The rich alluvial lands lose their attraction
when the laws of tho state are set aside as
they are in that section. Foote died as he had
lived, brave and manly. With extraordinary
coolness when he heard the lynchcrs APP
preaching his cell, he walked to the water
bucket, took quiet drink, placed his
pocket handkerchief on tho hot andiron
in tho fireplace and as tho first man
entered tho cell no fclled him to the floor, and
in tho struggle seized the mans pistol and
shot him in tho foot, and as he arose tho
crowd fired q dozen shots into him. killing
him instantly. His body lay where 1t fell
until the next morning, when the sheriff sent
it home, and the next day it was forwarded
TO Vioksburg for burial. Thus ended the life
of generous, noble, and chivarous gentle-
man, who was ever ready to extend the help
ing hand to his follow-man whenever over
taken by distress. lie did not deserve such
a fate, and l trust that those who were in
strumental in bringing it about will live long
enough TO realize the great wrong which they
committed against God and man.

time, and to servo you here as best can.
Love to all the boys. Yours truly,

COURT NEWS.

Judge Andrews has decided the ques- tion arising upon the statute of limita- tions in the case of Samuel s. Robbins against George Coffing's estate, in favor of the defendant. The case will be ap- pealed to the next term of the supreme court of errors, to be held in Hartford in March.
 The case against Mrs Beaujon and Mary Leighton for the shooting of Will liam Ivory, was adjourned from last Monday to Saturday, January 26, at a m at town hall.
 Mrs Beaujon of East Canaan was brought before Justice Bennett last Friday and prosecuted on five different cases for violation of the liquor law. The defendant demurred to the complaints, but the demurrers were all overruled and on four cases she was fined $50 and costs on each case and also sentence of 30 days in jail on each case was imposed. On one case she was fined $1O0 and costs, also 60 days in jail, and on another case S20 or $50 fine was imposed. She appealed to the next term of the superior court to be holden at Litchfield the first Tuesday in April and gave bonds for her appearance,

are asleep, even as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. " Oh then, let us, as the apostle bids, let us comfort one another with these words.
 In few brief words let me endeavor to lay before you one lesson which we all may learn on this occasion. God, in his mysterious yet loving Providence, has gathered to his breast one lamb more, one fresh young life untainted as yet by the pollutions of this naughty world. With the sacred waters of holy baptism scarce dry upon his brow, that gentle life was breathed away.
 My dear friends, the question for you and me to ask ourselves is, What of us had we thus suddenly been called |? Oh what of us, if that unlocked for call had come, "This night thy soul is required of thee" It comes thus suddenly at times. Our turn may be next.
 I do believe, that God in his mercy has taken the one best fitted, and left us with more time to prepare. He has giv- en us a warning and still further op- portunity for repentance. His holy name be blest and praised for the un- speakable compassion of his love. May we so take the lesson to our hearts, that that love be not in vain. that hence forth no call, however sudden, may find us unprepared-no voice, however start ling, may fill us with dismay.
 He freely gives us all we need for such preparation. Strength to re- pent. The grace of baptism to purge away the taint of former sin. The strengthening and heavenly food of his dear son, Jesus Christ, to be our con- stant support and nourishment, in the blessed sacrament which he has institut- ed among the means for our salvation. What more can we want ? In Christ we have everything. Without Christ we have nothing. Oh then seek him with out one moments delay-cling to him that you may never be left alone-so live in him, that you may die in him and be taken to his rest.
 Therefore the ransomed of the Lord | shall return and come to Zion with l songs and everlasting joy upon their ] heads; they shall obtain joy and glad ness, and sorrow and signing shall flee aways."

God Has Taken MY Eddie Away.

I sit by my window lonely
 And sad as heart can be That sighs, "A green mound hideth My darling Eddie from me V The chair at the table stands empty, Where at meals Eddie used to sit, And recount the days sports and trials, With his hand in mine close pressed. All impressed is that snowy pillow Where Eddie's bright head used to lie; How oft as kissed him 1 wonder ed, Are there fairer. han Eddie on high ?'' shall grieve in the days so lonely; Eddie will not come at my Call, When his books he loved must lie idle And usel, ss his sled and his ball. And how I shall miss his goodnight kiss No one but mother can know Whose tears fall fast OCT new made grave Where my darling Eddie lies low. God has taken our darling Eddie away And leaves our home all desolate. He bears him to that world of light IL, dwell with him ill Paradise.

 The old weather beaten, sign over the door leading to the NEWS office, has just been repainted by MT John O'Brian. Out of town residents anxious to pay their subscription can in future find the NEWS office without making a journey up the outside stairs to the insurance office or the vacant room adjoining, or even diving down the basement stairs.
 Last year scarlet fever was preva- lent at Monticello, N. Y., and Rev w. A. Mackey's two children were very sick and for days their condition was critical, but they eventually. recovered. Scarlet fever is again raging at Monti- cello and one family have recently lost seven of their eight children. Three lay dead at one time, two at another and the others died within an interval of several days.
 MT John G. Beebe informs us that there are three persons in East Canaan by the name of John Beebe. They are designated by the names of John, John G., Johnnie. We were not aware there was Q third John Beebe; had always heard John G. mentioned as Johnnie and the last issue of the NEWS contained an article about Johnnie Beebe being fined for Sabbath breaking, filling Mrs Beaujon's ice house on Sunday. John G. asks us to state that 1t was John G. instead of Johnnie who was fined for that offense, for he does not wish his nephew to be unjustly charged with Sabbath breaking.
 We have received communication taking exceptions to the NEWS version of the shooting afray at East Canaan on the evening of January 12. We intended to publish an unbiased and impartial account and gave the story as we heard it. We had no desire to iniure the reputation of Mary Leighton, for we have always heard her highly spoken of and worthy of great credit and we understand she has always been opposed to her mother selling liquor and in fact only remained at home when compelled to. Perhaps the words dared | them to come back" as our account read, convey wrong impression and | the words warned them not to return" would have been correct. No hearing of the case has yet been held, therefore the bottom facts are not known, but | much sympathy is expressed for Mrs Leighton by those who have known her record, which, until thls unfortunate affair was untarnished.
