Obituary.
DANIEL OSBORN.


''Fallen on lions battle field,
soldier of renown,
Armed in the panoply of God,
In conflict cloven down!
His helmet on, his armor bright,
His cheek upblanched with fear
While round his head there CLEANED light
His dying hour to cheer"
Most eminently true these lines with ref
erence to the subject of this brief sketch.
Elder ID. Osborne was born at Homer, n.
Y, June 10th, 1918; died at Paw Paw, July
Both, 1884, being at the time of his death
little over 66 years of age. AT the early age
of 1S he dedicated his life to the service of
Christ, and all his days he honored that pro-
fession by an honest and consistent work
before God and man. So pure and true was
he in word and deed, that to know him was
to esteem, and to speak Of him was to praise.
About the year 1910 he moved to Michigan,
settling at Paw Paw. Thus he became a CO.
worker with the hardy pioneer of those
earlier days, and gladly toiled with them,
pouring sunlight into the wilderness wild,
building up homes dedicated to religion,
civilization and wealth, and making our state
very gem indeed in the cluster of sister re-
publics that make up our noble nation.
Like his Master, while amechanic, he became
preacher of the word and was faithful and

be seed upon many loving hearts. March
9th, 1916, he was married to Charlotte
Woodman, who went before him to we
come his advent into the better world. This
union was blessed with three children, a
daughter and two sons, the elder of whom
yielded his life as q sacrifice upon the altar
of his country.
Elder Osborn died as he lived, a true
christian, one of Gods royal ones, and has
left behind a memory sacred and holy to al
pure hearts.
MRS MARTHA Il. DOYLE.
Mrs. Martha b. Doyle, nee Stone, was borl
at Hodgdon, Maine. June 9th, 1927, anc
died at St. Joseph, June 29th 1884 being al
the time OF her death, a little over 81 years
of age. She was married to n. H. Doyle a
Houghton, Maine, October ODD, 1853. This
union was blessed by one son and tive
daughters. Mr.. ID. moved to Michigan il
1867, was a resident of Paw Paw severe
years. but moved TO st. Joseph, where Mrs
ID. died. The cause of her death was diseas'
of the heart. Her funeral was held in this
village on Thursday last, and she was buried
in Prospect Hill Cemetary.
AS wife, she was true and faithful; as
mother, loving and devoted to her children
and as neighbor, highly esteemed by a
who knew her.

Down with Double Taxation.

Every farmer, every mechanic, every
labOring man in Vermont who owns real
estate with Il mort gage on il pays taxes
not only on the market value Of the real
estate but upon the mortgage ON it, The
tax upon the mortgage is not directly
levied upon them. for it is nominally col
lcctcd from the man who lent the money {:
but really the borrower pays it, in the in
creased rate of interest cNactch of him
Remove the tax upon mortgages and
the rate of interest on loans ON real
estate would at once he decreased
Such was the experience of MaSsa-
chuscttS. In that State the law taxing
mortgages was passed in lNSl and there
cn,ucd II decided decline in the rate of in
terest charged for mortgage loans, and
those who had formerly been compelled to
pay from Il to per cent per annum were
able to get the money they wanted at the
rate of from I to . per cent. 1t is
not the rich people. the capitalists, the
muney-lcndcrs. to whom the present Yer
mont system is oppressive, hut the poor
people. So far as the capitalists are con
ccrnrd. il does no. make any material diff
ference 10 them what the Laws may be- \
man who has money to lend may either
keep il in his pocket or impose such terms

man who wishes to buy or build Il small
house in which to shelter his family. and
whose means are insufficient to enable
him to make an outright purchase is
obliged to make the best terms with the
money lender that he can. If tax is i'm
posed on the mort gage loan, the borrower
will from necessity pay what the lender
considers fair net interest upon his
money. but also whatever taxes may b.,
imposed. To assume that such is not he
case is to absolutely ignore the teachings
of everyday experience. \ capitalist
figures upon net results, and not upon the
gross proceeds of Il Loan and it is just as
absurd to suppose that such II

The interest which has been manifested
for the past few years, in forest culture,
