On Thursday afternoon last he was seized with severe pains which proved to be a ease of appendicitis. Though all that medical skill and threat nursing Gould do were tried, his life 000ld not be saved and he passed away, The foot that he bad not been strong for some time previously made the last sickness all the more trying on him. His death is much regretted in the community as he was one of the most highly esteemed gentle• men in the town. The sorrowing friends are sympathised with by everybody. The tate Mr. Young was born in Ayr- shire, Scotland, on Jan. 5th, 1853, being a eon of William Young.

In eooiety molest he was also prominent, being a member of the I. 0. F. and also of the A.. F. & A. M.
