a moment. We were always looker in getting a good oamp ground and with spruce and balsam brush we made a very comfortable bed indeed. In foot this kind of a bed can be made just as comfortable as a feather bed, all that is desired is lobe of brush. The many beautiful sand beaches on the shore of these lakes made good reoreation grounds and frequently we indulged in Caledonian games, eto. It was about this time and in this district that we met with and saw many Indian families who were on their way to Long Lake House where they were going to receive their Treaty money from the Government of 94 per head per annum which is paid in cash by J. 0, Hodder, the Indian agent, wbo lives at Port Arthur. We found the Indians very quiet and good natured. They are also very honest, passing our caobe dif- ferent times and touching nothing. They presented us with some nice fish and for some tobacco they quite readily gave us all the information they could re- garding the rivers, lakes, eto.. One thing quite uobioeable in the Indian of new Ontario is his strong well developed body, while his lege are invariably short, small and weak, caused no doubt by his oon- staut kneeling in his canoe., They are more in a canoe than anywhere else al- though they do walking in the Winter in their hunting pursuits but the small loge were remarkable. We had the pleasure of helping a poor Indian in the time of need. One day while three of us were in (amp, the rest were inland, we saw an Indian (roes the portage with a canoe on his head, ellen he went back and shortly returned half carrying his squaw who had two small ohildren of about 5 and 7 years hanging to her shirts, The Indian when he reached our camp laid his wife down and pointing to her said "Seek nm, seek, seek." The woman was quite young and rather prepossessing but very poorly olad. We could see that she was very ill and made out from the Indian that she had been ill for two sans and he wanted to get her to the fort. She had cholera morbus and was very bad. The medicine (hest supplied our party by the Govern- ment came in very handy about this time and we soon had the woman resting ens. , The next da she was so far re• oovered as to resume her journey, At one time we all thought ehe would die. Her husband was praying on his beads (they are all Boman Oatholtoe) and, with her head on his knees, be would stroke her hair and kiss her all the while making some kind of prayer. It was really a toughing eight to see the poor dejeoted man and bis two children, mere babes, and bis affection for his wife. Thie al. moat disproves the old saying that an Indian is devoid of affeotion. We all certainly saw it demonstrated up here. fie was very grateful to us for our Ger- vine and he went away for a few hours and Dame back with some very fine parole and three rabbits which he presented to us and there were tears in his eyes when he bade ue "au revoir." He also told Mr. Godohere to thank us very mach when he saw us again. The obildren are all very smart and bright and they have their little paddle at the age of 4 and 5 years. When the Indian moves he carries everything in one or two oanoe6 which depends on the size of his family. It 0 rather ouriou9 to see a canoe with the Indian, hie squaw, four or five child- ren and his dog as they all ;have one dog at least. His earthy all 0 with him. They are not a very industrious people and are always poor ae they are always in debt to the Hudson Bay poet in their dietriot and when they Dome in with their Winter's supply of furs, etc., they have to pay for their supplies got daring the Summer, bake out some fresh supplies and in this way are continually in debt and it is very hard on this account for any outside trader to trade with them. They are afraid for if they sell their furs to outsiders then their credit won't be good at their fort and so the mammoth Hudson Bay 0o. controls all their work. [(Motioned next week.)
