    Notes:

    SIXTY YEARS MARRIED.-A somewhat usual family re-union was held at the residence of Mr. John Beattie, in this town, on Dominion day. The object of the gathering was to celebrate the sixtieth anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Francis Scott, of Seaforth. There were represented four generations. The aged couple were present, and were among the most blithe and cheerful of the party. All the surviving children of Mr. and Mrs, Scott were present. These are: Mrs. James Hogg, McKillop; Mrs. John Beattie, Seaforth; Mrs. E. Thynne, Chicago; Mrs. Dr. McDonald, Michigan; Dr. Scott, Robt. and Andrew Scott, Seaforth; George Scott, Toledo, and Francis Scott, Bluevale. There were also several sons and daughters-in-law, besides a host of grand and great-grand- children. Mrs. John Grieve, of McKillop, who is now 87 years of age, and who was bridesmaid for Mrs. Scott, was also in attendance, and is still hale and hearty. Mr. Scott is now 85, and Mrs. Scott 77 years of age. It is needless to say that it was a joyous, happy gathering. The services of Mr. Henderson, photographer, were brought into requisition, and a group photograph of the family, and also a photograph of the whole company, were taken. We are sure that Mr. and Mrs. Scott's many friends will unite with THE EXPOSITOR in congratulating them on this unusual and auspicious event, and in wishing them many more years of health and happiness, and that they may be permitted to spend many years yet together, a comfort to each other, and a joy to their numerous friends.

    Notes:

    JAMES G. SCOTT, M.D. Seaforth, Ont., was born on the 13th of February, 1842, at Galt, Waterloo County. He received his education at the public schools and Toronto Normal School. At the latter institution he obtained two Normal School certificates. After this he taught in the public school of Petrolia, in school section No. 6, McKillop township and in Oil Springs (Lambton County) public school, of which he was principal. In the latter place he commenced his professional studies with Dr. Savage. In the year 1867 he attended the University of Michigan and graduated with honors in the year 1869. After this he entered Victoria Medical College, Toronto, and graduated from this institution in 1870, and in the same year graduated from the College of Physicians and Surgeons. He then commenced the practice of his profession in the village of Bluevale, remaining there nearly four years. In 1874 he removed to Seaforth, where he continues to practice. Since settling here he has acquired a very large practice, the extent of which necessitated him, in 1891, associating as his partner Dr. Charles Mackay, whose portrait appears on the opposite page. Dr. Scott was married to Miss Elizabeth F. Rath on the 5th of February, 1873. He spent his early life on a farm, and still owns a farm, on which he has a deer park, and which he has stocked with thoroughbred cattle and horses. He is also a breeder of imported Shetland ponies and thoroughbred poultry. Dr. Scott has been a member of the Presbyterian Church for many years, and added to his already busy life is the position of a trustee of the Collegiate Institute, and for a number of years was a member of the Municipal Council. He is a member of A.F. & A.M. Alexandria Lodge No. 158, of A.O.U.W., Royal Templars of Temperance, and Ancient Order of Foresters. For a number of years he was treasurer of the Executive Court of the latter society, and is also medical examiner for several assurance companies.
