The Pre byterian church in Canada lost one of its outmost and most trusted leaders and weste n Canada a stalwart and char- acteristic gure in the death, on Saturday night, at is home in Toronto, ot Rev. James Ro ertson, D. D., superintendent of missions n the North-west and Britieb Columbia, and field secretary, of the Home Mission C mmittee. Dr. Rob rtson hadbeen for some years a sufferer tiepin diabetes, bub with his deter- mination and vigor he fought off disease and remained Eit his tremendously active work until within about two weeks of his death. About a rnienth ago he got a nasty fall in go- ing to pre oh at Parkdale, and this, coupled with a col which he caught about three weeks sine in coming from North Bay, caused an cute attack of his malady. He was ot confined to the house -for more than abou ten daye, and it was not until Friday mci ning that it was thought his case was a rictus. All Friday hegrew rapid- ly worse, nd on Saturday morning he peen- ed into a sate of corna, and died about 6 p. m., witho t regaining oonecioueness. He leav e, besides Mrs. Robertson, a family of two sone and two daughters, James, in ontreal s Stanley, in Qu'Ap- I pelle • MO. W. Mod. Davidson, of London; and Mrs. Robertson at home. SKETCH OF HIS CAREER. James Robertsone D. D., was born at Dail Appin, So Mend, on April 24th, 1839. Corn- ing early t Canada, he was educated in To- ronto Uni ersity, and took his theological course at T.bion Theological Seminary, and at Prinoet u.

Itr 1874 he was called to Knox ohurch, Winnipeg, and from that time his name has been ; inseparably connected with the Cenadian West. From, 1879 to 1881 he wae lecturer on theology and phil- osophy in Manitoba College, arid was for many year4 a member of the Advisory Board of Eduoati n for Malaitoba. He was ap- pointed nu erintendent of miesions in 1881, and was m de a D. D. of Montreal Presby- terian Coll e in 1888.

Those measures w re stropgly opposed by 'King William 4 h, and it is worthy of remark that it took o er 30 years' fierce agitation for their pas- s ge, as a rebellion in Ireland was -almost in - e liable she being backed by France, Spain a d Austria, and Mr. O'Connell being in the z nith of hie, powenhad unbounded influence o er the Catholics in Ireland. i We will now turn to a more pleasing sub- je a the idiosyncrasy of the Irish wakes, f aerate, marriages, . pilgrimages and ,expi- I a ions.

I was just five years too late to take ei rt in what some call the McKenzie rebel - n, therefore, I could lay no claim to the i demaity paid to the so-called rebels. My m anderings in Canada were somewhat ex- teasive, having first settled:in the °Minty of A dington, near Napaneht. After four y ars' aosourn there I moved to the county of Peel, near Brampton. After the lapse of 2 years I moved to the county of Huron a d retired from farming, which was always m ooctipetion, 30 years ago, and became o • e of the nick -named "drones of Eginond- vi le."
