To the Memory of A. Danrin.

Sunday evening. l took the mournful
pleasure to stray for d while into the church
ward and view the last narrow dwelling
place OF our young friend A. Dantin who
has ceased his communication with us. The
grave gives us a faint vestige of golden
truth SO rich, so beautiful, that zone other
can soothe the anguish Of the heart.
The providence of God extends to every
thing.
Neither youth. nor beauty can stay the
hand of death.
On him, his father gazed with kindness,
his gentle mother and sisters. in the dream
ings of their love. had the brightest hopes
for the future bat now these hopes are
biiehted by the destroying hand Of death.
He now rests calmly and peacefully. SOr-
row will no more modest him and the breeze
will moan a gentle dirge as it passes over
his resting place.
oh may bis dntiful behavior as a son, af-
lection and kindness "a a brother and com
panion shed a balm over the sorrow of his
parents, While all, strew with flowers the
dismal spot where he repOses!
AN UNKNOWN FRIEND.

-Zaclariah Chandler, Senator
from Michigan, and Secretary Of
the Interior under Grant, was
found dead in his bed in Chicago
on last Saturday morning. Chan
dler was one of the Northern Rad
icals who never got mad until the
fighting was over, when he hailed
off his coat and has never ceased
to slauder and villify the South
ern people.
No man did more than he in
c0nsummating the fraud which
placed Hayes in the Presidential
Chair. t.s
He was a man of great talent
and considerable influence in his
section of the country.
But dead, let him repose in
quiet.
We confess a good deal of ad
miration for the enterprise OF a

da Parishes who publish the same
paper with the only difference
that one is called the Whitehall
Age and the other the Marrepas

have studied out the following
sentence.

When We contrast the recep-

Judge Beattie opened his re.

on this occasion, as, the last time
it Was his pleasure te appear be

building was when the State Sc

they had met here to day to dis

whether the new constitution was

from this opinion, for in his opin

For Taylor Beattie, once a con.

But you say that he may not

Don't believe it.
Taylor Beattie, who is a jump
