Sad Bereavement.
Many tears fell in this community, besides
those of the grief stricken parents and
kindred on receipt of the intelligence, carly
on Monday morning, Of the death Of Miss
Kaie Hamilton, daughter of Mr., and Mrs.
Hugh NJ. Hamilton, of this city She was
attending Miss Grants school in Chicago,
and three weeks ago was taken with typhoid
fever. Her mother FASTENED to her side, and
she had all the attention that faithful nurs.
Ing and the ablesv medical skill could give,
and by the middle Of last week the crisis Of
the fever seemed to have passed, and when,
on sunday, Mr. Hamilton reached her bed
side, full confidence was felt In her speedy
recovery. That night, however, IL fatal re-
lapse set in and carly on Monday morning
her gentle spirit took its flight to the better
land. She was but eighteen years old, had
always, until this Illness, enjoyed good
health, was bright, sunny, yivacious, and a
great fayorite in our young society, to whom
her loss is widely felt as personal bercave-
mcnt.
Her body was brought to Ottawa on Mon.
day, and buried in Ottawa Cemetery on
Wednesday, the funeral, in spite OF the bad
weather, being very largely attended,
friend Of the family, in connection with
the sad bereavement, hands us the following
touching lines for insertion
~ MENORIAM
Eighteen bright springs, and with heart so
blithe;
Eighteen winters, and all free from strife,
Eighteen summers, with fair beauty rife;
Eighteen autumns and eternal life.
Eighteen years in this strange world below,
Are enough for joy, enough for woe;
Blessed the dear one thus called to go
SO early home, for It's better so.
Heay'n is SO bright, and she is so fair;
Ilcav'n is so near; how soon she is there
To suffer, to die, who would not dare
And be always free from pain and care?
There's one less here, but in hcay'n one
more.
Bereavement here, on the golden shore
Smiles and a glad welcome are in store
For all our children going before.
Eighteen bright years, thank God Tor such
grace,
For Il child always a child, whose face
Bears still the marks of youth, in place,
OF endless life in heavily race. -

Murderous Chinese Burglars.

NEVADA, December 30sh.-About 2 o'clock
this morning two Cinnamon went to the
cabin of a fellow countryman, near the Provi-
dence mine, and tried to effect an entrance.
The Mongolian's wife was alone in the house
at the time, he being st work in the mill.
She heard the burglars on the outside and
tried to brighten them off, but they were de-
termined il their purpose, and finally sue
ceeded in cutting a hole in the roof,
through which they passed to the
inside OF the building. The woman continued
to resist them, and one of the murderous
heathens dealt her several blows on the head
with hatchet, iuficting four ugly gsshes,
from which the blood flowed profusely. Dur.
ing the tussle she bit one of the mems fingers
quite badly. The dripping blood could be

jewelry. one of which, in their hurry to get
away, they dropped just outside the cabin.
The shrieks of the wounded woman attracted
her husbands attention, and he arrived in
tine to see three Cinnamon running eft. 1t
is supposed that the third party was standing
guard while the others committed the rob-
berry. No arrests have yet been made. The
woman's wounds are serious, though not
necessarily fatal. The blood-stained walls
and floor of the cabin in which the crime was
perpetrsted give the place the appearance of
a slaughtsr-house more than anything else.
