Mrs. Sarah Ross, wife of Rev. p. Ahcrl
of Drayton, died at st. Vincent, MIMI,
April 2lst, 1889, aged 33 years.
Mrs. Ahern was born in the city Of
Quebec, Canada, and was the daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Drummond Ross, hel
grandfather being General Ross. of the
British, army. Mrs. Ross having been
left widow, afterwards married Mr.
Fleurie Taschcreau, with whom she
cmigrated to this country and whose
sudden death, about two years since,
was much regretted by our citizens.
Mrs. Aherm was II lady whose lomcs.

were exemplified those traits of cl,arac.

the sweetest words and dearest thoughts
which belong to this world of ours, and
which link it with heaven. Yet in her
advanced social position as the wife of a
teacher and afterwards in the more on.
erous duties of a clergyman's wife, she
was always ready and well qualified to
fill her social and religious duties, and
the people of Pembina, Drayton and st.
Vincent sincerely regret her early de.
mise.
As the sunlight of the glad Easter
morning came glancing through the win
dow, like the sunlight that illuminated
the world when the first cry came, "Hc
has riscn," she, like her Lord, burst
the bars which held her in pain and eor-
row, and rose 10 the world where the
weary are at Test. God be with the sor-
rowing husband and three little ones left
behind.
The funeral services were held ut
Grace church, Penbina. Rev. Mr.. Beer

of friends gathered in sorrow and SYM
patty to pay their last respects to one
whom they had regarded as ncighbor
and loved as friend. Tie remains
were buried in the Pembina cemetery,
where within the short space of four
years, n father. a sister. Il brother and a
child laye preceded her.

Hunting Yarns.

Nine hunters from Pembina and eight
hunters from Neche met OH Saturday
at the Geroux slough. A flock Of geese
came sailing down; pop! pop! went seven-
teen guns. The feathers flew-away
with the geese. All save one lone
goose who fell two miles away. Each
hunter claimed the goose but the jolly
miller from Pembina got him, being
light Of foot. But revenge is sweet and
when the aforesaid j. III. and his partner
came in the dark to hitch up their pony
and 80 home, said pony had already
gone. Thej. IN. says the "dog gated

wink at each other and say, who got the
goose? The pony got home safe and 30
did the hunters, but the j. III. says it is
ut least ten miles to Picl,e's, when you
walk.
Two other hunters, our worthy NJ. ID.

their guns and went forth to prey up.
OH the feathereG tribes. They saw a
flock Of "wavys" at long distance OF,
the ground. Down into the grass they
went, creeping, crawling, rolling, hiding
in the grass, for mile or more, but grad.

shooting distance, when with one! two
