= A REMARKABLE OLD LADY.--A Connect-
cut paper gives the following account of
remarkable old lady who died in the State
last week:
MRS. Abigail Rudd died in Bozrah, on
Tuesday of last week. She was in the one
hw,dredtA year of her age, and probably the
oldest person in the country, il not in the
State. Her maiden name was Abigail Allen,
and she was married in 1880. She was born in
Montville. Up till a few weeks Of her death
she has always been the sole housekeeper of
her son, who manages a large farm. She drew
a pension in consequence of the revolutionary
services Of her husband, who has been dead
many years. She was remarkable for her
great memory. 1t is but few years since
she would repeat verbatim Millions Paradise
Lost. Tie bible she would repeat perfectly.
She would give history Of our country, es-
pecially the days Of the Revolution. She
retained her faculties until the last, and often
said that she was ready and prepared 10 go
whenever tho summons came" ~

RUNAwAY.-As Mr.. William T. Merrifeld,
lady, and driver, were returning home from church
10 sleigh, Sunday afternoon, the horse took
fright and ran up Mechanic St, across Main ST.,
and dashed against telegraph post, corner of
Pearl street, pretty essentially damaging the front
portion of the sleigh, but fortunately doing no
materialinjury to the passengers, who were pre-.
cipitated with great force into the snow. Becom-
ing disengaged from the sleigh at this point the
horse ran up Pearl and Chestnut streets, but was
soon recaptured, apparently without having suf.
fered any damage.

A Rum MURDER.- While the mother Of
family was out procuring some necessaries in
Buffalo, on Saturday afternoon, the father
towards evening made some whskey sing,
which he drank freely himself and gave freely
to their two children who were four and two
years of age, resp ctiyly. When they had
become stupified, he put them to bed on the
floor, and left the house. When the mother
returned she found the youngest child stand
ing near the stove crying, while the other was
literally roasted to death in the burning bed,
which had probably been Set on fire by embers
from the fathers pipe.

CAUTION TO SMoKERs.-Mr. Solly, the emil
nent writer on the brain, says, in late elm
ical lecture on that frightful and formidable
malady, softening of the brain, 81 would
caution you, as students, from excuses in the
use of tobacco and smoking, and would adj
wise you to disabuse your patients minds of
the idea that it is harmless. l have had a
large experience of brain disease, and 1 am
satisfied now that smoking is most obnox-
ious habit. l know of no other cause or
agent that tends SO much to bring on tunc-
tional disease, and through this, in the end,
to lead to organic diseases of the brain, as ex-
cessive use of tobacco

DROP THEM.-An order has been transmit
ted to the post offices and custom houses from
the general government, to take no more
Spanish quarters, ninepences and fourpences
for anything more than 20, 10, or cents. The
price of these coins has been reduced by act
of Congress just passed, to the above rate.
The bill authorizes the issue of the new cent,
SO that general publication of the small cur.
rency of the country may be expected. When
the government undertakes good thing
every one ought to assist it in every possible
way. We are so far native American that
we go for pure American currency. Lao.

Our worthy friend, Gen. Towne of Charlton, will
undoubtedly be surprised to find himself recorded
in the Transcript veritable L. L. D., and fur
Their that he has recently appeared in the field as
lecturer, on "the manners, habits, and eduea-
ton of the people of this country, Seventy gears
since, as personally witnessed" Gen. Towne's re-
collections may possibly go back seventy gears,
but if they do, we think his observations at that
time must have been of too Juvenile character
to possess much interest to those who have arry-
ed at years of discretion at the present day. The
truth Of the matter is, that the lecturer at Auro-
ra was venerable clergyman ofthat vicinity, and
not our Massachusetts General, Legislator and

W1sooNs1N.-The Legislature of Wiscon-
sin was organized on the 10th inst, when the
Governor sent in his am ual message. 1t pre-
sents highly satisfactory view of affairs in
this young State. The Governor says the
State debt is but trihe. and the revenue is
equal to the expenditure. The principal of
the school fund now exceeds two millions, and
and that of the university fund three hundred
thousand dollars, and the income of each is
large and steadily increasing. The mineral
districts are said to have yielded largely dur
ing the year, and the resumption and COM
pletion of the geological survey of the State is
strongly urged. The statistics of population
are interesting, showing a rapid increase =

wine, of which he Ind been drinking freely,
and that the first blow reused all the demon
within him, and left him no longer in posses
sion of his judgment or self control. Wheth-
er this report be true or not there is nothing
in it at all inconsistent with probability, or
with the character of Col Brooks. On the
contrary, it seems to us much more likely to
have been the fact, than that he should have
deliberately planned the murder which he but
just escaped committing.

Government will decide the question this even
ing in relation to the election of City Sexton
and decide it in such a manner as will meet the
wishes of the great majority of the people, by the
reelection of Mr. Sessions, who for the past seven
years has performed the responsible duties of his
position so much to the satisfaction of all who
have had occasion to meet him while in the per-
formance ofthose duties. We think the wishes of
great majority of our citizens should be consulted,
rather than the avarce of few interested men in
matter of this kind, and trust that when members
of the Council are approached, as they have been,
by interested parties with the question: i" What
shall do for you to induce you to vote against
Mr.. Sessions" that they will rebuke such inter
ference as it deserves

With this basis for an estimate, taking into
consideration the large immigration during

The LATE SToRM.-Richmond and Norfolk
(Va.) papers give details of disasters by re-

falling on Saturday evening, and continued
ill Monday morning, accompanied nearly the
whole time by tremendous blow. Consid
cradle damage was done in the city, and the
harbor was frozen over so firmly that people
passed in crowds over to Portsmouth The
cold was the most intense ever known in that
region. There had been no communication
by the roads with Petersburg, but telegraphic
dispatches state that nineteen persons had
been frozen to death in that city since Satur-
day; among them were DR. Jos. E. Cox and
his nephew, R. C. Trayler.
