Corporal Punishment.

Corporal punishment in schools may
sometimes be necessary-rarely, | think.
We are in the habit Of Boosting Of the
progress of our age. Uncultivated and
unbleached Americans have been invested
with the ballot, positions in the bar, the
bench, legislative halls and the senate.
The drunken rufian is no longer called a
criminal, but victim and martyr. A
sickly humanitarianism is rapidly displac-
ing the sturdy christianity of our fathers.
Societies for the prevention of cruelty 70
animals are sustained by municipal au-
thority, but no Berghs appear to defend
the little children from cruelty. BY the
operation of our admirable common school
system, children of semi-civiized and
freshly imported barbarians, whose only
family discipline consists of kicks and
cuffs, are placed together with those OF
the refined christian home, where the law
of love is the rule of obedience, and all
governed by the same iron clad rules.
Children unless very stupid, are nat
urally vivacious, and will sometimes, not
designedly, bu, Inadvertently violate a
rule against whispering, and yet for this
trivial offence delicate children less than
eight years of age have been severely
beaten with hand wood ferrule which is
heavy enough, with skillfully directed
blow, to fell man to the earth.
Is it desirable that such a barbarous
system should continue, or will it be nee
essary to test its legality by an appeal to
the l. A W.

Death of Rev. Ebenezer IL. Squier of
Scipio.

DIKp-At the Parsonage Of the Presbyterian
Church in Scipio Of congestion Of the lungs, after
two weeks illness, at e o'clock r. NJ, on Friday
March 4th, 1870 Rev. Ebenezer Harvey Squier,
Pastor Of the Church, aged GO years and nine
months.
Mr. Squier was born in Rutland, w.,
May 9th, 1909, and was a grandson Of
Rev. Eleazer Harwood, the first pastor Of
the Congregational church in Pittslord,
Vt. He was graduated at Middlebury
College in 1888. He taught at Fort Cow
ington, N. Y, two years, and was gradual
ted at Andover Theological Seminary in
lS43. He was pastor of the Congrega-
tional church in Hartland, w., 18Th
1852; at Lewis, n. Y, lS52-lS5I ; at
Weybridge, VT, 1S54-lS5s; at High
gate, w., lS5S-lS64 resided one year
at Middlebury, VT. came to Scipio Nov
1866, and became pastor of the
church three years ago. He has thu
been pastor twenty-three years. His
funeral will be attended on Monday, at
the parsonage at 10 and at the church at
IL o'clock A. NJ. Mr.. Squier was an earn
est, sound and faithful preacher and en-
deavored to declare unto his people the
whole counsel of God He took much
pains with his sermons, and was accoun-
ted by his. flock an instructive and affcc-
tionate preacher He was one year ago
the Moderator of the Presbytcry of Cay
uga and discharged the duties of the Office
with care and appropriateness. Tie
was felicitous, comprehensive and earnest
in prayer. Two years ago he was pros
trated by an alarming attack from which
he but slowly recovered From his death
bed he sent to his clerical brethren in the
ministry his desires for Gods richest
blessings upon them. His church lay
near his heart. He suffered excessively
in his last sickness and was delirious most
of the time.
He said but little even to his own fam
ily, vet he remembered his church anC
people, and near the last broke out j.
prayer for them, "Oh! Lord bless thi
people. Let thy Spirit come to them.
And again, speaking as if to the sheph
erds of the flock, Take care of tn,
church. Feed the sheep, feed the lambs.
He repeatedly expressed his confidence il
Christ, and said that Jesus was his sur
and sufficient support.
Thus has passed away one who was vii
ling to make much unobtrusive effort an
bear much patient self-denial in orde
that he might preach "the glorious gospe
of the blessed God" He has not live
in vain. He leaves a wife aud tire
children, and bereaved Church an
community to mourn his ioss.-Aubur

Obituary.

For the RkdIsrrG
Mr.. EDITOR Il send you few lines
in memory of one Of the early pioneers
of this town
Mrs. lrena Doud, recently deceased,
was the last survivor Of the first genera
ton of this place. She was born in
Meriden. Conn, Aug. l710, and died
Feb Goth, 1870, being therefore at the
time of her death little over 90 years
and 6 months Of age, the Oldest person it
is believed in the county. Her maiden
name was Scovil. She was five years
old when the battle of Bunker Hill was
fought, six at the signing Of the Declara-
ton Of Independence, and thirteen when
peace was declared at the close of the
Revoluton-often referring in her later
years to the general expression of joy at
that event.
AT Il years Of age she removed to
this town, and was married the succeed
ing year to Silas Doud, one of five broth
ers who came from Ferringham, Mass,
and all occupied farms in that part of the
town known as Town Hill She resided
for seventy-three consecutive years on
the same farm, and was the mother often
children. Her blood has flowed in the
veins of seventy descendants, she having
lived to see the fourth generation.
Mrs. Doud, although possessing like
many of our early settlers only the rudi-
ments of an education, had those desira-
BILE qualifications of sound common sense
and largeness Of heart. Time dealt very
kindly with her, and her last years were
peaceful and happy. She was rcmarka-
BILE for her vivacity and cheerfulness, evci
manifesting the warmcst feelings of re-
gard for all her numerous friends and ac
quantances Mrs. Doud had been fol
scores of years faithful and devout fol
lower of her Redeemer, and patiently
awaited the appointed time when sh'
might 60 to her brighter home where The
young never grow old and the ties o
Friendship are never sundered L. a. u.

The result of New Hampshire election

The result of New Hampshire election
is all we could have hoped for. Gov.
Stearns is reelected by 1900 majority,
with Legislature strongly Republican
in both branches, which will return n
Republican U. s. Senator to Congress
Gen. Donahoe, democrat, who is personally
popular and took some soldiers votes, is
probably elected Railroad Commissioner
by a small majority. The figures show
that the mass of the democrats stood by
their candidate for Governor, the labor
reform ticket drawing off but little o.
yer third of the vote; while the straight
temperance ticket pellcd less than 1900
votes. 1t was hard fight, and the Re-
pubicans of the Granite State have done
nobly. In spite of formidable combina.
tons without and divisions with their
party, they stood squarely to the fight,
and their victory is really greater one
than those of former years when they
elected their men by larger majorities.

Senators to strike the Bingham amend
ment from the Georgia bill in the Senate.
Gen Quesada's interview with leading

rooms at the Capitol Wednesday morning
was very satisfactory. The General
does not speak English, but his remarks
were interpreted by two of his staff Off

merous questions He asserts that the

CONDITION OF THE FRENCH CANADIANS.
The Montreal Witness remarks:
ave learn from a French Canadian
colporteur who goes much among the
habitants, that they are greatly discour-
aged by the present low prices, and that
a great many wish to sell their farms but
no one desires to buy. Most of the young
folks 60 off to the States as they grow up,
leaving the father and mother and small
children to work the farm, which, of
course, they can only do very partially,
and the country suffers greatly in conse.
quence. Many tried a few years ago to
raise beets, carrots, &C., but they have
given it up, as they find potatoes easier
cultivated and more valuable, and prefer
to feed animals on hay and grain, which
are still more easily raised and still better
for them. In fact they cannot grow any
crop that requires extra labor, as there is
not enough of labor left on the farms for
the easiest crops,which are hay ,pasturage
and grain. The young men 60 off because
they can do nothing at home Throughout,
the long winter, except eat what they
raised in summer. Our informant finds
it very difficult to sell or lend the Scrip.

Canadians are too poor to subscribe fol
