DIED,


On the 18th inst, Mrs. SARAH J. BRITToN,
wifo Of John r. Britton.
On the 18th inst, Mrs. MARY LONG, wife Of
DR.. Jas. Long, in tho goth year of her age.
On the 18th inst, in this place, Mrs. MARY F.
VERTREES, in the ed year Of her age. Her
death was sudden and somewhat unexpected.
For number of years she had been a sufferer,
but none of her friends or family looked for her
ceath in what proved to be her last sickness.
Through the evening and uight on which she
died she was more than usually cheerful and
happy, and from a pleasant conversation with
her family and those around her she lay down to
rest. She soon fell into calm sleep, from which
she never woke. On the occasion OF her funeral
Ed. j. j. Errett preached an eloquent discourse
on the Resurrection of the Body to a large con-
gregation in the Christian church. Mrs, Yer
trees was born in Kentucky in 1911, and came
with her parents to Missouri in 1890 Missouri
was then II territory, and tho ,hoop of the In
dian had scarcely yet died from our hills and
forest. Many Of her years consequently were
spent amid the privations of frontier Ii o. Mrs.
Nertrees, by the warmncss of her heart the ami
ableness of her dispositions the sweetness of her
manners, and her ready powers of conversation
cndeared herself to large circle of friends. But
the beauty of all her life her Christian char
acter. She obeyed the gospel in 1882, and for
forty years her life was the pattern Of n Chris
tian lady. Her faith aud manner of life is the
assurance to her friends that their loss is her
eternal gain. Her society is missed from the
earth, her place in the home circle is vacant, but
we know there is one more voice added to the son 9
of the redeemed. X.

The Chicago Newspaper Unien A
Prosperous Institution.

A correspondent writes as follows
from Chicago:
AT the time of the great fire which
swept over Chicago one year ago, ard
reduced the fair proportions of the
Western metropolis to a mass of rub
bish and ashes, the CHICAGO NEwsPaPEz
UNION were preparing to move into
their new building, on the South Side.
They had just fitted up, eft large ex.
pense, an elegant and commodious Office
in marble palace fronting the old
Custom House, on Monroe street. and
another week would have found them
located there and, of course, all their
machinery, presses and material, con-
stitutng one of the most perfect print
ing establishments in the Western
country, would have been destroyed by
that terrible storm OF fame which
swept INTERESTINGLY and unpi,yingly
over the doomed city.
Fortunately the building which they
occupied in the West Division, and
which they were about TO exchange Tor
more commodious quarters on the Souia
Side, was beyond the reach of the IRE
iiend. 1t was the only printing Office
Of any magnitude that escaped the a.
most universal wreck and ruin. ~
course the concern was not OF sufficient
capacity to undertake the herculean
task of printing all the numerous daily
papers in the city. But il certainly did
all that possibly could be done under
the circumstances in lending helping
hand to its stricken contemporaries. liz
proprietors generously threw its doors
open and lent the use OF its presses 10
four of the large dailies. The first paper
an edition of the Erening Post) printed
after the fire, was issued from the Office
of the NEwsPAxR UNIoS on Monday
afternoon, the 10th of October, 1>.2,
while the flames We're even yet raging,
and before the extent OF the awful c.
lamity had become generally known;
and for several weeks thereafter the
numerous presses Of the establishment
were taxed to their fullest capacity,
running night and day, in printing the
large editions OF the Daily Erenirg Pos,
Daily Republican, (now Inter. OCEAN,, Day
Staats-Zeitung and Daily Caaoa. besides
serving their own patrons as usual.
Immediately after the smoke OF the
great contiagration had cleared away
the proprie:ors of the UNION gave or
ders for the reconstruction OF their new
building, into which, as before men
toned, they were on the eve of remoy-
ing at the timeo of its destruction. Mean
while they have continued TO occupy
their old quarters in the West Division
until within a few days past, although
sorely cramped for room. On the ami
versary OF the destruction Of Chicsgo
they moved into their new structure, at
ia East Monroe street, where they are
now located. The office OF the CHICAGO
NEWSPAPER UNION, as now arranged, i
a model establishment. We have been
and seen, and know whereof we SPEAK,
and we feel sure we do not exaggeraie
one jot or title when we assert that u
is one of the most perfectly fitted Up
and best arranged printing offices oil me
kind in the country.
