Obituary of Caleb Cudmore.
• (written tor Tee EXPosms..)
Caleb Cudmore, youngest eon of Thomas
end Mary Ann Cuoinnore, was boil] in the
township of Utsborne in. March, 1878 and
died in Toronto hospital on April 3rd, 1900,
aged 22 year. • He was born of pious
parents and his earlier surroundings were of
a spiritual nature. He was converted in a
service held in the Bethesda church. He
took a lively interest in the Sunday school
and when home from school or college for
vacation wae an earnest worker in the
Epworth League. The public service was
regularly attended and highly prized.
About six year ago he attended the high
school in Seaforth, taking his third and
second-class certificate's. During all this
time he made his home with hie- uncle,
William Copp, where he was ' regarded u
one of the family.
Wiahing to qualify himself f r profession-
al life, (probably a high sobbed teacher)
about two years and ten months ago, he
entered Toronto University, taking the, arts
course. He was favorably regerded by the
faculty and loved by the 'students. He
entered heartily into the sports on the
eampus. He wee one of the members of
Va rsity foot ball club.
But his love for sport did not interfere
with his studies or damper) his religious
fervor. He joined the Young Men's Christ-
ian Association, took an active part in all
its work, and as an evidence of the coal
denim reposed in him he was elected as
treasurer.. At the time of his death he was
assistan treasurer.
A sho t time before his fatal sickness a
party was held in his boarding house and
he was invited to join it, which he did, but
when it degenerated into a dance he quietly
withdrew and went to his room, preferring
the society of his books and communion
with his God.
About the last prayer meeting he attend-
ed of the Young Men's Christian Associ-
stion he led in prayer—praying most earn-
estly that God would show them their duty,
and then give them courage to do it.
For some months previous to his death he
complained of headache, but never for a
moment dreamed that the insidionsidisease,
meningitis, was gradually doing its fatal
work.
While writing on his examination it sud-
denly developed and be was taken to the
hospital. Father and mother were 'tele-
graphed for, and all that medical skill, care-
ful nursing and money could do, was done,
but to no purpose. But death found him
ready. A meeting of his class was held, a
beautiful wreath was sent to be laid on his
coffin, and a member of his elms, Mr. W.
T. Nicholas, Was sent to Exeter to repreeent
the class and the Young Men's Chrietisn
Association at the funeral. which took place
from his sister's'Mrs. Wesley Harvey,
Thames Road, for Exeter cemetery.
The funeral service was conducted by
Rev. G. Jewitt, assisted by an uncle of the
deceased, Rev. J. Ball. But a marked
feature of the service was the touching ad-
dress delivered by Mr. Nicholas, eulogistic
of the deceased's life and character. The
funeral was very largely attended and many
were the expressions of sympathy for the
bereaved family. ,
And now, ,
The churchyard bears ano her stone,
The Ibreeide shows an e pty chair ; •
Here sadness sits and wee s alone, •
And death displays her anner there.
The form has gone, the li e. has fled,
And what has been no more shall be ;
.` The well kno wn form, the welcome voice,
0, where are they and where is be?
Sixty Year Ago.
WHAT MIGHTY GRANO S f8INCE TIM 1
Sixty years after, " WaS the title of a
very interesting story told to the Hamilton
Times reporter by Mr. Andrew MacWil-
liams a few days ago. Mr. MacWilliams
is the father of Rev. A. McWilliams, B. A.,
pastor of the Wentworth Presnyterian
church, and was on a visit to his son in
Hamilton when the reporter interviewed
him. It is over 60 years since alma he was
in Hamilton, and naturally enough finds
the changes somewhat startling.
About 1837, Ali-. MacWilliams, then a
young man of 20, came from Scotland and
settled in Canada, in Sherbrook township,
Lanark county. After living there for
three years he decided to take Horace
Greeley's advice and go west. He took the
boat to Hamilton and Mr. MacWilliams
confidentially explained that Hamilton was
not much to look at in those days. All of
the houses could be counted from the moun-
tain brow, and the material used in the con-
struction consisted of boards and loge, chief.
ly the latter. Mr. MacWilliams remembers
but one hotel here then, and probably the
proprietor of that hostelry would turn over
several times in his grave if he knew of the
existence of such an institution as the New
Royal. •
There were no steam railways, and elec-
tricity as a motive power was unthought of
•in thoee days. All transportation was done
by boat andastage The wharf for landing
was then somewhere in the vicinity of
James street. Mr. MacWilliams saw his
first yoke of oxen in Hamilton, and he re•
lates how he stood and admired their fine
proportions as they tugged at their loads.
Indians were as thick then as bicycles are
now,
and the red man played an important
partin the running of affairs. Very little
- cleared land was available, and when a set-
tler wanted a farm he had to clear it for
• himself. •
After staying in Hamilton for several
days, Mr. MacWilliams, in eompany with
t o other settlers, Samuel Ferrie and
rchibald Campbell, secured teams and
s arta north. When nightfall came they
vfrouid lie down on the ground and sleep,
✓ suming their- journey in the mousing.
hey finally settled in Usborne township, in
uron county. Mr. MacWilliams is now a
✓ sident of Marthaville, near Petrolea, and
i the father of four sons and five daughters.
e is hale and hearty, and is a good speci-
en of the hardy old pioneer that Canada
wes so much to.

Of Interest to Fishermen.
A bill—bas been introduced into the Leg -
i lature by the Government, and will, no
doubt, become law, which makes some im-
portant changes in the Fisheries Aot. This
Act provides that every person fishing in
Provmcial waters and every dealer in fieli
shall permit the inspection and examination
of fish taken by him or in his possession. In
case of a refusal to permit such inspection
or examination, the fishery overseer is given
power, with or without a saarch warrant, to
examine. the contents of any boat or veasel,
or any fish car, ox, locker, •etc., and to
break open door4, lock or fastenings. All

sale or exportation from the Province of
speckled trout, bass, or maskinonge caught
in Provincial waters before the let of July,
1903, is prohileited. A close season for
sturgeon is established from the 15th of
April to the 1.6th of June, and none are to
be ()aught, taken or killed without a license.
The closed season fer speckled or brook
trout is made from the 1st of September to
the let of May, instead of from the 15th of
September, as formerly. The length of
maskinonge which may be caught is made
24 inches instead of 15, and the licenee fee,
entitling foreign anglers to fish in Lake
Nipigon, is raised from $10 to $25.

DEAR EXPOSITOR, --- As IRMA in oats
demon' .seriona lois to the 'farmers in this
part of the province, both in the yield of
grain and the quality of straw, I think it
might be worth while if the farmers would
treat their seed oats with the Fermalin Mix-
ture used in coanection with the Experi-
mental Farm, Ottawa. It seems probable
that the results may be quite satisfactory if
a solution tsf 4A- ounces of the Formalin,
mixed with 10 imperial gallons of water,
and the seed immersed in this for 5 to 10
minutes, which can be done by putting the
grain in a coarse sack and putting it in the
solution. Yours,
R. B. Mazola
