outside, alleging that criminal inti-
macy had existed for some time and
that the girl made the first advances.

consent, and small and backward for
her age.

Lesson of the rlemoria: Service

=
To the Western News:
The memorial services at the opera
house last Thursday were so highly
satisfactory to the large and intelligent
audience that realized then and at
the present time that it was good to be
there.
The program was good and the
speeches were excellent, creating a
sympathetic harmony and glow of
patriotism which brought to mind the
speech of Abraham Lincoln at the
dedication of the battlefield of Gettys-
burg.
BY the minds eye could be seen the
tall, angular form and solemn visage
cf President Lincoln, while the one
armed soldiers Of an hundred battles
stood about, grasping the full force Of
his soul-stirrsng words, trembling III
every fibre Of their being, with fearful
eyes and arms. extended toward high
heaven, crying, "God bless Abraham
LiDcoln!''
Yes, twas good to be there. to real
ize that ali over this fair land of ours
similar congregations were listening
to the eloqucnce which was dedicating 6
this nation anew to the sacred cause
of humanity. Let no anarchist or ia
natic flatter himself for moment that
the whizzing bullet or assassin's dag
ger can blot out a single star from our
banner or dim the lustre of our glor-
ious freedom. The broad-minded in
telligence of this country is fully
awake to the folly and wickedness of
assassination and will in due time rem
edy the foul blot upon our citizenship.
Allow me, for the sake of complete
ness, to add the closing words of Lin
coins soul-stirring utterances at Get
| tysburg: "The world will little note
nor long remember what we SAY here;
but it can never forget what they DID
here. It is for us. the living, rather,
to be dedicated here to the unfinished
work which they who fought here have
thus far SO nobly advanced. It is,
rather, for us to be here dedicated to
the great task remaining before us;
that from these honored dead we take
increased devotion; that we here high
ly resolve that these dead shall not
have died in vain; that this nation, un-
der God shall have a new birth of free
dom; and that government of the peo-
pie, by the people, and for the people,
shall not perish from this earth.''
The world will largely note and long
remember the solemn speech of Abra.
ham Lincoln at Gettysburg, tor it will
live with his lands language; and this
nation will give the full measure Of
its devotion to the unfinished work o1
our martyred presidents; to the great
task remaining before it; will highly
resolve that these honored dead shall
not have died in vain, and that gov
ernment of the people, by the people
and for the people, shall not perish
from this earth.
Respectfully,

St John, ~. B.. March 1S.-The an
nouncement that new lion and unicorn

difficulty from the burning edificc.
When the church was rebuilt tho coat
Of arms was restored. II l. snll TO be
