neighborhood on Friday last, by the
announeement of the sudden death of

his business as usual till Friday, when
lie oomplaiued of feeling unwell and
about ten o'clock in" the evening he
became unconscious and passed away
eearly next morning, It is supposed
that heart disease was the cams of his
death, He was a man of retiring
disposition and unobtrusive in his
ways, kind hearted, honorable and
obliging to all, a consistent member of
the Presbyterian Church, The funerril
on Monday was very large, there being
some ninety rigs present. The funeral.
ceremonies were performed by Rev.
Mr. Henderson, pastor of the Hensel!
Presbyterian Church. The deceased

borne a reputation for exceeding
healthfulness; Many then are.,non
plusses, if not disheartened, to find
that fever has been ravaging town and
country of late. It being matrimonia

ter, its unheralded approach causes
less alarm than comment. The Ias
reported victim is our jovial and
sterling young friend of the boundary
line, Mr. Amos Tipling. Now Amos,
although a most exemplary and papu-
lar young man, was supposed to be
invulnerable to C'upid's arrows. But he
succumbed graciously arid gracefully,
He took a two weeks' leisure trip to
Toronto, New Market, Brampton, &c.
Whilst at New Market he entered into
a life alliance with Miss Minerva
Caroline Kennedy of that place. The
ceremony was performed at the resi-
dence of Mr. Harvey Caine of the
Caine Mfa. Co , and Reeve . of the
village, by Rev. Mr. Hill. Mr.
A Bradwin, of Toronto, formerly of
Wingham, acted as groomsman and
Miss Laura Kennedy as bridesmaid.
A large social gathering pleasantly
spent the evening, congratulations
were extended and a great variety of
very handsome presents given. On
Friday they returned home. Your
correspondent hopes that Amos and
his bride inay'have a long; smooth,
prosperous journey through life. By
way of appendix, too, the Tuns ten-
ders its most hearty congratulations.
