Smith received a sud- den call to Toronto on Sunday after- noon last on account of the death of her sister, Miss E. J. McKibbon. Miss McKibbon had been an invalid for many years and for the past three years a helpless bed patient. She resided with her sister, Miss I. R. McKibbon, 42 Maitland Street, Who ministered to her with loving affec- tion during her long illness. “And Death itself, to her, was but The wider opening of the door That had been opening, more and more‘ Through all her life, and ne’er wasl Constable James Walker surprised a party of hunters poaching for pheasants on the farm of Douglas Hood last Friday afternoon. ’Three beautiful birds were victims of the sport. The Constable confiscated both the birds and the guns, and the culprits were remanded for trial this week. The fine Imposed for such an offence is a heavy one, and the ex- periences of these chaps should be a timely warning to others. Pheasants have been frequent visitors in our Village, and the kind folk who have been feeding and protecting them dur- ing‘ the severe winter weather resent! keenly such treatment to their feath-i ered friends. Through the generosity of Mr. G. I. Hambly a large flock of pheasants are fed daily on his farm. If looking for sport, why not pick off a few of the undesirables, starlings for instance, that are proving such 3.] menace, as well as driving away sol many of our song birds.
