SH E1.D.

Last week we made note of the death of MT Isaac Spur, from pneumonia on the 17th inst. The morning following his burial cousin of hls who had been with them through the winter, Miss Maria Holmes, died of heart disease. Her remains were taken to VanDeusen- vile for burial :; and now again the messenger of death has come to this house and taken Mrs Issac Spur. She had been in poor health long time but probably her death was hastened by the sad affliction which had come to her. Her funeral services were attended at the M. B. church, (of which she was a member) last Sunday morning.
 Last Sunday afternoon the funeral services of MT Dennis Lee were held from his late home, where he passed away the 23d inst

 Another victim is added to the mum Der yearly slaughtered by the Housa' tonic railroad company. This time 1t is 8 negro, who was killed by train som. distance below Cornwall Bridge. The body was msrcifully" brought to Cornwall Bridge station and left, where it was seen by the medical examiner some time after. What the law in relation to such matters is, we are nol aware, but leave it for lawyers and those who make such things their business, t., decide. But it certainly seems as ii someone was responsible, or ought to be held responsible, for killing fellow man unless 1t clearly appears there was no carelessness, or omission of duty on the part of those having the train in charge. The Medical Examiner, Di Sanford, made no inquiry, 1t seems, oi either the engineer or fireman, or in fact of anyone who saw or knew any thing about the killing. Who is to decide whether there was carelessness or not? In sach cases it used to b, considered that an inquest ought to be held. Now, it seems that medical examiner looks at the body of a persol. found dead, pockets his fee and walks off In 8 short time the railroad compa- ny have another subject, killed some where, and so it goes on without an. regard for human life. In looking over the newspapers it will be noticed that when such 8 case happens in New York 8 coroner immediately holds an inquest Why is no inquest held in such cases here, to ascertain if there was any care lessness or omission of duty on the par of those causing the death Not loug ago similar case occurred between this village and Cornwall Bridge. The same medical examiner gathered togeth- CT the mangled remains !; they we're put in box, he pocketed his fee and no ont raised feeble voice to inquire whether any responsibility for the killing rested upon the person causing the death. I, is certainly to be hoped that this cast will not pass unnoticed, but will receive the degree of care by the officials that its importance demands. If any respou sibility attaches to any person it ough' to be known, and if not it certaiul, should be known. The killing of { human being ought not to pass un noticed.
