T!:: E FALL OF TROY e The following poem by a Collegiate pupil, James Ritchie, is a brief sketch of the fall of Troy, as told in Vergil's Aeneid. The story is here couched in a language which we all under- stand: For nine long years the Trojans brave Had kept the Greeks at bay, And now they hoped that in the end The foe would sail away. But, sad to say, the Greeks all said, "We'll have another try, For we must lick those Trojan dogs, So let us do or die." The leading men in council met, The task was not a joke; A silence fell upon them all When brave Ulysses spoke. "Look here, my boys, I've got a plan, I thought it out last night, And if my vision fails me not It ought to work all right. "We'll build a monstrous wooden horse, And fill it full of men, And when we leave those Trojan knaves Will draw it to their den. "One of our men must stay behind And hide here in disguise; He'll say we beat him black and blue, We've got to tell some lies." His hearers cheered and promised him They'd do what they were told, And wait for the appointed time To smoke them from their hold. They had to choose a cunning man, The lot fell on young Si; They mussed him up and bled his nose And almost made him cry. Ulysses with his trusty men Hid in the wooden horse; The rest embarked without young Si, And sailed to Tenedos. STAFFA Notes.—Mr. and Mrs. F.

Carter, of one of the pioneer resi- dents of this county, in the person of Mrs. William Hiles. The deceased was born at Elizabethville, Durham County, being the eldest daughter of the late Richard and Hanna Baskwell. In 1880 she was united in marriage to Mr. William Hiles and the young couple commenced housekeeping on the homestead farm, 11/4 miles north of the village of Londesboro, where they continued to reside until three years ago, when they moved to Clin- ton. Mrs. Hiles had been in failing health for several years, and at Christmas time she was stricken with paralysis, necessitating her removal to the home of her daughter, where in spite of the best medical skill and all that loving hands could do, she gradually sank until Thursday of last week, when she passed peacefully a- way. She was a true Christian wo- man and many warm friends will miss but always remember her smile and kindly words of cheer. She was a life long member of the Methodist church and a life member of the Wo- men's Missionary Society. Mrs. Hiles leaves to mourn her loss her husband, her only daughter, Mrs. Carter, and one grandson, Audrey, of Seaforth. She is also survived by one sister, Mrs. George Neal, of Battle Creek, Michigan; and four brothers, John Barkwell, of Winnipeg; James, of Lucknow; Dr. R. H. Barkwell, of Lon- don, England, and W. S. B. Barkwell, of Toronto. One sister, Mrs. (Dr.) Austin and one brother, Dr. Wesley Barkwell, predeceased her several years ago. Following a short service at the home of her son-in-law, the re- mains . were taken to the Ontario Street . Methodist church, Clinton, where a very impressive funeral ser- vice was conducted by her pastor, Rev. Mr. Morehouse, assisted by Rev. Fulton Irwin, of Seaforth, and the many beautiful floral tributes testi- fied to the love and esteem in ,which she was held in the community. In- terment' was made in Union Ceme- tery, Blyth, the pall bearers being her brother, W. Byers Barkwell; three brothers-in-law, J. N. Campbell, Jas. Elsley and G. H. Neal, and two cous- ins, William Mitchell and Jelin Medd. Among those from a distance who at- tended the funeral were: Mr. and Mrs. G. N. Neal, Battle Creek; Mr. and Mrs. B. Barkwell, Toronto; Mr. and Mrs. William Mitchell, Hespler; Mr. James Barkwell and three sons, Mr. and Mrs. George Brooks and Mrs. Frank McCharles, of Lucknow; Mrs. (Rev.) Medd, Wheatley, and Mr. and Mrs. Milton Hooper and son, of St. Marys. That night when Troy was sound asleep Si let Ulysses out; With torches lit they tore along And raised a mighty shout. The women shrieked,the children yelled The lurid flames rose high; The watchers on fair Tenedos Beheld the glowing sky. The Greeks dashed into every house, The Trojans flew to arms; But ere they reached their swords and spears, They fell in mangled swarms. Did every Trojan perish there On that wild night so dread? Out from the ruins of blazing Troy Four noble people fled. Aeneas with his father old, His wife and little boy, Then turned his back forever on The ruins of his Troy. These four wandered for many years, Until at last were seen The rising walls of strong Carthage, And Dido, the city's queen. And standing at the palace door, She welcomed every guest; So, after all those anxious years, The wanderers found sweet rest. James Moore Ritchie.

About eight o'clock their friends in the vil- lage surprised them by trooping in with good wishes and well filled lunch baskets. After a very enjoy- able hour spent in chat, an' address was read by.: Mrs. Tufford and the presentation of a gold banded Water- man fountain pen to Mrs. Hoggarth and a solid leather wallet to Mr. Hog- garth were respectively made by Mrs. Norman Park and Mrs. William Houghton. Mr. and Mrs. Hoggarth, though greatly surprised, were able to reply' and i;o• thank their friends very sincerely. Mr. Hoggarth is 76 years of age and Mrs. Hoggarth 74. Both are still active and able to be about their different duties each day. They have always lived in this neighbor- hood and are highly respected and valuable citizens, always ready to give a helping hand and a word of sympathy' or advece to those not so wise in years and experience, and we hope they may still have many years together to enjoy a well earned rest from the heavier toils of this world. After joining hands and singing Auld Lang Syne, all repaired to their homes much happier for the enjoyable even- ing spent together. The address, signed by all present, is as follows: "To Mr. and Mrs. Richard Hoggarth. Dear Friends.—We, your friends and neighbors, have met this evening to celebrate in a quiet way the happy event of the fiftieth anniversary of your marriage, which took place fifty years ago yesterday.

MacDonald will regret to learn of his death which occurred in the Seaforth Hospital on Friday morn- ing last in his 66th year. We men- tioned in a former issue Mr. Mac- Donald had been rushed to the hos- pital there about two weeks ago, af- ter suffering a most severe and violent attack of stomach trouble, which he had been suffering from for quite a number of years and which was be- coming all the time more severe. On the evening he was taken to the hos- pital from his farni in Tuckersmith, where he had been working that day, the pain had become so intense that he felt he could hardly live to reach the hospital for the operation, the only chance of his life, and which, although very successfully perform- ed, the deceased's strength was not sufficient to pull him through, and as we have stated he passed away in the early hours of Friday morning last. The deceased, while working his farms in the Township of Tucker - smith, had resided in our village for a long term of years and had also been actively engaged in stock buy- ing and shipping and en that line will be very much missed by the farming community. In politics he was a very staunch Reformer, and took a great interest in palitical matters. In religion he was a Pkesbyterian. Mr. MacDonald was twice married and by his first wife had a son and daughter, the first mentioned being Wellington, who is holding a good position i n Philadelphia, and Edna, who holds a like good position with the Bank of Toronto at London, who together with his widow, nee Miss Anna Carlisle, have the sympathy of the community in their bereavement as the deceased was a kind and indulgent father and kind husband and will not only be much missed by wife and children, but also from the village where he had lived so many years, and only a few years ago built a very fine residence immediately east of the post office. He will also be missed from municipal affairs, in which he took a very live ZURICH Notes.—The local board of Police Trustees have purchased one hundred feet of new fire hose, which added to the hose on hand, should give the village good fire protection.
