The horses stopped so suddenly that Mr. Davidson was thrown off, his nose was broken and he was other- wise bruised. —It is our sad duty again this week to record the death of a well known and respected resident of Grand Bend, in the person of Hugh Love, who paused away on Thursday, October 4th, at the ripe age of 70 years. Deceased was one of the early pio- neers of that place, and one who possessed a hospitable and generous disposition and was highly esteemed by all who knew him. He was also a devoted member •and regular attendant of the Presbyterian church there. During his stay there he won many friends, who share with his wife and family the loss of a kind and devoted hueband and a loving father. —Au arrangement has been entered into by Dr. MacDonald and E.

The remains were interred in the family plot in Dun- gannon cemetery, being followed thither from the residence of hie son Samuel, of Ashfield, by a very large cortege of sorrow- ing relatives and friends. The deceased was one of the pioneera of Ashfield, and by dint of industry and good economy secured to himself and family a good and comfort- able home. He was highly esteemed as a citizen by all with whom he was acquainted for his uprightness in his dealings and in- tegrity of charac'-er. His departure will be felt in the church, of which he was a con- sistent member for many years. He took a very active end zealous part in its progreae and in the furtherance cf the good cause.
