 Suddenly, at Brooklyn, on the morning of the 18th of May Clara E. Talcott daughter of the late Rev. Hart Talcott, of Warren, Connecticut, and grand-daughter of Judge Jonathan Warner, of Ca naan, Columbia Co.,, N. Y.
 In this fra1 life of oars we are often called to note the death of friends or less beloved but seldom do we record the death of an individual so rich n every thing calculated to adorn life and to make life useful and beneficial to others. Early and while at school at Brooklyn, she confessed her allegiance to the Savior under the ministra- ton of Rev. Dr. J. s. Spencer. After fnishing.her course at the Packer Collegiate Institute she so. journed for a few years in one of our Southern States and then returned to her loved institution and became one of it's most important and gifted teachers. To logical and comprehensive iute- leet she added retentive memory, and she was so thoroughly conversant with all the subjects she attempted to analyZe, that her own clearness and ability to make clear to others were truly remark able. With her high toned moral character, cuIti- vated mind, afectionate and genial disposition, she was at once an invaluable companion, de- lightful and faithful friend. In her Christian life she wasdrreproachable, ever seeming to sit hum ply at the feet of Jesus. For two years she suffer- ed from distressing malady, which once would have been pronounced hopeless, but which mod ern science has been enabled to relive and in this hope her friends rested, admiring the heroic, un- complaining and cheerful manner which she bore her trials. But suddenly in the midst of her teach ings, she heard the s'midnight cry" and was ready. Even before her friends were awake to the idea of danger she had been translated from sui tering to glorious immortality

Rights of Married Women.

There is now pending before our Legis- lature a bill for raising Connecticut wives to an equality with those of New York and Massachusetts as regards control of their own property. We have often spoken of a necessity of that kind, and hope that the measure will be received with the favor which it deserves, and which we are pleased to see that it receives from the press throughout the state. There are certain other measures which are required to place the married woman on anything like fair footing, of which the following are the most important: .
 1. The wife should be emancipated from that personal control of the husband to which the law subjects her.
 2. She should be secured a fair share of the property she helps to accumulate. To compel her to labor for her husband, as at present, without pay, is grossly unjust.
 8. She should be permitted to bring suits for injuries to her person, property and reputation, like any other free person. She should, also, be solely liable for all torts she may commit.
 4. No father should be allowed to in- denture, surrender, give in adoption, or otherwise send out of the family, any child without the mothers consent
 5. On the death of the father, the moth CT should become the legal guardian ''of the person" of any child of the marriage; leaving the custody .''of the estate," if necessary, to guardian, testamentary, or other.
 6. No mother. without means to SUD- port her children, should. for that reason only, be liable to confinement in the poor house.
 z. The wife seeking divorce should be allowed alimony during the pendency of the suit, in this as she is in other states.
 8. The adultery law should be so chang ed as to punish the unfaithful husband equally with the unfaithful wife.
 g. The present law of dover should be so changed as to secure the wife's right in this state as fully as is the case in most other States and in England.
 10. All conditions in bequests or devil ses restrictive of the widows right to re- marry should be declared void.

The Fenian Fiasoo.

The Fenians have made another attempt upon Canada and another failure. In fact. scarcely any thing more absurd than an at- tempt to conquer Canada by fllibuster- ing raid can be conceived of. Were the population of Canada like that of Ireland, thoroughl9 disAfeeted with their own gov ernment, sthere might be chance of suc- cess A spark might be all that would be wanting to start the flame of instruction; 1; busswhere. as in this case, invasion can on- ly be successful as conquest, it must carry sufficient military force to break down the opposition of 8 considerable regular army, and of population numbering some three millions. Even were we as a nation to un- dertake such an enterprise, the history of the late war teaches us that great effort and a large army would be necessary. Not only did the Fenians have no such army, but they had no base of supplies. Their invading force might burst into Canada before our government could stop them; but after that they could look for no assist ance from this quarter. The most imbe- cile government could not permit its terri tory to be made the base of extended mill itary operations against friendly power.
 The present Fenian invasion, however, scarcely amounted to a respectable raid. The Irish force was careful not to advance but few miles beyond the Canadian line; and their retreat was as easy as it was in- glorious. A little more military ability on the part of their leaders would have caused more destruction of life, but it could not by any possibility have attained success.
 It is to be hoped that the present affair will teach Irish Americans that any at tempt to keep up separate nationality in the United States is grand mistake. It is natural that they should hate the nation that expresses their native land, but they ought to be convinced. by this time. that if they ever redress her wrongs, it must be as Americans, not as Irishmen. Their true interest as we'll as their allegiance to the United States are both opposed to the mil itary projects of Fenianism.
