A Curious EIpItapli.

In collection OF curosities OF
church yard literature is found the
following epitaph which was placed
over the grave OF a Welshman:
Here lies in horizontal position
the outside case Of George Rutleigh,
matchmaker. whose abilities in that
line were an honor to his profession.
Integrity was the handspring and
prudence tho regulator of all tho
actions OF his life. Humane, honest
Industrious. his hands never stopped
until they had relieved distress. He
had the art of disposing OF his time in
such way that he never went wrong
except whom set a-going by persons
who did not know his key and even
then was easily set right again. He
departed this life November z. 1911,
wound up IN the hope OF being taken
in hand by his Maker, thoroughly
cleaned. regulated and repaired. and
set a-going in the world to come. y

Obituary..

1t is sad task to chronicle the tale
of death even when told of him who is
gathered unto his fathers as the sheaf of
ripened grain is garnered in; but when
it must be written of one standing in
the dawning of manhood, it is sadder
still, and the pen falters over its mourn
full theme.
On the 9th of July, 1878, Percy, the
only son of Mr.. and Mrs. r. M Buck,
first saw the light of day in Hamil-
ton township, removing with his parents
to this place when yet small boy,
throughout his brief life being sheltered
by his parents from every earthly trial
save those inseparable from delicate
health.
Hand in hand with his sister Gertrude,
who is but sixteen months younger, he
had passed through the different phases
of school-life until they stood side by
side i'm the class of '92, looking fondly
forward TO the well-earned hOnors of
Commencement week
In February an attack of grip had
laid the foundation of the heart trouble
that soon developed, and Percy was
several times compelled to leave school
for short period; still, he could not
contemplate the thought of his class
graduating without him, and so per-
severingly labored on with his Grafton
until it was completed. But when the
longed for week arrived, the ambitious
boy lay in the grasp of Death, with
every breath struggle, while loving
friends and sorrowing classmates
hoped vainly for his recovery. Without
one murmur he bore the pain, till on
the eve of the graduating exercises all
hope faded away, and it was scarcely
thought he could survive the night;
yet he fingered until Sunday evening
and then passed into "the dawning" of
that other life where there shall be no
more night.
The obsequies occurred this morning
at the home, and were largely attended
by his young friends, also by Brodhead
Post, of which the father of deceased
is Commander. Rev. A. G. Jones offici-
ated, and the remains were laid in their
last resting place on Prospect Hill by
the hands of loving school-mates.

evening, July 7th Addresses will be
made by Colonel Dean, Past Post Com
mander Heckert, Asst Adj't Gen. Pond,
Past Department Commander Eaton,

ton, in behalf of the village authorities,

Everybody is invited.
With this weeks issue we lay down
the editorial pen for the summer, ex-
pecting to start July s for a trip down
the st. Lawrence and across Lake
Champlain to Saratoga, where the Ma
tional Educational Association will be
in session. Thence we intend going to
Albany to take the boat down the Hud-
son To West Point; after which trip
into New England and down to the sea-
shore will consume the rest of our vaca-
tion. We trust to find some spot in our
rambles where headaches are never
known, and so be able to return re-
freshed and ready for another winters
work.
The pupils of what is known as the
Richmond school have the honor
of holding the first commencement ex-
ercises ever undertaken in our rural
schools, and on Tuesday evening, June
81, three "sweet girl graduates" robed
in white stood forth on the beautifully
decorated stage and delivered the es-
says that completed their work. The
graduates were Misses Ella Taylor,
Lena Moshier, and Mabel Beebe. The
teacher is Miss Maggie Reynolds, who
has completed the grading of the school
so carefully that arrangements have
been made whereby a diploma admits
to our Union school without examina-
ton, and all three of the young ladies
intend to avail themselves of this privi-
lege. The grading Of our country
schools is step in the right direction,
and all progressive teachers like Miss
Reynolds deserve much commendation

Leading Republican Newspaper of Van
Buren County.

We could but smile little at the as
surance with which Editor Rowland
sent out his last issue of the Decatur
Republican bearing the above heading,
basing his assertion on the fact that, in
the papers of the preceding week, the
Republican chanced to contain 1859
inches of original matter, as against
1866 inches in the NORTHERNER.
Now, we submit that is hardly fair to
take any one issue AS a criterion. to say
nothing of the fact that the "original"
printed matter of that particular num-
ber of the Republican was swelled by
compilation of vital statistics taken
from the supervisors reports of the va
rious townships, which occupied l-5
columns.
We have been doing a little in the
measuring line ourselves this week,
and find that our last weeks issue con-
tanned exactly the 169 inches of which
the Republican boasts, and was all live
matter, too. A few weeks before that
we find our columns containing 1877
inches, while this week we give our
readers 2l9 inches of original printed
matter.
Now, Brother Rowland, if you will
just apply the tape line to all the issues
since Jan. 1. 1892, we'll consider that
fair test, and do not hesitate to assert
that the NORTHERNER would be ahead
by at least One-quarter of the whole
amount.
