Clared that the Lenten season was one solid

aWhy is It." the preacher asked, y that those
whose lives are publicly devoted to the service
of God, such as clerRymen ana sisters OF
charity, clothe themselves in the garb of mourn
ing, and appear to be the saddest and most
doleful creatures on the face OF the earth The
original predominant idea OF God was being
so cruel that TO him tears and groans were de-
light. There are times, undoubtedly, when
sacrifice of self is virtue. 1t is noble ID man

Last Thursday morning our quiet
town was thrown into fever of ex-
citement by the report that Daniel
Stocker, n prominent citizen aged about
Is years, was missing from his home.
For Il long time past he has been much
out of health, which has impaired his
mind to considerable extent. He
had retired to bed in the chamber of
his residence about mile west of
town the evening previous, his wife
aud grand daughter occupying the
bedroom below. During the night he
arose and left the house, leaving his
pocketbook, containing several hun
dred dollars in money. and his watch
at home, but taking with him a razor
which had been taken from him Il
short time previous and hidden, but
which he had managed to find. His
strange talk and actions led his family
and friends to fear that he had COM
mitted suicide and he had been eau
tiously watched, but he managed to
elude the vigilance of his friends, who
had hoped they would not be under
the necessity of taking him to the asy-
lum at Newburg, for which he mani
tested great dread. Search was insti-
tuted about the premises but to no
purpose. The town was aroused and
during the day the swamps, ponds and
township We're thoroughly searched,
but without avail no track or tidings
could be obtained. Night came ON and
a terrible state of suspense and gloomy
fOrebOdings rested upon the minds of
his friends. On Friday the search was
continued In o&ber directions without
success and his friends began to despair
when between seven and eight o'clock
in the evening the unfortunate wan
derer returned. having for nearly two
whole days been wandering in the
swamps in the southwest part of the
township, entirely destitute of food
and shelter aud in most pitiable con-
dition. He says he saw the parties
for him. OH Thursday and
stood in the water nearly to his waist
with the razor 5n his hand ready to
apply it to his throat rather than be
captured and taken off to Newburg.
This tended torelieve the general anx-
iety of the community, but the unfor-
tunate man and his relatives have the
hearty sympathy of all in their great
trials.
Mr.. Stoeker was taken on Tuesday
to the Northern Ohio Asylum at New
burg, for treatinent, and the managers
of that institution give his friends
much ressoh = hope for his speedy
recovery.
