The Doctor is Can- adian representative at the conven- tion of the Universal Postal Union which meets this year in the City of Rome. The representatives of the various countries assembled regulate the rates and discuss different phases of the postal service throughout the world. The convention meets every seven years, though on account of the Russo-Japanese war the meeting was postponed for two years. Their many friends here will Wish Dr. and Mrs. Coulter a. pleasant trip and a safe return. Mr. Casper Wideman, one‘ of the oldest and most highly respected citizens of that section of country, died at his home, near Gormley, on Wednesday, the 2151'. of February, in his 85th year. He was horn in the year 1822 on the 4th Concession of Whitchurch, and had lived‘ on the farm on which he died for upwards of 60 years. The funeral took place to the Dunkard Cemetery on the follow- ing Friday, when the service was con- ducted by Rev. Mr. Fidler and Rev. J. G. Hoover of the Mennonite faith. W. J. Johnson and Sons of Fisher- ville have purchased the property beâ€" longing to Mr. W. Wood, Maple, and intend to carry on the butchering- business. They will move here in May, and will keep a good [stock of meats on hand to supply their custom-- ers. The fancy dress carnival in Gallan- ough’s skating rink, Thornlhill, was well patronized on Tuesday evening. There were about 400 present, and about 50 were in costume. The ice was in good condition and the home band furnished good music.

The vote polled for the byâ€" law was 101, against the by-law 90. We have been shown a draft of the new James Bay Railway depot for Richmond Hill, to be erected in the early summer. Judging by the de- sign, the new station will be quite up-to-d‘ate. The Markham Village Public School Building was burned Wednesday morn ing of last week. The loss will be nearly $6,000. Insurance $3,800. The fire was caused'by a. defective fur- nace pipe. RICLUVIOND HILL, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MARCH 12th, 1936 Two rinks of the Thornhill Curling Club came up on Monday afternoon and played the return match with our men. The ice was in perfect con- dition and a good game was the re- sult. The ice was evidently a little keener than the Thornhill players had been used to, so that the home rinks secured an easy victory. The follow- ing are the players on each side: Thornhill ,r' Richmond Hill H. Harper, A. Moodie, J. Wilson, F. McComghy, Dr. Nelles, W. H. Pugsvley R. Clark, skip ‘ J. Palmer, skip Rev. J. Morgan, T. F. McMahon, R. Thomson, J. Mortson, Dr. Galilanough, M. Boyle, J. Morgan, skip H. A. Nicholls, skip The visitors were afterwards dined at the Dominion House by their “brithers.” A pleasant half hour was afterwards spent listening to a numâ€" ber of short speeches, an excellent recitation by Mr. J. Wilson, and a song- “My ain Scotch Lassie” by Mr. Moodie. All separated after singing the National Anthem. WAY BACK IN LIBERAL FILES From Our Issue of March 12th, 1896 The Concrete House is being brightened up by Mr. W. Mintern and his men, who have been engaged calâ€" cimining the ceiling, painting the Wood-work, etc. Itis only a. short time ago since a new hardwood floor was laid, so that the whole interior of the store now looks bright, cheer- ful and new. That well-known property known as the Bond’s Lake Hotel changed hands on Saturday last when it fell under auctioneer Eckardt’s hammer. Mr. Harry Legge, of Jefferson, was the purchaser, and the price- is $1825. About five acres of land on which is a frame dwelling was also bought by auction from the executors of the Dibb estate for $260. ' FORTY YEARS AGO Mr. St. George paid her occasional visits and in due course a. second daughter, Madeleine, was born. Year‘s later she came to Toronto to direct; ‘ her father’s home on Yonge Street (opposite Wood and Alexander) and to become one of the belles of To- ronto Society. The future seemed bright for father and daughter, butl destiny again intervened. A famous French preacher came to St. Michael’s _ Cathedral, Madeleine heard him, de- icid'ed to become a nun and devote her glife to mercy and good works. She Ireturned to France, leaving a heart- broken father who, in his later years, tgave his spare moments to entertain- ,ing at Glen-lonely more especially .children, to whom his beautiful home was a. paradise. In 1896 he died and! Do you know the romance and tragedy contained in the story of the Quetton St. George family in York and Toronto? Many a novelist tax- ing his or her imagination for a plot has failed to draft one which would: equal the tragedy which made up the, ' history of this distinguished family.r ' of old France, which through twa of I ' its sons adopted Canada as their home. It was in 1798 that the party! of French Royalist refugees, led by' l the Count de Puisaye, landed at York.; :- The foolish scheme of the Count to convert French aristocrats into pion- eers of the-Canadian bush, and his unhappy colonization project came to nought. Mayor Quetton de St. George seems to have been the only one of the party who had any practical busi- ness common sense. He determined‘ to take this land of refuge as his own,’ having proven his gratitude to Eng- land for having permitted him to find) ' safety on her shores by adding “de St. ' "George" to his name, Laurent Quet-: ’;ton, retaining the affix even after‘ ii his return to France. 5 ’ He realized the possibilities of this ' new country when the inevitablel catastrophe came and the colony wasl scattered it was Quetton de St! l l -:-â€"-1 George who bought the lands in Ux- bridge, Gwillimbury, near Whitby and Whitchurch and in the ‘town’ of Wind- ham, near Bond’s Lake. He had, upon his arrival, expended his last ten dol- lars in the purchase of a peddler’s pack. The aristocrat did not disdain the calling of an itinerant merchant. So well did) this enterprise succeed I that when Count de Puisaye went to England in 1802 to solicit further aid . for the colony, St. George accompanied I : him to New York and purchased mer-l chandise With which, as advertised in the Niagara Herald of Aug. 7, 1802 “Messrs. Quetton St. George and: Oom- '1 panly” opened a store at Niagara. From this, in course of time, there 1 developed other stores at Queenston, ] Lundy’s Lane, Amherstburg', King- ‘ ston and York, he finally disposing of the former and devoting his whole ltime to the business in this town. Tradition has it that he built the first brick house in York, on the corner of. Princess and Queen Sts. bringing the brick from Kingston. The .businessl' grew, and with it Quetton St. George’s ] reputation as an honest merchant and. a good citizen. But when in 1815 ‘ Louis XVIII was restored to thel‘ throne and France called back her , scattered sons, he, with others, re-l sponded to the call. He determined that it should only be a temporary absence, because he wanted to come =back to his business and his friends! among whom were W. W. Baldwin,” Bishop Strachan, Charles J. Scott, , D’Arcy Boulton, John Small, John , lMcGill and John Beverley Robinson. - i 4 c n ( l ( 1 . l ‘It was, however, destined that he'- 's-hould never come back. He had his estates restored, married, and had a éson Henri, the business in Canada be- ing administered\ by the Baldwin family. The father med about 1827. was buried in the little cemetery at St. John’s Church, Oak Ridges. A plain gray slab bears the inscription; “In most loving memory of Henri; In 1846 Hem'i came to see his pro- perty in. Canada. He brought hlS‘ beautiful wife with him and they went to live on a. farm near Windham, but the wife spoke no English, she was a. stranger in a strange land, even though her mother had come with her, so mlserable was she that she named the new home “Glenâ€"lonely.” Her only pleasure was in caring for her baby Jeanne, but when she died Madam de St. George decided that she had had enough of Canada and went back to the old home in France.
