EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN: In the death of
Mrs. r. G. Hart a wondrously perfect
Christian life has gone out-a life full of
good works-and it is meet that we take
note of its transition; that we linger with
loving reverence over its sanity conse-
Grafton, and over the rare spiritual eXalta-
ton that wore an atmosphere of holy Joy
"a rapture of love to the Lord which few
comprehend and still fewer can attain.
Her thought and conversation dwelt on
Heavenly things. Prayer and praise and
eNhortation We're the natural breath of
her spiritual life, while sweet and tender
and lovely as wife, mother and friend,
her supreme excellence lay in the Chris
tan graces that adorned her life. Stricken
beyond recovery by the untimely death
Of a dear son, her faith looked up to say,
Though He slay me, yet viii / trust in
Him." We mourn her loss, and tender
to her sorrowing family our sympathies,
and humbly thank the Lord that His
love makes possible such lives for our
ensample. II. p. NJ.

Doves Will be Plentiful.

n correspondent of the Folsom TeEe-
graph, writing from Mormon Island,
says: Doves are rather early this year,
and can be found in plenty in the neigh
boring fields. Sp0rtSmen will do well to
load up their shells with number eight.
and rub from their guns what rust has
accumulated since the quail law has come
into effect"
1t is all well enough to rub the rust
from guns lit should never be allowed to
get there, however), but sportsmen will
bear in mind the fact that it will not be
legal to shoot doves this year until the
lst of july.

and also damaged many miles of roadbed

different companies are doing all in their
power to build better bridges and place
their roads on better Foundation than
before. The commission found some
