Saturday contains the following notice
1.-THE sad event occurred this morning at z
o'clock, at Mrs. Flagg's summer residence,
in Clarendon, Vt, where the family have
been residing during the past few months
1t was not wholly unexpected, for Mrs
Flagg had been an invalid for some time,
suffering from an affection of the heart
combined with dropsy, and at intervals
was alarmingly i'll, but such was her char
acter for benevolence, for Christian labor,
for self-denial in all those things which
to the happiness OF others, that
the news of her death will sadden hun
dreds of hearts. We cannot speak of her
to-day as we would wish, and as we hope
to do tomorrow for we are without the
facts to give complete biography of her
life, or the. time to do justice to the mem
DRY of one SO good and true and foremost
in every religious and philanthropic work
Mrs. Flagg's maiden name was Hobbs
and she belonged to one of the oldest and
most respected families of Weston, Mas.
sachusetts. In early life, as she told us
herself few years since with feelings Of
pardonable pride, she taught school in her
native village, and had for pupil no less
parsonage than Hon. n. P. Banks, then
poor, friendless boy, now one of the fore
most statesmen of his age. After hel
marriage to Mr.. Flagg she removed tc
New York city, where they resided some
years, and then removed to Troy. Mrs
Flagg was seventy years of age. She was
member of the Unitarian church of thi:
city, and one of its main pillars. She was
managing director OF the Day Home
and, we believe, of other charitable insti
buttons, and labored necessarily in philan'
thropic work of all kinds. Her death
will reach far beyond the limits Of the
home circle, and create void which only
a perfect woman can fill. Peace to he1
