OBITUABY. Mr. Thos. Lowe, one of the first settlers in this district, passed awaj OQ Sunday last, 7th inst., at the ripe age of 88 years. He enjoyed good health np to the time of his demise was a cheerful and exceedingly kind dispositioned man and highly respected by all who knew him. SUDDEN DEATH. Oar respected townsman, Mr John Montgomery, haker, died suddenly â- early Tuesday morning. He was about his customery duties the day preyious, delivering bread around town, when notbiug special appeared wrong with the old gentleman. We learned since, however, that he was suffering from a severe cold, and was taken with weak spells occasionally nothing was til ou£'ht of it as he has not heen rugged for some time. He retired to rest Monday night as usual, coughed considerably during the night. Mrs. Montgomery (who is also in a weak state of health) was shocked to findtin (he morning, her partner a corpse. The old lady has the sym pathy of the community in her sorrow and affliction which it is feared she may not survive. 65 avvBSpfmdmim.

Tea was served at tbehouse of Mr. Eells, tlie parties retired from thence to the hall which was well filled. In commencmg the intellectual part of the proceedings, the com- mittee with exceeding regret, had to make some changes in the programme as some of the ^entleuen who had promised to aid in the entertainment were unavoidable prevented from com- ing, however other parties present, kindly, and ably, aided towards the enjoyment ©f the evening, especially the Bev. A. Wilson who dehvered a very eloquent and pleasing address, highly appreciated by all present. Miss Wilson also acted well her part by rendering music vocal and instru mental as did Miss Ford and others. There was also recitations and read iugs by th« following ladies and gentlemen namely â€" Misses McDuffie, Gimby, Messrs. I. Stinson, W. J. Benson, Geo. Marshall, Fred Boland, Thos. Boland.

His council, Jas. Mason, Fsq., made endeatottrs to have the sentence commuted, and while the matter was still in doubt the prisoner said if he was not tu get out, he would just as soon be hanged se kept in confinement, and he was quite pre- pared for it. When ho was informed yesterday afternoon that theExcntive would not intdrfere, he did nut seem much concerned, and in the evening, m the presence of Bve. J. E. Howell, who has ' been constant in his min- istrations, requested his counsel to take down the following statement â€" Last statbhbnt of cook tests. My council has informed me that there is no hope of my sentence being commuted, and that I must lu morrow suffer the extreme penalty of the law. I think it my duty^to make this state- ment â€" With the advice and cousent of her father and mother I inarriad Bosannah Leppard, intending to live the remainder of my days with her as my wife. Shortly before our marriage, with the advice and consent of her father, I let her have money to insure her life. Her father and one Wilson had spoken about getting insurance. It was at her own request that her life was insured. She wiin'ied it in case anythmg happened to htr that there would oe something to support her children. We spoke nbout having the policy payable to herself. «r pay able to her father. Mr. Purdy wrote to the company explaining that we were going to get married, and the policy was made to me as her promis- ed husband. She trusted to me giving it to her children, or spending it for their benefit. Her mother consented to our marriage, and was anxious for me to marry her, and went with Bos- annah and me to Bobert Trimble's â- tore to purchase thmgs for the marriage. I payed part then, and gave Bosannah $6 a few days after- wards to buy some other thmgs. HBB K OTHEB PBESSED ME HABD to get manied at once. She said it would cost no more now than after- wards. Her mcther wanted us to be married by a priest. I did not want to be married by a priest, and Bos- annah did not want to either, only her mother. I took her and went to Toronto, and was married by a Presby- terian minister. When we came back I did not go to her mother's with her, j but she told me afterwards that her mother said to her when she came in. "Are you married now, Bosie " That she said, "Yes.' Her mother said, "Have yon a certificate?" and she said, "Yes." Her mother said, "Who were you married by â€" a priest " She said, "No, by a Presbyterian minister." Her mother then said, "Take hiji and go to hell with him, for that is whore you wfll go anyway." On the 7th October I started fur Michigan, and we were gone just two weeks. When we eame back ^e went to her mother's and I went home to my mother's that was on Tuesday. On the Sunday I met her on the road near my mother's, and went back with her as far as my sister's. She then told me HBB KOTHBB WAS nivsnte HBi|, and wanted me to take her out of the house, I told her I would go down on the Mcmday, I did so, and we spdie of getting a house firom Pedlar. She was to see Pedlar the next day. I left Leppard's about 4 o'clock or a little before that, I stopped in at Middleton's and he told me it was then 16 or SO minates to 6 o clock, I tfa«i went to nqr sister's and rested a little ttien went home. On iMving Leppard's Bosannah went pait of the way-withme. We stopped to l^t onr p^«B, uriiile we were lighting our pipes Sherwood passed.

I dont knnw what I said, I was so full of griitf. 1 »ent to my sister's. My sister asked me to wait; that she would drive me over. I went to her bed^de and asked her to speak. I said I knew she was not dead, to speak and tell me what is the matter. My sister was besidts me and said "Bosie Will never speak again." I asked Bridget what was the matter, and she said she did not know. I asked ber if Bosie said what was the matter, or what she complained of, or some- thing like that, I never said at her bedside or in Leppard's that I "was the cause of it," or that I "came down on her sudden," or that I knew any- thing about it. I did not know any thing about it. I do not know where tie poison was got, or who got it, wherever it came from it never came out of my bottle. I had the poison lor not quite two years. I got it in Lexington, Michigan, for to get furs. 1 used some of it, and got a few furs for a cap for my mother, which I tanned myself. I made no secret about having the poison. Mrs. Leppard asked me for some to poisoo dogs. She said that there were dogs that bothered her cattle iu the bnsb. I nevrr gave her any. I never sug- gested to her to put it iu onions to poison people who were steahn^ her onions. Such a thing was xever mentioned. That whole story is a fabrication. As far as the death of Bosannah is coiicetoed, I know nothing about it. 1 go to my death an innocent man. Thank God I do not die with » load of guilt on my shoulders. I am ready to die.
