THE uncertainty of life has seldom been
more strongly emphasized here than in the
death of Slas Bohonon on Tuesday evening
OF last week. He went to his horse barn to
do his chores in usual health. II was soon
apparent that he was having some trouble
with horse there. Presently he called for
help, and was seen to come out of the
stable, with hands uplfted, and saying:

been kicked in the breast. He was taken
to the house, but expired in a few moments
just how the accident occurred is not
known. The horse was found with one
hind foot over a chain behind him and. we
hear, foot in the scuttle hole close by. In
less than twenty-four hours after the acct

house, and his body was then taken to the
new cemetery for burial. Rev. Harvey
Webster officiated on the occasion, made
particularly sad by its suddenness. 80 A

of our farmers of whom we have Just learned
will some time and somewhere find them
selves amply paid for any sacrifice made in
getting up after twelve O'Clock of Sunday
night to take their stock to market, rather
than during the Sabbath. They are build
ing better than they know" perhaps.

the ground. The distance from the caves OF

OF our townsmen, who some years ago re.

praise to the people of that place for their
special readiness to show all neighborly
kindness to any of their citizens in times OF
sickness or any other trouble. If this be so
both the sick and the well there are to be
congratulated, for do not the latter get even
the greater blessing by such Kindness
shown? - Landlord T.. ID. Barnes of the
