FRIDAY, AUG. 81, 1894. T
HON. 0. F. FRASER DEAD.
By the death of Mr. Fraser on Friday
morning last our country has lost a use.
fol and respected servant, a starmoh Lib.
oral, a man of known ability and of set.
deet character, Mr. Prager was found
dead in his room at the Parliament
Buildings by the nightwatchman. Heart
failure was the direct comae of death.
At the time of bis removal he was inspec-
tor of Registry offices and biographically
his life is about as follows :—Christopher
Finlay Fraser was born in Brockville in
Oct. 1839 and was consequently 55 years
of age. His father, John Fraser, was a
Highlander, and his mother was Sarah
Burke, of Irish parentage and birth. He
was a Roman Oatholio an the religion.
Deceased served his apprenticeship in the
office of the Brookville Recorder. At 20
he decided to study law and entered the
office of hon. A. W. Richards. He was
called to the bar in 1805 and commenced
the practice of his profession in Brook-
ville. He first entered political life in
1867, when he was defeated, and in 1871
was again an unsuccessful candidate for
the Legislature, this time in South Gren-
ville. At a by-election a few months
later he was elected to the constituency,
and continued a member of the Assembly
for an uninterrupted period of 23 years.
In 1872 he was made Provincial Secretary
and two years later exchanged the port-
folio foe that of Minister of Public Works.
He continued to represent Grenville until
1879, when he was returned for Brock-
ville, and continued to represent that
constituency until his retirement at the
last general election.
He had been ailing for some years and
when at the last session of the Ontario
Assembly he placed his resignation in the
hands of the Premier, he was prevailed
npon to continue to discharge the duties
of the office until the appointment of his
successor, Hon. Mr. Harty, on June 1st
last. A few weeks later he entered upon
his duties as Inspector of Registry offices.
The handsome new Parliament buildings
in the Queen's Park, Toronto, are a last-
ing monument to the efficient manner in
which Mr. Fraser looked after the inter-
ests of the department under his super-
vision.
The "Khan," the Swinburne of Canada,
penned the following lines on the morning
of Mr. Fraser's demise :
CHRISTOPHER FINLEY FRASER.
He lied dead! the silver-tongued and true,
Within the funeral room,
And sorrow sobs the darkened chamber
through
In sadness and in gloom.
For in the night a splendid Some One
came
In silence—all stone,
To softly touch the sleeper's lips, and
claim
The hero for his own.
And hand in hand the high and holy
ground
They gained before the dawn ;
We missed him in the morning when we
found
A good, great man was gone,
True, in the silent room with grief and
dole
We saw his body lie ;
But oh ! the fiery, true and gallant soul
Had. fled to realms on high.
And left, to grace his nation and hie age,
A bright, undying name ;
'Tis writ forever on his country's page
In capitals of flame.
Helieth dead, in silence deep reposed,
Devoid of thought or will ;
The voice is silent and the eyes are
closed,
The faithful heart is still !
Tonight alone upon the golden street
That angel feet have trod.
Thebrave and deathless demi shall surely
meet
His mother and his God 1
The funeral of deceased took place at
Brockville on Saturday and was very
largely attended.

Box SOCIAL.—Tuesday evening saw a
large turn out at the box social given et
the residence of Duncan Taylor, and
judging from reports received, everyone
enjoyed themselves immensely. The
young people cleared the Brussels stores
out of empty boxes and then there was a
shortage. A good program was listened
to by those present, given by the follow.

While digging a well on his farm the
other day, Henry Johns, a farmer near
Ethel, found a ourious relio in the shape
of an urn. This evidently belonged to
the early settlers. It was curiously
carved and engraved and the following
indistidot inscription was on it. "Thesis

The Sabbath schools of the Presbyter.
len and Methodist churches were visited
last Sabbath by Rev. R. Paul, of Brus-
sels. The attendance of teachers and
scholars was good. Great attention was
paid and much interest was felt in what
the speaker said, who addressed the
schools on the missionary work done in
the Northern parts of Ontario by the
Provincial Sabbath School Association.
He also asked for financial help to carry
on said work in the new settlements, to
which the schools responded nobly. The
speaker farther addressed the children
and teachers, the former on their moral
and spiritual state and needs ; the latter
on the all-important work of training the
young far Christ and a higher, nobler
life. It is thought such visits and
addresses mush do good.
