Obituary.

We record with great sorrow the death Of
Miss CELIA Z. STARKwEATHER, on the morning
Of Sunday, Oct. 5. at the residence Of her
friends, Mr., and Mrs George w, Reed, who
had adopted and regarded her as a beloved
daughter. She was young lady well known
in our village for the rare beauty of her person,
the delicacy and refinement Of her manners,
the varied culture of her mind, and the lowell
ness Of her character. Her age was twenty
three, and she has resided in Mr.. Reeds family
since her childhood. She had greatly endeared
herself to the circle of her youthful associates
by the unaffected beauty and strength OF her
character, and by the gentleness and sweetness
of her disposition. Her death was caused by
that remorseless destroyer of so many of our
loveliest youth, consumption. The disease did
not manifest itself till late in the spring Of
this year, and since then all that could be done
by the most devoted affection, and by the most
skilful care Of physicians in the city and at
home, has been done, but without avail. The
progress of the malady has been steady and
unrelenting to its fatal close. We tender our
most cordial sympathy to her bereayed friends,
and mourn with them, not at her transfer TO a
brighter region, but that the enrichment OF
heaven can come alone from the spoils Of earth,
and the victories of life can be secured only by
the triumphs Of death.

DARING BURGLARY On Thursday morning
last daring burglary was perpetrated in
Richford on the depot Of the Missisquoi Rail
road, and the stores Of Rounds & Carpenter,
and Sheldon Boright. They first entered the
depot by unlocking the doors and climbing
through the window. Here they opened the
money drawers, and took the contents, all but
pennies, silver, and counterfeit twenty-five
cent scrip. Fortunately the drawer only con-
tanned $25-all in scrip-the remainder of the
money being deposited in the safe, which they
did not NEEDLE with, probably because of the
proximity of the Waterman. They then visited
the store of Rounds 4 Carpenter and broke
open their safe. The money drawer and post
Office money drawer were also taken, and about
S65 in postage stamps. They made haul OF
about $500 in all. 500 Of this amount be-
longed to Henry Heath, which he had deposited
there for safe keeping. About 500 of the
remainder was post Office money and postage
stamps. Every scrip was taken, but the silver
and cents were left. But their best haul was
at Mr.. Boright's store. On breaking open the
safe they found about $500 in money and
So 900 in bonds. But 10 their haste they
dropped 81 500 of the latter, which were re-
covered. Including accrued interest on the
bonds, Mr.. Borigbt's total loss amounts to
about s. 500. The completeness with which
the job was done carries conviction that 1t was
the work of some accomplished burglars.
A correspondent from Cambridge writes us

whom they subsequently left at relatives on

into the Woods after leaving. Cambridge ana

with them, but made No Efforts to yell any OF
them. These pretended vine peddlers may
have had something to do with the robbery,
and they may not.

The BEETHOVEN CONCERT. - Those of our
people whom the steady rain of nearly all day
yesterday did not deter from coming out in the
evening to attend the Beethoven Concert, en-
joyed a rare treat. There is not single mem
Der Of the club who is mott soloist of acknowl-
edged ability. Mrs. Osgood, although this is
her first appearance before a Montpelier au-
dience, won the highest praises from all, and she
may be sure of cordial reception whenever
she comes here again. Nothing could be finer
than her " love my love" and that popular
Scotch ballad " Down the burn, Davie, lad, +"
or " When am dead The instrumental
music was superb, and during passages in
Schumann's Trneumerie, the silence in the au-
dence was such that dropped pin could have
been heard over the whole house. We are very
glad indeed to make the acquaintance of "the
Beethovens," and can assure them full houses,
and appreciatiye audiences whenever they visit
us again.
