BRONsON-In Kenosha, Aug. 10th 1870, Mrs
Mary Bronson, aged 81 years. 5sGs
MIS- Mary Bronson was born in Chatham
Middlesex Co., Conn, May 10th 1889. She was the
daughter of Timothy and Mary Doan. At four
teen she moved with her parents to Ohio, and
settled in what is now tho city of Cleveland 1t
was then wilderness, unbrokeh in its solitude,
excepting by two humble log cabins. The fam
lily pushed out seven miles from those human
habitations, and built themselves home Here
she continued to reside until her marriage with
Mr. Daniel Bronson, 1.-THE gear 1907.
Seven daughters and five sons were born to
them, of whom FIVE daughters aard two sons are
now living to mourn the loss of devoted Chris
tian mother. After marriage she moved with her
companion 70, what is now Columbia, Ohio Here
they resided till 1921. and then returned to Eu-
cid, her former hone. In 1885 they removed to
Michigan, where, after residence oil one year,
the happy wife became widow. Once more she
returned with her children to Euclid.
In 1916 she came to Kenosha, where she has
resided till her decease. The religions expert
ence OF Mrs. Bronson was such as to leave no
doubt Of Its .genuineness. She was first CON
frmed into the Episcopal Church, but eubse-
0uently united with the Methodist Episcopal
Chnrch, and ever maintained consistent Chris
tian character. She had no extatic moments.
there were no shouts OF rapture, no vision Of an
gels but her confidence was fright and strong
to the last. She endured her long weary illness
of many weeks, with all christian patience and
resignation, No murmurings, no repinings, no
Chris, rather than remain longer ia this lfe. AS
her aged frame grew weaker, and she realized
that the last great change WIS approaching, her
mind was confident and peacetul- She fingered
like the last dim spark OF dying fame, Her
time was fully como. her labors were all at an end,
Her master said to.her, !" 1t is enough, come up
higher and thus without a motion. without q
pang, without whisper, she passed away

the Council of this city recently, was one ap
pointing Harbor Master.
| Now what is the use or necessity of Har
Dor Master, if we have no docks on which tt
unload vessels? Look at our docks to- day
the only one that is in condition for use is
the new one on the north Of the bridge, and
no channel has been opened to it, and OF
course is useless only for very light vessels
The Spencer dock is the only available one,
and that is so out of repair, that only lumber
can be placed on it.
Now what are manufacturers to do ?-they
do not own dock property-and parties who
do own it will not sell, or putt in condition
for use. Has our common council no power
to compel them to give proper dockage,
SUCH as the business of the city demands? II
not, what is the use of our endeavoring to get
appropriations from the general government
for our harbor? 1 know it is easier to ask
Questions than to answer them but should
not this matter be looked into? Does not
the interest of our city demand that some
power should compel the owners of harbor
property to put it in shape for use? 1t seems
to me that this property is different from all
other property, for it is only available when
we can have access to 1t, and this expense is
made by others, either by the city or the
government, and consequently its entire val
ne is the result of expenses made by parties
other than the owners. Such being the case,
If we put money in their pockets, they should
be compelled to place their property in such
shape. that the money spent by the city is OF
some use to the citizens.
Please ask our Harbor Master to answer
these questions, and thus give some light to
at least one MANUFACTURES.

SUSPENDED ANIMATIoN.--A singular
circumstance is just related of the sup
posed death of a child in Lansingburg.
The extreme heat of the past few weeks
has caused many poor little infant to
give the life SO recently gained, owing to
the close and depressing state of the
atmosphere. Among others, the child
we speak of died, as was supposed, and
laid out for burial, and the parents were
stricken with sorrow over the loss they
had sustained. Among those who visited
the corpse was woman whose acute per,
ceptiYc faculties revealed to her certain
signs which indicated that life still lin.
gered in the little frame. She applied
cold water to the lips of the child which
after a time feebly. answered to the
reviving draught, and the proper res,
toratives being used, the child was
brought to consciousness, and is now
restored to new life. The sorrow of the
parents was instantly changed to the
widest JOY on the return of the child
from death to life. albany Journal 81
