The sad event occured on ihe26ch in!<t., the direct cause of death beiiiK hemurrhage uf the bowel* xud stomach, hue for many years Mr. Strain wa.s somewhat of so invalid. Mr. straiu came to Flesberrou about forty ye.'irs ago, previous to which time he lived on a farm near luistiuge. Full particulars of hia life are not to hand.

There was Music ia the Air Thursdayeveningof last weekwasa mus- icalone fur Durham. 1 heoccaaion was that of the annual band promenade concert, only no one was noticed pcoinenading. The crowd was not large and all those who stayed away missed a rare treat. The concert was held in the uew rink which is about 80 by 2lX) feet. Thia splendid rink shuuld give the Shorthorns a bettor opportunity tu leani to play hockey. Proceeds amounted to the sum of 93U.0O which will give one an idea uf the musical tikste of the Durhamites. The Fleshertun bund had the stind first and played their selectiur.s well, winning aitood name fur themselves in Durham. Then caiue the Durham Band, which held down the stage for a time.

Tl:e duvtur was sent fur who attended him, but nothing serious resulted . The evening was dark and cloudy but he thought he could see someone standing under a tree in the passage way. A large stone was fuund la the buwgy, but uoihing could be discovered that had iiiHicted the wound to the girl, and it is thought that tho culpiit either used a club or picked up the missile after tlie itirl had gone into the house.
