all the bearing and indescribable impress

all the bearing and indescribable impress of man. Man he was, in every sense of the term; patient, courageous, quiet man, possessed by that spirit of invinci- bility the farthest possible removed from brag and buster.
 Was there ever a race so prodigal in manhood as the Anglo Saxon race and especially it's New England branch? In all Gods world, it is doubtful if more manhood can be found, buried to the square mile, than in New England. Men, the keenness of whose intellect. the ju- dicial structure of whose mind, the yer satility of whose faculties and the equi- poise of whose powers constitute the raw material out of which states and con- monwealths and organized industries are evolved. The sons of New England are doing all these things in the great West to-day, while thousands of their equally capable brothers may be found on the old homestead, exerting all their superb powers to provoke the scant New Eng land soil and the stern New England climate into smiling prosperity upon them. No one who knew MT Nichols could deny his claim to being one of these equally capable brothers.
 Shrewd? Of course he was shrewd He came by shrewdness as naturally as the Jewish banker of to-day has come to his financial ability. The descendant of the man who, recovering from the bewilder- ment of contact with the supernatural, could coolly promise 10 per cent. divi- dend on all investments to his supernat- ural visitor, could not be other than skill otherwise with the New Englander. Ma ture makes no foolish investments. The keen though kindly eye, the non-eommit- tai tone ofAvoice, the perfect nonchalence when most deeply interested. Dame Ma ture has not given her New England boy all this for no purpose. She expects him to be shrewd. How else could we have had a P. T. Barnum, whose shrewdness has hoodwinked the world into good na- ture for two generations?
 As to his religious views, MT Nichols kept them, with New England reserve, to himself. He belonged to that class to be found in every community whose rela- tions in life, domestic, social and civil, are all that they should be and who yet hold aloof from organized Christianity. The pastor of the M. E. church conduct ed the funeral services. The address was delivered by Rev David Osborn. The funeral took place at his house, Tuesday at l p m; burial in the Stepney ceme- tery.-[R

AS yet nothing has been heard
from S. E. Corey who disappeared
some four months ago. 1t will be re-
membered that Mr.. Corey went to
Troy, N. Y, under an avowed pur-
pose Of visiting his aged mother at
that place. His family have traced
him to Troy where he made his visit
and afterwards disappeared from the
sight of his friends as effectually as
if the earth had opened and swallowed
him. Several theories have been adj
vanced as to his whereabouts and
probable fate, but the most probable
is that he left to avoid the conse.
quences of his financial condition
From what has come to light during
the past few weeks it appears his
fight was imperative, and that he will
not be liable to appear in this section
in the immediate future.

ems have been clear and unclouded
