I'm Memory ofEiien Norah Ehler.

Ii u1c1lhOIy O1 Ula1CLk alhk 4LL1AS
oh, what a joy was she,
So loving and so bright,
a strain of melody,
A charm by day and night.
Her face, her smile, her voice,
Her lovely winning ways,
All made our hearts rejoice
For a few feeting days.
Alas, she is not here,
We mourn the missing one,
Our gentle Norah dear.
o Lord, Thy will be done
The arms OF death enfold her,
She's in the silent tomb;
On earth We'll meier behold her
Our hearts are filled with gloom.
But we expect to meet her
With angels in the sky;
How sweet twill be to greet her
In that blest home on high.
May hope forever cheer US,
And soothe the smitten breast;
May Christ be ever near US,
Until we join the blest.

The building of a new Opera House in
Eaton by a stock company is being dis
cussed. 1t is just what is needed-the
present one is unfit for public exhibitions
andis berated by every troupe that comes
to our town. Let us have the new one.
We have just received the finest lot OF
Embroideries ever seen in Eaton and are
selling the same at very low prices
Mammoth Cheap Store.
On Monday morning last Frank Jel.
lison, a young boy of about sixteen years
old, an habituate of the Eaton depot
had his foot badly bruised and some
bones broken, while voluntarily attempt
ing to couple q freight car DIR. Quinn
dressed the injuries.
The "gold excitement" wei east o
West Alexandria, has not stirred up thi:
neighborhood very much. AS soon a.
the poor people around there commenc.
taking it out in big chunks, we'll pur
chase a few acres of the land and chang,
our business.
The building of the new school hous,
is being pretty well discussed, and b,
the old fogy miser 'cussed." Their,
will be n trouble about it-every fel
low will want it built his way, and tn,
result will be that the enterprise will "g'
up a spout" Twas ever thus.
| A bill has been introduced in the Leg
} ~islature to amend. section 701O, request
ing that owners of opera houses, thea
tres, halls, &C., shall have the proper Ger
tifcate, showing they have made al
. rangements fo- egress in ease OF fire, un
