Assisting the Leaguers were Mrs. (Dr.) Carter and Mr. M. K, Richardson. The latter spoke for some time. His utterances were reminiscent and of exceeding interest to those present. Mr. Uichatdson told uf a meeting he had attended at the time of the Crimean war. It was jusc after iLe famous charge of the Light Brigade |at BalacUta. and Tennyson's wonderful little poem com- memorating that event had not been in print two weeks. At the gathering Mr. Richardson referred to. Rev. Morley Puushon, the great Methodist orator, recited Tennyson's "Charge of the Light Brigade." The etfect, ha siid, w.is wonderful. Men embraced, each other and wept. The town in which the meet- ing was held had seor, numbers to the Crimea who never were beard of again as no accurate records were kept ^of the dead, so that the poem had a personal grip that, coupled with the orator's powers, moved men as strong feelings only can move them.

He was born forty-six years ago on the homestead near the Durham corners. In 1885 be married Miss Isabel Websttr and settled near Eugenia. His wife only lived three years, leaving two sons Wesley and Joseph, the latter since de- ceased.

He leaves to mouru their lo.ss a Wloved wife, two sous and a daughter, Wesley, Frank and Lena, and John Sloan, a ton o( Mrs. Duncan's to all tf whom much .sympathy i.s extended. Last January the ele^-tors of .Aitemesia paid high tribute to Mr. Duncan by elect- ing him to a seat at the council board, but illness bad of late prevented him taking an active part iu the works of that board. The funerid on Sunday was very large- ly attended, and the ftiueral sermon waa preached in the Presbyterian chucrh. Among the friends from a ditrtauce were Mr. and Mrs. Job Turner of Paisley, Jlr.

The largest and most powerful gun ever built for the Cuited States navy has arrived at the Washin^tun Mavy Yard. It is a 14-inch rifie, 53 feet long, and discharges a shell weighing 1,4U0 pounds.

Each discharge will cost about 9oOO.

Partridge, had one of his legs fractured between the ankle and knee on Tuesday, 'and be will probably be laid up for many weeks.

One bone was broken owice, both ends protruding through the flesh and skin. â€" San. Mr. Jos. McArdle, of Hopeville, father of Lawyer McArdle, of Markdale, had his arm broken above the Wrist by a fail on a ahppery sidewalk on Monday morn- ing.
