    Notes:

    DEATH OF MR. WM. PROUDFOOT

    We regret to announce the death of Wm. Proudfoot, of the township of Woolwich, after a lingering illness, from which he suffered for years. He always bore his sufferings with patience and Christian fortitude. He began life in Scotland as a laborer in the lime-kilns, where it is supposed he contracted a disease, which gave him more or less trouble during the whole of his lifetime, ultimately resulting in his death. He emigrated to Canada while yet a young man, settled on a farm in the township of Dumfries. A few years ago he sold out there and bought a large farm in the township of Woolwich. He was largely respected at a honest upright citizen, kind and affectionate in his family. He leaves behind him a wife and two daughters to mourn his loss. Deceased was in the 66th year of his age.

    Notes:

    Winterbourne.

    A dastardly attempt to injure a couple of inoffensive and respected young ladies in the neighborhood came to light a few days ago. We refer to the Misses Proudfoot, well and favorably known in this locality. About the first of May last Miss Mary Proudfoot while walking through their orchard discovered a stove wood stick for the presence of which she could in no wise account On further examination at hole was discovered containing about an ounce of ordinary gunpowder, said hole being carefully plugged up and some earth rubbed over the top of the plug to conceal it. The work had been skilfully performed and it is little less than marvellous that Miss Proudfoot discovered it before putting the stick in the stove. From the situation of the stick it was not at first appar ent whether it was intended for the Misses Proudfoot or for their tenant, Mr. Walter Veitch, who lives near them so they concluded at last to say nothing abont their discovery with the hope of getting some clue to the party or parties concerned in it. Nothing further happened to alarm them until the 16th of October when another and larger stick was discovered treated in the same way as the first and containing exactly two ounces or about double the quantity of powder found in the first one. This time there was no doubt as to whom the stick was intended for as it was found in a portion of the woodshed which had been partitioned off and used as a hen house by the Misses Proudfoot. The ladies now decided to inform the public of the facts of the case. It excited a great deal of indignation in the neighborhood as the Misses Proudfoot are highly respected and the fact that they are orphans and living alone makes the attempt to injure them all the more dia- bolical. No clue to the author or authors has been found and no motive for the act can be given as no one could profit by the attempt being successful and the motive of revenge seems out of the question altogether as the inoffensive and quiet character of the young ladies forbids the thought. that they have enemies who could desire to injure them from revengeful motives. It is certainly very mysterious
