Eggert, who breathed his last on Tuesday morning. He was a great sufferer, the fever being the first disease, then other causes have risen which led to dropsy. As he was in the prime of manhood, it seems hard to part; he was 29 years of age, and leaves a young dow and two children to 'mourn thea los of a loving husband .and dutiful father. His remains were taken to the Union cemetery for in- terment on Thursday. The friends .and relatives have the sympathy of the community in their bereavement.

THE NEW ERA GIVES THE HOME NEWS Lucknow. PASSED HOME.—The Lucknow Sent- inel of this week, says:— In the death of Mr Walter Treleaven, who passed peacefully away at his residence in this village, on Saturday last, there is re- moved from our midst, one of the old- est. best known and highly esteemed citizens of our community. He was a man of sterlingcharacter, both in word and deed, and the name of "Uncle Wal- ter"as he was more familiarly called by all who knew him, will long be remem- bered and fondly cherished,not only by his own family and reatives, but by the wilt le of the very first settlersn He par t of the country, and in the early days of bush life, together with the other noble pioneers, endured the hardships and privations incidental to the early settle- ment of the county y, and by his energy and industry, contributed no small share in making this section what itis to -day. Deceased was the youngest son of William, and Jane Treleaven, and was born in Plymouth, England, on July 4th, 1825, and was consequently in his 73rd year at the time of his death. He cane to Canada, with his parents, in 1832. and settled in Amherst Island, near Kingston, where he remained for 15 years. In 1847, he removed to Ash- field township where he hewed and cut for himself a home among the then almost unbroken forest. Aftera resid- ence in the township of 17 years, he re- moved with his family, to this village in I864, and from that time to the time of his death, was a valuable citizen of this town. In the early days of Luck - now he took a prominent interest in the welfare of the place, and at the time of its incorporation as a village, he was elected a member of its first municipal council, a position he filled for several yearsarShortly after coming here he purchased from Mr J. Somer- ville, the present Lucknow Grist Mills, which he owned and opearted till his de- mise. He was an earnest Christain, and for over 40 years was a devout and faithful class leader and consistent member of the Methodist church, and in his death the church looses a true friend and worker, whose place it will be hard tc) fill. Deceased leaves a widow and 7 children to mourn his loss, and in this sad hour of sorrow, have the earn- est sympathy of all in their bereave- mpent. The surviving children are Thos. H. Treleaven and Wm. O. Treleaven, of Lucknow; Rev. Walter Treleaven, of New Hamburg: J. Wesley Treleaven of the Clinton Collegiate staff; Mrs T. L.
