A correspondent sends a lengthy sketch of the late William THOMPSON of Argyle who died 2nd inst., age 70 years. Mr. Thompson was born in Toraton, Nothumberland County, England in 1822 and when a young man came out to this country with his father and three brothers, settling in Johnston (Queens Co.) where he married Isabella ARMSTRONG by whom he had two children, James Walter THOMPSON and Janet Ann THOMPSON. In 1866, with his wife and family, he moved to East Glassville (Carleton Co.) and engaged in farming. Mr. Thomas was universally esteemed for his strength of character, his freedom from bigotry and his upward walk through life. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church, an enthusiast in Sunday school work and was for nearly 40 years a member of the Loyal Orange order. The funeral services at the house and grave were conducted by Rev. Beairsto. Members of British Lion L.O.L., of which he had been many years master, joined the cortege in full regalia.
