DEPARTED THIS LIFE.

Died, late Saturday night January
l4th, 1899, Thomas Hickey, at his
home In the village. A stroke of pa
ralysis had confined him TO his bed
some time ago but after severe spell
of sickness, he had improved and his
friends were all counting on his speedy
recovery. What was the surprise then
when Sunday morning the news sped
around that Mr.. Hickey had died in
the night. A smothering attack had
come upon him followed by nausea,
and vomiting probably caused the
bursting of blood vessel of the brain.
Thomas Hickey was widower having
married Mary Walker, of Brockway
township who lived only short time
after marriage, and he never married
again. A man of splendid business
habits, careful and honorable in all
his dealings he was we'll liked and will
be much missed. Once school teach
er, he was very we'll educated and we'll
informed on all important topics of
the day. For fifteen years or more he
has been engaged in the grain bus
mess in Yale and was successful. Mr..
Hickey was born in oxford county,
Ont, Dec. 16, 1886, and came to Mich
igan when 23 years old. Up to the
time of the stroke of paralysis, was
seemingly strong healthy man.
Short funeral services were held at the
house on Tuesday conducted by Elder
Lester Clarke and the remains were
laid to rest in Elmwood cemetery.
Miss Jane Hickey, n sister of deceas-
ed has been with him during his sick
ness and was present at the funeral.
Deceased has two married sisters in
the State Of Wisconsin and two broth
ers in Canada.

Literary Notes.

The event of the literary year will be,
undoubtedly, the great novel upon
whicn Count Toistoy has been labor
ing in order that he may devote the
proceeds TO the TRANSPORTATION To Can
ada of three thousand Russian Quak-
ers. IL is generally believed by his
friends that this work will probably
mark the conclusion of Count Tolstoy's
literary career. Not merely on this
account, but because of the subject
treated, it will attract the widest atten-
ton, the world over. IL is n profound
study of the life of man and woman,
and treats of the three phases of love
that of the youth, that of the young
man, and that of the man in mature
age. The Cosmopolitan Magazine an
nounces that 1t has secured the sole
right of publication.
