DEATEIS.—We areagain
d arespecterth is no specer ofr
thateminded
persons,
because in our midst it has taken away
two of our residents. The first being
Mr Wm. 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 next person we have reference
to is Mrs Andrew McNally, who pass-
ed away peacefully on the afternoon
of the same day. She was a long suf-
ferer, her disease being the fever, and
it ended with a lingering wasting away
of the constitution. She was a loving
wife and was loved and respected by
her friends and acquaintances. Her
remains were taken to the townsbi
of McGillivary for interment on
nesday, her burial being on the 1stof•July.

DEATH.—Martin Squire, who is em-

the sad loss of hie wife on Saturday

is touching. She had previously given
birth to four children, none of whom
had survived had devoted herself and sheto this one
most warmly, as
only a mother can. Noticing that she
was in delicate health Mr and Mrs
Middleton gave her particularly kind
attention, in the hope that it would
build up her system, but her sys-
in was gone. The child lives,
t the mother has passed away, and
e heart broken husband, though
aving public sympathy, mourns the
s of a loving and true wife.

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
