Ladies of st. Paurs Episcopal Church
are making arrangements for a Grand
Concert and Fair, to be held some
evening during the first week of May.
Fine musical talent both here and from
abroad has been secured for the concert. and
we have no hesitation in aying that this part
of the entertainment will be of first class Or
der, and worthy of public patronage. The
ladies are actively engaged IN preparing
"ixings for the fair, an d ii is safe to
assume that many rare, useful and fancy
articles can be procured from the well filled
tables, that will be spread on the occasion.
The programme for the evening also IN
cludes bountiful supply of refreshments.
The proceeds of the entertainment will be
for the benefit Of the church, and it is

FlELDS.-ln Milwaukee, Tuesday, April
9Th, 1873, MARY j., wife of James S.
Fields, and daughter Of Levi Scofeld, of
this city, aged % years.
Married last August-now laid in the
bosom. of the earth! How sad change
from the highest JOY TO the deepest SORROW
for her young husband-She at rest; he
overwhelmed and crushed by grief
WAlT.-In the city of Grand Haven, on
Thursday March 9th, 1873. Mrs DIANA
WAIT, wife of j. B. Wait, aged 4s years
and six months.
Mrs. Wait WAS comparatively stranger
in our city, having resided here but about
one year ard half but in the brief time
she had endeared herself 10 all those with
whom she had become acquainted. Mrs
Wait had for many years been afflicted
with an affection &c The lungs but her
health had seemed 20 improve IN this climate
and her friends had good reason to expect
she might live Tor many years YET But alas
for human expectations A few days pre-
ViOuS 10 Uer ueHtu Sne contracted Il severe
cold, which settled on her lungs, thus
Fastening the closing scene il the great
drama of life.
Had we the ability to command the arts
and subtletes of language we wou!d paint a
picture that should portray all that is notle
in woman, nil that is pure in humanity, in
short all that the all wise Father would
have US cherish and enshrine within our
hearts, aud that picture we would inscribe
sacred to her mem Dry. and yet it would
be but round about way of saying that in
society she was noble woman, in domes
tie circles a Kind devoted mother, and true
wife firm in her convictions of right and
never swerving from Ter duly.
To her stricken, sorrowing husband and
children, We would say emulate and cherish
her virtues, enshrine them within your
hearts, hat you, like her, may pass calmly
into the dark valley, from whence there is
no returning. S.

STILL Observation-Disclosures the head
of Modern Slavery al W atertown," Mr.. p
Deyy, of this city, publishes commune lea
ton in the Madison Democrat rejecting on
the motives of those of our citizens who
for the honor aud safety of our city, have
formed the "Watertown City Debt Associa-
tion." Mr.. Devy, very uncharitably aud
with an unreasonable degree of effrontery,
implies that this association has been gotten
up for iniqutous purposes; the members of
it intending to spoil the city and rob the
tax payers generally. With all due regard
to Mr. DIS opinions as to the motives which
govern the members of the Association, we
would state that we believe major ity of
our people have the full est confidence in the
honesty and good intentions of the officers
of the WATERFOWL Cit, Debt Assoc iation,
knowing that they are capable of acting
conscientious and right on all questions per-
tanning to the settlement of our affairs,
and affecting the welfare of the city.
Mr.. D. finds fault with the manner of
voting that has been agreed upon by The
members of the association, namely, that
any party paying in ten dollars is entitled
to a vote, and for every additional ten dol
lars vote, and herein is tie proof
that '.Modern Slavery" exists in Wa
ter'own at The present day. 1t is also
stated in the communication that the finau-
cial condition of the Association cannot be
ascertained without maj ority vote. This
shows how ignorant the writer is of the
rules which govern the Association. The
books are open at all times to everybody,
just as free to be inspected by Mr.. Devy as
by any one Else, and thus is given an OPP
portunty Tor all to learn for themselves
what is going on in the '.inner circle from
of the Association all are admitted, wheth-
er members or not, and the proc eedings are
conducted openly, fairly and above board.
the smallest tax payer having as much
consideration shown him as the largest
one in the city.
Remarkable as it may seem to some, the
Watertown City Debt Association ;hrives,
and there are 'added daily to it such as
would be saved" from the meshes of those
among US who offer no cure for the ills we
,abor under, but ind fault with every sning
that is attempted for the settlement of our
difficulties
