OBITIIARY.—It is with deep regi et
we have to announce the death of Mr

respected citizens. The sad event took
place on the morning of Teeslay, 7th
inst. at the residence of his son, Mr R.
K. He had not taken to his bed
one day previous, but it might be said
he had never recovered from the shock
calmed by the sudden death of his wife,
about five years ago, in Toronto. Ile
has never been the same since that sad
bereavement. • Mr Miller was a native
of Lanarkshire, • Scotland, near the
banks of the river Clyde. The deceased

Church for about thirty years, and
had often been the representative to
the higher conrts of the church. He

ville. north of Toronto, and in Gode-

children, six sons and three daughters;
all survive him except one son, who
died in Australia in the month of June
last. Messrs J. R. Miller, late P.S. In-
spector, Goderich, now a barrister in
Toronto, and W. R. Miller, late Prin-
cipal of the Goderich public school, and
now living in Winnipeg, are two sons
of the deceased. The names of the
others are Richard, Robert and Thom-
as; all three are merchants. The de-
ceased was, in politics, a Reformer.
His remains were followed to Lucknow,
on Wednesday morning, by a large
number of friends, to go by'the G.T.R.
