Mr. Albert Vanarnam, aged 20 years, son of.ewis Vanarnam, went ont hunting foxes onMday last, and aa he did not come bom*
night Immediate search was made for him, andwas continued till Monday morning, when hewas found In tbe woods northeast of the Catho-lic Church, dead aud frozen, with a frightfulgun shot wound In his thigh aad abdom«n. Hi
i, a double barrel, was found on one tide cump and the body on the other ride, andsupposition is that he reached over tbemp to not bis gun and hit the hammer on theup, and this accidentally discharged It.
Coroner Baker summoned a jury that after-and a verdict was rendered In accord-1th the above facts. Drs. Woodward,
fliyte and Ru!|t are of opinion that death fol->wed In six minutes after the discharge of the
i. The gun was a doable barrel, one bar-for shot and tbe other for ball, and tbe barrel
or shot was empty when found.Some others were out hantlng for foxes at
same time young Vanarnam was, and it Ulittle surprising that some one had not dls-vcrcil the body before.

As all are well aware, several weeks since wioffered the Sentinel for 1879 for $1.60 if paidadvance. The plan works admirably. Ithoa
doubt been observed that the greater por-tion of our lone lists of weekly receipts haibeen to Jan. 1, 1880.
Now, what for the future ? Shall those whoneglected to avail themselves ef this liberaloffer, and who choose to pay for their paperany time along daring the year, or "when It Uconvenient," be allowed the same reduction
certainly not. It would be a gross injus-tice to those who come forward so promptly,
ip old scores and pay for their paper In:e. Many have pot themselves to con-
siderable inconvenience and made noriflce in order to meet our conditions ofad-
ince payment And shall those who choose to•gleet our offer, and pay for their paper when
It suits tbelr own convenience, reap the sameadvantage that they do ? Every reader willconcede that this would not be fair. Farther-more, it would entirely defeat the plan of ad-vance payments. It will bo remembered bymany that onr original terms for the Sentinel
$3 a year in advance. These terms willhe found still printed In our card on the flrslpage, the same as they have been for the ladten years. Bnt one class of our subscribershave held that we could afford to wait a fewmonths; another class have held that If wecould wait a few months we could wait a yearand another class that If we could wait oae
we could wait two, and another class thatcould wall two we could wait three, and
so on Indefinitely, until, In spite of our frequentirgent solicitations for money, our accountsun up to about fTTOOO. This is more of a loadban we can carry conveniently, and we have
resolved that advance payment in the futureD what It says, and that those who
put themselves out to comply with our terms•hall reap the benefit.
do not make these remarks In a spirit ofcensure or complaint, but only to show thatwe owe it both to onrselvea and our patrons tcsee that we carry out as nearly as possible whatwe advertise.
TIME EXTE5BBD ONE MONTR.A« this Is a new departure, and many of om
readers may not have fully understood the situ-Ion, we have decided to grant one montfaV.-tension of time. We do this to remove the
slightest cause for complaint. It shall not boid to our charge that we have been exacting,have taken any unfair advantage: There-
fore, all accounts settled to Jan. 1, 1880, duringthe month of January, will be treated the same
:o payment. If not paid daring themonth of January, our terms for tho Sentinelfor 1879, will be *3.00 a year. These conditionswill be strictly enforced.
Of course there Is nothing compulsory Inthis matter. Our subscribers can take theirchoice between the old plan and the new.
A WORD TO OUR OX.D PATRONS.To the old friends and supporters of the Sen-
tinel, who have always or usually paid prompt-ly, we wish to say a word. We ask you to aid
in making this new plan of advance pay-nit, which you know is the true pla
plete and triumphant success. The aid whichmany have rendered us would promptdeal In the most liberal manner, and the matterof fifty cents would be utterly insignlflc*compared with their kind regard and good wi
were to break over tbe rales out of;lon or deference for a class of oui
readers, the whole plan of advance pay memwould be frustrated at the outset and rendered
complete failure. We therefore appeal toonr friends not to place us in this embarrassingposition, but to come forward, every one, andplace themselves in line, and by their exampleand iDfluence, help us to make this plan, whichthey certainly approve, a complete success. Itwill benefit us and you. It will enablepublish a better paper, by giving as a third
ore time to devote to our paper which we now»ve to give to collecting old acconnU. It willive you the annoyance of reading frequentans in the paper, which we are often absolute-r compelled to make in order to raise theinds to meet oar current expenses.Next week we shall state definitely our pi
Met la regard tooar large account* which hayet received no attention.
Finally, we wish you all a Happy New Tear,and hope to see all of your names in or 'umn of receipts before the month of Ji"iall pass away.
