THREE VICTIMS IN TWO YEARS.

In the past couple of years the remains of three Jasper county boys who have met voilent death at or near Hammond, have been brought to Rensselaer for burial. All were fine young men, industrious, economical and of good habits, who were trying to better themselves in the battle of life. Had they stuck to the farm they would likely all have been living to-day. The lesson of their sad ending should not be lost upon the farmer boj* who has a desire to go to city and engage in some occupation less prosiac than farming.
