The Feuuimore Times


While coming from BoScobel Tues
day night, Fred GlaSburner was thrown
from his wagon, on one of the many
hog backs that adorns the road be.
tween here and that city, and broke
his shoulder. He is quite badly hurt
and the town should be made topay
the damages. We have often con
demned those miserable dirt piles that
pathmasters will insist on building
They are nuisance to any road and
disgrace to civilized community,
and are of ne earthly use whatever eN-
cept an obstruction to the travelling
public and ought to be wiped from the
face of the earth, and probably will be
if each township in the county is made
pay heavy damages for obstructing the
public highway. We would like to see
Fred shove his case through court and
see what these dirt piles are from a
standpoint.

In Memory Of Miss Clara GiIlmann.


In his sermon last Sunday, at Trim
ity Episcopal Church in this city, Rev.
NJ. Chase, touched upon the death of
Miss Clara Gilman. His text was;
"Then cometh the end and after
applying it to the close of the Chris
tian year he said, how these words fall
upon the ear at this time with all
their awful reality and strange i'm
pressiveness. Sense and grief, over
the new maue grave, say, Alasl my
sister; this is the end to
"Briei life is but our portion"
Not so do we speak out of our Chris
tian faith and courage. We exclaim:
Then cometh the end ITO
Brief sorrow; short lived care;
The life that knows no ending
The fearless life, is THERE"
feel that cannot allow this oCca-
sion Of Christian worship to pass with
out a few words at least, in loving
memory of one whose brief life here
has ended, and has gone from her
place HERE in this church, as a faith
full cOmmunicant, to the deeper COM
muniOn with God-in that world of
which the poet sings
"Whose fair ocean has no shore;
Whose bright day no time.
The Christian office for the dead
belongs if it De,ongs to any one by
right TO TIE ONE Who dies, as she
died, in the faith Of her i.c~'
| say this because the fuller office
for the dead, at the church, which
er memory deserved, was denied,
out of consideration for the health of
the living.
In the great Office of the sacrament
of the body and blood of our Lord,
commended her soul to God, and will
| ever forget, at the words of the ben
ediction, how she repeated: "The
Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost
as the source of that peace which
passeth all understanding even in
that dying hour!
Her body was committed to the
ground by the Christian Office for the
dead, and the prayer for the faithful
departed was offered, in hope of a
joyful Resurrection bright day of
which there cometh no end Blessed
memory of the dead, who thus live
and die in the Lord: that memory will
have no end.
