Eaton, which oc- cured at his residence in the township of Howick on Thursday, March 31st Th.e deceased was born in the county of Leeds, Ontario, on the 28th December, 1854, and was the eldest son of the late W. Eaton. In his fourteenth year, he came with his parents to this township, where he resided till the time of his death. On 24th of May of last year he attended a lawn soeial where he con- - tracted a severe Cold. In a'few months it became apparent to all that consump- tion had claimed. him as another victim to its dreadful power. He was confined to his bed for six months. dnring which time he bore his illness with wonderful patience, and through it all was sub- missive to the will of his Heavenly Father. On Thursday, March 31st, at the hour of one o'clock p. after bid- ding his mother and the , rest of the family a sorrowful farewell he sank quietly to that sleep that knows no waking, with these beautiful words upon his dying lips, "I'm going home to praise the Lord through all eternity." He was a consistent member of the Methodist church and a,n active worker in the Sunday School. —There appears to be son -eating radi- cally wrong with the road -bed or the management of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Every few days dispatches are received announcing a collision, or a run-off, or some accident equally serious, and in every instance strenuous efforts are made to prevent the particulars frem reaching the public. Saturday after- noon the usual accident occurred, but fortunately to lives were lost, there being a level stretch of ground where the affair occurred. While a freight train was approaching Hornby, on the Credit Valley Division of the Canadian Pacific Railway, at a high rate of speed there was a sudden bumping, and the train forged ahead on the ties, the rails hav- ing spread.

Associated with his name will long be remembered his genial disposition and irreproachable character, having no moral accnsers nor enemies, and his sud- den end is another instance of the All Wise speaking to each of us.

Mr. Downs expressed his gratitude to them, and entertainment was soon plentiful and pleasant. SUDDEN DEATH. -7- -It willi be remem- bered that we mentioned in last week's notes that John McDonald had gone away to consult physicians as to his health. He has been ailing since last fall, when he had lumbago,ifrom which he never seems to have been freed, but since that, and very lately at different times, principally in the morning, weak; unconscious spells beset him. The phy- sicians here were bellied, and then the aforesaid trip was made, but the trouble could not be fathomed by the most skilled doctors. -Be arrived home on Friday evening, abd the fatigue of the journey made those weak attacks more lasting. On Sabbath he attended ser- vice twice, and on going to rest he seemed quiet and pleasant, but the usual attack came, from which he neaer rallied, remaining nearly always unclom- sciaus and powerless 1 until Tuesday noon, when he passedaway. A post mortem exa.mination Was held by POC - tors Young and Gordon, when it was'as- certained that the wholl trouble origin- ich had become ed and thus af- rain. The mud - Grey.
