fessed to having stolen his own broth

peared in Mexico with a fine saddle
horse, which he sold to J. Mcdonald,
since that time Dr., Evans, of Boone
vile, has visited Mexico and identi-
fed the horse as the one stolen from
him. All this appears suspicious.
IL Hite is q rascal, he is also a con-
sqmate h~ypocrite, for he has aprofes-
sion of christianity, wore long faces.

almost ceased to be appalling. To

To-morrew it may claim one whose
industry, energy, attainment and as

with man and earthly destiny does
not allow m regrets when one dies
whom we had known for many years,
whose tenderness, attention and SYM
pathies had endeared her to many
and whose young life gave bright
promise Of future usefulness.
Miss Clark was cut down in the
morning of life. Her demise, although
sudden, was not unexpected. Sew

death marked her as his choice. 8
About three years ago she united
