Even less interest than was shown last year was manifested by the gen- eral public in the annual meeting of the Royal Victoria Hospital, which was held in the Council `Chamber on Tuesday afternoon. Not a person outside the members of the Board put in an appearance. It was hoped that the discussion of hospital affairs in connection with the byllaw author- I izing the grant this year would have brought out a better attendance, but. the people apparently are quite will-l ing to let the Board run the instit-| utign. | ._-...-.I-..4.

Particulars of the tragic event -are_given by our Thorn- ton correspondent as follows:-- 7111-3, L ` Fatal Accident foiJ.'D. smith; N0t`Discovered for Two - A Days. -- --_'_rv--_.v-.- -u --vnn\I "~- This bommunity was shocked on Monday morning to hear of the tragic death of John D. Smith, one of our highly respected citizens. Mrs. Smith returned home late Sunday evening from Toronto, where she had been visiting her son for a week. Finding the doors of her home locked, she was - not alarmed -as it was thought that ' Mr. Smith was keeping house for Mr. lKennedy, the tenant of their farm, ,as he had sometimes done. Early 'Monday morning, Mrs. Smith walked `out to the farm with some warm `clothing for Mr. Smith. Upon her arrival she learned that Mr. Smith !had not been there, but Mr. Kennedy [remembered having heard someone chopping in the bush on Saturday. Proceeding tothe bush. they found his 1ifeless`body crushed beneath the limb of a tree. Drs. Horton and Lewis were notied and after viewing the body decided an inquest was un- necessary. It is thought that death was instantaneous, ashis hands were still on the axe when found. Mr. Smith was seen going toward his farm on Saturday morning and it is thought the accident occurred early in the day. as he had only felled one tree. It is thought the tree which struck the fatal blow had lodged in another tree and was let down upon the unfortunate man by the breaking I ` of the limb which held it. Deceased was 82 years of age and enjoyed exceptional vigor for his :,'ears. He was born at Guelph, but !came to Thornton neighborhood as a '-lad of twelve and spent the remain- der of his days here. He was of a !very quiet disposition, beloved by all lwho knew him, and a member of the United Church. The funeral took place to Barrie Union Cemetery on Wednesday afternoon. The deepest ]sympathy isextended to Mrs. Smith land their son Dolby.
