cember 2sth, 1891, at noon, suddenly, Be
nard, eldest son Of Thomas II. Murray, Bry
antown, in the eighteenth year of bis age
Deeply regretted.
Take comfort, parents, when your boy
In Jesus fell asleep;
His better being never ends,
Why then detected weep?
Why inconsolable, as those
To whom no hope is given?
Death is the messenger of peace,
And calls the soul TO heav'n.
Whate'er we fondly call our own
Belongs to heavns great Lord;
The blessings lent us for day
Are soon to be restored.
It's God that lifts our comforts high,
Or sinks them in the grave.
He gives and, when be takes away,
He t1kes but what he gave.
AS Jesus dy'd and rose again
Victorious from the grave;
So shall his followers rise, and reign
With their triumphant Head.
A few short years of evil past,
We reach the happy shore,
Where death-diviied friends at last
Shall meet to part no more.

Countr Commissioners Meeting -rhe


County Commissioners met on Tuesday last.
Semi annual interest on county bonds was
paid. A resolution was adooted-after a
strong appeal was made by Mr.. Charles A.
Cox to take up for consideration at future
meeting the taxation Of dogs, which, if il
does not lessen the number of dogs, will at
least provide fund out Of which farmers can
be reimbursed for damage done to their val
liable focxs Of sheep by worthless ours
The legislature by recent act Of assembly
delegated power to County Commissioners to
make such regulations as they saw fit in
such cases, and we record with pleasure the
evident intention Of the present beard to
make a move in the matter. A proper en-
sorcement of a dog law will be the means of
greatly increasing valuable industry and
will at the same time cause the death of num-
berless dogs of no value whatever. Let the
tax be put on BY all means.
