of Merrickville)
-Mr. Chester Jakes, son of Mr. S. Jakes of this place was
married at the residence of the bride’s mother, Bristol, Que., on the (18th?)
of September, by the Rev. John Graham, to Annie, daughter of the later Peter
Little of the above place. They
returned home on Tuesday after a short trip.
-Dr. Kelly, of Ottawa, spent the greater portion of last

here on the above day. We are
pleased to see the Dr. looking so hale and hearty and trust that he may have
many a happy year yet.
-Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Wickware who have seen 57 years of
married life, and who are at the present stopping with their son-in-law, Mr. Jo.
Tero, had the pleasure of taking dinner with their four daughters on Friday last
at Mr. Tero’s, a thing which has not occurred in the history of the family for
22 years. Mr. and Mrs. W. are both
over 80 years of age and hale and hearty.
-Rev. Father Kelly, who has been pastor of the Roman
Catholic Church here for the last 3 years, preached his last sermon and said his
last mass in this parish. He goes
to Glengarry to take charge of the diocese there. This is one of the largest diocese in the Province and the
rev. gentleman will have considerable of a task before him in filling the above
position. His sermon last Sunday
was interesting and affecting, and scarcely a dry eye was to be seen in the
large congregation who had assembled to receive consolation and bid him goodbye
prior to his leaving for his future field of labour.
Merrickville loses a just man and first class citizen.
The Rev. Father will always be received back among us with a hearty shake
of the hand.

Her funeral which took place on Friday at 9 a.m. was one of the largest
ever seen in this village; and as she was in attendance at school here the week
before, the trustees decided that the pupils of her room should have a half
holiday in order that they might attend the funeral en
masse. This program was carried
out and while the companies of her joyous laughter, gaiety and affections of
less than 2 weeks before headed the procession, the mournful aspect and
solemnity of the occasion was only eclipsed by the imposing sight of the cottage
as it went by on its way to the Roman Catholic Cemetery.
The Rev. Father Kelly read the funeral address and otherwise officiated

-The following obituary from the Seaforth Sun has reference to the little son of Mr. F. G. Neelin, who at one time lived here and who now has many friends and relatives here:
“This sweet little black-eyed boy, the loved son of Fred and Anna Neelin, died on the 12th inst., aged 4 years, 8 months and 2 days. Those who have never experienced a similar bereavement can hardly sympathise properly nor realize aright the deep death-like gloom which the loss of this lovely little boy brought to the once cheerful and happy home. He had grown up like a fair olive plant at his father’s table and both father and mother are inclined to say, now that he has gone, “Clarence was the best of all we loved.” Is it not true that the sweetest flower in the garden, the one we most admired, is the first to fade away and the child upon whom we had centred our hopes, and for when we had painted the brightest future is the first to be taken away from us. Thus it was with Clarence – an opening rose bud nipped by death’s early frost. OH! What a word of beauty has faded away with our darling boy. God’s will be done, we feel now that it was better for our tender child to depart. He has been taken away from the evil to come. Though grief fills the room, our gentle boy blooms now in immortality. It was hard to give him up but death is no respecter of persons. He deals his blows amongst the flowers of the field as well as amongst the giants of the forests, so childhood and youth as well as manhood and old age, fall before his stern stroke of the relentless tyrant of whom it has well been said;
“Leaves have their time to fall,
And flowers to wither at the north wind’s breath.
And stars to set – but all,
Thou hast all seasons for thine own, O death”.”

position and leaves tomorrow for Ayr where, in connection with his father, he

-Mr. John McKiney died at his residence, South Burgess, on
Tuesday, October 30th, aged 65 years, his funeral took place on
Thursday, November 1st. Mr.
McKiney was one of the oldest settlers in South Burgess where he had lived
almost continuously since his boyhood, and by his perseverance he accumulated
considerable property which he lately divided between his family of whom he had
six sons and four daughters. He was
in his day a hard working, industrious, honest man.
-Within the last few years the hand of death has made sad
ravages in the ranks of the band of pioneers who first settled the township of
Elmsley. One by one they have been
dropping into the silent tomb, most of them in the township for which they had
worked and struggled to make it what it now is, a prosperous and thriving
township. The last to pass away has
been George Nichols, Esq., who died at his late residence near Lombardy on
Thursday evening, Oct 25th, aged 82 years. Mr. Nichols came to the township of Elmsley with his father,
Clark Nichols, some 65 years ago and was the eldest of 7 brothers all of whom
are now dead but one, Eldad Nichols, who resides in the village of Toledo.
When Mr. Nichols first came to this township it was little more than a
dense forest with the exception of a small clearing and a shanty and these few
and far between: still they denoted that a settler had come and tackled the
forest to hew out of it a home for himself and descendants after him.
Such was the township of Elmsley when Mr. Nichols first settled on lot
No. 14 in the 1st concession where he resided fro many years.
Latterly he lived on lot No. 23 in the 2nd concession.
He was a justice of the peace for many years but very seldom acted in his
capacity as magistrate. He was reserved in his manner, a good neighbour, an honest,
upright man, a kind and affectionate husband and an indulgent parent.
He professed the Baptist persuasion, in which faith he died.
He was a Christian man in every sense of the word.
He was followed to the grave (in the old cemetery at Lombardy) by a large
number of friends, relatives and neighbours who showed their deep respect for
the dead and their sympathy for his wife and family who are left to mourn his
loss. Peace to his ashes.

Fatal Railway Accident
-An accident occurred on the C.P.R. on Saturday evening last near the Chalk River station by which a number of cars were destroyed and a promising young man, named Tetlock was killed. It seems that a heavy freight train east bound separated about a mile out from Chalk River by reason of the coupling breaking. The detached cars followed on after the front part of the train, and as soon as the break was discovered the engine was reversed to admit of the other cars catching up when the coupling would again be made. Tetlock was at his post on top of a box-car, on the first section, waiting for the others to close up, and it being dark did not notice that between him and the box-cars in the distance were a number of flats, when suddenly the crash came. He was thrown into the air and his lifeless body was afterwards found between two of the flats, his head crushed and his neck broken. Ten cars were derailed and smashed to pieces – five flats, two box and three cattle cars. Six head of cattle were killed outright and two more had to be butchered to put them out of agony.
The Carleton Place
Herald says that the eldest son of Mr. Henry Tetlock of that place was only
21 years of age and was married on the16th of November last, hardly a year ago,
and his untimely end is a very severe shock to his young wife and bereaved
parents. He was a member of the
Independent Order of Foresters (having been initiated only last Tuesday night)
and the O.Y.B.’s and those societies have done what they could to ease the
sorrow of the afflicted family. The
funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon. The
unfortunate young man was well known in railway circles here, where he acted in
the capacity of car checker last winter.
- A singular fatality is reported from Allumiette Island.
Some days ago there was a party at the house of a farmer named Kelly.
During the evening an altercation arose between Kelly’s son and another
young man, and the two adjourned to the yard to settle the difficulty by testing
their pugilistic accomplishments. Among
the crowd which rushed out to witness the affair was the elder Kelly who asked
his son’s antagonist if he would strike him.
The man replied he would and the next moment the old man dropped dead.
