SUDDEN ',DEATH.
MRS. ARD, OF MORRIS, CALLED TO HER i 7,
LONG HOME,
OnWednesday of last week Mr. Alex.
Gorrell, of Clinton, went bytrain to the
2nd con, of Morris, to visit a sister resid-
ing there,
esid-ing"there, Mrs. Gray, who has been very -
ill for severaldays, and on' entering the
-Mouse at about 10 a.m.; was .astonished to
see an old lady fall to the floor in a fit,
whom he at first supposed to be his sister,
but who was really a neighbor named Mrs.
Ard, oyer 80 years of age, who :lived only
until four o'clock the same day.
The circumstances of her deaijh are as
follows: Residing on the adjoining farm
with her son, Mr. Samuel Ard, the river
dividing the two farms, slie, expressed a•
strong desire in the 'morning to go over
and see Mrs. Gray, although it was damp
and disagreeable, and--her-friends-tried to
persuade her to wait until another day,
but she enforced her request with the re -
Mark that "`she might never have another
chance." After eating a hearty breakfast
-an unusual thing for her—her son ,told
her he would drive her across the river
(although she had walked around By 'the
road not long before) and she wpuld;not '
have many rods to walk. He did so, and
left her making her way to the house of
Mr. Gray, but weakness overcame her lbe-.
fore she reached it, and the servant girl
went to her assistance, and helped her
into the house, when she was almost im-
mediately put to bed. A doctor was called
in, but he could do nothing for her, and
in the afternoon' she peacefully passed
away,
About 20 years ago, she, with her hus-
band, resided on the 2nd con. of Hullett,
where they owned a farm. She had been.
in comparative good health prior to day
mentioned, and hersudden demise was a
sad shock to her friends. For about fifty
.years she had been a faithful member; of
the MethodistChurch, and death did not
find her unprepared. The high esteemin
which she was held was shown by the large
attendance at her funeral on Friday.
CHANGE OF TIME. -As the railways
introduce a system of uniform time all
over. the Province, on the 19th Mat., it
will be necessary for all places to follow
suit, in orderto avoid e,pnfusion and the
missing of trains. .The change .will, make
a difference of 2t-minufes_eartier-here-a d
Mr. Dennison, 'bell ringer, has been in-
structed tomake the change on the morn-
ing of the 19th. When people become
accustomed to the change it will hot make
auy:'difference, but tumbling out of bed
at half -past five for :six o'clock, in the
winter particularly, will hardly be appre
dated.
