VANDALIsM.-lt is evident that the age
of demoniacal possession is not yet past
The wanton destruction of property to
satisfy the promptings of some malignant
spite, the marrng and detaciug process
which We see going on among us,cvidenced
in the Intentional injury to trees, fences,
buildings and the like, all prove the sa-
tanic agency too clearly to be denied
One Of the latest demonstrations of this
principle occurred on the night Of Sunday
week in Cornwall. Some scoundrel drove
the sharp edge of an axe into the head of
an OK belonging to Mr.. Charles Stevens,
and left the animal dead. The same night
n horse belonging to Mr.. Eli Stevens was
also wantonly killed. The author of such
mischief must be possessed Of the devil.

This bright aud active little boy alte,
IA week of intense suffering, was called
away leaving sense of loss in many
young hearts in the village where he
lived His early years were years o
illness and pain. But his parents haC
cause to hope that his health was al
