The deceased formerly lived on the north side of the boundary, ' mite west of Loch- alsh, and war chiefly'noted for great physical strength. In our Celtic dis- trict we have many big and strong men, but "Big Angus, " as he was familiarly called, probably xurpaseed them all. and it could be truly said of hies that. he was "giant of stature and huge of term," having weighed in his prime about 246 pounds. Another charecteristic was ltls genial and sunny temperament and as 1s often the case with .unusually strong men it required considerable provocation to disturb his epuaolmity. He was a man who would do no harm to anyone, and we believe. according to hitt light, he served his day end generation well. The deceased moved to Goderich some years ago and resided there until his death. He ix survived by his brothers Angus. of Goderich, Norman, of Sbeppardton, and John, of Lucknow. The remains were interred in Lochalsh cemetery last Friday in the presence of the old neighbors and friends. DUNLOP. Tustel.AT, Dec. 213th.
