BITUARY.—We regret very m eh to be

ot ur citizens, in the persoie of Mr. James
Mullin, in the 69th year of his age. He
wa one of the pioneers of ;Bruce county,
hay ng came here over forty years ago, and
has been a residence of thiS section ever
since. We are glad to say that his friends
were many, as he was ome of the most
widely -known men this Mdtion of country.
The funeral, which was as large as has been
in these plias for some Vole, took place
from his late residence here on Saturday,
3rd inst., to the Dungannon cemetery.
Among his relatiyes from a diseance we no-
ticed Mrs. Philips, eof CoOkstown ; Mrs.

Dr. and Mrs. Whitely, of Goderi h ; Mr.
Frank McDonagh and Mr. lames °Bride,
of Smith's Hill. The funeral service was
condacted by the Rev. Mr. Whaley, of St.
Helens. A very pretty wreeth of flowers,
as a token of love from the sons of the de-
ceased, was laid upon the coffin. The pall
bearers were five of the Clect3ased's sons,
Robert; of Lucknow, James and Torrance,
of Toronto, John S. of Gore Bay, Horace
H., of VVinnipeg, an'd their cousin, Robert

Love had an adventure a few days ago,
whilieh might have reedited more seriously.
Mr. ,Love was engaged swamping out logs
on the farm of Mr. John Cochrane, of the
Pare line, Hay, when the team which be,
was; driving became unmanageable and
started to run away with a log. In some
way Mr. Love was throsvn with great force
on the log, and to which his clnthes became
fast, the !horses at the same time going at a
furious rete. In some way be OA freed from
his perileus position, and althmigh consider-
ably shaken up and bruised, he, is not seri-
ously injared, and is now able to be around
all right.
