Butler, who had been poorly in health the past few months, expired al- most instantly on Thursday evening last from 8 severe attack of hemorrhage. He leaves in his brothers care bright lit tie girl of three years who can scarcely realize the loss, she has lately sustained in the death of both father and mother.

 And still another darkened home, Charlie Cook, the unfortunate victim of the careless shooting affray as men, tioned last week, after days of great agony died of lock jaw, on Friday last. As we knew him, he was bright active little fellow and this sudden and seem- ingly uncalled for calamity falls with crushing weight to the widowed mother and the home where his presence was as g well-spring of joy and happiness.

Charlies funeral was at- tended, by large concourse of sympa- thizing friends for the sorrowing family on Sunday morning which was held under the trees around the old home stead, and his remains tenderly laid to rest in Evergreen cemetery at North Cornwall.
