Mr Nott emi- grated from Devonshire, Eng., in 1832, and settled near Toronto, where he re- ained for two years, then he moved is county and settled on the farm n i -lie London road, where he died, having lived in this county 61 years. He was a staunch member of the Meth- odist church and a Conservative in politics. He leaves a wife, three sons and two daughters. He was married twice, but had no family by his second wife. Deceasedwas buried in Turner's cemetery on Thursday afternoon, fol- lowed by a large hummer of friends. He was a man of the strictest integrity and uprightness; he has always had good health, but his age prevented him getting about with touch comfort, so he has remained at home of late. We are sorry to learn that his aged part- es is also in delicate health, and her ecove't'y is very doubtful. AROUND THE HUB.

Mr A. McLeod, who has been indisposed for some bine, has recovered. We would advise the Brucefield correspondent of the Hensall Observer to take things coolly, as his last correspondence was heavy. In an item last week, stating that a man cut an acre of oats in 3 hours and 15 minutes, it should. have read 1 hour and 15 minutes. Summerhill.

The Mail -Empire says: -A telegram was received on Friday, from Mr John Simpson, chief ranger of the Algon- quin park, announcing the death of Mr Peter Thompson, superintendent of the park. The telegram was dated from Dorset, near Huntsville, and said that Mr Thompson had died on the previous day. The news will come as a shock, not only to the members of the Civil Service, among whom Mr Thompson was universally esteemed, but also to the friends of the deceased, of whom there are many in this city. It was s known that Mr Thompson w poi had been suffering from pleurisy for some time. Deceased was 55 years of age, and a man who had not been accustomed to illness, being of a strong and wiry build. He lived formerly in Brussels, where he followed the occupation of a carpen- ter and builder, and then came to Tor- onto and engaged in the same line. He was a very efficient man and well known as being faithful and painstak- ing in his work. Among his contracts here was the present Arlington hotel, which he remodelled and built from the old hospital which formerly occu- pied the site, Four years ago he enter- ed the employ of the Provincial Govern- ment. being engaged in bridge work on the colonization roads, and from there he was transferred to the man- agement of the Algonquin park, which he had since occupied. He spent a year in Winnipeg during the boom, and was interested in real estate there and in mining property in this pro- vince. Mr Thompson was a widower, and leaves a family of three daughters. His body will probably be taken for in- terment to Brussels, where his wife is buried. Usborne. ACCIDENT. -A most painful accident befell the six-year-old daughter of Mr Eli Heywood, of the lith con. of Us - borne, on Thursday last. She was playing around the barn where they were cutting. straw, and in some way got her hand caught between two cog Wheels of the cutting box, smashing the third finger to a jelly. The doctor is trying to save the fin • er, but it was first thought it would ave to be am utated. Varna. NEw BUSINESS. - We understand that Mr Frank Keyes is going to set up a furniture factor, beside Mr Cairn's store. Go ahead, Frank, never ven- ture never win.

McNaugh- ton deserves credit for the improve- ments he has put upon his dwelling this summer, by erecting a stone cellar under it, the full size of the building, facing it with brick, and putting on a new roof; when finished, it will be one ot the best dwellings in our village, and will add much to the appearance of the place. Mr Cook has the con- tract of straightening up the porch of the school and putting in a new floor; improvements of this kind are always in the right direction; the school and grounds cannot be made too attractive for the children; the greater interest the better it will encourage regular at- tendance.
