Consider Severance, in the 69ih year Of his age.
Mr. Severance may he regarded as one Of the an
cient inhabitants ofhe town. There are but few
among ia who settled here before him, and
those few are rapidly passing away. He was born
in Greenfield Mass. Dec. III. He came 10 this
place and commenced business in 1892 almost half
a century ago. Since that time he has ever leen
known among us as n good citizen AMI ncg hbor,
"a man of great industry, of strict integrity and
exemplary life. About 1912, under the preach
ing of the Rev. Mr.. Haskell, his mind was deeply
and peculiarly impressed with a sense Of his own
sinfune>S and the Importance ofpcr>ona religion.
He then became hopeful subject of divine grace
and some years after united with the Congrega-
tiona Church in this place. From that time, it is
believed, he has adorned his profession. His ILL
ness (by pcur>y) was short, but painful The
arm in which he trusted ablln1anty supported him
and gave him peace. 'Thc ghteous hath hope in

SONG TO THE TUNE OF TIE OLD OAKEN BUCKET

Oh dear TO my soul are The days Of our glory,
The time honorcd days Of Our national pride,
When heroes and statesmen cnobled orr story,
And boldly the foes Of our country defied.
When victory hung DER our flag proudly waving,
And the battle was fought by the valiant and true
For our homes and our beloved ones Drawing,
Oh then stood the soldier Of Ilppccanoe.
The iron-armed soldier, the true hearted solder,
The gallant old soldier ofTippecanoe
When darl, was the tempest, and lowering DER us
The clouds of destruction seemed gathering fast,
Like ray of bright sun shine he stood ont beorc Ms,
And the clouds passed away with the hurryn~ bias,
When the Indians loud yell, and his tomahawk
flashing,
Spread terror around us, and hope was with few,
Oh then, through the ranks Of the enemy dashng
Sprang forth TO the rescue, old Tlppecanoe
The iron armed soldier, the true hearted soldier,
The gallant old soldier ofTippeconoc.
When the cannons were peang and brave men
were rcclmg
In the cold arms ofdeath from the fire Of the foe,
Where balls flew the thclest and blows fell the
quickest
in the front Of the hattie bold Harry did 80.
The force Of the enemy trembled before him,
And soon from the field OF his glory Withdrew,
And his warm hearted comrades IN triumph cried
DER him,
pOu plcsS Inc ibthQ SOulcT VI lppcCdnOc!
The iron-armed soldier, the true hearted soldier,
The gallant old soldier of Tippecanoe.
And now since the men have so long held the nation
Whotrampled our rights in their scOrn TO the grount
We will fill their cold hearts with new trepldation
And shout IN their ears this most terrible sound,
The people are coming reSlstess and fearless,
To sweep from the white house the reckless old crew
For the woes ofour land, since It's rulers earcs
We look for relief 10 old Tippecanoe
The IRON armed soldier, the trle-hearted soldier
The gallant old soldier Of Tippecanoe.
The people are coming from plain and from noun

To Join the brave band Of the honest and free,
Which grows, a. the stream from the leaf sheltered
fountain,
Spreads broad and more broad till it reaches the sea
No strength can restrain it, no force can refrain ii
Whatc'er may resist, II breaks gallantly through
And borne by its motion, as ship on the ocean
Speeds on in his glory old Tppccanoe,
The IRON armed soldier true hearted soldier,
The gallant old soldier Of T'precanoe.

THE LAW OF NEwspAPERs.--We
learn from the Boston Courier, that Judge
Williams, in late case before the Com
mon Pleas, laid down the law in relation
to question interesting to editors of
newspapers, as follows:
l. Where a subscriber to newspaper
orders it to be discontinued, and it con-
tinues to be left at his residence, the pre-
sumption is, in the absence of any evil
dence to the contrary, it is left by the
subscribers orders, and upon promise
to pay for it.
2. If a newspaper is left from day to
day for a person at his place of business,
with his knowledge and consent, though
without his express consent, and if he has
reason to believe that it is so left under
the belief, though mistaken one, that he
is a subscriber, and underline expectation
that he is to pay for it, in that case he
will be bound to pay for it, unless he gives
q notice to discontinue it.
