OBTUARY.-The sickness and death of
KATY D. daughter of Capt. W. W. Star
key, is entitled to more than a simple
announcement. She was considered a
healthy child up to the fore part of July
last. when she began to suffer from an
ailment that it was difficult to fix the
character Of The seat of the disease
seemed to be in the stomach. The suf-
fering became more and more painful,
and the stomach began to enlarge This
feature suggested the formation of a to-
NOR. and the rapidity of the enlargement
went TO confirm the suspicion. The
growth may be realized when it is con-
sidered that from the time named up to
the 18th of October, when death came TO
the relief of the little sufferer, the abdo-
men seemed 70 be put. to its utmost tension.
1t was IN this state of things that the
parents saw their little one, butts little
over two years old, approaching her end
without the knowledge of her complaint,
or the ability of ministering to her re-
lief Their suffering as well as that of the
child, may be imagined. After death.
the body was opened by Drs. Eames and
Case, for the purpose of learning the ma
ture and locality..of the disease. The sus-
picion of the presence of a tumor was
confirmed. 1t was of large size, nearly or
quite as large as the head. and probably
of the weight of some half q dozen
pounds. 1t was in substance, not unlike
the lights of an animal, and when cut in
to, was of about the same solldity, no
cavity or pussy collectionsbeing apparent.
Tubercles, were, however, to be seen upon
the surface. 1t was firmly attached to
the back, and one lobe of the liver rested
upon the upper portion of it, from which
it became considerably diseased. The
intestines and other contents of the stom-
ach were thrust forward and out of place,
aud some of the intestines that rested
against it, had become attached to this
fungus formation. This fact would have
render ed an operation for removal
sometimes successfully resorted to-of
difficult and delicate performance. AS
the post mortem was only resorted to for
the purpose of getting at the nature of
the disease, the tumor was left in its
place, and the operation closed. The
character Of the case was such, attended
as it was with great suffering and care, as
TO raise lively sympathy for the pa.
rents and friends who are left not only
to grieve over their loss, but to the sad
reflection of the pain and suffering that
preceded 1t.

Jefferson may boast a more consummate
highwayman than any other town in the
county that we have had occasion to visit.
Its roads are in the best possible condi.
tion-rounded up in fsultless shape and
worked to an even. true grade and settled
with smoothness that fits them for a
trotting course. When we consider that
the material IS all clay, the fact will be
appreciated, that the street commissioner
not only understands his business, but
has the energy and application for doing
it. The roads of the Hub stand out in
favorable contrast with those of this
place-not having here, a solitary half
mile of road, where we can just let the
animal out.

There is but little to add regarding the
sad calamity on Thursday which resulted
in the loss of the prop. Brooklyn and of
several lives. The steamer Dove brought
up Monday morning the body of a woman
passenger which was found afloat. There
can be but one conclusion arrived at re-
garding the event as 10 cause, which was
low water in her boiler, cruel neglect
and oversight on the part of somebody.
The Brooklyn was en- route from Og-
densburg to Chicago via Cleveland. Her
Captains name is better known as Harvey
Brown, an adopted one. Capt. Matt
Boardman, an old lake man, and we'll
known throughout the lake region, mi
racuouslY escaped with his life. The
number of lives lost probably does not
exceed the statement already given.
