Stackbouse, of Oswego, suffer d a sad bereavement last week in the death of their infant child, which had been quite sick for a week or more. ' Death of Mr. . . Baker At 2 o'clock la9t Thursday morning death put an end. to ihe pain and suffering that Mr. R. t*. Baker had borne with a calm and patient endurance for more than four months1 When tbe summons came to put a side earthly things and enter into the life spiritual and eternal, through the dark portals of the grave, he obeyed calmly, cheerfully and without tbe least fear. He was not one of those who welcome death as relief from a life grown distasteful, for he was in the prtnre of life, actively engaged in business, and with a wife and child'en to whom he was devotedly at tached, but hie long and painful sickness had t*xsdTii9 remarkable powers of endurance to the extreme limit, and when be realized that his end was but a question of bou-s, he was resigned to the will of hie Maker, ?Dto whose merciful care he coosigned his seul nod the loved ones whom he left bereft of hueband and father. There is no nobler, no grander spectacle than tbe courage that is unfailing, unfaltering boors in the of severest test. This courage our friend possessed, and through tbe months that he suffered, almost without hope of recovery from the first, be was as cheerful and as genial when he was able to see bie friends, as when in tbe fullness cf health and strength. It is such cases as this that enables one to fully appreciate the worth and strength of a char acter, and those who claimed Harry Baker as a friend know how great is their loss, how true a band has been clasped for the last time and what a brave and staunch character is no more.
