Death OF Mrs. Hatch.

1t is with unfeigned sorrow that we record this
morning the death of Mrs. Emily s. Hatch, wife of
the late Walter Hatch, which occurred at her
residence in this city, yesterday afternoon at three
o'clock. She had been suffering for five weeks
with that terrible disease, the cerebro spinal men
nights and at times very intensely. Within fort
night the disease took a peculiarly violent turn,
and her death has been expected momentarily.
She passed the night quite comfortably on We'd
nesdsy, but was attacked with spasms yesterday
afternoon, in one of which she died.
During her sickness Mrs. Hatch has been
rounded by friends who have deemed it privilege
to care for one who was held by them in great es-
teen. The oft-repeated and anxious inquiries
the streets during her sickness as to her condition,
showed the extent of her friendship and the SYM
patty felt for her in the time of atllction. Since
the death of her lamented husband, in Feb. 1871 ,
Mrs Hatch has had the entire Of her interest
ing family of children, three young ladies, who
are now left fatherlcss and motherless, but sur
rounded by true and steadfast friends, who will
seek to carry out the wishes of the mother given
with great calmncss and thoughfuness upon the
death bed.
Mrs. Hatch will be sincerely niourned. Hers
was a sweet and gentle spirit that found its ex-
preston in the family circle and the uegh5orhood,
and its blessed influence wa felt in the communi-
ty at large.

Reply to "Justice to the Poor Man."

TO the Editor Of the Hennebec Journal Where's,
one Milton NJ. Stone has made it his business to
set forth the horrors of the method of collecting
debts practced at the collection agency in this
city, and to prefer grave charges against those
who conduct the same We therefore rise y to
explain. 1t is the usual misfortune of new meth
DDS that they creep slowly through narrow minds
and are fercely thrust at by the rusty sword of
chronic fogysm. Concerning the positive or neg
alive virtues of our system of collecting, we have
neither inclination nor space to speak. If it Tires
it viii speak for itsef if it des-wel, we can pur-
sue the usual course and speak of its merits in its
epitaph.
But Mr.. S. claims to know of some cases of pc
culiar hardship which he cites, and which if not
carefully considered will mislead the reader who
disregarding the letter pursues the spirit Of the
writer's version. Truth may have such dirty
face that its own friends fail to recognize it.
