One night recently as Dan Cameron was conversing with some gentlemen in a hotel in the village of Southamp- ton, he suddenly dropped dead, heart failure being the cause.

The funeral took place at Parkhill on Tuesday uuder the aus- pices of the Masonic and A. O. U. W. orders. Just as Mrs. W. Somerville, of Seaforth, was about to retire, a lamp on the dining -Dorn table, the light of which she was about to blow out, exploded, the flames setting fire to her hair. Mr. Somerville was already in bed, and she rushed into the room where he was, but before he could get up she had extinguished the flame with her hands. Nothing else caught fire, and, except for the shock to her nerves, caused by the fright, Mrs. Somerville is little the worse for her unpleasant experience. The porcelain shade on the lamp was blown up into the air, and fell on the table, so that the explosion must have been quite a forcible one, and it is a wonder consiiderable damage was not done. The bowl of the lamp, however, was lined with tin, which probably kept it from bursting and scattering the oil about. Nile.
