Our little village begibs to show activity
10 the potato trade, considerable quantities
beng shipped weekly for the market. The
price is indeed low in comparison with that
of last year. Said wag to one of our
farmers tho other day: You made mis-
take in fighting the beetle; if you had let
him alone you might have sold your pota-
toes for so cents instead of % cents a
bushel. don't know about that said the
farmer-suppose the bug had eaten the
whole crop. The potatoes are for the most
part unusually fine and of excellent quality.
On Tuesday the 2lst instant, large
number of friends and relatives. attended the
funeral of Capt. Wells, at the church of the
Disciples. The services were conducted
by the Rev, Mr.. Lobengier of West Rupert,
assisted by the Rev. Mr.. Lewis. Tie SER
mon was clear aLd logical answer to the
question "If q man die shall he live again 2"
Job IA. IA.
Among other excellent thoughts we noted
the following;
There was some idea of future state at
q very ancient period, some who died were
restored to life; but they evidently died
again. However truthful the conjectures
of those who lived before the time of Christ
are now seen to have been, they were only
coDjectures.
Those who we're raised from the dead in
the time and by the power of Christ were
only restored to mortal life. 1t was only
when the son of God arose from the dead
and put on immortality that clear answer
10 this ancient question was given and IL

ty to light.

Mr.. Wells has been great sufferer. For
more than three years he has been an in
valid, and for the greater portion of that
time confined to his house. For many
months he has required great amount Of
care, and he has had such care as but few
in his condition ever receive, and though
for long time he could neither enjoy life
himself or contribute to the enjoyment of
| others, the loving hearts that ministered to
bis many and almost constant wants never
seemed 10 weary, but with untiring assid-
uity sought, though with unavailing solic-
itude, to alleviate the discomfort of his
| condition. Such patient and untiring love
will have its reward. His wife, herself

was almost overcome by her emo
tons. 1t is a beautiful spectacle to be-
hold the love which enkindled in youth,
beams so brightly and purely in the feeble
ness Of age and sickness, and can we doubt
that the same infinite love which inspires
such enduring affection In finite hearts will
reward that love In another life and higher

Dea. .. Nelson, who had q sunstroke a
few days ago, has nearly recovered. His
attack was quite severe, and had 1t occurred
where he could not have been assisted he
would doubtless have died. His brother
some years since was found dead from the
same cause, but was at distance from
home in the field, and when found had
been dead many hours. Dea. Nelson's wife,
who has been Ill for some time and whose
recovery was scarcely expected, is now
slowly coming up.
