WINsLow l.. WHITE, who departed this
lite in Woodstock, on Saturday of last
week, was Il native of this town, son OF
the late George w. White, and at the
time of his death, was in the thirty-fourth
year of his life. He has been for the past
three years in the employ of Hon. Fred
erck Billings, and we understand is pro-
nounccd by Mr.. Billings to have been one
of the most trusty and best men he ever
had. lie leaves wife and one child to
mourn his loss. He was q young man of
cstimablc character-tree from all the
vices that faint the names of so many young
men Of the present age-and died as few
men do, without an enemy, respected ana
beloved by all who knew him. What are
all of the hollow, empty titles and riches
of this world compared with such rec
cord when they come to be weighed III
the balance Truly ga good name is bet
ter than fine gold" 1t is a sad thing to
see young man with the possibilities so
strong of accomplishing much good in the
world in the fullness Of strength and
manhood, cut down; but we know not
why the summons or whence the decree;
we can simply say "Thy will be done,
and yet we know that such an one, so
free flom sin and vice, is better fitted to
enter the higher degree of life-if what
we call death is but the new birth-as IN
the words of the poet
There is no death-the stars 60 down
To rise upon some fairer shore,
And there in heavens jeweled crown.
They shine forever more.

illusions similar to those contained in Sails

the treaty was a deviation from the treaties
of 1856 and 1871, he would o call them
violations. because had they been consid.
cred Ut the congress as England desired,
they might have been regarded as sugges-
tons. He showed that the possession of
Bessarabia was not q trilinR local interest.
Lord Palmerston had strongly insisted
upon its cession to Roumania as involving
the independent navigation of the Danube.
The congress could not take the place sfter
the Russians refusal to conform to her pre-
vious engagements to the treaty Of Paris.
He pointed out various ways in which the
existing situation In the east imperilled the
British empire. He could not see why Eng.
land should be unarmed when oil the other
powers were srming. The British empire
must not only be enjoyed, but maintained.
Lord Granville criticised the details of
