AROUND THE EDGES.

lis With grief that call attention to the
death Of Wilson N. Collins, youth Of some
10 years, with bright prospects before him,
who died at St. Johns, Mich, with typhoid
fever. His remains were brought to this
township by his uncle, Mr.. Thomas Gilson,
and inferred in the cemetery just west OF
town. the funeral being held at the residence
of his mother, Mrs. Lafayette Meeker, Rev.
Donshey, officiating.
Having been his preceptor for some time,
there are none more conversant with the real
goodness and worth of the deceased than my
self. OF quiet and unassuming nature, his
friends were numbered even as his &C
quaintances were, forto know him was to rec
oglize large, honest heart devoid of all
animosity towards his fellow creatures which
always has been and will be so rare among
this busy, eager-to-eIcel, humanity.
He moved to his place of death but a short
time ago and secured employment in the ma
chine shops. quickly establishing a re putation
for honesty, good nature and thrift, being
looked upon by employers and brother work.
men as an employee of inestimable value
and an associate in whom companions de-
light as well as revere. Free from all de-
structive or expensive habits, he laid aside a
snug sum of money and contemplated with
JOY short visit with relatives and school
mates in Napoleon Twp. the first of '91. But
death, the fashion which came in with our first
garments and will go out with our last even
until the end of time, played its unwelcome
hand at the climax. A little exposure in the
performance of his duties, few weeks bat
tie with the inexorable foe, typhoid fever,
and the dissolution of this bright existence
was well on its way.
Earth that nourished him has claimed
His growth to be resolved to earth again.
His visit home was made, but how differ
ent was his arrival hailed from that treas
ured up in his imagination for weeks prior!
Where was to be joy, was lamentation, and the
pleasure anticipated by friends of his pres
ence once more mingling among them, was
supplanted by the last sad rites that surren-
dered up his individual being to mix forever
with the elements.

Two or three members of the Fifty
first congress have occasion to remem-
ber the late General Spinola from the
thrusts he gave them whenever they
offered him battle at repartee. Elijah
Adams Morse, the "Rising Sun" states
man from Canton Mass, is one of these
members. He, in common with many
others, joked the New York man about
his high collars. One day General
Spinola had the floor and was making
a vigorous speech against some parIa-
mentary ruling of the speaker The
general had been overlooked by Speak
er Reed when he was entitled to recog-
milton. He was asserting his rights
when Mr.. Morse interrupted him with
the remark:
"Your collar was so high that the
speaker couldn't see you"
Let me say to the gentleman from
Massachusetts,, retorted General Spin
ola, that if he had on a collar twice
as high as mine he would not be hid
den; it would not cover his ears. "

Tin Mining in England by the Romans.
AS soon as the Romans made con
quest of Britain they formed in the tin
province camps and roads (still visible),
and left behind them vases, urns,
sepalchers, and money that exhibit
daily proofs of their having been a
stationary people in these parts, and
that Damnonium extended even to the
Polerian promenotory or the Lands
End, limited by the western parts of
Somersetshire. The Romans, as is well
known, occupied Britain from b. G. IS
to A. d. 400, or AGA years, during which
period the Cornish tin mines were large
ly worked by the ancient Britains, pos
sibly for their own advantage, but more
probably as serfs, and in A. ID. 400 the
Romans had to give way to the Saxons.
