FOUND DEAD.—Oar usually quiet little village was thrown into a state of consterna- tion last Thursday, by the finding of Robt. Simpson, on the town line, one mile eoutti of this plane, cold and still in death. The facts as fie as we can learn are as follows: Onthe morning of the 22nd inst., he left Mr. S. J. Perkins', not stating where he was going. He was seen in Hensell on the 22ad and 2Srel and between 4 and 5! o'clock of the latter date he was returning to his employer) with a farmer. Leaving the farmer at the concession, deceased started north for the village and no more trace coal& be got of him till the 26th. On the afternoon of the 26th Mr. W. Cann, of Exeter, found the body, gave the alarm, and had it removed to this village. Dr. Maadiarmid, of Hensall, was called in, and examined the remains but found no marks of violence or foul.play.

Mrs. Gunning was in the 42nd year of her age. She had been in poor health for a number of years which ehe bravely bore, indeed there seemed as though there was no end to her courage and self- denial. She was never heard to complain of herself, but was always- solicitous about • the welfare of others. The malady which has taken her away was contracted while acting the good Samaritan to an infant orphan, whom she brought from the North West in the winter six or seven years ago. She was an exemplary character, always lived what she profeesed, and when death came, calmly and in sure and certain hope, yielded her spirit into the hands of Him who gave it. She was a daughter of Mr. Thos. Nairn, who,until,a few years ago, lived near Rodgerville, township of Ueborne. Her husband, father, and bereaved friends have the hearty sympathy of the whole com- munity, owing to the depth of the water on each side no person could wade oat to the assistance ef the victim. Hewever, a hose and ropes were procured, and with consi erable diffi- realty and risk a rope was give erer, who had just enough str ut it around his body, and h o shore more dead than alive. ediately taken to Mr. H. esidence and medical aid prom leased to state that he is now opt of danger. onrad is a young man of sober industrious abits, a general favorite witi the people and highly reipeoted by all. itimetememeemem Grey.
