BY the resignation of Dir. j. b.
Snodgrass, as physician of the Aims
house, the people lose the services of
an upright, efficient and careful off,
Ger. He needed no urging, but stood
Mt his post of duty like warrior
true, 70" thirteen years, and during
that time in weekly visits to the
Almshouse, travelled over 6,760 miles,
over one fourth the distance round
the world. We dislike to see the
doctor retire. DR.. G. p. Morrison
will make a good man in his place
his reputation for carefulness and eff
ficiency being unsurpassed.

r DEATH has again found shinir
9 mark, in the person of Mr.. Graz
8 Kitchen, of Tomahawk, who died la
! Friday with typhoid pneumonia. E
: was one of the wide.awake, energet
: merchants of the beautiful valley b
yond the mountains; honest, good-n
tured and true as steel in his frient
ship. During an acquaintance {
many years, we always found hir
reliable, fair and trustworthy. I
the prime of life, the idol of aged pal
ents, and the best of husbands, he j
cut down just preceding a season G
festal memory and cheer. His dealt
was the result of undue exposure Il
the elements, for by nature he wa
rather weak We sympathize will
father, mother, wife and friends
May he find rest in that other beauti-
full valley, beyond the River of Death,
where Joy everlastingly abides and
where the loved ones of other days,
greet the incoming soul OF those they
left mourning in the 'tgreen vale Of
tears below"
