Mr. McGillivray was a very old timer in the west, and was well known throughout the Saskatchewan valley during the ‘70's. He was born in the Hudson’s Bay department of Montreal about 80 years ago. His father was a prominent officer in the old North-West Company, and his grandfather was one of the principal men in that com pany. The deceased entered the service of the Hudson’s Bay Company at an early age, and was first employed in the posts on the Sangeway, then he came to Cumberland on the Saskatchewan, then to Peace river, and then to Lesser Slave lake. While at Slave lake he married Mrs. Rowland, daughter of Simon Fraser, and sister of H. Fraser, of the H. 13. Co., at Edmonton. He left Slave lake and retired from the H. B. service in 1873. He then settled at Victoria, where he bought a property and engaged in trad ing in a small way. When he left the Com pany’s service, he was possessed of ample means, but by too great liberality and care less management consequent. On failing powers, his means were spent, so that he came to be in very reduced circumstances. Some four years ago his lower limbs became paralyzed, rendering him entirely helpless. For the past three years he has been taken care of by the Catholic mission at St. Albert, where he died. He was a very active man in his time, an excellent trader, well in formed and a good conversationalist, and his mind and eye sight were unimpaired to the last. ‘The funeral takes place at 10 o'clock tomorrow at the Roman Catholic cemetery, St. Albert,
