And besides, thosa still livia in the old town there are hundreds of mere and wromcn in all parts of Can- ada and the United States .who drill hear with a feeling of regret of the passing of their old teacher rad frierri previous to taking n• tc prin.i aleFi r of the Public school ithr..

He was personal- ly interested in every one of Hs pu- pils and, as most teachers are, was at tinges considered severe, bet -as his pupils grew older they came to rea- lize that his seeming severity was born of his desire to see them make progress in their studies and one and all they came to hold hint in sin(ere regard. A man of 4,rlendicf appearance' anis of pleasing address he was else - to attract attention in any company and his judyiement being Sound and sane his opinions were prized where calm- ness and fairn:ss was desired, He Ivan a member of Wesley church, was on its official hoard and took a deep interest in its welfare, A pear arm almost to a y iMrs. da' Lough passed into the other world af- ter some years of ill -health. It was principally on her account, indeea, that they left Ontario for the milder climate of the ('oast Province, where they had resided for about five years.
