Re had been at- tending school regularly notil within a week of his death, though he had not felt lively for a considerable time before. He had the measles last Summer and, though the attack was comparatively light, the consequences were not to be so measured. It seems the recovery from the measles was only partial—that they left some drag in the system, which after insidiously making way for about two months, developed into dropsy. Thie latter disease seemed to take fatal bold on him from the first and be succumbed to it as above stated on Tuesday, Oat. 181. Archie was a clever boy et school and his kind, modest manner gained for him the love and good -will not only of his schoolmates, but of all who knew ihim. He was twelve years and 5 months old. The bereaved mother, brothers and sister have the sincerest sympathy of all. We know not what the future hath Of marvel or surprise ; Assured, alone, that life or death God's mercy underlies.
