Suddenly While Hitching His Horse.The public generally were shocked to learn on Saturday afternoon that Mr.John Hark ness had died suddenly while hitching up his horse in the Albion Hotel stables.But a few minutes before the report of his death lie was talking to some of his old acquaintances, and there was nothing to indicate about his apfiearauce or bearing that the cord would be so suddenly brokeu.It was about half past two in the afternoon when a farmer, who was hitching up his horse in the stable, ran out into the yard and stated that he believed Mr.Harkness had dropped dead.On reacning the spot it was found that his words were only too true, as life was tin n extinct.Medical aid was called but was of no avail.The body was afterwards removed to his home in East Sherbrooke.Mr.Harkness was well-known in Sherbrooke and district, and was highly respected by all wh > knew him.The late Mr.Harkness was born in Raw'den, Que., about seventy years ago He moved from that place to Compton in 1853 where he engaged in larming In 1857 he came to Sherbrooke, where he kept that hotel now known as the Ame rican House.Remaining in this business for but a few years, he started up a livery stable on Rank Street, and continued in that business until about 19 years ago, when he devoted his attention ex clusively to the farm in East Sherbrooke known as the E.t^t Suer-brooke Race course.It was on this course that the racing took place prior to the opening of the exhibition.He retained the farm until about two years ago when he sold out and moved to a property which he had acquired on Bowen Avenue.He was a great lover of horses and was looked upon as one of the best judges in this district.He was married in 1857 to Marauda Hyatt, eldest daughter of the late Abraham Hyatt of Milby, who died about ten years ago.lie married a second time to Miss Ansell, sister of Mr.F.T.Ansell, druggist, by whom he is survived, and he also leaves an only son, Mr.Geo.Hark ness, commercial traveller, by his first wife.The late Mr.Harkness had five brothers and 4ix or seven sisters, all of whom, with but one exception, have predeceased him | Mr.Harkness was a member oi the Canadian Order of Foresters a id « f Victor a Lodge, A.F.Sc A.M He was highly respected, and his death removes a familar figure from our streets.The funeral took place this afternoon from his late residence on Bowen Avenue to the Church of the Advent, and thence to the Episcopal Cemetery.The mem hers ot the Masonic Order attend ed in a body and conducted a service at the house and grave.Wants His Thousand Dollars Back.What is likely the last phrase of the recent election contest in Stan-stead county came before the Superior court on Friday.When Mr.Lovell's election was contested it was necessary for the petitioner to make a deposit of one thousand dollars as security for costs.By a judgment rendered on the 15th of March last the petition was dis charged and declared to be extinct, but the petitioner has never got back his deposit.A petition was p»«‘s.*nted to Mr.Justice Lemieux Friday morning, asking for an order by whicn the money deposited will be paid over.Rtyf« need not
