Death was singularly active in Euphrasia ou Friday last. During the afternoon, Thomas W. Longhead, son of Mr. James Longhead, of the 4th line, was called away, and an hour or two later, just as the sun was sink- ing beneath the western hills, his uncle, Thomas Keid, of the 7th line, succumbed to the fell destroyer. Neith- er of these deaths was entirely unex- pected as both gentlemen had been ailing for a length of time from con- sumption. Each bore his contiiraed suffering with christian resignation. Mr. Beii had been confined to his house for more than a year. His once rugged form was wasted to an almost incredible extent, and at last his fea- tures were scarcely recognizable. Death was indeed to him a relief. Mr. Longhead was but thirty years of age. He was much respected and his early death will be deplored by all. The sympathy of the community will be felt for his widow, who is the eldest daughter of Mr. James Curry, and for- the other surviving relatives. â€" Mirror Varsonala.

Sib. â€" -On entering a neighbor's house recently I was shocked and pained to hear the man of the house pour out a volley of oaths and curses at his loving but heart-broken wife. 1 think it a shame and disgrace fur any person presuming to be a man to thus cruelly wound the feelings and crush the affections of a faithful wife and loving mother whom he has promised to love, eherish and protect one who toils early and late iu order to make home happy. How much better it would be for all concerned if a right example were set to those little ones by kindness, forbearance and true flection. A Heabeb.
