We regret to chronicle the sadden death, on the 24th ult., of John I. Dea, con, for many years Quarter Master Ser- geant of the fling's Royal Rifles while at service in India and China. Mr. Doaoon was unmarried and resided for the most part of hio stay in Godericb at the home of the late Capt. Cooke, hie brother-in- law. His death resulted from apoplexy. He seemed in his usual health that morn- ing when he appeared at the morning meal, but before going to his pines of business he complained of severs neural- gia pains in his head, which caused him to retire to his chamber and immediately physicians were sent for but they knew the case was hopeless. Mr. Deacon was much beloved by his friends and the ser- mon, which we subjoin below, testifies to his worth. Tho funeral took place on Friday last, at 2:90 p.m, The remains of the deceased gentleman were borne to St. George's by the pall bearers. Messrs. VanEvery, Ball, J. Sheppard, F. John- ston, Seeger, and H. Horton. The cas- ket was covered with beautiful floral of- feringa-a basket of flowers being pre- sented by D. McDonald. Tho 0. E. T. S. gave a handsome wroath Laid on a ground of blank velvet with the letters C. E. T. S. formed of flowers in the centro. During the funeral service a number of boys of the Sunday Sohool marched through tho centre aisle, headed by Master Grant, who laid a beautiful floral cross on the casket. Tho choir and pulpits were drap- ed in black, wreaths of immortellee being fastened on each. The pew belonging to the deceased and his relatives was cover- ed also with a mourning drapery on which was laid a floral Maltese cross, The Roods. Elwood and Johnston met the body at the door aid preceded it to the altar chanting tho services of the English ritual the while. The choir and congreg- ation sang "Hero we suffer grief and pain,' Then followed the beautiful or - mon by Rev. Wm. Johnston, after which the hymn "Hash I blessed are the dead," was sung. After the last prayer the pall hearers bore the body of their deceased friend to the hearse in waiting, the organ- ist, Prof. Foot, playing the beautiful Dead March in Saul. Tho Sunday School boys joined in the funeral cortege. The following is a report of the tuner. al sermon :-"The memory of the Just is Blessed,' Prov. 10 and 7. --St. George's is in morning to -day but 10 wo could be wholly unselfish, wo would wipe our tears and put on the emblenio of joy, for while wo have a casket, tend an empty seat m the sanctuary, and a loving heart, and a willing hand lose amongst the workers, a brother has been promoted to a higber service, having boon found worthy in the vineyard here.
