Tuesday, Oct. 49,, 1851, at 8 a. NJ. i.
Fmrelly, native Of County Cavan, Ire
land, aged 81 years.
Never of robust health, Mr.. Farrclly
had been suffering for some time with
fever and a general lctting-down of the
system, until death came with its bene-
diction upon his wasted body, and his
brave spirit met the end of earth without
shrinking and with calm faith in ii higher
life.
The deceased came to this cour try when
but nineteen years of ago, and had
been resident of this place about 80
years where he was n respected citizor He
leaves wife to Whom he had been mar
ricd twentyseyen years, and who had
been his playmate and schoolmate Gin
the old country" she havin.; arrived here
in 1870. He leaves no children or other
relatives, hit his death is not unmourncd,
for ho had many friends
He wab laid to rest in tho old grave
yardj Rev. Father Thovis reforming over
his grave the last rites of the RomanCath-
olic Church, of which he was u staunch
member. The pall-bearers were A. s.
Brassoau~, Jos. Meyer, Geo. Ruttiy, ".
W. Leake Jr., T. F. Corrigan and Geo.
Baer.
His widow has the sympathy of all in
her sore bereavement, bnt sne bears the con-
ISOLATION Of his gool name, upon which
there rests the impless of the simple dig
nifty, the stern integrity of his lie.
PERCY-At tho homo of her grand
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Percy, il.
West Fcliclana parish, La Wednesday,
Oct. 20, 1887 at y. m, Jane Howell Percy
infant daughter of j. II. and Christine IL.
Percy, aged 9 mos. and days. Interment
in Grace Church cemetery.
"All things that we clasp and cherish,
Fade like dreams we may not keep"
So sings the sweet German poet, Heine,
expressing fact common in our human
experience, but how doub]y, trebly sad
it is, when it relates to an infant that
death has spatched from our fbid embrace.
The sweet dream vanished that made
glorious the dark hours of the night !
Tho bright hopes persisted that blossomed
forth like morning glorics upon the fresh
air of tho new day!
For Though the little life may cover
bnt a brief period of time, the baby of
the household finds it's Way Into every
heart, twining itself into tile deepest re-
cesses of ones inner nature, so that the
place is left bare and desolate when it
is wrenched away Thus felt the hearts
that loved little Jennie, SO dear in her
hclp]essness, 50 winning in her weakness,
SO precious because of the very suffering
that bound her to life.
But the little human plant was all too
frail to take root in the sterile soil of
earth, the tender fibres beat upon the rock
in vain for entrance into some creyice
where it could find life and shelter, and
80 it has been transplanted to - fairer
land, more genial cline, where the plant
let will thrive and grow and bloom in
loneliness, nourisled by heavenly dow and
sunshine, watched and tended by angels,
and smiled upon by the loving God.
Then are not all things we'll with little
Jennie nows Let us weep no more.

Just as no man by taking

just as a. desert will blossom

Lafayette Light Guards. /"

On Thursday last, the survivors of
Co. &C" of the 10th New York Unfit.
met in this village in annual reunion.
The following old veterans of the COM
pany were present: Capt j. Nj. Long
well, Lieut.. L. j Chaffee, A. j Roundy,
John Rickard, j W Emery, Benz. Holt,
A w. Cummings, Art Shrine and Nathan
Hurlbut of Paw Paw, Ii. b. Myers, Ed
Carney and John Barnum of Decatur,
s. w Perry of Carson City, Mark
Worthington of Vicksburg, James Clark
of Pine Grove, John Chevalier of May
wood, Neb, and Jacob Clark of Berla
mont, who was member of Co. "A" of
the same regiment.
Dinner was served at the Dyckman
House, which was elegantly decorated
with the national colors, prominent
among them being the old silk flag pre-
scented to the company by the ladies of
this village when the boys entered the
service and which, riddled and torn as
it is, is regarded as sacred by those to
whom il represented so much in all the
long weary years that they CALAMITY
bore it in the very fore front of battle
The boys ordered glass case in which
TO keep this cherished memento, and it
will remain at the Dyckman house in
custody of Capt. Longwell. This was
the first company recruited in Van
Buren, county, being then known as the
Lafayette Light Guard, named after
this township, which was then called
Lafayette. After vainly seeking to
enter the service of their country 10
some Michigan regiment and being re-
pulsed on every hand, and being told
that the quota of this state was already
filled, on the 18th day of June, 1861,
clad in red flannel shirts, blue denim
trousers and glazed caps, the company,
led by Messrs. Cummings and Billiard,
dell and Billy" the afterward famous
fifer and drummer, playing 1.-The Girl
Left behind Me-" marched to Lawton,
where they took the train for New
York, To which state their services had
been offered and accepted, and were
soon mustered in as constituent part
of the famous Sickles brigade, Before
the company again saw Michigan,
many of the brave boys, who so proud
~ marched away on that beautiful June
morning, had laid down their lives for
their country, for no drawer, better sol
diers than they ever handled musket
or stood In the face of an enemy, and
none have better right to the thanks
of grateful country and the respect
and love of their fellow citizens. They
resolved to hold future reunions on the
18th of June, the anniversary of the day
they left Van Buren, county. Lieut..
Chaffee was elected president of the
company and A. j. Roundy, secretary.

THE MATINEE.
The Most Successful Event of the Kind
for Some Time.

The Most Successful Event of the Kind
for Some Time.
Saturdays matinee was attended by
good turn out, the gate receipts and
entrance fees being more than enough
TO pay all purses and expenses; in fact,
more than that was done, as every
horse that started was given prize, as
was also every starter in the bicycle
race The racing was close and eXcit-
ing, although, owing TO the strong
wind, the time was not fast. The only
disappointment was in the failure to till
the free-for-all, but in place of this
event, Billy Medium made an effort TO
beat the half mile track record of Ito,
made by himself in July last, and sue
