 While on furlough home in Phila- deIphia he married Miss Ella Gill in 1863 and three children, all of whom survive him. were the result of the union.

He continued in the department until 1887, when he retired.

 The 43rd annual reunion of MT. Snowden's regiment took place on Wednesday in Torrington and he had planned to attend. But as he was about to leave his home for a short walk on Tuesday afternoon he slipped on the steps of the veranda and was so severely injured that he died in a few hours.
 The funeral was attended by many members of the regiment who jour- neyed down from Torrington on re- ceiving the news of his death and with whom MT. Snowden was very popular.
 A very touching incident of the fu- neral was the burial of the old tatter- ed. 30-star flag for which he had fought, with the casket containing the mortal remains Of a man noted for his bravery.

Mrs. James Slater Dead.

Mrs. James Slater of Carlisle died on
Sunday morning about two o'clock.
While not unexpected, this announce
ment will make much sorrow among
very large circle Of friends. Mrs, Slater
had all hvr life been strong rugged
woman and had always put out her full
strength assisting her husband to open
up and carry on the labors connected
with making home on a farm in new
country. Eight years ago her health
failed. Since that time she has under
gone several severe operations, and while
sometimes better yet on the whole there
has been gradual failing until the end
came without severe suffering.
Her maiden name was Olevia Basken
and she was born near Ottawa 81 years
ago next August. She was the only

Mrs. Slater was one of those bright
cheerful women who had pleasant and
hearty greeting for all whom she met
Even in her extreme suffering in hel
long illness she still preserved an indom
liable courage and bouyant:spirits which
doubtless did mnch to prolong her life

struggle.

1 Rain i and ] / !; Z i i htnlnl !.

Everybody wished Tor rain and every
body got his wish. Saturday about noon
there was nice little shower just wet
ting the ground and Mr.. Every body re-
marked "that was nice, only wish we had
more of it," and about SIX it gave US
some more and during tie night some
more and then on Sunday morning some
more in buckets full. After it was oil
over nobody wished for more at this
time. The total rainfall was two inches
and half here. All Saturday night
heavens artillery Numbered in almost
continuous roar.
The rain was much heavier few
miles to the west and south, four inches
being reported at Bathgate. At
toilette lightning struch Ernest Pari-
seau's barn which was burned and sew
en- horses lost as told in another place in
this issue by our local correspondent
from there. Mr. Grifiths and son who
were sleeping in house two miles west
of Macarthur we're nearly victims of the
lightning which struck the end of the
building and gave them severe shock.
The buildings on the Cabal place on
the Pembina river were destroyed, D.
Bearsto had horse killed, the Cellar
residence at Bathgate was struck and
at Crystal an elevator and the residence
of Rev. Richmond. At the latter place
the house was set on fire and the fire de-
partment was called out in the rain to
put it out.
Some hail fell near Zerbe but the
crop is not far enough advanced to be
damaged to any extent.
The country between Bowesmont and
toilette had very heavy downpour that
will damage the growing crops to large
extent. The heavy rains of two weeks
ago thoroughly soaked the ground and
left much low land under water and this
second dose has again covered the fields
with standing water which will un-
doubtedly scald and kill much of the
flooded grain. The storm was just about
as bad over in Cavalier county along
the Hannah line but did not extend
much farther south than Grafton.

The general synod of the Icelandic
lutheran church is in session this week
at Winnipeg. Clerk of Court Geo. w.
Peterson and j. F. Hanneson went
from here. In this denomination
as we'll as many others at the
present time, there is a tendency to
liberalism of thought and belief which
is being vigorously opposed by
others. This matter is likely to come up
during the session of the synod and the
reports of the meeting will be closely
read by the members of the various con-
gregatlons. Delegates from the other
co lnty congregations have also gone
through on the trains this week. Rev. F.
j. Bergman, formerly of this county and
for several years professor in Wesley
College at Winnipeg seems to be the
particular "liberal" against whom the
opposition will concentrate.

by winning the handsome silver cup
which was put up for competition by the

years in succession it remains the prop

team also went to Bathgate on Tuesday
and made score to jim their favor
On Wednesday evening Emerson came
over and came near making an exception
of the regular rule and succeeded in
making it a tie with runs on side.
