 IN MEMORIAM.
 In the death of Marshall $. Otis, loyal husband, a loving father, kind neighbor, good citizen, d devoted Christian has been removed from us. Like a sheaf of wheat, fully ripe, he has been gathered to his fathers, and in the rest of paradise awaits the con- of bliss that shall come on the resurrection day. It is not the present purpose to write his eulogy. His own sensitive nature would have Shrunken from that, and he needs no other eulogy than what comes to us through the life he lived. His service was never that of an eye servant. A thoroughly conscientious man, his greatest concern was to know what was right, and then to go and do it. We do we'll to mourn the loss of such, even though they may be living on borrowed time, for their presence in a community is benediction. AS we pause moment, in the hurry and scurry of life, to reflect upon the vir- tues of the departed, let it animate us to the better use of our speeding time, and then we will not have paused for naught. Righteousness exalteth a nation." So is every town or cOmmuni- ty exalted as it's individual members learn, as whole, to deal justly, love mercy, and walk humbly before God. D. l. Johnson.
