OBITUARY - Scarcely had this neighborhood ceased lamenting the sudden and unexpected death of Miss Hannah Thompson by the lightning stroke than another in the family is visited by the angel of death, and one of the inmates summoned to the world of spirits. On the 4th of October Mr. Jas. Cornfield's daughter, Fanny, was called to exchange time for eternity. A little over a year before her death, she had an attack of inflammatory rheumatism form which she never fully recovered. All that kind hearts could suggest and willing hands could do was done to remove the disease, but of no avail. Fanny possessed a quiet, genial disposition to all, and was beloved by the young people; and being brought up under the care of a godly mother, was doubtless early impressed with the reality there is in the religion of Jesus. She passed away peacefully from the toils and trials of earth to enjoy the rest of Heaven. How admonitory to the young people of the neighborhood to be also ready, "for in such an hour as they know not, the Son of Man cometh." Rev. Thos. Grandy A YOllt M itsi i:ir- TIO.XS.

When some poor unfortunate, who can scarcely provide his family with Jg8 fts wei , the common necessaries of life, is driven by very desperation to steal a fish, or a piece of meat, or a loaf of bread, to keep them from starving, society stands aghast, and the poor beggar is at once subjected to the most scathing denunciations.

Perhaps the " mighty arm " is paralyzed at the magnitude of the offence.

Very "even-handed justice " this I This reminds us of a peculiar circumstance in connection with the publication of articles, anent certain crimes against morality, in city and country papers. Scarcely a day passes in which the columns of our city dailies and weeklies do not teem with articles headed. "Horrible (Jot- rage on a Little Girl," and all other kinds of sensational heading.*. These articles tell of fearful deeds committed in broad day-light, or under the black mantle of night; in the shuns of the city, or on some public high-way, or in some lonely place where none but tie all-seeing .eye of God could possibly at-e tht perpetration of the damnable deed. Here a yonng girl, only seventeen years) cf age, it found on the road-side, in a lonely place ; her hair matud with dirt, IcaTes of the forcut, and blood ; blood on her hands, blood on the leaves, and all the signs of a violent struggle for the possession of her woman's dearest treasure. She is found laying on her Lack, her clothes torn aad soiled, and her throat cut dead I A little girl, only 10 years of age is found in al- most a similar position, with this difference, life is not yet extinct, hue ia carried home to her heart-broken parents, but only lives a few hours. And so, day after day, we read of aiuiiliar tragedies in the daily paporn, and |aro shocked, more or IH.S, to think what a large number of wicked people there must be in the world.

There aro five polling subdivisions in the Township, and the Reevt a anl Councillors are elected by a vote of all the ratepayers in the Township. Where Townships are divided into polling subdivisions in this way, the elections aro usually very lively. We understand that Mr, J. J. Middlctou will be a candidate for the Uceveship of Proton. There is no doubt, but that such an experienced municipal man as Middlcton will be elected. He is the best man in the Township for the position.
