partly in the western corner of the
Township of Logan, but principally
in the Township of Hibbert. Dublin is

-something very rare in Ontario, if
indeed, there is another. Their organ-
ization is provided for by cap. 474, of
the Consolidated Statutes of Ontario,
the details of government being espec-
ially laid down in sections 562 to 597,
inclusive. The manner in which they
differ from an unincorporated village
is, that although the assessments, lev-
ies, &c., of taxes are conducted by
township officers, the proportionate
Share belonging to the territory includ-
ed within the limits of the Police Vil-
lage is subject (in the hands of the
Township. Treasurer) to the order of
the "Trustees," three of whom are an-
nually elected to receive from said
treasurer and expend as they see fit
(with certain restrictions), their said
share of the general levy. At the same
time, the village belongs to the town-
ship for all other purposes except
those above mentioned. The Police
Village of Dublin became such on the
first July, 1878e -at which time it re-
ceived its present name -having been
previously knoWn as Carronbrook; or-
iginally very appropriately so called
after a beautiftil little stream or brook
which flows paet the place. The first
"Trustees elected in Dublin were Jos-
eph Kidd, Thomas King and Alexander
Ross; and the first named was chosen
by the others "Inspecting Trustee."
The population of the village is esti-
mated at 750, but only that portion
within the Township of Hibbert is con-
stituted a Police Village. One Fox
was the first settler, the Canada Com-
pany having given him two hundred
acres for erecting and keeping a log
tavern. He was soon succeeded by
Robert Duncan, now of Port Rowan,
who gave the place its first name. U.

kept the first post office. The village

The method of management of the

He was the first tothold religious ser -
in the township, and at a very early
date built the first church -a little log

edifice was partially built by Father
Schneider, of Goderich, who was suc-
ceeded for a short time by Father

trict. In 1888 he had his first experi-

the township council of Essa. He
married a daughter of the late John

of Agriculture for Ontario, is dead
Taken ill while on a visit to Allisto
late Friday afternoon, he died in
the house of a friend before medical

The late Mr. Duff reached his horn

feeling in good health after a week at
work in his office in Toronto. On Frie

EMPEROR OF ATJSTRIA DEAD.
Emperor Francis Joseph died Tues-
day night at nine o'clock, at Sehoen-
brunn Castle, according to a Reuter
despathh from Vienna by way of Am-
sterdam.
The first intimation received that
Emperor Francis Joseph's health was
again the subject of solicitation was
contained in a despatch dated Novem-
ber 12th, emanating from a Vienna
news agency, which reported that the
Emperor had been suffering- for some
days from a slight catarrhal affection.
Subsequent reports from various
sources, more or less conflicting, re.
presented that his condition W4S be-
coming worse, but none of them indi-
cated that his illness threatened to
reach a critical state and from Vienna
came assurances that he was still able
to give _audiences to one or more Min-
isters daily.
It is doubtful if in all history there
has been an active authenticated reign
longer than that closed by the death
of Francis Joseph.
At nineteen years of age he ascend-
ed the throne of Austria! upon abdica-
tion of his uncle, Ferdinand 1., Dec.
2, 1848, his death Tuesday ending an
active reign of 68 years, all biot the
first twenty which he was also Apos-
tolic King of Hungary.
In recorded history there ceeetainly
has been no reign equal in period of
time of that of the Hapsburg, which I
closed Tuesday. Louis XIV. of France Connaught. The Duchess of Devon -
was nominally king for 72 years. He
astually occupied the throne for 'little
more than half a century. A Closer
rival, and the only one of modern
times, was Queen Victoria, who reign-
ed for 64 years.
Francis Joseph's reign was as event-
ful as it was long. From his Im-
perial vantage point, he saw the
French monarchy go down, the eecond
empire rise and crumble, the come

saw the papacy shorn of its territorial

welded into a united Italy; he saw
Spain, once the greatest of colonial
powers, lose the last of her dependen-
cies in two oceans; he saw Japan
opened to western civilization, and
later defeat the Colossus of two con-
tinents; he saw the most absolute de-
spotisms -Russia, Turkey and Persia
-concede representation to the peo-
ple; he saw at a distance the United
States cement its federation with the
blood of a great internecine war, and
he saw his own brother deposed from
the Mexican throne and shot.
In his own country he faced inter-
nal deccenedions and external aggres-
sions froni the moment he came to
the throne. By the war of 1859 with
France and Sardinia he was forced
to cede Lembardy to Italy; by force
of arms aod treaty he lost the Duchy
of Holstein to Prussia and Venice to
Italy, and 'by the revolt of Kossuth,
the Hugarian patriot, he barely es-
caped having his dual empire cut in
two.
Of the tragedies which marked his
reign, and they were many, there was
none which struck so deeply at him
as the strange and still unsolved death
of his son, which has popularly been
attributed to suicide as a consequence
of a dark and secret intrigue, and the
.assassination of his Empress. His
marriage to Princess Elizabeth of
Bavaria was a love match to -which
he had difficulty in obthining the con-

The death of Hon. Mr, Duff was a
shock to his colleagues, and to the
wider circle outside the Cabinet, wh
were in daily touch with him, f
while it was recognized that the Mi
ister's health was not the best, the
was little fear that it would take him
out of public life for some time to
conie. Undoubtedly the news of Ifs
son's death at the front a fortnig t
ago had a great deal to do with ha -
tening his death, He appeared to
bear up well when the sorrowful new
reached him, but those who knew hi
most intiinately understood how s
vere the blow had been.
The late Mr. Duff had never been
well since the breakdown nearly a
year ago that confined him to bed
for weeks. At that time grave doubts
of his recovery were felt, but his
rugged constitution pulled him
through, and after a month or two Sif
taking things quietly at his home e
was able to get back to his publ c
duties in Toronto. A little over a
month ago he was again on the si k
list, and it was on the da.y that
came back to his office, a day brigh
