feeling OF deep sympathy has beeIr excited for
Mrs. MCGEE and her family, deprived Of husband
and father by the hand Of an assassin. The news
was telegraphed yesterday morning to Mr.. J. H.
DAILY, who had word sent Immediately to swO OF Mr..
McGees most intimate friends, that means might be
taken to have the distressing intelligence broken to
the widow. The Rev. Mr.. Dowd, who had ALSO been
appraised Of the melancholy event, requested two Of
the Gray Nuns to go at to the house. This they
did, and arriving found the two gentlemen at the
door who had just preceded them. On breaking the
news, which was done as quietly as possible, the dis
tress OF the poor lady was uncomfortable. The
nuns remained with her, endeavOring to i'm
part such consolation as they could under the
circumstances, until the arrival OF the Rev. Mr..
DOwd, by whose efforts she was restored to some
degree Of calmness, interrupted, however, by out
bursts Of grief she appeared to realize the irrepa
rabe loss she had sustained. His daughter, young
lady OF sixteen, who was at the Convent Of Wood
lands was sent for, the only other child, girl OF
about nine years old, being with her mother. The
friends Of the family were assiduous in their
attentions, only the most intimate however, being
admitted. Several Of the intimate friends of de-
ceased went to Ottawa by first train to receive his
remains.

funeral service will be held this morning In the

Gov VIM. Smith delivered forcible and ami
mated speech, with the fire and vim of his
younger days, in examination Of the proposed

lection. He was warmly applauded through
out. We have never known him to make a
more successful effort He was followed by
Col. Evans, of Richmond, who delivered a
most excellent address, in explanation of the
provisions of the proposed constitution. The
speech was an able one, full of information,
and perfectly conclusive in its arguments. The
enormity of the ''bill Of abominations" in the
measure to be passed upon, was exposed in a
mastery manner Col. Evans was most at ten
lively listened to, and cheered throughout, es-
