 i- .; sir- The Stanxlard. MABKDALE. AUGUST 9tH 1888. SAD BESULT8 PBOM AN EXCUB8I0N. The Owen Sound Firemen had an excnr- •ion to Midland City per steama Magnet, whiob left the above port last Friday morn- ing with over *00 passengers. There was considerable wind on that, as well as the two following days. The steamer should have retomed the same night bat owing to the rough sea did not attempt to leave Midland ontil the following day, and then had to seek â- belter among the Christian Islands and did not make CoUingwood nntil Sunday morn- ing. During this time the residents of Owen Sound, (almost every family of which waa represented on the supposed ill fated Magnet) were thrown into intense nxcitement One, Mrs. Locke of tbe lake shore, Sydenham, died on Sunday from over excitement, she having a daughter on board the ezoursion, steamer. The party arrived safe, however, at noon on Monday, being two and a half days overdue. The sad news proved fatal to Miss Lv^k, who on hearing of her mother's death was so overcome with grief that she died before she reached her home.. MASONIC PIC-NIC Prince Arthurs Lodge, of Fleshertcn, h^ their annual pic-nio at Eugenia Flallv, o«, Friday last, and though the d^y was verj cool, even chilly part of the time, tb^ia wa 4 laige turn out. Maxwell, Flesherton and Markdale were well represented while the agricultural classes put in a very creditable appearance. Messrs. W. Masson and O. Ingles, of Owen Sund were present, and Messrs. Elliott, and Kudd of the town of Perth. The services ot the Flesherton Brass Band were very acceptable on the occasion- About 2 o'clock the contents qf numerous well filled baskets where placed, ig, position making a fine displayi.and, wan^ surrounded by Doctors, Lawyers, MinisterSi, l^rchants, Mechanics, Agriculturists, 9riq|«|9. Hotel- keepers, with their wires ao^ families all ap- parently determined to mak(i themselves and otheri' happy. W« don't: know that the ladies belong to the ' Masonic Order, but they show just as much enthusiasm and union of effort in making the pic-nic an en- joyable affair as the Master Masons possibly can do, andithe increased suotess wl^eh at- tends each successive party proves that their efiorts are not in vain. After the ref|^8h- ments wore disposed of, games were â-  entered into and t^ese together with the graod natural scenery, of Eugenia Falls and its surround* ing werp immensely enjoyed by the party, which broke up in. reasonable time, all well pleased with their day'si sport. OBITUARY. Alexander Irwin, who departed this life on the morning of the 1st inst., was one of tbe pioneers of Artemesia. He was bom in Sligo, Ireland, in 1798. being the only son of Chris, topher and Eliza Irwin of that place. His f fither died when he was very you ng, and he emained in the land of his nativity till 1850, in which year he emigrated to America, and. during the same autumn, settled at his late home when the forest for miles. on. all sides waa scarcely yet desecrated by the wood- man's axe- Encountering- the difficulties usual to pio- neers and ovgrcoiuing them by patience, perseverance and industry, is a part of the history of Mr. Irwin's life ip the backwoods. But, time and circumstances, which change all things, in later yiars found him comforl- ably situated in a country teeming, not only with tbe necessaries of hfe, but tbe luxuries uf an advaneed aj^e of enlightenment â€" a re- sult which bis own hand has been instru- m.ntal in pcduciag from a region clad in iiture's primeval garb. Mr. Irwin has held a variety of elective aad appointed .offices while a resident of A' temesia, including that of Deputy Eeeve (the first ever elected in the township) and a justice of the peace for •28,v6ars. Hj married in 1820 Frances, daughter of Lieut. Hurrass, of the -ITth Regiment of tbe Lritish army, wmo served through Welling- ton's campaigns in The Pe:iiusula and at \\'aterloo. and who subsequently died in InJia. They had a family of ten. eight of whom yet survive. His wife died in 187r, since wiiicu time he resided with bis young- est sou Henry D who is a J. P, and one of the heading and most prosp.'i-ous farmers in, the township. The subject of this notice was highly re- spected by all who knew him, was of a cheer- lull geuial ai.-position vhich together with rt good education and fine iuteUect. r^iudereU his si c ity diCeeJingiy de-irable t^ld pleia- aut.
