John Beacom died at his residence, Clinton, on Thursday, April 13, at the age of nearly 78 years. Deemed was born in Fermanagh, Irelani, the county whose people are racially the most Anglo Saxon in ;he green isle and more British than many portions of the sister island. He came to Canada in 1837 and settled in Goderich town, where he remained a couple of yeare, then removed to Hul- lett, adjoining the present corporation of Clinton. About twenty years ago he removed to Clinton, where he since resided. Though not a demonstrative man, he was the soul of kindness and integrity,and by industry and frugality Was enabled to pass his declining years in comfort in the loving company of the ahoeen helpmate of his youth, who survives him after a blessed conlpau• ionship of some 57 years. The funeral took place Saturday, to Clinton ama- tory. The Rev. Mr. Fairlie, of the church of England, officiated at the house and grave. Mr. Fairlie's re- marks at the house were laden with comforting words to the aged widow and sorrowing friends.

Some forty carriages and a large number of pedestrians made up the funeral procession. The pall- ctabearers were Mesere. John Sheppard, ex mayor Doherty, John McGarva, W. r T. Whitely, Alex. McKenzie, and Geo. Sheppard of Goderich. Of the decertsed'e immediate family, besides • the widow, there survives but one eon, Thomas, of Goderich township. One eon died some years ago as also did one daughter, Mrs. James Sheppard. • sThe separation of those;who lived and loved together for neatly threescore yeare will doubtless bo a sore trial to the widow.
