The death of Mrs. Thomas, adds another to
the very long list Of aged people who have
been taken by death from the town of Lun.
enburg. during the past year and half. At
her funeral, the Church was well filed with
relatives, friends and neighbors for she had
so wei borne her part in all the different
walks of life, as to leave her memory in kind
~ esteem; yet,the community was not shock
ed by the announcement of her death, as it
was II short time batore,as man strong in the
strength of his middle life was snatchcd from
the very power OF that strength, wrestling
but two or three days with disease and the
places that did know him. now know him not.
On no hers was an expected death, and the
principle reason why il was expected, was
because she was old. It's true she had a can
Ger on the arm, that had tor two years been
drinking mp the life blood, disease chat had
been working It's way so surely that it was Il
matter ofsurprise that she lived as long as
she did. Yet two years since, in its incipient
stage, when to common eyes it was OHly a
sore on the arm, four different Physicians
called to examine it, all said "It's cancer
and better be let alone" 1t might he remov-
ed and healed up here, but she is so old it
would break out in worse place. SO old ;
when that man was stricken down SO sud.

1t was WdTRtng, and 50 is this and so is ev

can as Mrs. Thomas did, wait and suffer
through long years, with patience and Chris.

DEATH OF A RAILROAD ENGINEER.
Samuel B. Hobart, Son-in.law of
Capt. Zenas Snow, of Lunenburg, VT,
died at his residence on fremont
St. Boston, Mass, Thursday morning,
at 8 O'clock, of rheumatism of the
heart, after an illness of short dura-
ton. At 8 O'Clock he arose from his
bed and said he had passed a very
comfortable night and was feeling
much improved, but on lying down
again he threw his head back on his
pillow and imme diateiy expired. Mr..
Hobart has been an engineer on the
Boston and Albany Railroad for the
past twenty-five years, and for the
last fifteen years has run the fast
New York Express between Boston
and Worcester, which has latterly left
Boston at 10 a. M, his engine being
the sd. Waldo Lincoln" which he
has run ever since it was built. He
was a man widely known and re-
spected, and his loss will be severely
felt, not only by the railroad men on
the Boston and Albany and other
roads, but by the Young Mems Chris
tan association, and the Baptist de-
nomination in the city and State.
He was also prominent in the tenn
perance cause, and his pcrsua sive
utterances in moral suasion meetings
have been promotive of much good,
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher and Rev.
w. H. H. Murray have accompanied
him upon his engine, and given to
the public eye their impressions of a
ride upon the iron horse which he so
ably controlled. He left name
which is untarnished in the communi
ty in which he lived and was an exam
pie for others to follow.

The slight irrcgularity which oc-
Cured at Groveton last Christmas
was all cleared mp and settled at Cole

of an enlightened(O jury. Young
Gonyear is safe in the happy hunting
ground, his slayers honorably dis
charged, and all traces of the suppos-
ed crime obliterated by the burning
of the house where it is alleged to
have been committed, and it only re-
mains for the public to acquiesce in
the finding Of the jury and leave the
moral effect to take care of itself.
But we don't believe it (the public)
