We are all sorry to learn the death Of
Augustus Turner, and yet we are glad.
Sorry, because the cause of Christ has
lost an earnest co-laborer; sorry, because
society has lost an exemplary Christian;
sorry. because the cause of humanity has
lost one of its most profound sympathisers
And yet we are glad. Glad that he died
in the triumphs of living faith; glad
that, when he was summoned to Join the
innumerable caravan that j. moving to the
silent halls OF death, he approached his
grave with an mistaken confidence in
God; and, although Mr.. Turner had MANY
weaknesses which the whole human fam
lily falls heir to, yet those other qualities
those innumerable qualities which char
acterized him as man of noble spirit,
are adequate enough to expunge those
minor qualities to which all mankind are
addicted. Mr.. Turner was always ready
and willing to admonish those who consult
ed him,in the paths of truth and IN an up
right, Christian life. Well do / remember
upon one occasion while in converse
ton with him about my spiritual graces,
he said: 81 am proud to know that you
are making sacrifices in order that you
may keep yourself in school and prepare
yourself for some vocation in life. Let
me say to you," said he, "that your hard
est toll is to come yet. Soon you will go
out into life to meet with many disadvant-
ages, and those who should be your
warmest friends will seek to retard the
progress of any enterprise in which you
may be engaged. They will even take
advantage of every omen about you, and
herald 10 the world, in fiendish manner,
unfounded defam atory statements in order
that they may check your influence.
But let me say to you, keep faith and be
firm" This is only one instance of the
many admonitions which he gave meas

The Township Election.

The Republicans carried Center town.
ship last Monday by handsome major
ity, electing every man on the ticket The
Democrats made desperate efforts to defeat
the ticket, but without avail. Returns

made large gains. The official count will
probably show Republican majority in
the State. With good candidates, efficient
organization, and enthusiastic work, the
Republicans will sweep the State in No
