OBITUARY..

Died at Summit Point, March %,
1880, of scarlet fever, ROBERT VIM
CENT, only son of Daniel and Annie
V. Wilmington, aged years, 9 months
and 10 days.
He was too dear 10 stay below,
God called him up above;
He called him from this earthly clay
To sing redeeming love.
To that far off blessed country
Where your darling boy has gone,
Think not that he went thro' darkness
Wandering fearful and alone.
Jesus loves those little children,
He has borEe him over the flood,
And has laid your treasure safely
In the bosom of his God.
Heaven retaineth now your treasure,
Earth the lonely casket keeps,
And the sun-beams loves to linger
Where your darling boy now sleeps,
You cannot call your darling back
His life on earth is DER,
Summer will come with flowers,
But Vincent will come no more.
Weep not for him dear parents,
Although he leaves You now;
Be righteous now and pure in heart,
Then you will meet and neyerpart
Farewell Vincent we will miss you,
More than tongue can ever tell,
Yet again we hope to meet You
In that land where angels dwell.

BOLD ATTEMPT AT RoBBERY.-One of
the boldest attempts at robbery which
has ever occurred in this town took
place about halfpast 7 o'clock Thurs
day evening 1t occurred at the resi-
dence of w. d. Burkhart, Esq. He
was absent from town. The lamp had
been lighted and Mrs. Burkhart was
sitting i'll the parlor. The children
were playing on the pavement near the
house. A little after : clock, Mrs. Is.
took lighted lamp and went to her
sitting room up stairs. She was recliu-
ing on lounge, reading, when slight
noise attracted her attention, and look
ing up she saw standing near her. like
an aparition, burly negro. She was
overcome with fright, and in attempt
ing to rise the negro caught her by the
arm, and she fell 10 the floor in a
swoon. One of the children having
gone into the house at the time heard
the noise of her fall, and ran up stairs.
She found her mother lying on the
floor She gave the alarm, and then at
tempted to extinguish the lamp, which
had been knocked over, and was burn
ing on the floor In few minutes
number of persons had gathered in, and
it was found that the negro had gath
cred up lot of silverware in the din
ing-room down stairs, tied it up in a
table cloth and left it on the floor while
he went up stairs in search of more
plumber. He had rifled several drawers
in room up stairs, and had lied the
articles up in sheet, when going into
the room of Mrs. 3. his further plans
were foiled by the noise of her fall at
tracing attention. He escaped with
about seven dollars in money which he
found in a drawer Mrs. B. was so
frightened that physicians were called

The Northern Pacific farmer. [volume] (Wadena, Minn.) 1878-1885, 1880-10-28

The Swedish and Norwegian press
are discussing in somewhat heated
terms the agitation prevailing among a
section of Norwegians for the repeal OF
the act of union between Sweden and
Norway, and the establishment of a
Norwegian republic. The Swedish jour-
mails, while limiting that the separation
of Norway would be a good radiance,
maintain that the honor of Sweden is
involved, and that, if necessary, strong
measures must be employed to re-
waken the loyalty of the Norwegians.
The relations between the Norwegian
deputies and the king are greatly
strained, the right of the king to final
veto having been denied by large ma
ioritv.

In recent work on primary educa-
ton and apprenticeship in France, NJ.
SaGcer, a naval officer and Cantonal
delegate, referring to the distaste for
manual work Of the children who leave
the elementary schools of Paris, says:
"These little bureaucrats come to the
end of their school course with but one
fear before them-that of being forced
to become workmen and workwomen;
and but with one wish-the boys to be-
come clerks, the girls shop women.
Hence this underlined, uncertain, over
stocked class of bookkeepers, cashiers,
statesmen, clerks, agents, scorning cap
and blouse, and the corresponding class
still more to be pitied, of young ladies
of no shop, perhaps, and with the COW
eted attire, but, alas, how procured !"

THERE has lately been published a
very interesting official paper by Capt.
Morant, of the British navy, on the OPP
erations of the six vessels sent under
command of the Duke of Edinburg to
give aid in the west coast Of Ireland.
The report says that the distress did
not come suddenly on the inhabitants
of this wild region by reason of the fail
ure of last years harvest, but was due
in great measure to the falling off in
value of help. This compelled the peo-
pie to fall back upon tillage and fishing;
but the crops capable of being grown
are utterly insufficient to support the
population, while the appliances for
fishing are too imperfect to help much
in sustaining the communities. The
population is far larger than such soil
and climate can support, and the peo-
pie have been imprudent in making
very early marriages. Emigration is
the only remedy for these people.
