impressive ever accorded by the citizens
of that community to private citizen,
The sentiment of regret at the sudden
and violent taking away of the life of a
prominent and industrious man by the
hand Of desperate villain was very
strong. Therefore it was not matter of
surprise that the people turned out by
thousands to attend the funeral, and that
business was virtually suspended in az,
the offices of the municipal and cour ~
government during the greater part O., the
day. The people began to gather at an
early hour; all classes were. represented:
women with childresln; old men and
young; merohs..Ats and mechanics-all
mefe prese' :. to pay the last tribute of re-
spent - :, the deceased.
Ihe body was attired in black suit, and
was encased in costly and elegant rose
wood casket, silver paneled and silver
mounted. On the lid rested two very
handsome wreaths of tuberoses and ca
melias. In the center of one of these was
the Masonic emblem-the square and COM
pass. The services were conducted In the
house by the Rev. Henry M. Storrs, as
sisted by Rev. Mr.. Carpenter. Upon the
conclusion of the services the coffin was
again brought out and placed upon be.

Union, and who declared that if war
must come, the North would meet it as

Senate, but the world has moved. The
rebellious South, under the lead of Jeffer-

one traitor has been hung, and to-day
man of African descent, who nine wears
ago had no rights which white man was
bound to respect, has been admitted to
his seat as Senator from Mississippi.

When I was a little baby,

When was little baby,
With soft and silky hair,
I was located like some fairy
Always had the best Of care.
The neighbors foeked around IGe,
All to me would seem to bow,
Call me pet names without number,
But, Why don't they do SO now.
When I was little baby,
1 could do Just es I pleased.
Knew nothing about trouble,
Always lived in perfect ease.
But, perchance some one my way crossed,
Then guess there'd be row,
Until twas all somewhat over,
But why isn'tit 50 now
Whenever in my carriage,
was drawn upon the street,

Of all CHANGED to meet.
The girls all used to love me,
They would smooth my tiny brow,
Hug and kiss me all the day long,
Don't I wish they'd do so now.

HEAVY SALE OF WooL.-Mr. VIM. n.
Bachelor, of the Bomoseen House, Castle

$4,000 pounds of wool at prices varying
from 43 to 45 cents per pound These
are larger prices than farmers can gener-

three cents per pound, and they are only
paid to Mr.. Bachelor because of his we'll

to deal with him rather than with the
consumers or their agents.

IMPORTANT RAILROAD LEAsE.-We
are informed that the Vermont Central
Railroad has effected lease of the Ogdens-

a period of 90 years, and took possession

This is one of the most important railroad
leases which has ever taken place in this

CR1MEs.-The demoniac Spanish volun-
teers have murdered twenty-five persons
in Havana since the killing Of Castanon
at Key West, and the bloody work is still
going on.
New reading Of the criminal law in
New York: "If you kill man when
sober. it is murder; If you wait till you
get drunk before doing it, you have done
no more harm than if You had shot mad
dog"
The Trauppmann butchery appears
to have stimulated the criminal element
in French society to the preparation of
cumulative murders. In one case lady
was cut to pieces by drunken footman
in the presence of her husband, who,
being afflicted with paralysis, was COM
PEELED to be helpless spectator of the
horrible scene. Other crimes scarcely less
appalling are detailed with horrible mi
nuteness by our foreign exchanges.

DEATH OF AN AGED LADY IN SAILS
BURY-Mrs. Sarah Sheldon, the last
member of the family of Holland Weeks,
one of the early settlers of Salisbury, died
on Tuesday, the Sth inst, at the age OF
eighty-four years. Her father was the
purchaser of the governors lot" located
in the northwest corner of the town. The
charter required the granters to lay out
and appropriate certain shares for specific
purposes, and among others, five hundred
acres to be the private property of the
governor who granted the charter, which
was laid out in one body in any part of
the town he choose to designate. Holland
Weeks, Esq, the father of Mrs. Sheldon,
was one of the selectmen of Salisbury in
1901 and 1895, and represented the town
in the General Assembly in 1896 and
again in 1899. AT the time of her decease
Mrs. Sheldon was regarded as the oldest
woman in the town, and her death has
severed the last link connecting the pre-
sent with the early history and settlers of
Salisbury. The funeral discourse of Mrs.
Sheldon was preached by Rev. Mr.. Leavitt.

Cd Prayer by Rev. Mr.. Williams of the
Seminary.
Sd. Singing, "The Cooling Spring"
4th. Lecture. The theme was introduced
and presented most ably and eloquent
ly for an hour and quarter. Every word
and every line met with willing response
from every heart present. The lecturer
treated his subject in its true light, touch
ing it in its religious, social, moral and
political bearings, not forgetting to speak
happily of the declaration of independence.
the emancipation proclamation and the
adoption of the fifteenth amendment as
self evident truths in the rapid progress
of events of the age and hour as regards
freedom and liberty, The final topic dis
cussed was on the great natural curse,
now that chattel slavery had been re-
moved from the land-Rum His appeals
to the young men to engage in good works
were earnest and no doubt will prove eff
fective. Mr.. Farrah is young man, and
long may he live to WELD his pen and
raise his voice in behalf of the age and
the hour in which he lives.
9th. Singing Temperance Rally Song.

SINGULAR DEATH A little daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Freeman B. Alexander
of Morristown died on the 10th inst,
under very painful circumstances. Some
weeks before her death the little girl had
swallowed hair-pin with which she was
at play. She was eating an apple at the
time she got choked, and when the mother
ran her finger into her throat to relieve
her she thought she felt a hair-pin, but as
no one knew of her having such thing,
it was concluded it mnst have been an
apple stem. The child had frequent
spells of choking, growing worse and
worse for seven weeks until the night be-
fore her death, after she had become very
much emaciated and quite worn out, it
was concluded to have an operation per-
formed. The hair-pin was found, the
bow end down, and as low down as it
could get in the trachea. The child died
the next day after the operation.

st. Agnes Hall, the Diocesan school

excuse have any Episcopaians for send

schools with such. excellent advantages as
are offered at ST. Agnes
AT the late convention of the church
IN Ohio, clergyman, who had become
alarmed about the "Romanizing germs"
in the prayer-book, offered a resolution.
that the terms priest, altar, and sacri-
ice" should be expurgated from the lit
urgy wherever they occurred. He was
soon called to his senses by clerical broth
er, offering as oounter-resolution that the
"Hoiy Bible be expurgated of the terms
priest, altar and sacrifice, wherever they
occur" The first resolution was very
suddenly withdrawn.

Their social manner was cordial, gracious
and winning. The Chinese question the
lecturer considered very important one,
and one which called for the highest and
most careful legislation.
Mr.. Stone next spoke of the different
classes of persons one met on the streets
in San Francisco, and their peculiarities.
There were good many who seemed to
have nothing to do, men of great expect
atoms, who had claims they were waiting
to realize on. The characteristic express
sions Of the people of that section, such as
"You bet for the strongest affirmation
and "Done his level best" for wrought to
the best of his ability, were enumerated,
and caused much laughter. The feminine
element in San Francisco was next dis
cussed, and this, the speaker said, was
very diversified. The ladies dressed there
for convenience; if one preferred muslin
she dressed in that all the year round, and
if she preferred velvet or sable, she
dressed in either one she chose, and the
Clllldto Was SuCu ludl AC1buSI w as
comfortable. 1t was common thing to
see three women walking on the street
the same day, and the same hour in the
day, one in muslin, one in velvet, and one
in fur, each with the same consciousness
of adaptation. In no city in the land did
the ladies indulge in more elaborate and
fashionable array than in San Francisco.
Formerly women were so scarce there that
they were looked upon as angels; now
they were less observed, but still they re-
ceived much attention, and Mr.. Stone
said that if any of the sisterhood in the
east felt that they did not receive that at
tention which was their due he invited
them to go to California.
There was more frankness and less for
mality there; conventional rules were
held in no more reverence than the
reason in them inspired. They were not
afraid of Mrs Grundy; Mrs. Grundy had
not yet crossed the continent. The men
of California did not love coercion; they
had spirit of independence, but it was
not an aggressive spirit, it was simply de-
fensive. They were much more inclined
to look for redress to constituted au-
thority than in former years. The climate
was spoken of as being SO varied that one
could live in any climate he chose. That
of San francisco was especially praised,
and Mr.. Stone said he did not believe
there was another climate on the earth in
which man could do SO much brain
work safely, without WEAKNESS. Earth
quakes were referred TO, but these, he
said, did not trouble the people. All the
earthquakes that had ever visited Cali
fornia did not do so much damage as a
single gale wrought in Massachusetts a
few mouths ago. The people were troubled
with feas, but as cultivation extended its
sceptre over the sand hills these would
retire, and soon disapper. Mr.. Stone
closed with a resume of the advantages
offered by the Sunset Land" and ex-
tending an invitation to visit the same.
The lecture was interspersed with oc-
casional anecdotes and numerous witty
sayings and the audience was kept in
the very best of humor throughout, all
feeling at the close that they knew more
than ever before of the Sunset Land"
