The coffin was plain one-a poor
miserable pine coffin. No flowers on
It's top, no lining of rosewhite satin,
for the pale brow; no smooth ribbons
about the coarse shroud. The brown
hair was laid decently back but there
beneath the chin. The sufferer from
cruel poverty smiled in her sleep; she
had found bread, rest and health.

In Justice Jeck's Office, yesterday
evening, an amusing matrimonial in
cident occurred. The Justice received
notification that his services would be
required to unite in bonds of wedlock
two youthful lovers. He consequently
remained after business hours; thegas
was lighted and all the necessary
preparations were made. After watt
ing some time young man. aeeompa a,i llIt
MED by a yelled female, was seen out
side! = They appeared to.iesitate sotne-
what about coming in, and constable
Beger, ever ready to facilitate such
matters, stepped out and invited them
in. The lady still held back and said
there were 100 many men in there!"
This objection was removed by the
Justice ordering several deputies who
were present to leave, and, when they
companion entered. A conversation
took iplace with the Justice, when, to the
astonishment OF her companion,
IL appeared that the girl did not
want to get married just yet.
She said the man was sin liquor, and
that she wanted to see her motner nTSti
Herloyer expo and vowed he
was as sober as a Judge, which was evil
IDENTIFY the case. The lady, however,
finally declared that she .wouidnb be
married that night, and the parties left
the office. lin about ten minutes they
returned. Lady still lgreluctant, but
overcome by the moral suasion OF her
lover. The Justice put. the usual ques-
tions which were answered. Then came
the question as to her age. She de-
cTared she didn't know. Was she
eighteen?f p asked the Justice. She
couldn't tell; would have 10 ask her
mother. This kind ofhesitation aroused
the impatience of the Justlce and he
said he, would not perform the cere-
mony, and the young people went away
evidently dlscomtited. sPfesen ntly. they
returned: they young woman ap.
preached the Justice and whispered
that she mad made mistake, that she
was over thirty and asked that the GER
emony proceed. But it was now the
turn Of the Justice to be obstinate. and
he refused TO marry them at all. In
vain the woman extreated. The JUS
tice was inexOrable. She said IL they
were not married that night they never
would be, still the Justice refused, and
finally the disconsolate lovers left the
office to look for some one else to make
them one flesh according to law.

CRor STATISTICS WANrED..-.As
there were a great many varieties OF
wheat sown in this District last Fall, it
has been suggested TO us that a benefit
to the farming community might be
obtained by comparison Of the crops
made from each kind Of seed. Such a
comparison, published, would enable
farmers to decide upon the quality OF
different varieties and would also show
which variety is best adapted to any
particular soil. We arc willing to give
our assistanc, 20 the project, and invite
from those who would like to see the
matter tested, tho following statistics
lst. Kind Of seed sown.
I'd. Quantity sown to the acre.
Sd. Character Of soil used.
4tll. Name Of fertilizer used, if any.
5lh. Quantity Of fertilizer to the
acre.
9th. Number Of bushels gathered to
the aero.
IF such statistics are handed us soon
after harvest, in sufficient numbers tc
justify 1t, we will endeavor to get up a
tabular statement comprising the aver.
age yield of each variety.
