words easily spoken and written, but how many
at this day can appreciate and realize the full
import and the situation and conditions which
the words conveyed nearly three quarters of a
century ago in this country. Alas, too few are
left at this day to relate the tolls trials, prvaons
and hardships endured by the early settlers OF
| this country. 1t was wild country and the
youthful associations of the first born, not re-
| fined nor elevating. To those, then, who did
not yield to the demoralizing influences of their
surroundings, but, like the deceased, struck into
| the right channel and held firm and steady
| course, great credit is due. He was apprentice
| ed to the carpenters trade at 10, and at 70 was
a master builder. BY industry and economy he
accumulated a competence, and in his declining
years saw with pride and pleasure his children
whom he had lavishly educated, filling honora
BILE positions in society. He persiStently alb
stained from contentious and ltigations, attend
ing strictly to his own business and duties
feeling it imperative duty to act well his part
regardless of public opinion. AT the age of 2
he united with the Disciple Church. and shortl
after was elected Deacon, which Office he he'll
till his death. His whole life was spent within
miles of his late residence, and it is a hig
tribute to his character TO say that he die
without an enemy. The pioneers and earl

Last Thursday afternoon. John Corp, William
and Thos. Burns of Kent, were brought up from
the Erie depot, to answer to a charge of intoxi-
cation and tagging train. The patrol ;"
wagon was brought into requisition, but no OBJ
jections were made by the festive trio. two of
whom were on the delightful border land of a
drunken anasthesia and the third was happily
unconscious of his plight. Saturday forenoon
brought before Mayor Holcomb. and fined ST.
each and costs. for intoXcation. The Burns are
brothers, and employed in the Kent yards, one
as conductor, and the other as switchman. They
had been to Leavittsburgh to meet the pay car
but the officials refused to pay them away from
their place of residence, and they then went to
Hudson. whence they came to this place, and
were accom- modated with quarters by our hos
pitable Sheriff. Two of the boys paid their
fines, and the other remained in Jail until the
afternoon. when he. too, went on his way reioic-

upon him. The boys appeared intelligent, and
did not look like touehs. and pr Jbably told the
truth. when they stated this was the first time
they were ever arrested.
