Horrible Death !

When George johnson was sent to the
Penitentiary for killing McCloud, his
family were sent to the Infrmary. One
of the children was taken by Mr.. Eman-
uel Ray, who intended to take care of the
child and bring it up as good children
should be raised. This child was about
nine years old-a boy, if we remember
correctly-and on last Saturday night
was playing about the fire at it's home,
when it's clothing took fire, and it was so
badly burned that it died on Sunday
morning. Of course everything possible
was done for the little sufferer, but the
hurt had been fatal one.
The history of this johnson family has
been singularly unfortunate one. Some
years ago the father shot and killed the
mother, at Sciotoville, the father is now
serving fifteen years sentence in the
Penitentiary for killing Ben. McCloud, at
Wellston, and now the child has met a
horrible death.

Death of Patrick Coll.

Patrick Coll, one of the best known of
our citizens, died on last Monday morn
ing, the result of a general breaking down,
physically. He had been a sufferer for a
long time. He was about Sc years of age,
was born in County Donegal, Ireland, and
came to this country when young man.
He had been in Jackson County for per-
haps 80 years, and formerly worked at
railroading. He sustained a severe in
jury at one time while digging ore, sew
eral miles in the country, we believe in
Bloomfield township, by the caving of a
bank. !
About 1865, he removed to Jackson and
engaged in the Grocery and Saloon busi-
ness, in the stand formerly occupied by
Patrick Moran, near the Railroad. Here
he has resided for many years, and here
he died. Mr.. Coll has three children mar
ried-a son, Stephen, daughter, Mrs.
Dan. Crossin, and another daughter, Mrs.
VIM. Fogerty, Beside these, he leaves a
widow and son.

Some moralists are discussing the
great sinfulness Of lying about Santa
Claus, and censuring parents for the
deception Of little children. These
extreme moralists should be translat-
ed at once. There is no room for
them in this world unless they join
the party of Mugwumps. They for
get the fact that this Lying" makes
the whole world happy. They will
perhaps go back on the Savior be-
cause he taught by parables-making
up story to illustrate the lesson he
wished to convey. Who is there
among us that regrets the deception
practiced upon US in earlier years ?
We can yet remember something Of
the ecstatic joy with which, as child,
we awoke, on Christmas morning, to
realization that old Kris had been
down the chimney during the night,
and left us tangible proof Of his re-
gard. The hard-hearted moralist who
would destroy Santa Claus, is as reek-
less and utterly wicked as he who
would destroy the sunlight.
