DEATHS.


MlLLER-In Centre township, October 3lth, Er
nestus Clement, sou of John and Julia Mile
aged years, months and 10 days.
The summer sun shone brightly,
And flowers were in bloom
When death claimed our little Erny,
And laid him in the tomb.
Nppod like bud in sprlngtima
by n cold bllghting storm,
The lrail young flower was withCTed
And from earths bower torn.
Yet not as mortal blossoms,
Did Erny pass away,
Death only closed the petals
To ope' In endless day.
Much rs we miss our Erny,
We would not wish him back again;
But rather live so holy
That we may meet him there,
Erny thou artTone to rest,
Thine isa early tomb;
But Jesus summoned thee away,
T hy Savior called the home.

or course, duo and proper precaution
restricts personal visits. But physicians
and others whose professional and other
relations bring them in contact with
the sick and suffering will gladly avail
themselves of the remedial aid which
the furnishing of comforts will impart,
not only TO the actually diseased, but to
their families. People among whom a
contagious disease exists are double
sufferers. Their means Of support and
relief are cut off, and 10 the. grief of
sickness and sorrow are added the mis-.
cry and morti fication of avoidance by
their neighbors and others. In this field
charity has a scope almost unlimited.
On several annual returns of the
holidays the Ledger has advised
the utilizing of presents. The ame
suggestions are again in season. Some.
body wittily speaks Of the absurdity of
presenting ruflles and frills to a man
who has no shirt. Yet n great proper
tion of holiday presents come under
this useless category. Those who pur
pose-and nearly every one does so pur-
posc-to make presents at Christmas
and New Year, should take time TO
consider how they may turn the occas
ion to one of profit and real advantage.
Pretty trifles have their place, but
should not absorb too much OF the en-
thusiasm Of the holiday spirit. These
and other seasonable considerations
should be weighed at leisure before the
stores and streets are crowded with
nnrohnsArs

on Sunday morning last, at about 3
o'clock. Mr.. MURPHY and family
barely escaped with their lives, as they
We're only aroused by the neighbors
breaking in the door of his house when
the alarm was given. The insurance
VIII probably cover one half of the loss.
Mf. MURPHY saved all his papers,
so that his sureties for the collection of
taxes, &C., are harmless. The fire was
the work Of an incendisry, for coal.oil
was discovered on the plank walk
around the school house and thrown
against his house, so as to ignite the
fire, We are sorry to learn that Mr..
MuRPHY's back was sprained in his
EFFORTS to save his papers. The incen-
diary is supposed to be actuated by the
ulihculty lately taken place with the
school Board of that township. Mr..
MURPHY was teacher in the school
house destroyed by the fire.
