OBITUARY.—It becomes our painful duty this week to record the death of a well known and. much respected mem- ber of the community, Mr. James Fox, of the 8th concession of West Wawa - nosh. The deceased was a native of. Ruleivater, near Hawick, Roxburgh-. shire, Scotland. He was born itt the year 1811 at Wanghop Common, where tthe earlier part of his life was spent as, a shepherd, and in the year 1852 he left with his family for Canada. leaving be- hind him a large circle of friends and acquaintances, whom he always held in the most affectionate remembrance: During his residence in Canada :he se- cured the respect and esteem of all who knew him aud the affection of many warm personal friends. He departed this life Oct. 7, after a short and severe illness. He was in his 68th year. He leaves a widow and two sons and two daughters to mourn his loss. Great sympathy is felt for there in their sud- den -bereavement aud particularly for the deeply afflicted widow, Mrs. Fox.— Com. the west of those destroyed, were unin- well while others are lauguishing.

Had it been coming from any other quarter, aery much more damage would have been done. The loss will probably be, about five or six thousand dollars. There was no insurance. There was a considerable amount of salt in the burned buildings and Managers to successfully conduct a concern of this kind, which, if properly conducted is an excellent thing, but if not properla conducted is in danger of becoming a snare and a delusion.

He built the first grist and. saw mill in this part of the country at that time, a business which he carried on successfully for over- twenty -.two years. When a disease set in about twelve months ago, which was likely to prove fatal, he gave up the business to his brother Joseph, who now carries it on as usual.

This was the finest cultw&te& field of any, and the most regular crop, and we have little doubt but it will produce the largest crop of any whoa matured.

It is a matter worthy of note also that the beet crops, generally speaking, are found where the drills are running north and south, the reason for wide& being doubtless that both sides of the drill get an even there of the sumwhe,re- as when running east and west 0326 side of the drill is always shaded.— Signal.
