DEATH OF JoHs C. SPEScER-The Hon. John
c. Spencer, after lingering illness of many
months. died last night at his residence in this

prominent place in the political history of the
State during nearly half century He was
educated for the bar, and attained to the highest
rank IN that profession. Among the important
duties confded 10 him by the State were the
prosecution ofthe Morgan trials and subsequently
the revision of the Statutes In 1916, while resi-.
ding in Canandaigua. he was chosen to represent
the Ontario District in Congress, and at that time
served on the celebrated Bank Investigating Com
mittee. In 1919, he was sent to the Assembly,

of the affairs of Union College. In accurate legal
judgment, laborious industry and practical energy,
few Lawers have equaled and none surpassed him.
His disease of long standing. More
favorable symptoms had induced his friends to
hope that his health might admit Of a sea voyage
this spring. But shortly before the time appoin-
ted for departure it took adverse turn, since
when he has been sinking rapidly. He leaves

In tvventy-nine localities in nineteen counties OF

A SONG OF SPRING.
BIZ PARK BENJAMIN.

Love and spring were born together,
Twins of Nature, soft and fair;
Basking in the pleasant weather,
Sporting in the balmy air.
Music of the birds returning
From the faroff southern bowers,
Fills the heart with tender yearning
For the bliss that once was ours
When we sat and heard, enchanted,
Songs of fond romantic lore; E
And the fields and groves seemed haunted
With those fairies, famed of yore
Happy youth enjoy the season,
For thou too, art in thy spring;
Fancy is unchilled by reason,
Hopes are round the blossoming.
Let thine eyes, euraptured, ponder
All that skies aud waters bring;
All that nature joys 10 squander
In the yielding lap-of Spring.
Let thy heart the transport feeling,
Gratefully with love o'erhow;
Like a stream that long congealipg,
Nlelts now in the sunny glow.

WILD MEN OF B0RNE0.

Further towards the North are to be
found men living absolutely in a state of
nature who neither cultivate the ground
nor live IN huts; who neither eat rice nor
salt, Eor do they associate together, but
rove about some wood like wild beasts
The sexes meet in the jungles, or the man
carries away a woman from company =
When the children are old enough to shift
for themselves, they usually separate,
neither one afterwards thinking of the
other. AT night they sleeep under some
large tree, the branches of which hang
low. On them they fasten the children
in swing .
Around the tree they make fire to
keep off the wild beasts and snakes
They cover themselves with piece of
bark. and IN this, also. they wrap their
children. 1t is soft and warm, but will
not keep out the rain.
Those poor creaturs are looked upon
and treated by the Dayaks as wild beasts
Hunting parties of twenty five or thirty
90 out and amuse themselves with shoot
ing at the children In the trees with the
sumpsit, the same as monkeys, from which
they are not easily distinguished. The
men taken In these excursions are invari
ably killed, and the women commonly
spared, if they are young 1t is some
what remarkable that the children of these
wild people will not be sufficiently tanned
to be entrusted with their liberty Sol
gle told me he never recollected an in
stance when they did not escape the first
opportunity, notwithstanding many of
them had been treated kindly for years
The consequence is, all the chiefs that call
themselves civilized. no sooner take them
than they cut off the foot, sticking tho
stump In a bamboo of molten damar
their escape is thus prevented, and their
services In padding canoes retained An
old Dayak loves to dwell upon his success
on those hunting excursions and the ter
ror of the women and children when ia
ken, affords a fruitful theme Of amuse-
ment at their meetings.
The following additional particulars is,
however, somewhat unexpected. After
speaking of the excellence of the iron and
steel of the interior of Borneo, and of the
extent of its manufacture among the Da
yak tribes. Dalton continues
= Those men whom | have noticed liv
ing in state of nature, building no hab
itations of any kind, and eating nothing
but fruits, snakes and monkeys, yet pro-
cure this excellent iron. and make blades
sought after by every Dayak who in
their hunting excursions, have IN view the
poor creaturs spear, or mandon, as much
as his head, improbable as it may appear.
