Mr. Willis, a man of mature years, was a successful student at Franklin [Delaware Co. NY] in his younger days; has seen both the hard and soft side of mining life in California, returning to his native town after marvelous hardships to resume the life of a farmer. He served his district in the legislature with ability and yields at last to his own wishes and those of his numerous friends to enter upon professional life. He enters the bar not older than many other men who have achieved both legal distinction and pecuniary success. We feel sure that many old associates will join us in extending congratulation.

Death
The tragic death of Mrs. J.B. Kirkhuff has cast a gloom over the whole community, and all hearts sympathize with the afflicted family in their great distress.
Mrs. Kirkhuff was a cultured and refined lady, modest and unassuming in her manners. Her loss will be deeply felt in the family, where she was a faithful and affectionate wife and mother; and in the church, of which she was a consistent and devout member. But it is our comfort that we sorrow not as those who have no hope. She sleeps in Jesus. the weary head and aching heart are forever at rest. Her ransomed spirit is in joy and felicity in the Paradise of God. Cheered by this hope, our grief for her loss loses its sting and it is not so hard for us to say "God's will be done." A.W.C.
