Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Rae, the death this
morning of their little boy, Thomas
Henry. aged one year and eight days.
The little one has never been very strong
and for that reason was the object OF
much loving care not ordinarily be-
slowed upon healthier children. For
this reason and the fact that it was their
only boy, makes the trial all the more
severe to the bereaved parents. The
funeral will take place tomorrow after
noon from the house at o'clock, Rev. j.
Y. Ewart conducting the services.

secure the passage OF the measure in the

Uncle John McGormick's 3 family was
again victimized last evening by people
Of the Masonic fraternity to the number
Of thirty-five who invaded his home
shortly after nightfall and remained till
a late hour. Their object was to pay Mr.

for Colorado next Monday, and the com
pany consisted OF such people as the Nc
Callisters, Lees. Prestons, Fits, Hol
bridge and other old settlers. Uncle
John entertained them with reminiscent
ces OF Scotland stories, scenes Of the
home and land OF Burns, aged memen
toes, etc. The social babble appears te
have been something marvellous. Be

! with a handsome silver goblet inscribed
Presented to e. Mccormick, Feb. "a
1884, and on the reverse side: Madison
Chapter o. E. S.-6" The occasion was
