F.nally, the water was drained off by the breaking through - of the present channel of the r.ver•into.Lake Winnepeg.

State, however humble, however secluded ; lay upon it the laurel and rose ; plant above it the' flag for whose honor ho died, now the standard of a Nation, united , and prosperous. It is but a simple act, but the: spirit that prompts it is significant. _No elaborated monument, no 'bronze tablet records the heroic; deeds, the patri otic s rvices, the unselfish sacrifices of theire, at whose, graves we pay our floral tribute.

W4l that end in view, a com mittee was appointed ay Lieutenant-pen- Oral P. H. Sheridan. president of. the so ciety, which organized and proceeded to work, and it is with much pleasure that the committee announce that its efforts have area with such liberal res:ronse - from all parts of the country as to warrant the assurance that the work will be consum mated. The question now is, and to' you we Submit it, shall the statue be such an one as we can build with the-funds on hand, or will you come to ou► aid in such a man ner of to enable us to erect a work of art in size,,design, and workmanship In keep ing with the glorious name with 'Which it will forever be associated, as well as an ornament to, our already magnificent cap, ital city. It .is proposed that the work whin °completed.' shall, be no longer the :property of the !!society, but be formally transferred through their Chief Magis trate to theprople of the United States to be a monument of their affection for all En We therefore present : to you the oppor tunity to unite with us in the work, and thereby enable us-to make the structure in every respect worthy the name of Americu'iforemost people. To that end, we reque - st, that on the 30th instant, a day when all hearts turn it: love and grateful remembrance to . the soldiers of • the Re public, and we strew their graves with flowers, that a feature of that day shall be the offering and soliciting of contributions to the end set forth. But few can enjoy the privilege of placing a flower on his grave on De'cbration Day; but all can con tribute the icost of one, and thereby en able us to stimulate ,geniis and exhaust art in the endeavor to plant here a statue that will testify to. men of all time the great love the people bore him. It is the desire of the committee that this work be general; one in which all the people can take' part 'without feeling it to be a tax ; and it is therefore 'suggested that no coatrilnition from any one person on that day shall exceed one dollar. The press and, postmasters throughout the country will receive and forward sub scriptions ; or, if preferable, a committee of citizens may take charge of the- work under such plans as they mar deem most efficacious. Iu either case it Is desired, that a complete list..of-subscribers be kept, as all subseription liareq' . as well as copies of pa'4tra publishing the 'same, are de sired . for deposit in the corner-stone of the statue, and will be carefully : retained for that purpose.

During the same year he settled in Ghent, commenced hoitse-keeping in, as little log cabh there being but one acre: of hialand cleared, and nut a bOuse to be' seen. The surioundiug country was a dense forest, where aim are fine farms. pleasant homes. Notwithstanaing all these disadvantages, and the poverty of his early life, be was ever content and, happy, and by, perseverance and toil he accumulated muoli of this world's goods, and, best of ali t trinch : of that wealth that perisheth not; • . He departed this life, :!larch 22d, 1882, leaving the devoted wife a his youth and . four children, two 801319 and two daugh ters, to mourn the loss of a devoted hus band and altiud father, yet . not without hope, for they all are trusting in that same Jeans, in whom he flusted,,and ,are worthy menibers of - the same church. Brother Gillett was coverted in the year 1849, and united with the 11.. E. Church then composed of twenty-seven members, meeting for worship a little plank, school-house, near where now stands a beautiful church., Ho was always very much attached to the church, and was a faithful devoted Christian, always labor ing with a will attd - filling successfully many important positions in the church, ever wielding an influence that was sure to result . in good to the community. Nearly one-half of his life since his con- version be has been Superintendent of the Sunday School, and under his supervision a large and flourishing school has been, built' p. He has been class leader for the • past twenty-eight piars. May the• precepts :and examples be gave us lead us ou toward that land we -often heard him speak about, where the 3viekoil cease from troubling and the weary are - at rest: As a church we mourn,- for in him we have lost a wise counsellor and faithful member who 4 Joss . is severely felt. As a community we mourn _the loss of a so cial friend, a kind neighbor, a quiet, peaceable citizen. "Ghent, May - 15, 1882. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. Executrix of William Ward to George W.
