EDITORAL NOTES.
We stand upon the threshhold of an-
other year. A few hours more and
1896 will have gone into the past never
to return. This is a time that should

come up to the full measure of duty
and opportunity. Sull many have

by past experiences, forgetting the error
that are behind, and with.faces to the
rosy new year resolve to turn over a
new leaf and make it the best of our
life.

the loss of human life and the damage to
crops, buildings and animals have been
extremely heavy. It isestimated that,
from May 18 to May 27, 1,200 persons
lost their lives in storms which raged in
a radius of 450 miles of Chicago. But
the force of the wind in the locality
named was but as a zephyr compared, to
48. Disaster: 56 deaths in a coal mine disaster
near Cardiff.
