OSITrAnY.-The grira reaper has again
been in our midst, this time claiming for its
victim Mr. John Hooey, horse buyer, a
man well known over all Western Ontario.
six weeks ago he left his home here and
went to Eirnvale to buy a load of horses.
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. The early part of
ata Hooey's life was spent in Wellesley.
.At 25 years of age" he removed. to Turn -
berry, where he purchased a farm, on which
he lived for five years. After that time he
sold his farm and went to reside in the vil-
lage of Wroxeter. After another five years,
he bought a farm four miles from Wr, xeter,
ci
in Howick, where he lived fourteen ears.
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. Mr. Hooey leave a wife, four daugh-
ters and one son to mou n the lows of a kind
husband and loving fat er. He also leaves
seven sisters and two briithers. The sisters
are Mrs. Wilson, of Mil erton; Mrs. Clegg,
of Listowel; Mrs„H tinge, of Britton ;
Mrs. Eliscooks and Mrs Bunton, ofces•
ir
water ; Mrs e Logan, of arberry, alan'toba,
and Mrs. Forsyth, of St. Tnomas. The
brothers are Mr. Rober Hooey, of rose -
hill, and Mr. James 1 ooey, of Wiartoo.
The sorrowing friends b ve the sympathy of
& host of friends both at home and abroad.

twenty-one jears since Toronto Exhibition

that time it has increased five fold in every
direction, and to -day can fairly lay claim to
have mistimed a national character. Last
.year upwards of 300,000 people attended,
and this year such arrangements are being
made as will vairat the expectation of a
still larger ati endanee. Many entirely new
features will be presented, while the ex-
hibits, with a i i rorbased amount given in
