 In Warren, July 17th, George Woolsey, son oi Woolsey and Ruth Jackson, aged years.
 In Morris, July 26th, Mary Ann, wife of James 5. Ames, and eldest daughter of Leman ana Cornelia Stone, aged 2l years.
 Dearest friend has gone and left us,
 She has found an early grave,.
 But 'tis God that called her homewaros
 From this world of sin and pam.
 In Torringford, 27th ult. Mrs. Ann 5. Loomis, relict of the Rev Harvey Loomis, who, at the time of his death, was Pastor of the Congregational Church in Bangor, Maine. Those who have read the "A Annals of the Pulpit" by Wm. B. Sprague, n n. wifi remember that in the biography of Mr Ioomis. he is stated to have established the first Evangelical Church in the place of his de- cease. He remarked of him, that no man was better fitted for the enterprise in which he sue. ceeded He speaks of him as the faithful Min. lster of the Gospel, the Christian gentleman, and the genial man.
 The manner of his death was remarkable. On the morning of the first Sunday in January, 1925, he ascended his pulpit to perform morn. ing service there. After sitting four or five min. utes, he seemed falling from his seat Instantly a rush was made to learn the cause, and though every effort was made to restore him, life was soon extinct. The sermon in his pocket, which he intended to preach that morning, was on the This year thou shalt die"
 It is now thirty-six years six years since the death of her husband, that she whose death we have announced, has remained his widow. Du1. ing this time, she has resided in Torringford. Her life has been pure, her conduct that of a Christian. We humbly trust, her spirit has now joined her deceased husband in the mansions of bliss.
 Mrs. Loomis was the daughter of the late William Battell, Senr., and sister of the late William Battell, Jr., and Joseph Battell.
