Almost everyone in this neizliborhood knows Mr. Wm. Doeg. _In 1878 Mr. Doeg moved from the townshki of Osprey, in Grey Country, to Lot 18 in the thirteenth concession of Strong Township. He has since made many friends, and all who know liim speak of him in the highest

I gradually grewjworse and worse till for the last four years he has beena com firmel invalid, and as a conseguence has not been seen in town stall.

From his back it would A lometimes move toother parts of his body. His knees were feqrhllv painful at times. The truth is, that *for i-our long years the poor man did not have a single moment’s
