THE LATE JOHN TRoTBfsaRAM. ~>We regret
| 10 announce that John Rockingham, ESQ
departed this life last night about half-past one
O'Clock. He had been feeble for good while
but was not taken seriously i'll till few days
before his death, which took place at the ma.
one OF our oldest, most respectable and wealth
lest citizens
Mr.. rockingham was born in Portland,
Maine, in June, 1888, and learned the hard
ware business with his uncle, Samuel May, OF
Boston. He came to Canada in the spring OF
regular roads between Albany and Buffalo
and he had to ride on horseback the greater
part OF the way. He descended the st. Law
renee to Montreal in bateau, where he COM
menced the hardware business in partnership
with his UNCLE Samuel Nav, in 1909. His
brother Joseph afterwards joined him, but
died in 1882, and in 1885, Mr.. William Work
man, now Mayor of Montreal, was admitted to
the business, which was continued thereafter
under the name of Rockingham g. Work man.
La 1913 Mr.. Thomas Workman, now M. P. for
Montreal, was admitted a partner, and the bust
ness was thus carried on till 1859, when Mr..
rockingham and Mr.. VIM. Workman both
retired, selling out their interest to Thomas
Workman and George H. rockingham, son of
the senior partner. The firm of rockingham
q Workman, besides doing large importing
business, has done much to promote domestic
manufactures.
Mr.. Frothingham was first President of the
City Bank, ard held that office over % years.
He was one of the original trustees of the Brit
ish and Canadian School, and always took a
lively interest in that and similar institutions
He was for many years Governor of the
Montreal General Hospital, of which he was a
liberal supporter. Mr.. rockingham declined
all offices of honor, some of which he has been
frequently urged to accept. He leaves two
soas and daughter. -lontreal Witness, Sat

FIRST PARISH MEETING. An adjourned
meeting of the pew holders Of this church was
held yesterday afternoon, Lewis Pierce in the
chair. The special object of the meeting was
to hear the report Of the committee appointed
to take into consideration the building of a YES
try. That committee reported that Mr. l. p.
harrington had offered to the parish a lot of
land adjoining the church lot, provided suffi-
cient money could be raised to build a vestry
of a style in harmony with the church, before
April, 1871, and that they had procured plans
of such building, and recommended the ac-
ceptance of Mr.. Farrington's offer, provided
the money, not to exceed $4,000, could be rails
ed without assessments upon the pew holders.
After some discussion this report was recon-
mitted with instructions to amend it by strik-
ing out the last clause and inserting "that the
Parish shall accept the lot Of land offered by
Mr. Harrington whenever vestry shall have
been erected and rendered to the church free
of cost" This report was accepted as amend
ed. The thanks of the Parish were rendered
to Mr.. harrington for his liberal offer. The
committee on carpeting reported that they had
contracted for the thorough re-carpctng of the
church. Charles e. Jose was elected an asses
sor in the place of VIM. 2. Preble, resigned

Where others practice at hap-hazard and in
