THE DEATH OF COL. FOSTER.

The sudden decease Of Hon. Asa
Belknap Foster, in the midst of excit-
ing controversies, has carried sadness
beyond the mere circle Of his adher-
ents and friends, large as it was, for it
is a reminder to friend and foe alike
that Death waits for no man and con-
siders no event. 1t seems that he had
arrived at the OttaVa Hotel, Montre-
al, i'll the evening Of Wednesday, from
the scene Of the troubles on the South
eastern railway, and was engaged dur
ing the evening in consulting with his
friends. He complained of having
eaten too much supper, which aggra-
waited heart difficulty Of long stand
ing, and his son, A. B. Foster, Jr.,
gave him some ginger tea and hot eX-
ternal applications. Feeling better
about midnight, he fell asleep and his
friends took their leave, save his son.
About 3 a. m. he expressed fear of
having another attack, but again fell
asleep. About A his breathing be-
came stertorous and his son called help
and sent for physician, but before
they arrived he was dead. The next
day his remains were taken to Water
loo, his home, for funeral and inter
ment. His age was 62, and he leaves
a widow, five daughters and two sons,
one of the later, Mr.. Charles w. Fos-
ter, being well known in St. Adams,
having married daughter of Hon.
Bradley Barlow and been engaged here
in mercantile pursuits.
We have not the data at hand for
properly sketching the career of the
deceased. He began life in humble
circumstances, but by shrewdness and
energy in business acquired property,
credit and local distinction. With
these advantages he embarked in rail
road building, and several lines in
Canada owe their construction to his
enterprise and sagacity. After build
ing the Stanstead, Shefford & Cham
bly,, he retired for several years. living
in elegant ease, but at the same time

ING Of this wonderful machine, thought
he would try it, it was $50 nice.
Without the aid Of fire or water, and
with the permission Of Mr.. r., he
quickly adjusted the strap under his
arms. then looking down on the crowd
below, with a smile, and gesturing
with all the airs Of a gymnast, COM
menced his perilous descent. Scarce
" had he reached the third story win
dow when the strap commenced TO
give. and to his surprise the buckle
tore the leather from loop to leop.
As we gazed upon him in this perilous
position the change in his countenance
reminded us of Hank White in the
ghost-sceae, when his hair stands up
like a porcupines, and burnt cork falls
off with fright. We cannot say how
much this young man was frightened,
but as he landed safely on the ground,
we heard one of his comrades exclaim,
%, musha, musha, Martin, you divil,
you're as pale as a ghost Martin
says he wouldn't try that fire escape
again, if he got the Weldon House for
doing it.-AdUertiSer.

A MORMON NOVEL.

We have been shown the manuscript
of novel called Triumphs of True
Saint, written by a young Mormon,
who is firm believer in all the doc
trines and dogmas Of the "Latter-Day
Saints" 1t is quite a curiosity in its
way. In the first chapter the hero,
Orson Porter Hyde Smoot, falls in
love with and marries pretty girl of
"sixteen summers" the daughter Of a
bishop.
Chapter 10. p. II. Smoot goes
counting his wife's ''fayorite and we'll
beloved" cousin. After a short but
sharp seige another heart yields to his
eloquent pleadings. and he marries his
"adored Elizabeth Jane" During his
honeymoon his coup Of joy is filed al

Chapter IV.-O. p. II. 5. sees an
"angelic creature" on Sunday in the
tabernacle, and falls "madly in love
with her." He dons his counting raj
ment and goes for her. Soon blush
ingly she yields to the experienced
wooeTs soft persuasions-in short
words "throws up the sponge" Her
mother is a widow and poor; she takes
up her residence with her daughters
husband. Then come trials and trib-
ulations. But the True Saint tri-
umphs. He settles the hash Of the
mother-in-law by making her his wife.
There is nothing said about love in
connection with this marriage. 1t ap-
pears to have been thrown in merely
for the purpose Of sho owing the hero's
shrewdness in business matters.
Chapter V.-FOur children are born
to o. Z. II. S. in one week-two boys
and two girls-the mother-in-law be-
ing delivered Of twins. Things being
thus prosperous at home, the hero
goes abroad on counting tour. He
