The facts are these: dM marry the

never before married Il couple i'm Lake

ness in Lake county is done altogether
in "dicker''-as being asked what I
charged, replied that ] left that
to the party; to fix the amount of the
fee; mt which time | was informed that
he (bridcgroOm) would he over 20 Her.
sey soon, and would bring me some
provisions.
If this is the custom i'm Lake county
YOU must understand it. And so all |
could do was to divide the business
with YOU. The visit to Hcrscy has not
yet been made, and if you are sharp,
may he you can get some provisions
before IdO.
You had better not say anything
about this to "Charlie"-Editor of the
STAR-as that paper is lcaky, and Sc
ccrcts are not safe there.
If this order Is not acceptable, please
let me hear from you. Osccola county

Iife'S Sad EndiDv.

With sorrow we learn that join
Keefe, whom many of our readers will
remember as having been elected
Supervisor from Glencoe township, last
Spring, was found dead upon the plains,
about five miles from OBrien's camp,
north of here, about two week ago.
The corpse was almost entirely ma
ked, and had evidentaly lain there for
several weeks. How the unfortunate
man met his death will perhaps never
be known; although as he was addict
ed to drinking liquor, it is surmised
that he may have been endeavoring to
reach q lumber camp while under in
fiuence of liquor; became exhausted,
and perished from exposure to the in
tense cold of the early Winter. The
fact of his clothing being removed (all
except vest, we understand, may be
accounted for when one who has ever
witnessed wretched being laboring
under the awful touch ofdcliriun trc-
mems, remembers the wild agony en-
hibited.
OF course, we cannot say positively
that unfortunate John Keefe met his
death alone i'm the wilderness while
under the influence of that cursed dcs-
troyer of 50 much human happiness
strong drink; but Judging from the
past habits of the man, we find this
the most reasonable supposition. How
many, who if they could but take this
lesson directly home to their hearts
us would be the case ifa father, brother
or near relative had thus fallen-but |
would curse tho traffic which renders
such things possible? But in many
cases it is some poor friendlcss being
who in fit of drunken frenzy dies by
his own hand, or perhaps, worse still,
is found as poor John Keefe was. A
passing sensation is created;somc snccr
ut the weakness which could not keep
the appetite under control; some eX-
press sorrow for the sad ending of life,
and for the unhappy relatives, if any
there are; and the whole is soon almost
forgotten. Few, if any, who
are travelling, fast or slowly, the same
road with the one passed out of life be-
fore them, ever take the warning to
their very souls, and profit by its sad,
glooming teaching, till they work out
Il beautiful result in transforming their
lives into the peaceful path of sober
ness and virtue.
