The death of Senator Morton removes one of the old landmarks of Republican ism from American politics. During the war his boldness and energy distinguished him even above the many energetic, capa- ble war governors of that stormy time. During the dark days of '62, when the war went against us, and when the cleo. tions went against us, he held Indiana firmly up to her duty. Afterward, 1n the era of Reconstruction he took most prominent part as Republican leader in the Senate. Of his later political history we are no admirer. As an advocate of the system of misgovernment and repres- sion which has heretofore been such & source of weakness to the Republican par ty, he did that party infinite harm; but of his patriotism and of his integrity there is no doubt, and one could not but admire the immense strength and energy of the man. even when misdirected.

The 4th of November was lovely day for one so late in the season, and an inter- esting one to the attendants of Christ's
 Church, North Canaan, as the Bishop of the Diocese was among them, and admin. istered the rite of Confirmation to eight persons. The Bishops charge to those confirmed was impressive, and the close
 very touching as he wished them all, in due season, ''garpered into the everlast. ing gamers, the house not made with hands, eternal in the Heavens. The ser mon by the Bishop was from the text ''Let man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread. and drink of that cup" He dwelt on the three great tests of Christian life; Repentance. Faith, Obe- dience, with Charity to all men. He was assisted in the services by the Rev. Elisha Whittlesey. the former Rector, and the
 Rev. MT. Body. the present one. (By the way, your type made the Rev. Mir. Bot,ly rot pf Christ's Church the able and efficient Rector.a into MT, Radly oi West Canaan. Will you please restore to Mir. Bodily his proper name and well de. served reputationf) e#

like Princeton and Cambridge trying and
striving for railroad, which we already

civilization; it has schoolN and churches
and good sneighborhoo plenty Of
things to make life pleasant. Third, it
has prairie and woodland;hay and water:
grazing and tillage land in great variety,
and all very cheap -Sherbslrne Co. Star.

be sure SherbCrne counsy offers many

Then again., the ricless agricu ltural

An Editorial Erutus.

An editor out West INDUCES in the fol
lowing talk to his subscribers and patrons.
The famous speech of Brutus, on the
death of Caesar, rendered by Shakespeare is
made to do service in this amusing t.'av-
esty: ~
Hear US for our debts, and get ready
that you may pay; trust us, we have need,
as youshave long been trusted; acknowl-
edge your Indebtedness, and dive
INTO your pockets, that you may
promptly fork over. If there be any among
you-oDe single patron-,that don't owe us
anything, then to him we say: Step aside,
consider yourself a gentleman. If the rest
wish to know why we dun them, this is our
answer: NOT that we care about ourselves,
but our creditors do. Would you rather
that we went to jail and you 60 free, than
that you pay your debts and keep us NOV
ing? AS we agreed, we have worked for
you; as we contracted, we have furnished
the paper to you; but as you don't pay we
dun you. Here are agreements for Job
work, contracts Neutrality-suspicious., promises
for long credit, and duns for deferred pay
