JOHN W DOHERTY, owner and editor
of the Monroe Gazette, WoOdsfield, fell
dead in his room from fatty degeneration
of the heart, on Monday evening. Mr..
Doherty was a bachelor, about Al years of
age. and lodged in rooms over the store
of Albert Jones. He had gone to his
rooms for the eTening, and from the SUR
roundings was probably in the act of shay
ing some kindling from stick with
which to start a fire, when he fell
heavily to the floor, dead. The fall was
heard by persons in the store room be-
meath and some one went at once to his
apartments and found him she had fall
en-. and life was extinct. The deceased
was a soldier of Co. B, 18th o. Y. l., and
was wounded at the battle of Bull Run.
After the war he practiced law in Woods
field. He was prominent in Monroe poll
ties and generally represented the county
at Republican State Conventions, and
was a delegate from his district to the
National Republican Convention of 1880,
and alternate to the recent National
Convention at Chicago. He was some
what eccentric, but was possessed OF a
generous nature, and was ever ready to
contribute of his means to alleviate Suf-
fering and to befriend the friendleSs. The
death of Mr. Doherty has. cast a gloom
over the community in which he lived,
and the sorrow will extend to his news
paper brethren, among whom he was a
fayorite.

through the hush of the budding

episode humanity ever knew speaks
to forgetful world and the world
gracefully p&ases and listens The
grave solemnity of Holy Week, with
ell the poetic associations of religion,
has touched with the finger Of silence
even the boisterous lips of commerce.
All over the land to-day, as IN all
other Christian lands, the inspiring
suggestion of Faster fills society
with serenity and hope,
Eaatsr-tide; of all the seasons of
the year, bears the grandest message
10 the Christian woFid-telling us of
how the Saviour suffered for us, how
he died for Us, gained the mastery
OF death and made certain to us the
life beyond where al rs peace and
love. Those who have walked with
him in the valley and shadow of
death now rejoice that the sorrowful
forty days are ended and that He
has arisen that all mankind might be
saved through Him. On this day
with what peace we look forward to
the future, for all arouad us 30 we
see signs,of rejoicing that he died
for us, so also has He arisen and gone
Before us as mediator with the
Father.
We feel with each return of this
hOpe-reviving season how fitting is
the time of it's celebration All ma
sure rs touched. by the revivifying
hand of spring is pervaded by the
new life engendered, and on every
hillside, along every valley we see
Mother Earth awakening after the
dreary days of WINTER in whose
ffigid clasp she has SO long laid dor
mant, shaking off her snowy mantle.
Borne on the soft winds come the
Hweet carols of the plumed songstera
who are made glad by the return OF

Of buds and blooming of flowers
tspifying the never-dyingsoul which
when its season reaches it's fullnesR
Bursts this prison-house of clay to
Bloom IN immortal life.
With what delight the early Chris
tians must have welcomed the return
Of this day. Prosecuted, reviled and
hunted from the face of the earth,
hiding in the dark crypts and in
tombs among the ghastly remains OF
persisted humanity. Easter to them
was not word alone, for they knew

that soon their bodies were to be as

Bodies would triumph over deatt
