The iowa Clock,

Steadily as the daylight merges into
darkness, soemnly as the evening
shadows shrnud the earth, and with a
warning to us all, each hour, of the
flight of time, the new clock in the
Court House tower tolls the number
indicated by the hour hand. And
thus will it every toll. while the long
procession of each succeeding genera
tion silently wends its way to the
quietness of that long repOse which
eternity alone shall break. Tae aged
will hear the toll with thapkfulncSS
that speaks to them % the gladly
welcomed closing scene. The child
newiy-born will listen to the num-
bered hours, as promising a future SO
full of joy and happiness. And the
lover bewail the few strokes that
warn him of daylight, and that he
must soon leave his sweetheart, and
HE him to the sober hum drum of
every day life From its watch tower

A Fatal Sleigh Ride.
Erie Evening Herald. ]

Last Tuesday Mr.. and Mrs. Irwin
stark, of Harbor Creek township, net
with II loss that was simply heart-rend-
ing, inasmuch rs they had unwit-
tinSiy smothered their little baby girl
OF from three to four months old while
out sleigh riding, by bundling it up
too close,y, Mr.. and Mrs. Stark had
been to ihe city on shopping tour.
AT Jacob Halier's stort, preparatory TO
starting for home, they warmed the
wraps for their babe and bundled it up
very carefully so as To protect it from,
the winds. The child was Il very pre- ty
little thing and while being wrapped
up was unusulIy bright and active.
The precious little bundle Was put un-
der the robes and the road, about nine
miles, covered in less than an hour
and Il half. When the babe was taken
Ironl what proved to he its death robe,
It was thought 10 he sleeping, and
several inmates elapsed ere the keen
eye of the fond mother discovered thai
she had been fondling IL corpse. Mr..
STARK who had gone to stable Iii,
horse was attracted hy the screams ofhis
wife, and upon Fastening to the house
Was informed of the sad state of affairs.
No surgical examination was made
but the general supposition is that the
child Was smotherel by beiur too
cloSly bundled up. The bereaved par
ents who have II number OF friends
living in this city are almost distracted
over the loss of their child.
