From Sunirt was found a case of heart failure as no water was found in the lungs. This was the only thing to mar the pleasure of the trip to Lakeview and it cast a gloom over the Burns delegation. Mr. Merrick was an estimable gentle man and as he was one of the Burns party, it was all the more deeply felt, and the sympathy of the entire community is ex tended to his family in their sud den loss and sad affliction.

The special committee appoint ed to look out for exhibits, help to gather them and visit the var ious sections of the county, has also been disappointed in iTbl getting a suitable representative to go out, but now have a gen tleman in view with overy pros pect of his takirig up the work next week and getting into tho field at once.
