We speak Of Annie E., the eld- est daughter of James Young, for many years a respected resident of Clinton. Twelve years ago they moved to 8eaforth, where they have since resided. The mother died and was buried ;here before going to the latter place. The deceased who was about thirty erears of age, had been a sufferer for many years with hip trouble, which practically wasted her y.oung life away. When a resi- dent ,of Clinton she was an aetive worker in !the old Rattenbury street Methodist church and Sunday schpol„ and is remembered by many in town who, ,cherish pleasant recollections of her noble Christian 'character. Of the family but the. father and a mar- ried sister remain, who have the sympathy pf their many old fiends in Clinton." The Late Mrs. Chesney.-Mrs.Hugh M.

Her death was due to Old-.ege and u. general breaking up pf the system. Mrs. Chesney, whose maiden tame was Mary Pearson, was born within 14 miles of Edinburgh, in East Loth- ian, in 1823. She, was married to her late husband, Hugh M. Chesney, in 1858 in Halifax, Nova Scotia. She came to Canada 46 years ago. She spent all her married life on the farm 'syn -which she died.

Unpleasant. -Major Anderson had a couple of !unpleasant experiences last week. Towards the end of the week the ice in Silver Creek pegan to. break up and go down stream, and, as there was danger of damage be- ing done rto the reservoir at. the wa- terworks, the Major was.busy cut- ting away the hoe to procure an out- let for !the extra water. While thus engaged, on two different occasions, he fell into the icy stream. The !bath Was not a pleasant one, but the gallant -Major stuck to his work, and everything ended satisfactorily. One day, a young man of an enquir- ing turn of mind, ventured out on a plank near to where the .Major was working, when the jam was broken and the lonrush of water made it ne- cessary for both the young man and the Major to seek a place of refuge on a clump of earth about three feet square, and here they were stranded fully a hundred yards from dry land. There was no brave TC8ZU- ing party on hand, so the Major's evv ready !mind- evolved a solution. He got,the young fellow on his back and waist deep waded to dry land. However, all's well that ends well, and the Major still lives to tell the .story. " a big prize. The eulogy is as fol- lows: Of all the animal friends of i man be is the greatest.
