OBITUARY.

Mrs. EMILY JuDsoN (FAsSv FORESTER ~
Mrs. Emily Judson,wldow Of tho late Adoniram
Judson, missionary TO burmah. and probably
known in the literary world as "Fanny Forest
er," died at her residence in Hamilton, Madi-
son county, New York, after a lingering illness,
on Thursday, lst instant, aged about forty
years.
The maiden namo ol this lady,so highly celc-
braled in religious and literary circles was
Emily Cbubbuck. Her native place was Ea-
ton Madison county New York. She first be-
came known to the public as a writer of peri
odicals, and under the assumed namc of"Fan
ny Forester" she acquired great reputation
as writer of refined taste and style of com.
position which was much admired os unique
and attractive, while the morality Of her pro.
ductions bore striking cantrnnst to many Of
tho eplcmcral works of her cotemporaries.- =
Her success as writer for periodicals induced
Miss Chubbuck to appear under her literary
cognomcn of "Fanny Forester" as author Of
.'Aidcrbrook,' and other volumes in the school
of light literature all inculcating moral lessons
and tending to incrcase her reputation as n
female writer of great dclecacy and elegance
Of style
In june 1916, while she was in tho height
of her literary popularity, Miss CIubbuck as
tonishcd her many admirers by an entiro
change in her career and pursuits, in anncun-
cling hor resolution TO devote herself to mis-
sionary life and of course leaving her native
country with but doubtful prospects of future
roiurn to her relatives and friends. At that
time she became The third wife Of Row Adoni-
ram Ju1son, ID. d., Baptist missionary to Bur-
nah. in Asia. and on tho 18th of Jnly sho en-
barkcd with her husband and other uissiona-
rics, in tho ship Fancuil Hall, from Boston foi
India. They arrived at their place Of dosina-
lion in tho month of November following.
Tho Rev DIR. Judson was ono Of tho most
remarkable mon among American missionary
and enjoyed u high reputation in, the Baptist
church. iIe was n native Of Massachusetts.
and was born in 1888. IIc was educated aid
ordained as clergyman of the Congregation
al shurch, and in 1871 was sent by tho Mis-
sionary Society of that sect TO Burmal. in
company with the Rev. Mr.. Nowcll. Tho mis-
sionary labors of DIR. Judson in Bnrmah or
Eastern India extended over period of about
thirty nine years terminating with his death in
September, 1850. WhiIc in Burmah his views
respecting baptism underwent a change in con-
sequence of which Inc left the Congregational
lists in 1914 and joined the Baptist church.
Soon after tho dcath Of her husband Mrs.
Judson returned TO tho United States, and for
the last two years has been in somewhat feeble
health. Her publications since her return
have rot boon numerous. Among them is on
"Olio of Domestic Verses
In her personal appearance this lady was
prcposscssing and pleasing, and agreeable in
her manners and conversation. BY an exten-
sive circo ei friends and acquantances sho
was highly esteemed for her Christian virtues
and litcrarl taste and attainmpnis.

people gathered to witness tho final close OF
tho fugitive case. Thousands were present

At the corner of Stateand Washington SITS,
a quantity of snuff, cowitch and a bottlo of Wit

In tho vicinity of tho Custom House, a

BATTLE or PEREGRIso

The Uaircrsal Of the 9TH inst. contains
long account of what it claims to DO victory
on the part Of Santa Anna against Alvarez
at pass in the mountains called Pcregrino.
The government account is 10 tho effect that
while Santa Anna was engaged In taking tho
fort of San Diego in Acapulco, Alvarez and
Moreno secretly Withdrew tho bulk of their
forces from The city. and by circuitous paths
| throw themselves into tho rear of Santa Anna
and joining with those bands who had boeD
| left 10 gnard the passes, fortified themselves at
| n strong position called Pcregrino, to prevent
his retreat being cut off.
Santa Anna, leaving Acapulco besciged.
pushed forward with 800 picked infantry aud
four pieces of artillery. Pcrcgrino is described
as place well defended by lis natural position
being unassaiiablc except in front. Santa An
ma determined to carry it by storm. As thev
marched up tho hill to tho attack, they were
received by ell-drcctcd fire of muskctry IN
front and OH tho Ganks. Tho rey0lptionists
were forced from position to position at the
point Of The bayonet, and aficr vigorous re-
sistancc. were driven into Notifications on tho
summit Of the hill. and were driven thcncc and
completely routed and compelled 10 fly.
In the meantime n convey, which had bccn
loft at .9gua del Perro, about league and
half in tho rear, was attacked by a force of 500
ilicn, SuppoScu 10 Uc lCdu ny MOHTOcs Out uttcF

force also was defeated, and, as tho papers say

No precise dato is given Of tho baltic Of
Percgrino, but as Santa Anna loft Acapulco on
tho oath of tho month, It must have tpkpn place
if at all, somewhere between tho two dates.
The Same dispatch, giving an account of tho
battle, says to the effect that Santa Anna is
convinced that If tho roblos will not meet him
in tho open field, they are determined not to
return to their obcdionce to their government,
opd that it is therefore his intention to confino
tho war to its present limits; ho has accord
ingly, separated his army into three DIVISIONS,
and stationed them respectively at Ayutla. a

The Pacific gailroad.

We cherish an ardent. and llnwayering faith
in the feasibility as we'll as importance of q
Direct Railroad to the Pacific faith not on
" that it sriH be built sometime. and prove
blessing to mankind, tut that ii ought to be
built forthwith, and would prove a profitable
investment from the start. In other words
we believe the property that would be created
by the construction of this r0ad-thc value
that would be given by it to lands, mines, TIM
Der, and other natural resources which in its
absence have little or no value, would more
than balance its cost; so that the work itself
would be so much clear gain. And while we
would not like to see sovaSt a work undlertaken
or managed by any Goveunenment, ne deci-
dedly favor the granting Of elective aid by our
Federal Government to any responsible and
capable. association which viii undertake the
work. Ia our Judgment the Government ought
to advance Thirty Millions in Cash TO any
Company that would agree TO connect the
Mississippi with the Pacific by railroad with
in five years, and to spend One Million of its
own paid-up capital as preliminary to rCquir-
ing Million Of the Government, and so on to
the end. Phen we think the Government
should reserve from saleiali the Pacific Lands
within ten miles.ofits route, have them fairly
appraised and opened to entry by settlers only
in quart er-sections or less, and give, or rather
pay the Railroad Company all the value which
it had conferred on these lands. counting their
original value nothing, and leaving all the lands

in quarter-sections without price. Then it
should stipulate to pay the Road fairly, as
other Railroads are paid for first-class Nail
service, for conveying a daily mail each way
from the Mississippi TO the Pacific. BY such
protfers, we believe our solid capitalists could
/ be induced TO undertake the work, and that
men of moderate means would inves their
hundreds and thousands as stoekholdefs;c conf-
dent of a fair return for their money. With en-
| ergy and liberality, the work may be pushed
through ina few years, and viii contribute
more to to the growth and greatness Of our
country, to her industrial develOpement and
! commercial ascendency, than the acquisition
ofthe whole Continent from Greenland to
Patagonia.--N. Y. Iribtne.
