1t Is with many sigh OF regret that we are
called upon to announce the death OF Mr..
Caspar Durham, of this town. The deceased
was born in Orleans county, New York, Oct
10, 1921. ~ While yet quite young he removed
to Jackson county, this State, where he re-
sided for several years, and is said to have
been the first man to paint house in the
present city OF Albion. He subsequently re-
moved with his mother and her family 10
Eaton county, where he assisted in clearing q
farm and preparing a comfortable home for
his mother. He was for short time engaged
IN boating on the Grand river. from its month
to Grand Rapids. In 1916 he followed the
tide OF emigration to the Pacific coast and
settled in Oregon. From here he went to
Washington Territory and while there became
the first sheriff of that territory. He was
shipwrecked on his return and lost the profits
OF his labors in the West.
Returning to Michigan he lived on the old
farm in Eaton county. He was shortly after
wards married to Miss Jane q. Green, Of
Charlotte, and moved to this. county in 1861,
where he has since been engaged in retaining
the forests from their native state and sup
porting his family. In 1864 he enlisted and
served in the Union army until the close Of the
war. While there, through hardships and de-
privation, he contracted the disease which ter
minated his useful career Dec. IL, 1876. He
leaves a wife and five children, all girls. As q
quiet agriculturist we feel that he has done
much good, in his modest manner, and that he
is free from those sins which must attend
many Of his fellow creatures in the more
that in his death his neighbors lose a wise and
benevolent friend, his friends valuable rela-
tive, society an ornament, his children . kid
and indulgent parent, aud his wife consoling
and ever-lovIpg husband, We would not mourn
that 1t is the will OF God, and nature, that
these mortal bodies be laid aside when the soul
is to enter into real life. That bodies should
be lent us whileII they can afford rs pleasure,
assist in acquiring knowledge, or doing good
to our fellow-creatures. 10 . kind and benevo-
lent act Of God. When they become unfit for
these purposes, and afford US pain instead OF
pleasure, and answer none OF the intentions
for which they were given it is equally kind
and benevolent that a way is provided by
which we may get rid o. them.
Death is Gods way. We are ali invited
abroad, on a party OF pleasure that is to last
forever. His char was ready first and he has
gone to occupy it We could not all start to-
gether and our friend whose name will ever
live to be loved by all who knew him. has gone
on, and we shall know where to find him.

A yankee school-marm daily
Presided Ger her flock;
And faithfully their lessons
Timed By the village clock. 10.
Der discipline was perfect.
Each rule enforced with care up
But not with rod or ferule-
Love dominated there.
Youths harmless love of frolic
An engine was of pow'r;
Shared with hearty kindness.
In recreation hour. n
No Gliding harsh was needed, ..,.
The merry rogues were wise;
And measured their obedience
by their kind teachers eyes.
No abject fear was ever
Permitted in the place;
Affection was the mistress,
And ruled with tender grace
In session time, gum-chewing.
Or eating aught, they knew
Most strictly was forbidden;
And that they must not do.
But little Amy Waters,
The pet Of all the school,.
One warm, sleepy afternoon
Sat chewing very cool.
This the wary teacher noticed,
And, to the thoughtless girl
Said, dear, what are you eating
While she stro1ed back curl
Bushes ran through the dimples
In chin and peachy cheek
And silken fringes lifted,
From eyes sky blue and meek.
The teachers filled with softness.
Though striving to look grave.
As once again she questioned.
Her cherished rule to save.
With slightly nervous action.
Rosebud lips slowly part;
Aud, ''eating satisfaction
Is sobbed from grieved heart
No single word reproving,
Disturbed the sinless one
What soul with mercy moving
Could otherwise have done !:
meaning sasafras.

Much is being said just in criticism OF alleged

in consequence.
The whole can be stated in a few words Just

edge OF all the penalties, violated certain sections Of
the shipping awsections that have been passed upon
and clearly defined by the United States courts

The remedy against any further Inconvenience OF
