DEATH OT MISS WATT.—We deeply re-
gret this week torecordthe death of Miss
Hellen Watt, which took place at the home
of her brother, John, near Harloek, on
Wednesday. 'Miss Watt was 48 years of
age. She was the youngest daughter of the
late Alexander Watt, who died in Binbrook,
where Miss Watt was borne. She wite aleo
a sister of Mr. Alexander' Watt, of Clinton,
and Mr. John Watt, of Hullett. She had
lived with the latter ever since corning to
Hullete. Sho had been ill all summer, and
was a severe but patient sufferer, and as her
ailments was incurable, her final release was
a welcome one to her. She was a meet
amiable and Christian lady, and was beloved
by her own relatives and highly respected
by all who knew her. The remains were in-
terred in Burns' cemetery on Friday. The
sincere sympathy of many will be extended
to the deeply bereaved relatives.
OBITUARY.—Mr. Gavin Hamilton, whose
remains were -followed to their last resting
place, in Burns' church cemetery, on Friday,
the llth inst., by a very large number of
mourning friends and sympathizing neigh-
bors, was born at Lanarkshire, Scotland, in
the year 1829. Twenty-eight years later
he set sail from Glasgow, accompanied by
Mr.. Hamilton, the eldest sister ofthe lace
lamented Professor R. Y. Thomson, of
Knox College. There sailed in the same
Steamship, Mr. Hamilton's sister and her
husband, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Scott. Both
couples were 00 their wedding trip to their
far-off Canadian lawne. The subject of this
sketch tit once *tied in Hullett, on lot 16,
concession 10, Where he resided for 43 years,
until his dee*. The farm on which he set-
tled was almost entirely a virgin forest.
Through his skillful -management and hard
toil, it is now- a well cleared farm, with the
finest of buildings. A staunch Presbyterian,
Mr. Hamilton was always deeply interested
in church matters. He was one of the rep-
resentative', of only eight families, that.met
to take measures for building the first
church of that denomination in the neigh-
borhood. That church received its name
from Dr. Burns, of Knox College, Toronto;
who preached the opening services. For
many years Mr. Hamilton taught in the
Sabbath school, and managed a vitt of the
church's finances. In politics he was a Re-
former. A man of few words and retiring
disposition, he never sought to push himself
forward, but was greatly loved and respect-
ed by alwho knew him. He leaves behind
him, a idow, five sons and four daughters,
vi
to mourl the loss of a loving husband and
kind father.
