Sevenmile was on the rampage last
Monday, it being fuller of water than fol

citizens, watching its tumbling and surg

scription down its booming stream.
Our merchants report a lively holiday
trade and that the articles purchased
were of a more valuable and higher pric-
ed class of goods than are usually sold
upon such occasions. Some very valua-
BILE articles for presents were purchased.

Oh the mud, the horrible mud,
Filling the town with its beastly food,
Over the crossings, over the street,
Over the clothes Of the people you meet,
Selling,
Spelling,
Bespattering all,
It sticks to your feetand makes you call
For a plucky boot black, to give you a
Or other small service not just in that
line;
But the boy comes not, be SURE he's
stuck tight,
In some fathomless quogmire out of
your sight.

The Harpers "Monthly'' and "Week-
Ees' have come promptly to hand. We
are always pleased to praise the papers
and magazine issued by this firm. All
are frst-class. HARPER's MONTHLY, as
a literary magazine, has no superior in
this country. The WEEKLY has always
exerted a most powerful and beneficial
influence upon the public mind. The
Bazaar is prominently a journal for the
household. 1t is devoted to fashion,
stories, poems and essays on social and
domestic topics. Every number is a good
Ole. The YOUNG PEOPLE is a recent
venture of the Harper's, and if we are to
judge by their previous efforts, this pa
per will be irst-class in every particular.

umn.

We do not remember the time when
called upon to record a death in our COM
munity, SO universally regretted as that
of our old friend VIM. SKARDoN, who died
of heart disease about 9 o'clock on Sab
bath evening last, in the 10th year of his
age. He was up and around all Sabbath
dSs but not feeling very well, and at his
usual time of retiring read a chapter in
the bible held family worship and retired
alone. When his wife went to the bed
some time after she found him dead,
with his hands gently laying across his
breast. His exit from this troubled world
was as peaceful and quiet as a summel
morn. We believe Mr. S. came to Eaton
nine years ago from Cincinnati, most Of
which time he vas engaged in the lamp
and Rose-light business, establishing fol
himself a very clever little trade. He
was a good old gentleman-a consisten
and honest Christian devoted mem
