TUE AWAIM BADee-NO little interest
has been taken here for some months
past in a line fence case, which. has
been the subject of a contention be-
tween two farmers of Stephen town-
ship since May last. Isaac Hill and
Robtert Sweet are the owners of Ad-
joining lots, on the Oth concession, the
back portion of the farms being still
uncleared and unfenced. Mr. Hill
wanted to enclose his portionof the
bush and insisted that Ur. Sweet
should build half of the line fence. To
this the latter objected, as he contend-
ed that it was unoccupied and unused
by him. Me. Hill then called in three
fence -viewers and asked them todeal
with the whole line fence in the clear-
ed as well as in the uncleared land.
The fence viewers did this and made
an award sustaining Mr. Hills conten-
tion. err. Sweet contended that not
only should he be not forced to build
a line fence in the bush but that the
front fence should not be brought in-
to the controversy as there had never
been any dispute as to it. Mr. Sweet
then appealed through his solicitor,
Mr. Staubury, at Exeter, to Judge
Doyle, who heard the appeal on Tues-
day. His Honor after reviewing the
evidence, gave judgement in favor of
Mr. Sweet with costs, and set aside the
award.

DEATH or Soren Cuoxeore-We re-
gret this week to have to record the
death of an esteemed resident of this
place'in the person of Mr. John Crox-
all, Although evidently failing of late
his final illness was brief, and on Sat-
urday about 8 p.m. he passed away.
The deceased was born in Cornwall,
Eng„in the year 1820,and about tvven-
ty years later wine to Canada, making
his home in Whitby township. For
sixty-five years he was a consistent
member of the Methodist church, very
regular in his attendance on all the
services, and a faithful worker as a
Sunday school teacher, class leader,
etc., until failing strength xnade it ne-
cessary to leave this work to more vig-
orous hands. He was highly &teem-
ed by all who knew him, as a kindly
Chrstian gentleman, thoughtful of the
welfare of others and one who inter-
ested himself in everything calculated
to advance the 'welfare of the commun-
ity. Mr.Oroxall never married and the
past twenty years of his life have been
spent in the hoine of his brother-in-
law, Mr. Nicholas Phippen, where lov-
ing friends ministered to him to the
end. The body was conveyed to Port
Perry, Ont., Monday to be interred, in
• farnily burial place in that town.

A short tin* ago a Mr. E. S. Libby
called on the stibsect of this sketch and
hi an article to an America.n journal
toncerning Mrs. Mills, he says: -

Everybody is interested of course, in
what tends to promote longevity.
Touching this point let me give yotein
substance, that which was told to me,
in part, by members of the family:
Mrs. Mills never took so much as two
bottles of medicine in her life. She
made her own pills. She loved tea and
sipped it several times a clay, taking
one-half a cup of strong tea at each.
meal, with cream and sugary but was
not a coffee drinker. Liquor has been
used as a medicine; has been a moder-
ate eater of fruit and vegetable diet;
prefers milk to drink instead of water,
and is fond of fruit. Never fretted,
was always contented, and never ner-
vous. It had been her delight to be
out-of-doors, and a pleasure for her to
work in the garden and in the field.
A good sleeper, 'Mrs. -Mills occasional-
ly retired before sunset, usually get- -
ting up in the morning before sunrise..
Said one of her bright granddaugh-
ters: "A characteristie of grandmoth-
er is that she was always very jolly -
When she was 107 years old, before she ,
had the rhentnatisin, she danced one
day in the middle of the kitchen floor."
James Coulter Mills, the eldest son,.
and next oldest of all the children, re --
milked: "Mother, has a happy, cheer-
ful disposition, and that is the whole.
secret of her long life. I never knew
anything tO cross her in My life. She
has not worn the long. straight fade,
nor thought it a sin to joke." .
This son resides in St. Thomas. His
seventy-seven winters have apparent-
ly been light on him. All through her ,
life, Mrs. Mills has been religious. Her
church denornination is m6tboaigt and
op, to the age of one hundred and elev.-
en years, she was strong enough in
body to walk a quarter 'of a mile to at-
tend services at the ,church of her
choice. I was told that she was ever
