DEATH OF WELL KNOWN CITIZEN.-When
great men die it is customary to give in the
public journals briefabstract of their services
for the benefit of the world at large. So, also,
even when men less-distinguished in State or

pirate that reference should be made to the
event in fitting terms. The death that we are
called to chronicle to-day i, that one who be-
longed not to the human race but to the ami
NAL kingdom, and yet he was too well-known
by the community to be allowed to pass to the
silent grave without proper eulogy.

an alarm of fire was given Brann would rush

were given up and steamers introduced Brann

occurred the family who owned him would
have to get up and let him out. After Cum
berland got their new steamer from the Port

gonne 1. Brann missed the Old machine how
ever and hunted round after it and the other
day discovered where it was and had just at

evil hand dealt out to him ''cup of cold poi

the Veteran Gunner Association, and had the

sincerely regretted by the whole Fire Depart
