Miteheil, 12111 eon., and an uncle of Thee, Ballantyne, Bruesele ;— After a record of 44 years' faithful ser. 710e ae head gardener to (ler Majesty the Queen at Balmoral, Wm. Patereon died ou put. 6111 at Daley Cottage close to the dairy at Balmoral, at the age of 72, amid the deep regrets of many friends, Mr. Patereon was a man of eingularly fine oharaoter, of the highest integrity, and of genuine Christian spirit, qualities that were appreciated by hie Royal mistress and by the Royal Family, who during hie long illness showed the utmost eoligi• tads for his welfare, and did much to 'sheer and comfort him amid hie grow- ing Infirmities. Wm. Patereon was born in 1824 at Mortlach, in Banffshire, where his father rented a emall farm. He re• calved most of hie edooation at the parish eohool of Fochabere, and when 16 years of age, he was apprenticed to Mr. Christie, nurseryman, Fochabere, in whose nursery, in those daps, there was grown a good general stook; New shrubs were always added astheyDame out, and this gave Mr. Paterson nn excellent op. aportunity of acquiring a knowledge of their names, mode of propogation, &o., as well as of the management of nursery stook. From Fochabere 11Sr. Paterson removed to Aberdeen, where be entered the then famous nureeriee of Messrs, Roy & Sons, and remained there for two years, acquiring a still wider knowledge of his profession. Thence be entered the employmentof the Duke of Leede at Mar Ledge, where he remained for two seasons. In 1847, onthe recommend- ation of Mre. Farquharson, of Inver. oauld,be woe appointed head gardener to Sir Robert Gordon at the old caetle of Balmoral, which occupied e, site not far from the present building. Balmoral was at that time leased by Sir Robert from the Earl of Fife. Only three days after Mr, Patereon's appointment Sir Robert died, and Her Majesty the Queen then took over the remainder of the lease. on the expiry of which sbe bought the Balmoral estate. It was in Martin- mas, 1874, that Mr. Paterson went to Balmoral, and in August of the following year he was formally appoieted to the position from which he only, retired in 1892 in consequence of declining health. A pension wns granted to bins by Her Majesty, who, with that kindly consider- ation she always shows to those in ,ber employment, also placed the neat little Daiey Cottage at hie dispose], where with his wife, who survives him, he spent the oonoluding years of his life, en- joying every comfort. Five years ago he underwent an operation at the hands of Professor Ogaden, which was sunceseful- ly performed•and prolonged his life, al• though latterly he Buffered a good deal !of pain. If anything oould have alleviated those sufferings, it would have been the constant solicitude for his comfort shown by Her Majestythe Queen, Princess Henry of Batteeberg, and other mem- bers of the Royal Family, and the kind- ly inquiries regarding him whialr were daily made at the cottage. Daring hie last illness Sir Jas. Reid attended twice a day, and the messages from the Queen and Royal Family were deeply appreci- ated by the patient and greatly cheered him. Naturally, from his long eonneot- ion with Balmoral, he was known to all the members of the Royal Family, and there is reason to believe he was held in great respect by Prince Albert. Mr. Paterson may be said to have been one of the originators of the Free Church in the district. Before the present Free ohuroh of Orathie woe built there was a meeting plaoe in the granary at Aber- geldie, the use of which was granted through the late Dr. Robertson, of Indego. That was practically the be- ginning of the mission station which ultimately became a charge et Orathie. Mr. Paterson was the first elder elected, and continued to hold the office till the end, although for some years past be was unable to take any active part in bis duties. Mr. Paterson was well known in the district, and was highly re- spected for his straightforwardness and integrity. He bad a thorough knowledge of his profession. He was not only a euooeeefnl florist, but he had a wide and accurate knowledge of ehrube and trees, and there ie every reason to believe that hie services were greatly appreciated. He was possessed of exoellenb taste, and no one could with more skill produce a bognet or decorate a table. His anocees ae a florist was often shown by the prizes he won in conneatiou with the two 14•year•old boyo. When the borne were started the pins at once gave o'ay, and the "gin" polo, whioli was 40 feet long, and weighed 136 lbs„ name to the ground like a whip, etriliiug Mr. Malt on the aide of the head and bbe whale way down the body, splitting open one foot. The fern of the blow may be imagined when ib drove the heel of Mr. hair's hint halfway through a hemlock board en whin he was standing. 11e remained in a semi•uoeoneaioue condition from Friday till Monday when death relieved the sufferer. The funeral on Tuesday was very largely attended, about 150 vebiolee being in the prcceesioo to Oboe - ley oemetery where they were mot by many en foot from the village.
