sudden death n Guelph of Mr. W. A. appearance,
McLean, barrister of that city, which i will arrive
occurred the previous Friday evening.
Mr. McLean was a nephew of the Iate
M. Y. McLean, of The Expositor, and
spent New Years at the home.. of Mrs.
McLean in Seaforth. The Free Press
says: "Death came in a startling and
sudden manner to a highly respected
citien of Guelph last .evening, when
William Alexander McLean, the well-
known barrister, died. Mr. McLean
was in his usual robust health and was
at his office as usual. After supper
he left his room at the Y.IVI.C.A. and
went to the home of his lifelong friend,
John A. Mowat, on Suffolk street. He
lighted his pipe and sat down in front
of the fireplace, with Mr. and Mrs::
Mowat to enjoy a pleasant social ev-
ening as he was often wont to .do and
was conversing when he suddenly put
his hand to his head, his pipe fell out
of his mouth and F. expired almost
instantly. Mr. McLean was born in
Ayr, Waterloo County, in 1859, and
was the second son of the late Donald
McLean, collector of inland revenue,
Guelph. He was educated at Galt and
Kitchener Collegiates. He was called
to the bar in 1883, and entered into
partnership with John A. Mowat of
this city, with offices at Guelph end
Acton. Upon the appointment{ of E.
F. B. Johnston, K.C., as deputy-at--
torne-y-general of Ontario, he severed.
his connection with Mr. Mowat and
took over the law practise of the for-
mer and for ; the most part had con-
tinued to practice ever since. Mr.
McLean was regarded as a sound law-
yer and held the esteem and respect
of his professional brothers as well
as the community at large. He was
a member of the board of Guelph Gen-
eral hospital for a number of years,
Was ex -president of St. Andrew's
Society and took an active interest in
other public bodies."

THIRTY-FIVE YEARS AGO IN
SEAFORTH
From the files of The Expositor
dated January, 1883, thirty-five years
ago, we learn that January, 1918, has
not a monopoly of all the cold weather
and storms, although this Year) Janu-
ary has far surpassed- its predecessor
in cold as the thermometer registered
25 below iri Egmondville on Saturday
afternoon lest We also include some
of the leading events of that byegone
The Storni of the Season.—The peo-
ple of this usually highly favored sec-
tion of Her Majesty's domains, have
for several days enjoyed (?) the ex-
perience of a- genuine blizzard. On
Saturday afternocin last the ;weather
became extremely mild, and a heavy
rainfall set in, but sometime between
Saturday- night and. Sunday morning'
the weather wheel took a sudden turn
and the fiestlook out on Simday morn-
ing revealed the change. It was snow-
ing and blowing.at &furious rate. The.
storm continued to increase in violence
until Monday morning, when it was
about as bad as there was any neces-
sity for.' This continued until Wednes-
day evening. nBusinesa was almost
entirely suspended. The roads were
completely blocked, and on Monday
anti Tuesday it was almost too rongh
for any person to be around. At 9
o'clock on Tuesday morning the. ther-
mometer register 6 degrees below zero
end a furious gale of wind blowing.
There was no train on the Grand
Trunk from Saturday night until
Thursday evening. A special convey-
ance was dispatched to Stratford on
Tuesday evening, which returned from
there with the math on Wedriesaay
night, and no mails were received from
the west from Saterday until Thurs-
day afternoon. It was the severeet
storm we have experienced here 'for
several. years, but although the cold
was intense in other sectibns the snow
fall was light. Traffic on the main
line of the Grand Trunk was not in-
terfered with and the trains ran with
tolerable regularity between. London
and Wingham. Yesterday however,
was a calm pleasant clay, and folks are
now beginning to get themselves dug
out.
