Leaves have their time to fall,
And flowers to wither at the north winds
breath.
And stars to set; but all,
Thou hast all seasons for thine own, Oh,
Death"
DIED-In this place, January 26, 1872. SA-
RAH NJ, wife of L. o. CASTLE, and daughter of
ALFRED and ELIzABETH DRIGGs, aged 22
years, 10 months and - days.
The sudden and unexpected death OF the
dear departed one, calls for passing tribute to
her memory. From her earliest infancy she
was loved and cherished by a large circle of
relatives and acquaintances, and to whom she
was devotedly attached Possessed of Il mind
of more than ordinary strength and culture she
seemed to see her pathway in life clearly de-
fined and steadfastly walked therein. To the
poor and the needy, the. sick and the afflicted,
she ever reached forth Il helping hand. But
from her modest and somewhat retiring man
nerS, it was within the homo circle and By her
immediate friends that she was most highly ap-
preciated. To them this afliction falls with
added severity. But they mourn not as those
without hope. Affections, though they seem
severe, in mercy oft are sent" Let us remcm-
Der that the ways of Providence are iuscruta-
bio and past finding out" that for some wise
purpose of His own, He has called the dear one
from our midst and whilst we shall no more
hear her sweet voice or her songs of joy and
gladness ascending to the "Giver of all good"
and though we speak of her as with the blest,
we can thank our God that we can feel as if the
white wings of an angel were passing to and
fro in our midst, guarding and protecting us
and the dear little he left motherless

COUSTY CORRESPONDENTS.
JANUARY 81, 1877!

JANUARY 81, 1872.
EDS. SPIRIT: | was pleased 10 notice
what you said, few weeks since, about
theimportance and duty Of patroniaing
home papers If we have paper in our
county, we must, of necessity, patronize
that paper. How can we learn the home
news, and keep posted in what is transpir-
ing all around US, better than from a well
conducted paper published in our midst !?
and how can that paper be made interest
ing and valuable, unless the people inter-
est themselves in it? and what better
proof Of their interest than regular sub
scriptions, and contributions of items
and facts of general interest?
We all like to hear Of the good crops,
fine stock, and general prosperity of our
farmers and all others from every part of
the county.
Wake up, correspondents and see if
you can't produce something worthy of
place in the SPIRIT. Send in the items
and not leave the editor to go out and
hunt up the material himself. Perhaps
some of you have something to say of
the prosperity of our schools, Or if they
are not prospering as they should, per-
haps an inquiry into the case might result
in good.
Can't something be said in favor of the
proposed changes in the school law?
Surely the prosperity of our schools
should be subject Of interest to all and
each one should be willing to do his part
in bringing them up to the desired stand
ard of excellence, ifthey have not already
reached it, Don't all speak at once.

This farm was advertised in the SPIRIT
for five weeks previous to the day of sale,
and furnishes the best evidence that per-
sons who have property for sale should
advertise and let the people know what
they have for sale.

AEThe reason why the subscription
to the SPIRIT is increasing SO rapidly is
because we print a paper to suit the peo'
pie. There was time when almost any
paper would satisfy the people, bat that
has passed away. We have a discrimi-
mating and educated people who read
and think for themselves. and unless a
paper comes up to what the intelligence
of the people demands it must fail.
