SUDDEN DEtne .-The people of this community were greatly surprised on Wednesday to bear that Geo. Readman, 7th line, was found dead in bis bed at 9 a. m. that morning. He had been troubled for a time with hie heart and a tandenoy to dropsy, but was about ea usual on Tuesday, eating his sapper with the family and apparently feeling rather better than naval, and retired to bed at 10 o'clock, At 0 a. m. he oalled to his son, Peter, that it was time to get-up and as Mr, Readman had lately been lying a little longer in the morning, owing to hie health, nothing strange was thought of it until the hoar mentioned when the Bad discovery was made that the vital spark, had fled. There was no sign of a struggle of any kind, death Dame so quietly and quickly. The subject of this notice was; born near Oookeville, Ont., and lived in that locality until be grew up to be a young man when.he removed to the State of Michigan. There he was married 34 years ago to hie surviving partner. On returning to Canada they made their home for a time in Toronto township here the and- abed name to this motion w y have continuously reeided. In addition to Mrs. Readman there are 2 sons and 2 daughters. Deceased was in Brussels last Monday and intended going to Blyth with his daughter on Wednesday. Mr. Readman was in his 62nd year, was a member of the R. 0. ohuroh, and an honest going, unassuming man. The funeral will take plane on Friday morn- ing at 10 o'clock, interment being made at 'Bnebdeld cemetery, Morrie. Mrs. Readman end family are accorded deep sympathy' in their sudden bereavement. Probably the first thing to attraot the attention of a visitor to the Cleave oauoery at New Weetmioeter will be an eubomatio van filling maohine. While hitherto automatic maohioery has doue maoh for the canneries, it was always thought im• possible that a mnohine could be designed which would transfer the fish into flat or tall Cana in enoh a manner that the dash would not be bruised, and with the skin nicely arranged on the onteide of the fish in the oan, giving proper weight, neat poking, clean nutting, and on all pinta equal to the brained haod•filling now in vogue, and at tie same time with still. dent speed to oompeueabe f, the addi- tional expense of the power at,.. 'taohinery required to do dale. The remit, however, has been more than realized, and with ibis macbipe two men oan pack f15h at the rata of seventy pane per mill. ate, with a possible inoreaee over this, and with an average of over ninety per oent, better than hand -til 0cl work. Seven- ty cane par minute means over 800 casee for each maobine in ten boars, and when fish are running heavily, double that opacity by running day and night, mak. ing it possible by n suHolenoy of machin, cry to keep up with the bigteet run of flab, ;G'resb ter of Maitland' y y The Presbytery of Maitland met in Knox Ohurah, Ripley, on Tuesday, Sept. 17th,at 9 a, m.
