After being there a week he was stricken with disease, and his family were summon- ecl to hie bedside. After a time, however, he got some better, and the family, with the exception of his wife and second daughter, returned home. This improvement in his condition lasted only a shert titre, however, and he rapidly grew weaker, and at last passed peaeefully away without a etruggle on Tuesday morning, the 18th inst. His remains, aecompanied by his wife and daughter, and a friend from Elmvale, came bome on the night train. His casket was covered with wreaths from his friends, one of them from his sisters was marked with the word "brother." The funeral, which was very largely attended, took place on Thursday afternoon, when his remaina were iaterred in their last resting place in MOITie cemetery, Turnberry.

Last winter he sold his farm and cane to reside in Clifford. During the last twenty rare Mr. Hooey spent Most of his time in buying and shipping horses. He was the .first man to ship horses to Manitoba, having made seventy-one trips to that Province. He dossed the ocean, to and from Great Britain, twenty-sevenimes. In addition i to buying horses, Mr. a ooey also bought large quantities of cat le, aheep, hogs and gain.
