We regret very much to note the
sad death of Angus, ,second son of
Captain Joho Macdonald : of the
schooner Kolfage that was the 'first
this season to enter our harbor. A
couple of days later the Kolfage left
for luinber at Johnston's Harbor
with the Captain and his three song,
Angus, IVIalcohn and Bert. All went
well until the boat was unloaded at
Chatham, When the tug that tows the
vessels to and from Chatham ou. the
river could not tow :the Kolfage out
into Lake St. Clair until the next
day and Angus thought he would
spend the intervening time at Detroit
visiting, his aunt, Mrs. Smith of 1.hat
city. But poor Angus little knew
when he waved his hand with a glad
good bye to his mother at ter
on Britannia Rood that she would
never see him again, His active sea-
man's life was eut off at the o•ge of
20 years on that trip he was 'taking.
to be absent only a few hours; Ile
was. first mate on the Koliege, hired
ana paid the hands and .kept the Cap-
tain's books. At hone, where his
young 'sisters . and mother s Nays
greeted his return, he played and sang
with them and delighted in amusing
his baby brother. One hymn in par-
ticular, his sorrowing mother told us,
he never tired of singing to them,
"Crown Him Lord of:All." Strange
to say, when the telegrams were pent
out from Windsor making inquiry
about the sad death of a dark young
man, Captain Macdonald -said: "1t
is Angie," But it must be ever • a
consolation to the family. that it was
not in a storm that he met death up- -
on the boat he 'loved so well, • even
though the -memory • of a .train crush-.,
ing out his young life. is lanientable-

For long keeping qualities Mr.
Bunting states that the fruit Should
be stored ininiediatedy after picking
from the trees. Greenings and other
light colored apples keep touch better
in open slat -work crates than in dos-
ed barrels, as in the latter they are
much more liable to turn brown. It
is very important that fruit,whether
in boxes or bartels, ehould not he

In this warehouse it is possible to
inaintain a temperature of 32 degrees
in winter ; but 38 degrees is about the
lowest obtained in summer even when
