In company with his wife and one or two others he was in the school house making preparations for the re- opening of the school on the following Mon- day. Without giving or apptrently reoeiv~ ing any summons of death he fell to the floor and expired in a few seconds. Heart trouble is said to have been the cause of his sudden death. Although deceased was not of a robust constitution he was generally able to attend to his duties, and his untime- 1y end in the prime of life has caused a. great shock to that section. Mr. Perkins had taught in the Victoria Square school for the past fifteen or sixteen years and was al- I'ays considered a painstaking and success- ful teacher. For about twenty years he was organist and choir leader in the Methodist church. Probably no perSon would be missed more in the church, as he was al- ways ready and willing to take part in any good undertaking. The Sabbath School also suffers a serious loss. as for many years he stamp for full particulars to The Canadian Agriculturist, Petuborougb, Canada. 2} A Good Offer.

Although we have no reason to think that the umpires and referee were not actua- ted on Saturday by motives of fairness, it would be interesting to many to know how they based their geometrical calculations on the third game given to the Junction team. It seemed to be evident to all that the ball was thrown from behind the flags, struck one of the poles and then bounded back a- gain behind the flags. If it can be shown how the ball could possibly have gone through tram the trout there are many who would like to see the solution. Miss Noble, of Peterboro', is the guest of Mrs. J. W. Emott. Mr. A.
