Garvin, Barrie, Ontario, ten years azo‘"amfter a comâ€" paratively brief illness. A week or so previously he suffered a stroke, from the effects of which he did not recover. At the time of death he was about 90 years old, but despite this unusual age he had enjoyed remarkably good health: until a short time ibefore his death. Until his last illness he retained all his faculties and was surprisingly acâ€" tive for one of his years. For a numâ€" ber of years he had been living retired, and he was a frequent visitor to Timâ€" mins where he spent extended visits at the home of his son, Mr. Geo. Lake, proprietor of The Advance. Here the late Mr. Lake made wide circles of friends by his beniality, his shrewd wit and humour, and his keen interest in a wide range of topics. cases, the coal oll exploded. Mrs. Carâ€" on was rather badly burned about the Pands and body but managed to get the flames out on her clothing, while at the same time protecting the baby in her arms.

The evidence showed that brass fittings and copper wire had been taken by boys from the brewery in Timmins and the mines around here and sold for prices much below value. The story told by the boys suggested that the dealer encouraged them to bring him goods and that he must at least have had a suspicion that they wer2 not coming by the goods honestly. There was no dqubt in the judge‘s mind that the accused had encouraged the boys to steal even if he had not actually incited them to crime. He had taken no precautions to see that the boys, who were quite young had any title to the goods,. He â€"kept no proper books or records. reception on his visit here and appreâ€" ciated very much the general recogniâ€" tion given to his talent and services, by his genial earnestness in his chosen work.
