geon, of Paw Paw, land theological student
from Aurora, by the name Of Libby assisted in
the solemn and interesting rite. The day was
cold. The leo was cut in the creek where the
water was about three feet deep, hymn was
sung, prayer said, and the candidates, one after
another, went down into the water. They were
all little boys and girls. They were eleven in
number. Boys under twelve years, and girls from
nine to thirteen. Five boys and six girls in all.
"Suffer little children to come unto me, and for.
bid them not seemed to me to possess peculiar
force at the time. Many Of these little children
thus early giving their tender hearts to the Lord,
are children of pious parents.
As I stood there near the waters edge, watch.
ing these little children going down into the wa
| ter, as their Savior did before them, and heard,
passing along the crowd of the thoughtless and
careless the remark that these little children did
not know what they were dong, or why they
were doing it, the thought Involuntary fore
ed itself upon my mind, that going as they were,
| they knew much more of what Christ would have
them to do to be saved, than the more intelligent
men or woman Of the thoughtless and unconvict-
ed standing by. To me, the scene was peculiarly
beautiful and significant. Of such as those little
children is the Kingdom of Heaven.
The dew.drop, to-day, trembles upon the petal
! of rose,-to-morrow it bears upon its bosom the
navies of an empire. To-day these little children
stand trembling at the very threshold of con.
| verted and religious life,-to-morrow they will
be, if faithful to the cause Of Christ, strong men
and women who will bear up, amid life's battles
the cross of Christ. Except ye become as little
children, ye cannot enter into the Kingdom Of
Heaven
In regard to the death of Ole J. Sorhang,-
account of which was given in the last issue Of
the FREE TRADER,-the jury Of inquest sum
| moned by Warren H. Norton, acting coroner,
| after patient investigation on Jan. Goth, came
| to the following verdict:
The jury of inquest finds from the evidence
that Ole j. Sorhang came to his death, on Jan.
10Th, A. d. 1870, in Earlville, by jumping from
| the Pacific express train while the same was
! under full Roadway.
The same jury passed the following rsso.
luton:
WHEREAS, The c. B. & @. r. r. Co. are in
| the habit of running their Pacific express train
| and other trains through the corporate town of
| Earvills at speed of from so to 90 miles per
hour, to the hazard of property and human life
And whereas, The trains pass and re-pass the
| two main thoroughfares of the town, where citi.
zens are constantly passing to and from market
| and places of business and little children are
| passing to and from schools
Now therefore, the trustees of the town OF
Earlville, in order in some measure to restrain
the prevailing disregard for human life, and &c.
carity Of property on this road, are requested to
pass an ordinance fixing the rate of speed, above
| which trains upon this road shall not pass
| through the corporate town of Earlville.
