Only the night before he had driven to Appleton and back, unattended by anyone. On his return it was noticed that he way in a very weak state, and the family saw that the end was not very far off; but the vital cord was broken almost ere they fully realized it. Death at any age and under any circumstances is sad and painful to contemplate, but it is a peculiarly sad thing to see a useful young man like Mr Smith cut down in the very prime of his life, he having reached only his thirty-fifth year. But it must be a comfort to the bereaved in all such cases to know that "God doeth all things well," and that "Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face." Mr Smith was one of Ramsay township's most intelligent and enterprising young farmers, and was highly respected by all who had the pleasure of being acquainted with him. He took a course in Almonte high school, and brought the education there obtained to bear upon his work on the farm, although he might with profit and honour to himself have chosen a professional calling and done well in it. In politics he was an ardent and active Liberal, and on the public questions of the day he was more than usually well informed. About two years ago he contacted a cold, and, as is too often the case with the young and vigorous, he thought lightly of it and paid no attention to it until that fell enemy of mankind, consumption, had marked him for its own. A long holiday in the Adirondacks was tried, but it was in vain, as the disease had made too great headway. The only previous death in the family was that of the eldest son, Mr William Smith, who died of typhoid fever in 1884, in Arnprior, where he was engage in the hardware business. Both parents survive, the father, Mr Wm Smith, having reached his 88th year. The funeral on Tuesday, notwithstanding that it was a wet day, was a very large one, testifying to the high esteem entertained for the deceased and his family. The funeral services were conducted by Rev Mr Watson, who is at present in charge of St Andrew's church. We join the community in tendering sympathy to the aged parents and their family.
