Tun OTHER side.—Mrs. William Wood- row called at The Post Publishing House last Tuesday to stets some facts concern• ing the decease of her late husband and correct erroneous reports circulated. Seventeen years ago she was united in Woodrow, she being to Wm. Woodrow then a widow with a daughter and two sons. Mr. Mustard, hor first husband, died without a will, the 100 acre farm, lot 23, 2nd line, free from all encumber• :nate passing, legally, into tine bands of his children. Woodrow worked on the farm nearly ten years, in which time 5 children were born. During this period about the only improvements made was the raising of the barn and the hnilding of stole stabling underneath, the expense incurred being borne by John Coultes, Mrs. Woodrow's father. Woodrow left because he was not parmittei to at down and eel! timber but his children remained with the another and have been cared for by her without any remuneration from the father. The next two Summers he helper) a little with the work and then lefb for Algoma and was away for six years but never sent a cont of money lack. lie tools up lend there but never paid for It. A year ago ho entered snit against Mrs. Woodrow and the Mustard boys for chattels, &o., claimed by him, but it did not come to trial. Lest Su,n• mer he called and while (biassing immi- nent eernest matters seized a club and knocked Alex. Mustard down and with oaths threatened to murder the family. After this he again entered suit against them which was pending at the time of his decease, Mrs. Woodrow says that eho had no idea that he was going to bo sunt to Goderioh jail and came to Brussels on the following Monday to arrange to take him to her home.
