unnecessary to particularize the act-
ing of the plays in detaiLl It is a mat-

AN OLD RESIDENT GONE.—Mr. Wal-

Saturday, the 18th ult. Mr. McNichol
had been ailing for some time, but took
worse about the middle of the week,
gradually failing until Saturday,
when death put an end. to his suffer-
ings. He was one of the oldest settlers,
and worked at his trade (boot and shoe-
making) in Cromarty up to a few days
previous to his death. Mr. McNichol
was respected by all who knew him, as
was evidenced by the large nu-mber who
followed his remains to their lest rest-
ing place on the following Monday. He
leaves a widow and a large grown up
family to raourn his death.

peg, without either change of cars or
officials, thus obviating the delay and
• annoyance so often caused to passen-
gers by the ordinary route. Mr. Geo.
