Hon. E. H. Mills. We have already MOTTO
ed the death of this gentleman, which happen
ed at Northampton, on the 5th inst. His age
was SO. In the Hampshire Gazette we find
the following brief obituary
1t is now more than two years since linger-
ing disorder removed the subject of this article
in the prime of life and of usefulness from
career of high distinction in the various pursuits
of society. In his profession Mr.. Mills had
risen to the highest rank as iurist and par
tlcularly as an advocate; and for many years
he was confessedly at the head OF the bar in the
Western part of this state.
HIS political life is fresh in the memory of all.
He was for long period member of our state
legislature in both its branches, and as such
was a decided and efficient but candid and un-
blemished politician. During the war of 1912
he was one of the leaders of the Federal Party
in this state, and was the author of the Address
of the House of Representatives to the People
of Massachusetts protesting against that meas
ure. He was afterwards repeatedly elected a
Representative from this state in Congress,
and was twice chosen a member of the Senate
vi Ilc OHileu OIdLeS III winch station he re-
NAMED until his strength failed. To what de-
gree of influence he attained there, and in what
estimation he was held, no one is ignorant;
and the sense Of public deprivation which fol-
lowed his retirement from his duties as a states
man and lawyer was profound and universal
The close of his life peaceful, while all
that sustained him, in the near approach of
DEATH. was a hnmbie and trembling hope,
through the merits Of the Saviour, of a blessed
Immortality.
- CURIOUS EFFECTS OF DISAPPOINTED LOVE.
The week before last, case was brought be-
fore the sheriff of Butte of rather an extraordi-
nary nature. 1t was at the instance of the Pro-
curator Fiscal, against farm servant for
tering the barn of farm there, and tying all
his cows together by their tails. The motive
alleged for this singular act of malevolence
was disappointment in love; the defendant
having paid his addresses to one of the farmers
servant girls, who would have nothing to do
with him. He then thought of expressing at
once his grief and Indignation through the me-
dunn of the cows; and to be sure the below
ing and rage of the poor animals, when thus
strung together, are described as being truly
dreadful. The noise was. heard at an incred-
Bile distance, and when the cause of it was as
certained, it was waggishly observed that farm
er Ms cows had certainly laid their tails
if rot their heads together to disturb the repose
of the whole neighborhood. The charge hav-
ing been clearly made out against the prisoner,
the Sheriff Substitute, after admonishing him
in strong terms upon the cruel, unmannerly,
and misehievous nature of his crime, sentenced
him to pay fine of G3, and to be imprisoned
until payment should be made.
