the right ring. He said: A lawye,

Eff facts, or in any other means not
within the spirit, as well as the let,

enemy to society.
An enemy to society. Well socie-
~ has always had its enemies, and
u is well within the province of
those who are looking to its inter

and We believe the victory won, and
that the pure soul of Mrs. Wood is
basking. in the sunshine of a Saw
iour's love. We shall never forget
the last conscious hand grasp she
gave the writer, and although un-
able to utter word, that grasp
spoke volumes. In the passing away
of Mrs. Wood, a good woman has
gone to her eternal reward. and we
earnestly pray Gods blessings upon
the disconsolate hrsband, the moth

sweet little girls, Martha and Joe,
aged 10 and l2 respectively. May
the great God, who 'tempers the
wind to the shorn lamb" raise them
up friends, who may, at least, take
the place of mothers love and coun'
sci to some extent.

born teacher, being in the right
place as Prof. of Pedagogy in the
University. The University is do

her professors to lecture upon sub

tion, which will inure to the inter,
ests of the entire state, and our peo'
pie should fully appreciate these
efforts.
