Funeral of Edward Kent Kollock.

The remains of this young man, who died of
a disease contracted while in the military ser
vice of his country, were borne to the grave in
Saccarappa village, on Tuesday afternoon last.
The attendance at the funeral was quite large,
and the services were solemn and impressive.
Rev. Mr.. Pottle of the Methodist Church read
select passages of Scripture, and offered re-
marks eulogistic of the character of the de-
ceased, and these were followed by fervent
prayer by Rev. Mr.. Danielson of the Congre-
gational Church.
On Monday evening at a meeting of the
Saccarappa Temperance Association the fol-
lowing preamble and resolution were unani-
mously adopted, and vote was passed direct
ing that the same, signed by the officers of the
society be conveyed to the family of the de-
Whereas, This Society has learned of the
recent death Of their fellow citizen, Edward
Kent Kollock, it is therefore
Res6Iued, That we have ever regarded Mr..
Kollock as young man of strict integrity,
genial disposition, generous impulses, patriotic
aims, and Christian principles, and as hearty
friend to the cause of Temperance; that we
mourn his early departure, and that we ten
der to the widowed mother and the surviving
brother and sisters OF the deceased our deepest
sympathy in their sad bereavement.

J 1t is a startling fact, that human life is
3horter in New England with the existing gen
erations, than it was in the last century. There
Ire diseases amongst US which were hardly
known then, and which bring thousands every
year to a premature grave. What is the cause
Of this notable evil? Has our climate essen
TALLY changed? No-unless it be for the bet
ser. OurMinters are net so severe, and our
summers are more genial than they were be-
fore the Revolution. The cause, doubtless, is
o be found in the corrupting fashions of the
dmes which, with rigorous fatality, dictate
Shefood and dress Of people, and which make
.dleness condition of responsibility, and hon
est, sturdy industry shame. We deprecate
nose ia hions that are rapidly leading our
yeop!e to those excuses which have proved the
ruin of other and earlier nations. 1t is high
lme that this subject was taken seriously IN
land and looked thoroughly into by the con-
'ervators Of public good, with at least as much
soicitudc and care as our politicians look for
Che causes Of party success. ALOaF
In olden times-in the days of the Revolu-
zion, when sons worked willingly in the for
ssts and in the fields, and partook of the sim
pie but substantial fare of their own farm !;
when daughters wore thick-soled shoes, loose
;oWns, and iabored, with cheerful song, at the
pinning- wheel, leon and wash-tub, such dis
eases as consumption, and dyspepsia were sell
dom or never known. These came as the con-
comitants Of a republican extravaganza Doc
tors were rare acquaintance then. But now.
if a young man would be respectable, he must
carry green bag to Court, rather than meal
bag to mill; he must WELD yard stick rather
than hoe or shovel handle; and as for young
ladies' alas it would soil their lily hands and
bean irreparable disgrace to be seen cleaning
house or beeaught alta wash-tub. Their shoes
must be Of kid, thin as waters; their chests
must be pent up in eoTsets as tightly as a
Chinese foot, and their time must be spent in
spinning street yarn, drumming the piano9olte
or discoursing sentimental songs. All these
fashions are hostile to the laws Of health and
are prejudcial to human life. Oh, that Fashion
would ever take directions from Reason, and
invent those, and only those new modes of liv-
ing and styles OF dress, which have utility for
their basis. Then might we hope in time to
see the tables of longevity extended. and the
people would enjoy an amount of health and
comfort which are now too willingly sacrificed

Publisher. yfi
MIR. Carleton, vino here figures in the double
role Of author and publisher, was sent to Cuba
for the benefit of his health, and lounging
there, the most unoccupied, but not unobserv-
ant Of idlers, employed bis facile pencil in put
ting on paper some of the sights which are pre-
ssatsd to the eye of the traveller in the Queen
of tae Antilles" OF these pictures the artist
very modestly says, "Their only merit, perhaps,
is their faithfulness to nature. Though chiefly
caricatures, they represent such incidents and
scenes as every one, with both eyes open, sees
who visits Cuba; and being sketched upon the
spot, with all the crispy freshness of first inn
preston, they possess sort Of Photographic
value, that, in spite Of their grotesqueness, may
prove more lasting than the entertainment
which their hunor offers" e
These pictures are only etched with ink in a
notebook, yet they areso full Of rollioking fun,
so characteristic of the warm, easy life of the
tropics, that they are better than whole vol
umes of description. They are finely printed,
on toned paper, and bound with exquisite neat
ness. No more choice and dainty morsel has
been lately offered to the public taste than this
elegant and attractive volume.

were attended at the Methodist church on

masonic brethren, and a large circle of friends,

therefore lacked but a fortnight of being Sc

and where he died Sept. 2oth. Mr.. Goodins
was the son of Richard Gooding, and a
descendant in the fourth degree from Jane
Gooding, one of the early settlers of the town,
Who came here from Boston, and for many
years pursued successfully the occupation of a
ship builder. He lived in story and a hall
house at the foot of India street, near which
was bis ship yard; he was born in 1898, and
lied in 1870. His son James, born in 1922,

In 1776 he married Dorcas Bayley, the moth
