MILDMAY POWER DAM GONE (Mildmay Gazette.) .On Tuesday night the power dam atthe Hamel furniture factory broke away and by the next morning the big reservoir was entirely empty. The water evidently broke through at the foundation of the overflow, and its great force carried away scores of tons of gravel and stones down the stream. The machine secâ€" tion of the factory will be closed un- til repairs are made and that will take a week at least. This mill-pond was reported to be teeming with trout, but the break no doubt car- ried away many 0f the speckled beauties down the stream.

Besides the Widow and family nl-‘ ready referred to, he leaves two brothers, James P., and John H., en- gaged in merchandizing under the familiar title of J. J. Hunter. In politics, Mr. Hunter was a Liberal, and in religion a Presbyterian. Mr. Hunter never sought for pubâ€" licity, but had a deep interest in municipal afl‘airs and served on the Council for several years, being,r Mayor for a number of terms. In public matters he took the same inâ€" terest shown in his private” business, and the public felt assured under his guidance of a careful and. judicious administration of the town’s finanâ€" cial interests. A couple of years ago Mr. Hunter disposed of his form, but retained the home, and since then to the time of his illness devoted his energies to the hardware business. Mr. Hunter was an industrious and energetic farmer in the strictest sense of the term, and was highly successful in agriculture and stock- raising. He was an. extensive breed- er of Hereford stock, and at times had the finest herd in Ontario. For many years he engaged extensively in grain-buying, but never lost his interest in farming. In connection with his other pursuits, he entered a flour and feed business over twen- ty-five years ago, and in this, too, he had eminent success. Some twelve or fifteen years ago, he discontinued the flour and feed business and put in a large stock of hardware, which of late years has been chiefly under the management of his son, Mr. Oliver S. Hunter. A. 8. Hum- DIED HOID‘AY DURHAH’S OLDBST BBSIDEII‘I' ' Mr. A. S. Hunter. who has been ailing for the past year, passed away on Monday evening about 8 o’clock.
