Close â€" of a Useful Life, After being many years an invalid Dr. Aaron Eby passed away on Wedâ€" nesday at his home on Maynard 8t., corner Margaret Ave., and with him is removed one of the finest types of a generation, now rapidly growing old and leaving thescene of earthly action. Dr. Eby was born on Aug. 14th, 1838 on the farm where the House of Inâ€" dustry now stands and was therefore 60 years of age at the time of his death, He was a man of culture, a voluminous reader of good intellect who always took ~a ~â€"deep interest in current events and a life long Reformer, Dr. Eby was a graduate in medicine of Toronto University of the year ‘64 and of Bellvue Hospital, New York, of the same year. â€" He practised his proâ€" fession in the village of Sebringville from 1865 to 1874. â€" From 1875 to 1881 in company with Mr. John Rittinger, he published the Walkerton "Telesâ€" cope" and @"the Glocke" in the inâ€" terest of the Reform party to which he was a lifeâ€"long adherent. At the earnest solicitation of his many friends in Sebringville he returned and re sumed his practice until 1885, when illâ€"health compelied him to relinquish it. He returned to Berlin some two Miss Matheson, of Tavistock, and years ago. In spite of his quiet seclusion Dr. Eby always took a deep interest in the questions of the day. .

He will winter in Woodstock, where indoor ball is becoming popular, coaching several local nines. â€" Cristal‘s proâ€" tracted delivery, ‘the long swinging ari., so trying to the onlookers and catcher alike, has given way to a more rational style which has materially inâ€" creased the exâ€"Berliner‘s effectiveness. Cristal stands straight up now, shootâ€" ing them over fast and with many a weird bending. Cristal broke even with Manager Taylor on the throw down the Toronto management handed out to "Buster" this spring.
