Since our last issue a gentleman who has been long acquainted with the late Dr. Hume, has handed us the following obituary notice, which we gladly give place to in this number:- - "The late William Hume, M.D., was born in the Township of Esquesing, on the 14th day of January, 1830. He was the fourth son of James and Margaret Hume. His father was one of the first settlers in the Township and is a well-to-farmer, well known throughout this and a large portion of the neighboring Counties, and universally respected by his numerous acquaintances. The subject of our sketch received the first rudiments of his education from Mr. Wm. Colville, who taught the common school in the neighborhood of his father's residence, for several years. He finished his education in the common schools of the township, (the classics being then allowed to be taught in them.) I may here remark that the com. schools in that part of the Township have been justly celebrated for their excellency ever since their first establishment, and several young men, who are now members of the different learned professions, received in them the greater portion, if not all of their education.) While attending the common schools he was celebrated for the brilliance of his talents. He had a considerable knowledge of Latin and Greek. He was universally beloved by all his schoolmates. The writer first became acquainted with him whilst attending the Quatre Bras common school. He was then a very lively and active boy, about fifteen years of age, taking the lead in all the games and sports usual amongst schoolboys; in all of which he was the acknowledge champion. He commenced the study of his profession in the fall of 1847, at the Toronto School of Medicine, which he attended during three sessions. In the spring of 1850 when a little over twenty years of age, he received his license to practice. The University examiners, (Faculty of Medicine), allowed that he had passed the best examination that had been passed by any student for several years. He then went to Philadelphia and attended Jefferson college for one session, taking the degree of Doctor Medicine. He commenced the practice of his profession in the County of Haldimand, where he remained, having a very large and lucrative practice, for about five years. He removed to this town in October 1855, where he, in a short time, obtained a very extensive practice, which he held until his death. He was a very successful practitioner, and every one who employed him as their physician had almost unbounded confidence in his skill and ability. He was always kind and attentive to his patients, leaving nothing undone which he thought might assist in their recovery, frequently sitting up night after night with his patient when he considered the case a critical one. He was universally beloved and respected by his numerous acquaintances, more especially by those who had occasion to employ him in a professional capacity. He was a prominent member for the Reform party, and always took an active interest in its success. He never remained neutral during an political contest but always exerted himself strongly in favor of the Reform Candidate. Notwithstanding his active zeal in the Reform cause, he has many fast friends amongst Conservatives and none will regret more than they do his death at such an early age. His death is universally regretted, and leaves a blank not easily filled."
