On Friday, March 19th, Sylvester
Boyce passed away very suddenly. He
had been on the street on Wednesday
and though in poor health, no one
would have supposed 'that his span of
life was so near its end. EIe was born
in Markham on December 31, 1820,
and was therefore 77 years of age. He
was at one time a prosperous farmer,
but misfortunes had overtaken him
and of late he had been in reduced cir-
cumstances. The funeral took place
Sunday to the Presbyterian cemetery.

Mr, Thos. Russell, of Riverside Stock
Farm, has recently made a couple of
very important sales. He has sold to
Messrs. J. G. Robbins & Sons, of Horde
county Indiana, the five year old cow
Bracelet II, and a heifer calf, 11 months
old. This cow was sired by imported
Grey Mariner. The heifer, which was
one of the best ever raised by 119r• Rus-
sell. was bred from Sultan of Riverside,
a fine young bull now owned by Mr.
Jacob Gingerich, of Hay, near Zurich,
These sales break up the herd which
Mr. Russell was getting into shape for
show purposes next year, but the price
offered was irresistable and so the fine
show herd had to suffer.

OBITUARY.—It is our painful duty to
record the sudden and unexpected death
of Susan Amelia, beloved wife of 'rhos.
Essery, at the age of 53 years and 9
months. Mrs. Essery, whose maiden
name was Elogg, was born at Port Bur
well in the year 1843. About 36 years
ago she was united in marriage to
Thos. Essery and became the sharer of
his joys and sorrows and a true help-
mate to one who strove amid pioneer
days and experiences to make a com-
fortable borne for himself and family.
About two years after her marriage
she gave her heart to Christ and united
with the old Fairfield church, of which
she continued a faithful member until
its removal, when her membership was
transferred to the Centralia Methodist
Church, where she was found in wor-
ship the Sabbath before her illness.
Though ailing for some years, and her
death not unexpected at times, she was
more than usually smart last week, but
on Friday she was taken very ill and
all that medical skill and good nursing
could do was in vain, she gradually
sank until death released ber of her
suffering on Tuesday morning, just five
minutes before the arrival of her sons
from Palmerston. She leaves a bus•
baud three sons and two daughters
to mourn her demise The funeral,
which was largely attended, took place
on Wednesday afternoon, and her re-
mains were deposited in the Exeter
cemetery to await the resurrection
morn.
Another severe earthquake was felt
