ORITUARY.—Mr. Donald McDiarmid, one
of the pioneers of the township of Stanley,
is removed by death from amongst us. Ile
was a native of Perthshire, Scotlend, and
came to Canada in the year 1842 with his
parents. The family consisted of six sons
and three daughters,and settled in ehe town-
ship of Osgoode. In the year 1846 he re
mored west-warl and located in the town-
ship of Stanley, with his true help mate,
and built their first, shanty. To them were
bora twoeons and one daughter, who sur-
vive them. He had a hard struggle to con-
tend with in the difficulties and inconvenien-
ces of the early settlers; but he was a man of
energy and force of character and indomit-
able parses erance ; he toiled early and late
to make a home. Eventeally he succeeded
in having a well -cultivated farm and a corn-
forteble home. His two sone, Hugh and
Ja1ne3, new have become pessessors of one
hundred. acres each. For the psst sixteen
years or more his health was failing, and
on one or two occasions he was at death's
door. His last illness Was of short duration,
lasting only one week. The prevailing
epidemic, la grippe, overpowered- his frail
and shattered frame. On the first day of
the year 1892 he teak ill, and passed calmly
away on the 8th inst. He was a man who
was very highly respected by the commun-
ity. It was remarked by a prominent man
on the day of the funeral that he had lost a
true friend, and believed that the deceased
-had not an enemy in the neighborhood, He
was a staunch liberel and a faithful and de-
voted member of the Presbyterian Church
in Brucefield. He took a deep interest in
the affairs of the congregation, especially
in previous years before his health gave
way. But above all there is a reason to be-
lieve that he had a Istrong, living faith in
the blessed Savior, and a. well grounded
hope of a glorious resurrection. He was
laid beside his beloved wife, who preceded
him more than three years, to wait until the
last trumpet shall sound, when the dead in
Christ shell rise first. Be ye also ready. for
in an hour that ye think not, the Son of Man
will come,—" WO- do all fade as a leaf." •

—Baron Hirsch is sa-d to be worth
$100,000,000. He made is wealth chiefly
out of contracts for buil mg Turkish and
Transylvanian railroads. The Rothschilds
were his financial backers hen he assumed
the contracts, but they go • the idea that the
railroads would not succe d, and therefore
withdrew their support. He then secured
assistance from the bi anking firms of
Frankfort, which he wa ble to influence
through his marrtage, a d thus obtained
funds enough to carry n he great under-
taking. European fina ci re have been 'sur-
prised by the enormous uccesges of these
railroads. They paid lir m the day they
were opened, and they naIe one of the
greatest fortunes in Europ for the bold con-
tractor who pinned his fai h to them when
others thought him foolhe dy. Everything -
he has since touched has t rned to gold, He
is a large holder of landed @states and French
rentes. It is said his benefactions for sev-
eral years past have amounted to $1,000,000
annually. 4

Hello, Neighbor!
You; look as if something pleasing
°had happened lately, said one of our
citizens to a friend the other night."
"Well, yes, I do feel pretty com-
fortable," said the individual first ad-
dressed, between the puffs from a very
fragrant Havanna which he was smok-
ing. ‘! You see I had been busy all
day, wO.iting on my _customers, and 1
was solaaewhat worried over some bills
that I had to pay, and altogether I felt
too tired and miserable to go home to
tea. Well, just as I wae about to
close, a couple .of customers, who had
long standing accounts, came in and
paid up. That made my mind easy,
but I was still feeling used up, so I
went over to W. G. Glenn, the new
man, and had a dish of oysters. I
tell you they were fine. Then I got a
quarter's worth of these cigars—have
one—and now I feel that I can enjoy
the society of my wife and children
when I get home."
Say," said the first speaker,
"that's a ten center, isn't it V'
"Why, no ; Glenn gave me six for
a quarter," said the friend.
"Well," rejoined the other, "come
back till I get a quarter's worth too;
I never struck as good for the money;
that new man keeps good stock, and
sells it right, too; he'll get along all
right, don't you think so I"
"No doubt of that. Good night."
