THE LATE MR. NEBBITT.—The Re
gjna Standard of a recent issue thus re-
fers to the death of a former resident
of this village:—The sudden and alto-
gether unexpected death of Mr. Joseph
S. Nesbitt, which occurred early on
Saturday morning, was a shock to the
people of Regina, among whom he was
well and favorably known. He had
been down with typhoid fever about
two weeks and was thought to be well
nigh recovery. From the first day
that his illness confined him to his
room he received the closest attention,
the fraternal societies of which he was
a member having taken prompt action
in that respect. Drs. Cotton and
Willoughby were in daily attendance,
but in spite of skill and attention death
conquered. A. joint meeting of Odd -
fellows, Foresters and Firemen was
held and a committee was appointed
to take full charge. The funeral on
Sunday afternoon was a large and
most respectably conducted one. Rev.
J. A. Carmichael, of whose church the
deceased was a member, conducted a
brief service at the hall, assisted by
Rev. F. W. Auvache, of the Baptist
church. The Band led the funeral pro-
cession, followed by Fire Brigade,
Foresters and Oddfellows in the order
named. The afternoon was fine and
calm. This, with the solemn strains of
the Dead March, and the tolling of the
fire bell, lent much to the impressive-
ness lof the occasion. At the grave
after the church Service, the burial
ceremony of the Oddfellows was
beautifully conducted, the Foresters
joining with them in depositing each a
sprig of evergreen. The floral wreaths,
of which there were many, have been
sent, together with letters of con-
dolence, to the parents and other re-
latives in Blyth, Ont. Mr Nesbitt was
a pleasant, jovial, and agreeable young
man who rapidly formed for himself an
ever -widening circle of friends.
Dangers stand thick through all the ground,
To push us to the tomb;
And fierce diseases wait around,
To hurry mortals home.
Infinite.ioy, or endless woo,
Attends on every breath;
And yet how unconcerned we go
Upon the brink of doathl
Waken, 0 Lord our drowsy sense,
To walk this dangerous road!
And If our souls be hurried hence,
May they be found with God.

OsiTueas.—The march of time is ever on •
ward. Swift and silently are dropping
frcm our midst those ancient landmarks of
the past generation, they in their youth
found this Canada of ours covered in prim-
eval grandeur, with the giants of the forest.
To the courage, pereverance and energy of
such we are indebted for a home. Last
Monday morning an addition was made to
the large silent majority in the person of
Mr Enos Elkin. Deceased was born in the
County of Donegal, Ireland, emigrating to
this conntry when only five years of age,
landing in New Brunswick, remaining
there until the year 1850, when he removed
to this township, settling on lot 45. conces-
sion 14. After a few years he surveyed a
part of the farm into village lot 5; tbns
forming a starting point for the present
village of Manchester. To his keen percep-
tion of business we are indebted for the
flour mills, turning the waters of the Mait-
land to good account, in furnishing the ne-
cessary power. He was quiet and reserv-
ed regarding the services of a public capa-
city; and a strong advocate of Liberal prin-
ciples. The aged partner of his joys and
sorrows, two sone and five daughters sur-
vive him, to mourn the loss of a kind and
affectionte helpmate, and a loving and ten •
der parent. He was a Baptist in religion.
His sons, intent on a business pursuit in
lite, he eold his farm, and removed to the
village of Manchester. He had passed the
allotted four snore years by two years and
six month. His remains were interred in
Ball's Cemetry, followed by a large number
of friends and acquaintances. By the lives
of enoh the youths of the present may take
confidence, and up and onward in the pun.
snits of life.

in business here. He represented this
riding in the Legislative Assembly in
the days of the late Hon. John Sand -
field McDonald, and has at all times
taken an active and keen interest in
everything pertaining to the welfare of

It is something thatlwill fill a long -felt
want in the threshing line. It works
like a charm.

A SENSATION.—One night last week
while Mr Thos. Cook was putting his
horses up, he was startled by the ap-

rell, (Clinton) C. Nesbitt, J. Trewartha,

ard, all old friends of deceased, and
had been selected by him before his
death. Mr Rudd had a daughter bur-
ied in Goderich cemetery 34 years ago,
and no death had taken place in his
family in the interim, an occurrence
so unusual as to cause the caretaker
to express surprise.

BEAVERS CHAMPIONS. — At Brant-
ford, on Monday afternoon, the pro-
tested lacrosse match between Furgus
and Seatorth was played off on the
Rosalea Atheletic grounds, and result-
ed in favor of Seaforth, four games to
two. The Se forth team reached
Brampton on a regular G.T.R. train,
with their ba and firemen afid about
100 admirers of the team. About 150
lacrosse enthusiasts accompanied the
Fergus contingent. At 2.45the referee
blew his whistle and the game started.
The ball was immediately shot on Fer-
gus goal and remained in that vicinity
until the first game was scored for Sea -
forth, by Johnston, in 2i minutes.
The second game also fell to Seaforth
in 7i minutes, scored by Brierly. In
this game there was some very rough
play. A Fergus man was cautioned
and a delay of ten minutes occurred,
in which there was considerable jang-
ling, and an enthusiastic spectato.
from Seaforth jumped into the oval to
see tair play. e was escorted to the
fence by Dr Roberts. Seaforth was
given a f ee throw. Fergus won the
third game in three minutes; scored by
Irving. The fourth game was hotly
contested. Fergus made a determined
effort to win, but after 13 minutes fail-
ed, and Seaforth scored again, Brown
Jackson doing the trick. Fergus again
gained heart after scoring the fifth
game in half a minute, Mickie shoot-
ing the ball through. The sixth game
was won by Seaforth after 6 minutes
play, by Freeman, although some sav
the Goalkeeper fumbled and let the ball
go through his own goal. The quality
of the play was about even. Both
teams showed some beautiful combin-
ation work and teamlplay, but gener-
ally it was a scramble for the ball.
Fergus had a great many chances to
score but failed tc take them. Black,
the home player, perhaps` their strong-
est man, was off, and this may in some
measure account for the ;result. Sea -
forth thus wins the senior champion-
ship.

BAYFTELD'S FIRST PLANK SIDEWALK
—At the last meeting of the Bayfield
council a step forward was taken in
the history of our village by the or-
dering of a plank sidewalk to be laid
on Anne St. Although this is a back
street,, not much frequented during
the week, yet on it stands the Metho-
dist church. By reason of the very
quietness of this street cattle etc. con-
gregate there largely, with the result
that it is hardly possible to find a clean
passage through it on Sunday, andat
night many persons have been deter-
red from attending the church services.
It is to remedy this difficulty that the
council, at the request of the pastor of
the church, has ordered the sidewalk,
and it deserves the thanks of the Meth-
odist community for thus promptly
recognizing their need, and by an al-
most unanimous vote, granting their
request. This will be the first side-
walk of the kind to have been laid in
Bayfleld, and the council of 1895 is to
be congratulated on this, which we
hope is but the beginning of better
things, as well as on the other good
work it has accomplished in the way
of road grading etc., which will be
fully appreciated when the spring
time comes.
