The late Mr. Joel Bigelow.> We clip tbe following from the Cbicago Inler-Ocean of * February 141h : Mr. Joel Bigelow, residing at No. 2449 Prairie avenue, died Tuesday, of consumpt.ion. Mr-. Bige- low was born Nov. 91h, 1828, at Tecumseh, Ontario. His prominence as a citizen of Chicago and his sterling characler deserve tbat something sbould be said of this worbhy mati. He removed from Ontario to Mil- waukee in 1864, and in i866 e removed from Milwaukee to this ciîy and has ever since made bis home bere. For many years be was engaged in the tea business. Mr. .Bigelow was quite a large real estate owner In this ciîy, and was well 'te do aI the lime of hisdeath. One of the most notable events connected with his life In Chicago was bis leadership In forcing the opening of Dear.. born street (rom Jackson -street souîh te wbere it now terminates. At this dîne the Chicago and Western Indiana railroad had an ordigance that permitted it te cone nortb le Van Buren street. and in forcing the open- ing of Dearborn street Mr. Bigelow's figbî was a double one, and in this connection he had te conîend RgaintI his railread comparay. Hic figbt agaisî then resulted in a com-_ promise by wbich the railroad nuas made te stop at Polk sîreet.

MrWin, J.

Missions St. John's church aI the bay was more than comfortably filled on Tuesday evening, when tbe Rev.

The rev. gentleman took bis audience by means of maps and lime light views, to the <ai dis- tant noîth and gave them ideas of life among the Esquimaux and Indian tribes, such as few present bad ever before enter- tained. The address was made doubl y in- teresting by the exhibition of curios and im- plements mnanu<actured by those half civi- lized, unîutored creatures of the frozen north.
