Urges Agricultural Teaching
Hon. B. Harcourt, Minister of Ed-
ucation, has sent a circular to members
of County Councils and School Boards
throughout the province catling their
attention to the amendment to the
Public Schools Act, providing for the
teaching of Agriculture in sE perate,
Public and high schools, and urging
the importance of taking advantage of
provisions of the amendment in order
to continue in a more advanced form
that instruction in agriculture, the
foundations for which are laid in all
our rural school.
Apples Three Pence a Barrel
Lace advices from Liverpool state
that Canadian apples are arriving
there in very bad condition and are
selling at from three pence to seven
shillings per barrel. All around there
is a loss of over one dollar per barrel
on what hes been sold lately. The
English papers sta�e` that some of the
Canadian apples were poorly packed
and go even 33 far as to say that old
boots have been known to be found
in the middle of barrels. It is not
supposed that there has n much of
othat sort of work, but eve a few in-

DEATH OF JAMES GAUNT
A Prominent Resident of Wawa -
nosh Passes Away.
SAI) SUICIDE
Mr. Henry Harris, of Kinloss
Cuts His Throat,
A sad suicide took place in the town-
ship of Kinloss, near Holyrood on
Sunday morning last, when Mr. Henry
Harris, an old and very highly respi-ct-
ed . resident of the township, cut bis
throat with a razor. The terrible deed
was committed in the barn 1►etwe,r,
eleven ar.d twelve o'clock and when
discovered by his son life was extinct
but the body was still warm. De-
ceased had been ill for Borne time past,
and committed the rash act while tem-
porarily demented. He t
a serious accidsnt about a year ago, l,v
falling from an apple tree, and striki:'g
his head heavily on thegroundfroru the
effects of which he never fully recover-
ed, although he spent a week this sum-
mer in Toronto hospital endeavoring
to get relief. Mr. Harris has been a
resident (.fiKinloss icor over f.,rty y oafs
ar.d was widiey known and greatly r•d
spected, and hia tragic death has east
a sad gloom c.yer t he whole community.
He leaves 'a gr ,wu ap family (if ,.e'en
children to reutirn his loss, four of
whom are living in Kinloss, two in
Dakota and one in Farewell, Michigan,
Coroner D. M. (k-rdon, of Lucknow,
was immediately notified, and after
viewing the t.ody decided that an in-
quest was unnecessary.
The death- of Mr. James Gaunt on
Saturday last removes one of the most
prominent citizens of the township of
West Wawanosh. Deceased was just
in the prime of life, being in his 42nd
year, and gave every promise that at
no distant day he would have occupied
a prominent position in the political
arena of our Province. He was a man
far above the average in abihty, and
was an effective and convincing speaker
and during the early days of the Pat-
rons of Industry took an active part in
the interests of that organization. He
was elected President of Huron County
and was afterwards selected as the
Patron Canditate in West Huron for
the house of Commons, but in the
Garrow Ccnnoley election to the Legis-
lature he supported Mr. Garrow, and
since that time ho had been an ardent
supporter of the Liberal party. About
a year ago ho was thrown from a
load of passe in a runaway accident,
and sustained serious injuries from the
effects of which he never • recovered,
He visited the Old Country last sutn-
finer in the hope of regaining his health'
but all to no avail acid he gradually
grew weaker till his death. He was
widely known among the stock men
of the Province, and the Gaunt herd
of shorthorns and their magnificent
flock of Leicester .sheep had a reputa-
tion second to none in the Dominion,
and- a great deal of the success which
they attained was due to the able
management and excellent judgement
of the deceased. The funeral took
place to the Kinloi-s cemetery on Mon-
day afternoon last, and was largely at-
tended by sympathizing friends and
neighbors. The services at the house
and grave were conducted by the Rev.
1). N. Duthie, of Lucknow, and the
earnest sympathy of all is extended to
his parents and friends in their great
berevement.
