Obituary.
E. CLARENCE oLIN.

Seldom are we called upon to chronicle so sad an event, and one which excites such heartfelt sympathy for the bereaved parents, as the death of E. Clarence, youngest son of Mr. F. M. Olin, formerly 8 resident of this place. His death occurred at Worcester Mass, the 9th inst, at which place private funeral was held at the house, at which the teacher and school, numbering 60 pupils, en tered in body, to pay the last tribute of re- spect to their departed friend. The schoo presented 8 beautiful pillow of flowers witt the name "Clarence" arranged in letters of blue flowers, and containing card witt the inscription, ''We will not forget thee. A crescent of opening white rosebuds wa! presented by, and card containing the in scription of "Class of 1879. We loved him. The singing was conducted by his musi teacher and quartette. and was very fint and expressive. His body was brought herr 1 for interment, and short sermon at the, reg uiar hour of service was held at the M. E church Sunday, the Rev. F. J. Belcher con ducting the funeral solemnities; the choi singing "Waiting for Thee" as one selection There was profusion of flowers, consistini of baskets and wreaths, which stood on tn casket and on the table within the chancel which were kindly arranged and presented b, the young ladies of this village and Ames | vile. He frequently spoke of the camp meeting at Pine Grove, every session of which he hat attended, and looked forward with anticipat- ed pleasure to the coming one the preseu season; but the Reaper .Death" has claimed him for His own, and his body now lie buried on the sunny slope of grassy hill overlooking the village, and in sight of thu home he loved so well, and for which he hac strong attachment. He was l6 years O age, and his sparkling wit and vivacious man ners made him a favorite with his classmates and friends. But weep net, friends and rel atives of the deceased, ''Though he be dead yet shall he live again" F. k H. CLARENCE E. oI1IN. Your dear boy now blest in memory, To your hearts strangely nigh, In the love of truth, In the morn of youth, So early called to die. And no other, however loved, In your hearts his place can fill, And the one now gone, Leaving dear ones lone, Will oft be remembered still. We can offer DO word that will tighten Hearts deeply stricken and sore Nought we offer could ease
 Hearts 30 burdened with grief,
 And make 1t glad as before.
 The I rightest flower we cherished
 May De the frst to fade.
 And the rose we pluck
 Brightest at morning,
 Be withered at evenings shade. ..... And yet ofttimes fragrance
 Will finger about 1t still
 Many & coming night
 A gladsome delight
 Your heart may with pleasure thrill.

The affair creates much feeling in Cornwall, as; the two boys were thought highly of; and ohagnot hssbnt slistie sympathy, He is 8 quarrelsome character, and continually in law.5 It was but a short time ago that he was before the courts for poisoning cattle in Nor folk. In short he is a man whom his neigh bors at once fear and despise, and is oonsid- cred by all, capable of the deed for which he is now held; and there is no doubt in the minds of those acquainted with all the cir- cumstances and the character of the man, that he is the guilty party and should suffer. The evidence, although circumstantial, points to Chagnot, and to no one else. The boys, on their way to Cornwall Plains, met Chag- not, driving home, about dusk ; this gave Chagnot ample time to lay his plans, go to his house for his gun, return to the inter: section of the roads, lie in ambush for the re- turn of the boys and reap a terrible revenge for his wrongs. After the shooting he start ed on run, straight for home, and hia, foot tracks gave him away In the tracks were found nail prints corresponding to the nails in the heels of pair of boots taken by the officers, which were damp and covered around the edge of the sole, with sand sticking to it, as it will while walking in the falling, dew, which disproves Chagnot's assertion that he was not out in the road afoot, but got out of the wagon at his gate and walked direct to the house, leaving boy to take care of the horse. In that case he would have got no sand on his boots. His double barreled gun. which was also taken, was found to be load; cd, but the charge was drawn and found to be fresh charge, the, wedding being clean, and but slightly tamped, having every indi- cation of having been harriedly and recently loaded, and although ohagnot said it had not been fired of for a long time, those who are Ecapable.of judging say that from certain indi- cations about the nipple and lock, it had been dischargad, within 24 hours. $. 'ss = .sa
 These points, although not conclusive, will have their weight, and it is hoped that the guilty person will meet his deserts, and that Chagnot, if innocent, will be able to prove ar alibi,s a' 7 '' '"

AMpuTATIoN OF THE LEG
Within Three Inches of the Hip Joint. Operation performed by Dr. Ken- nedy, of Rondout, N. Y., PrOpri-
 etOr or " Favorite Remedy"

MT. Abram Ellsworth, a wealthy mer- chant of Port Even, Ulster Co.,, N. Y, had suffered for more than twenty-five years with disease involving nearly the whole of the thigh bone. and the suffering man was given up by all the physicians who had attended him, who said there was no help, he must die. Finally Dr. Kennedy, proprietor of "Favorite Remedy" was con- suited, who decided that amputation would save the patient. Dr. Kennedy performed the operation, and then gave "Favorite Remedy" to purify the blood, and thus prevent the return of the disease-and MT. Ellsworth remains to this day in the bloom of health.
 Are you suffering from any disorder of the Blood, Kidneys, Liver, or Constipation of the BowelsP Then use Dr. David Ken- nedy's Favorite Remedy"
 For all the ills peculiar to Females, old or young, Dr. Kennedy's "Favorite Rem- edy" has, and will prove, perfect blessing.
