DEATH Or MR. T. A. S1IARJ .—Word was received on Tuesday by Mr.`(1 A. Sills, of the death of Mr. Thomas#A. Sharp, which occurred in Cleveland,very suddenly, but no further particulars have yet been received. Mr. Sharp was one of the oldest residents of Seaforth,-and left here a little over a year ago. He wag -_first engaged in the livery business, and afterwards was widely known as an extensive -horse buyer. Bef f a leaving here he was engaged in the grocerybusines in company with Mr. Livens. Many old friends throughout the county will regret to. learn of his death.—Since the°above was in type we have received a copy of the Cleve- land News of Monday, in which we notice the following paragraph i concerning Mr. Sharp's death "A body jstretohed upon a marble slab in a medical c 1'lege was identi- fied Monday d morningbyo nel C�l D. L. ells Y Sills, of No. 84, Commonwealth avenue, as that of n� his brother-in-law, Tho" m A. Sher . The bodywas that tofo• p the�`'h �£ts found man in an unconscious condition at the Sherman House at Rockport one day last week, and who died without recovering his senses. It was at first auppoaed to be a ease of suicide, but the coroner's examination revealed the fact that the man had died of heart dis- eaee or apoplexy. The body. was removed to Hogan & Harris' morgue, where it re- mained for a few days. It was then an- nounced tothe newspaper reporters tha, , in- asmuch as the dead man had not been idezr- tified, the body had .been interred in the Potter's Field. On Sunday Colonel Sills went to theundertaking rooms of Hogan & Harris and asked to see the body. It was not there, but he identified the clothes as the property of Mrs. Sills' brother, Thomas A. Sharp. He askeda member of the firm where the body was. He was told that it had been buried in the Potter's Field. Col- onel Sills wets not satisfied, however. He had gramme suspicions that it had been re- moved to a medical college. An investiga- tion was begun, and it was learned that Coroner' Bell had given a college professor an order for the body, and that ith ad been taken to the medical departinent of Wooster University. . Colonel 1Sills went to the col- lege on Monday i mornn g and those found the body. .It had not been mutilated, and was promptly identified. Colonel Sills said. that the dead man was formerly a resident or Seaforth, Canada. He was a Canadian of English parentage, and was sixty-two years old. He had! property valued at $20,000, most of which was in real estate. His ivife died two yere ago last May, and he came to this city , tending to enter in some small business. He boarded at No. . _ Ad uitrd tea t there be zt rfe o faltley, t 90w �' u a letter, vtatt that Sianleyon the tit of Ortolr,be wait1 Jaye {reaching his deetinat1on. The lake voyage from tloderith to Fort William was very rough, and some of itis stock suf- fered from sees sickness for a short time. At Fort William he took the Canadian Prci6c Railway for ltat Portage, where he was too late to catch the boat, and had to wait over nine days, finally arriving at his destination on the 22nd of October. He has ploughed on his farm one day since his return, and there was a frost on the 29th, severe enough to stop ploughing up ill noon. He says there are lots of chances for a man to get good land there with some wood on it too. The land is principally buh but not hard to clear. It will cost him a out six dollars per acre to clear his land, ch pped, logged and ready for burning. ' Wh n that is done he can go right in with -the low, as there are no stumps to bather with. The Government is making roacl . as fast -as the ;country is set- tled up, and settlers are going in fast. The lots along the river are all taken up, but there isplentyof good land back from it g yet. Mr. Francis is located in Morley township. There has lately bees a find of gold made at Fort Francis, Minnesota,which has created . considerable stir in Rainy River. Wood is worth $2 per cord at the River, oats 45 cents per bushel, potatoes 45 cents --per bushel. Wheat has not yet been sown for sale, only for hen feed. j It brings one cent per 'pound, corn one cant per pound, and flour is $2.20 per hundred weight at the Government Dock. There is a store, a school, a church and a tin shop at the Dock. Mr. Francis' place is four miles Grassy from the River, on the (xraasy River road. Three families.iiave just -recently taken up land close by him. : He intends returning to Huron in the Spring for more stock and grain, ae he sold five head of stock just the day after he landed. Ha, will be glad to give information at any time to any who wish to learn more abent`that portion of the country. - EGMOND VILLE NOTES. —T-wo very neatly designed monuments were erected 'in our cemetery last week, one in memory of the late Mre.

FELL OFF A ROOF. —An accident occurred shortly before noon on November 3, at the new Knox church, whereby two of the elate roofers narrowly escaped serious injury or death.
