About five o'clock on Wednesday
afternoon Mr. William Dyment was
suddenly stricken with congestive
apoplexy. The geutleman was at
once removed tu his room, where
the Doctors Shannon were soon in
attendance, but so severe was the
attack that their medical skill was
powerless, the patient passing quiet-
ly away at 10 p.m. Mr. Dyment it
appears had, with Captain Macleod,
been busily engaged during the
afternoon at the dock and while so
engaged had taken a hearty drink
of ice cold lemonade, a drink that
is held by many to have superin-
duced the congestion that has filled
a plot in God's Acre with the mor-
tal remains of one who was known
in this neighborhood as a most
generous and kindly. man. After
leaving .the harbor ho drove up
towu, and separating from Captaiu
Macleod .was proceeding to. his•
lodging, and while in front of the
British Exchange he hurriedly sat
dowu in a chair ou the sidewalk,
then raising his hands above his
head and breathing a powerful sigh
he .fell back unconscious. It may
he mentioned that the deceased had
,been for.some time under the care
of 1)r. Whitely, who was treating_
him for A. serious complication of
heart troubles, but so strongly was
the disease engrafted that ou the
evening preceding his death he
naeutioned the fact to an intimate
friend, coupled with an earnest
request that the friend would pray
for him. On reaching his room he
. was so bad as to .be uuable to rest,
but with his usual consideration for
others ha -did not. complain, and at
early dawn rose and tried to ward
• off the attack. The attempt, how-
ever, *as futile, as tho exertion
combined with the excessive heat
aggravated rather than lessened the
power of the fatal malady. In
losing Mr. Dyrnent Godetich loses
one of her most esteemed and enter-
prising citizen, and in the words
of an old resident who had often
worked for him, "He will over be
rim -imbued as one of the most
symprthetic and conailerate of
men." There were two funeral ser-
vices in commotion with the inter-
ment, that at Godorich being con-
ducted by Rev. Geo. Richardson, an
old friend of the nunily, and that at
Barrie by Revs. McLeod, Couron
and Cpllah. The pall bearers at,
Godorich wore deceased's old school,
companions, Dr. aud Bedford Rich-
ardson, and Messrs. F. AV. Johnston,
R. nwt., W J. Swanson and Capt.
I/. Macleod, and at Barrie Meal's.
.1. R. Cotter, C. H. Ross, S. Lount,
J. M. Steveson, Dr. lAlcNivon and.
Captain Lyons, members of the
Dark) curling club. There was a
large attendance at the Godorich
station to witness the departure for
Barrio, at which town an immense
number of friends were present to
show respect to their ono time
townsman and friend. The remains
were interred on Friday afternoon
iu the family plot in the Union
cemetery, a very large number of
relatives and friends being present.
In Goderich the flags on the vessels
and at the. harbor were at half mast
as the sad procession moved to the
station, and among those of our
townspeople who knew the man
there Wier a heartfelt sympathy for
deceased's parents, relatives and
friends.

Eclair?. News -Record.
DRAB Sia.-1.‹indly publish the
following in your 'toper. In the loeal
news of the N. iv Era, a statement
was published in regaid to a certain
person in town who hadigiven an
agent an order for three rose bushes.
The version of it es given by the
Era is not true. The lady said she
would like to have thein or else
would not have been urged to buy
them, then gave the order and
signed it and the agent vset only
half' an hour in the house.' 'rhe hos•
band wrote me an insolent letter the
next day wanting to cancel order
saying he would not pay for them.
The New Era takes a garbled version
of the effeir and makes a comment
on it calculated to injure the Argent,
which he not very creditable or even
decent of the editor. Ile had better
tust'erstand that town or country is
as free to an agent who ie doing a
legitimate business r. it i; to his
partial sheet. '1.10 agesit who de-
livered the stock sold here says it
tins given the best of satisfaction.
