The higher temperature lost week low- ered the snow considerably, but we have an abundance yet, especially on our pub- lic roads.

Since we last wrote several uf the early residents of this vicinity have [Mtssed away from this life. Ou the uiorning of the 18th of January, Catharine, relict ot the lute Rev. Robt.

In 1853 Mrs. Mclntyre and her huslntnd left their native Isle, Mull, ScotUnd, and came to this country. Deceased was a consixt^nt member of the Baptist church and in the absence of her pastor, liev. L. F. Kipp, the services were conducted by Rev. J. A. Matheson, assisted by Rev. H. Berry. She was laid beside her husband, who predeceased her 23 years, a son 29 years, a daughter 3 years, and one last June. About 8 ». m. on the 31st it became known in the village that one of the early pioneers, Mr. Donald McDonald, had| passed away, a victim of that dread dis- ease, c^incer, at the age of tS8 years. Mr. McDonald came to the village in its early years, a strong, muscular young man, and was shortly afterwards appointed Con- stable, which office he tilled efiiciently until declining years and illness rendered him incapable. Deceased leaves a wife, 3 sons in the far west and Allan at home, also one daughter, Mrs. Mallattuf Toron- to, who was with her father for some days previous to his death. Mr. Mallatt also attended the funeral to St. John's church and cemetery at Pomona on the 4th of February.

Mr. McLean and family formerly lived on the South Line, Artemesia, and afterwards in Osprey for a time,, and finally removed to this vil- lage. Deceased leaves a wife and several children, the majority of whom are quite youDK- ^^n. McLean is an indus- brious and kind mother, and spared no pains in attending her husband during Lis illness. The roads became so impas- sable by late storms that the funeral could not take place until Saturday, the 8th, when the remains were interred in Evergreen cemetery, near Mud Luke, South line. Rev. H. Berry officiating Malcolm McGilvray, aged 88 years, an old resident of Ulenelg, died on the 10th.

Run Over by a Heavily Loaded Timber Sleigh. A terrible accident occurred in this village on Wednesday of Ust week result- mg in the death of J. T. Merle Sled, the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Sled of the suburbs. The Uttle fellow, wJio was only six years of age, had Ixjen in town with his mother and was waiting at I a friend's house until his father, who was , drawing logs, would come along, so that lie might ride Iiome with him. When he saw his father's team coming ho ran to the house and told his mother, then went out to the road, but the team had passed. He ran mto the road, after the sleigh, not noticing anotlier team behind, driven by Mr. Emerson Wickens, which was also loaded heavily with logs, and being on a down grade the driver was unable to 8U)p his team until it had knocked the little boy down. The front bob ran up on his stomach and had to be" backed off before he could be picked up. He was tenderly lifted and conveyed to . his homo where everything was done that loving care could conceive to save him, ! but four hours afterward tho apii'it left I tho little bi«ly. Tlie baby was conscious I up to a few moments before death, when I he sjiid, "Oh papa, I cannot see," A I few minutes iifter this he ceased to j breathe. There was no outward mark of injury. I The heart-broken father luid mother I are tho recipients ot an unusual amount of syu){)uthy. The only cliild ! A bright, I iuterastiug little one whom every person I would look at a second time, audadmired for his winning ways. Tho inscrutable ways of P^)videnco are hard to fath(jui. The shock h;i8 been almost more than the poor parents csm hear. C<M\ld we but make tho grief lighter how gladly it would bo done. Warm sympathy is but a cold thing in a case like this, however, but it goes out from hundreds of hearts in this neighborhood, all the same. The funeral took place on Satui-day afternoon, the remains being taken to the Methodist ohjitrch, where a most touchin? service was held by the piustor. Rev. Dr. Cahiwell, who chose as his te.xt 2nd Samuel, 12th ond 13th verses, and from which he preached an unuaimlly strong and sympathetic sermon. During the afteruo(m previous to the accident Merle had been singing " Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam, " and this was touch- ingly rendered after the sermon by Miss Irene Wilson. Several children also sang " Bring Them In. " Notwithstand- ing the terribly stormy day, the church was tilled with the many friends and sympathiser's of the grief-stricken parents. Interment took place in the Flesherton cemetery. Among the relatives from a distance McFARLAND & CO.
