DEATHS.—Death is no respecter of persons. The young the old and the middle-aged are alike the objects of the fell reaper. We are called upon this week to record the death of one in middle life, Mrs. M. V. Diehl, of the 5th con., who died in the Hospital at Clinton, on Monday, Jan. 10, at the age of 31 years. Deceased had never complained of being i11, until about a week before her death, although she bad been losing in flesh, and on Thurs- day week did her own housework. On Friday she became much worse and was advised by her physician that she had better be removed to the hospital, to which place she was taken Satur- day. A censultation was held, but it was decided that an operation would be of no service, owing to her weaken- ed condition and the septic nature of her trouble, which proved to be true. Deceased waw a daughter of Edward Tyndall. of Blues -ale. She was a quiet and industrious woman, an affection- ate wife and mother and an active and consistent member of the Methodist church, Varna. Besides her sorrow- ing husband she leaves two children, Bertha Mildred, aged 10, and Edward Gordon, aged 7, to mourn the loss of a prudent wife and indulgent mother.

We com- mend the bereaved ones to the care of tbe All -wise one.–The uncertainty of life was brought home to many of the resident in this township, when it. be- came known on Friday that Gilbert Dowson, son of Henry Dowaon, of this township, had been called to meet his Maker, after a brief illness of a few hours that morning. Deceased was engaged in doing the chores on the farm on Thursday when be was seized with aanattack of appendicitis; septic condition followed, which was the im- mediate came. of death. This was not his fltst attack, he having experienotel the same painful ordeal on set eral oc- casions, anti fighting there through expecting that each succeeding attack would be the last; but recovery was evidently not for him, the Angel of death claiming him as a victim when in the prime of life, he being but 29 years of age. The tonere!, which was held Sunday, was largely attended, notwithstanding the severe weather. The C.O.F. of Clint on, of which deceas- ed was a member, took charge of the funeral. A number of beautifoi florid tributes were placed on the coffin. We unite with many others in extending to the bereaved family our deepest sympathy. it is just about three years since a sister died from the same trouble.

A Reign of Terror in St. Petersburg. Sunday wits a day of horror in the Russian Capital. The strikers, goad- ed to despoiation by a day of violence, fury and bloodshed, ate in a state of open insurrection. The city is under martial law, with 50,000 troops hiv- ouackiug in the streets, while the strike's have thrown tap barricades and are opposing the troops. 100,000 strikers anxious Wpt•eaenta petition to the Emperor, were timet by a solid array of troops, who the sever- al volleys at the stmikets and then clru gad theta with bayonet and saint.. The best estimate of those killed is 500 although 1here are exaggerattedfigures placing the number as high as 0,001). Many 111(1 were accompanied by their wives and rhmldren, and in the confits• ion which left no time for discriumina- tion the latter shared the fate of the meth The troops, wIl1 the exception of a single regiment. which is reported to have throw 11 down its arms, reu►in- ed loyal and obeyed orders. But the blood which crimsoned the snow has h passions Heed the reins and ) ss n of the i sitiket s a Id turned women as veli as men into wild beasts, ;and the cry of the infuriated populace is for vengence. The sympathy of the middle classes is with the workmen. Gorky, the Russian novelist, said to the Associated Press:--"To-day inatng- utated revolution in Russia. The Em- peror's prestige will be irrevocably shattered by the shedding of innocent blood. He has alienated himself for- ever from his people. Gopon, the mas- ter mind of the movement, taught the workmen to believe that an appeal di- rect to the "Little Father" would be heeded. They have been undeceived. Gopon is now convinced that peaceful tneans have failed and that the only remedy is force. The first blood has been shed, but more will follow. It is now the people against the n p►'essors, and the battle will be fought to the bitter end." The scenes of the great French revo- lution may berepeated in Russia. To understand how the present po- sition has arisen it is necessary to know what the people have to put up with. Here are a few causes:— General strike in St. Petersburg; disaffection in the army; great activi- ty of the nihilists both at home and abroad; ruinous industrial depression; crushing effect of heavy taxes; grow- ing insolence of the btireaucrafts; rev- olutionary unrest in Finland; riots in various towns festering to sedition; tevetieb conditions in Poland; perils of international complications; students in all the big cities ripe for revolt; the war with Japan; growing dissatisfac- tion with church rule; shocking ineffic- iency of officials in all departments of goverment; gross corruption in army and navy circles, whose shameless "graft" and looting have eaten into the public funds; worthlessness of the army and navy that has coat billions; general demand for a representative government; oppression of the police system; shameful conditions affecting the judiciary, who owe their office more to favor than to ability. Whalen The roads are in good condition at present around here, and farmers are busy hauling material for buildinlz purposes.—Quite a number of our resi- dents are on the sick list.— Mr. Joseph Morley, who has been sick, is recover- ing; and the family of Mr. George 'Alison, after a siege of diphtheria, are improving.—A literary meeting was held at Mrs. C. J. Avery's home on Tuesday night and a goofs time was sdent.--Daniel Hodgson was visiting friends in Exeter last week.—Hogs have taken a rise in price and the far- mers are consequently pleased.
