MR. F. J. BUNNY.

tt is with f?e?p regret that I- have to write < that Mr. Frederick J. Bunny, postmaster dhd telegraphist,' stationed at St. Baihajns, is dead._ He died on Saturday last,. at five p.m.J of tpyhoid fever. The telegraph department has, by "lis death, lost an active and most obliging young officer. Mr. F. 3. Bunny was the third aon of Mr. Hy.' Bunny, M.H ft. Nothing was left undone to save his life. Dr. Whitton attended him repented!) from Nasehy, but the disease had taken deep root, and was not to be checked. He was only 25 years of age, and was married but three months ngo. Great sympathy is felt for his young widow. Ylthough a comparative stranger in St. Bathans, Mr. Bunny was respected by all persons of every denomination. He always appeared as if he could not put himselfout too much, to serve any man, woman, or little child. On wider grounds still, he was a staunch friend of the people —never losing a chance to advocate and advance local co-ope-ration for general good by every means in his j power. The Rev. Father Walsh was in frequent at- | tendar.ee by the sick bed, and happily Was; present two hours before his death, when he administered the last rites of the Catholic Church.' He was buried on Sunday afternoon in the Catholic Cemetery., his remains being followed by over 100 persons, wfr>, at very short notice, attended from all parts of the district.
