the fire to fame She was then ai-
rected to throw WOODEN rug over the
fire and stamp upon it. While that was
being done Mrs H. crawled sonic ten
feet to Water tank and began to throw
water by means of which, though sufo
Gated with smoke, both together soon
succeeded in extinguishing the fire.
When assistance came and found the in
valid sitting upon the floor surrounded
by water, she being asked how she came

thought of being burned to death, so |
got here Under such circumstances,
how valuable is presence of mind. Had
the outer door been opened upon that
consuming quilt probably the fire would
have instantly risen to flame, and then
been communicated to the apparel Of the
nearly helpless one, so that the scene
would have been far more terrible.
Thinking of the wooden rug too was
most timely. Mrs. HI. was apparently
as we'll as she had been until Wednes-
day morning when she was again pros
trated by hemofrhage from the stomach
near to death. 81
On Wednesday morning, II inst Mrs.
I. c., wife of Rev. H. N. Hovey, left
the earthly, for the Heavenly life s; in
the 59th year Of her age. Her sickness
of internal hemorrhage and dropsy, was
long, and attended with great suffering.
A bereaved husband, six afflicted chill
dren and the church of which she was
an active member, have sweet consola-
ton in their memories of her christian
counsels, prayers and example. She
''rests from her labors and her works do
follow her.
