“The dwelling of Mrs. Margaret
Rue, two and a half miles North
of this place, was destroyed by
lire last night about 8 o’clock,
together with the household and
kitchen furniture. Onlyasmall
quantity of clothing was saved.
As the family had retired for the
night the Haines had gained
considerable headway before it
was discovered. The loss is es
timated at $2,000; no insurance.
It is thought to be the work of
an incendiary. Mrs. Rea is a

last few months lost both her
husband and father and she is
now left almost destitute with a
family of four children.”
IN MEMORIAM.
Cr. W. A. Player.
The beloved physician is no more,
Between midnight and dawn of day,
He erowed over to the other shore,
To test forever, our Father, we pray.
He stood with us beside our loved ones,
Sympathy flowing from the manly
heart;
Our Saviour, grant that he lias heard
‘’Well done,”
Which is of heaven so fair a part.
His untold acts of mercy, scattered
far and wide,
Are numbered in the lifeliook.
And we know that whatever betide,
On that fair record our Saviour will
look.
He believed in the sinners’ friend,
And cried, “Lord have mercy on
me;”
Our Saviour listens to every cry to the
end,
That prayer a passport to heaven
may be.
We commit to Thy Almighty keeping,
The loved ones to him ever dear,
Watch over them, guarding, guiding.
Thy strong arm fcrjver near.
