He was always looked upon, till about six months ago, to be a strong rugged host with great prospects, but while enjoy- ing himself over at Bayfield during the wet season of lair summer he contracted a cold, which rapidly turned to that fell destroyer, conepmption. Hemorrhage after hemorrhage ho was called upon to bear, which soon began to tell un his once good physique. For the past month he had been out but little, but with all that physical skill could do he finally passed away on Tuesday morning last. He was yet young being only 18 years, 10 months and PI lays old. He leaves behind hint a ,heart -broken father, mother, four sisters and two brothers to mourn his absence.
