We were mi.iufouued lasl week ia
regard TO tue death Of Capt. Richard
Barrett, Of Concord, Mass The follow
lug extract from Concord paper gives
she mets.
We regret TO announce tai. week, The
sudden death OF Mrs. Lois j., wife Of
Capt Richard Barrett which occurred
Wednesday forenoon Of this week. Mrs.
Barrett had been patient sufferer for
some months, but on The morning Of the
day OF her death she was thought TO be
much better than for some time past, aud
she prevailed upon her daughter, who
bad been her almost constant attendant,
to visit Boston for the purpose OF making
somc purchases for the family. Abont
ten O'Clock ia the forenoon visit was
made To her room, and she was found TO
be IN unusually good spirits, but about
noon the room was visited again, aud she
was found sitting in her chair, dead
Mrs Barrett was the daughter of the late
Frank Wheeler, Esq,, aud sister OF Mr..
Francis A Wheeler, Of Concord, aud
was at one time teacher ia the Concord
schools she was a most aimable woman,
and was highly esteemed 10y all for her
many virtues. She leaves husband aud
/ four children, who have the sympathy Of
all In their sad bereavement.
/ One Of our citizens has ia bis pos.
! session which we have seen, a promissory
note signed by Ethan Allen dated at Ben.
uiugton, Dec. 2lst, 1883, ninety-two years
+ ago, for twelve pounds lawful money at
six shilliugs per dollar, payable to John
/ Armstrong or order. The note was as.
signed TO one Hopkins by whom suit
was hroagh against Allen for the pay
mcut. The writ il still in existence and
appears to be IN the hand writing of Ser,
onus swift, Esq grandfather ofTheodort
and George swif Of this village. It il
signed Jonathan Brace, Justice of the
/ Peace It was served by Timothy Alb
bolt, Deputy Sheriff, Lewis Beebe, Clerk
The suit went through three terms o
court before Ethan surrendered, when
/ the court ordered defendant 10 pay thir
teen pounds, five shillings, one penny
with Costs, The cost on the back OF The
writ amounts to four pounds, fourteen
shiliugs, eight pence, making the whole
sum Ethan was obliged to pay seventeen
pounds, nineteen shillings and nine pence
Judge Brace, who signed the writ lived
in the house where Mr.. Shattuck nov
lives. He returned to Connecticut ant
became well known aud esteemed as
citizen and Judge in the courts Of hi
native state. The Rev Jonathan Brace
Of Connecticut, is his grandson. We ar
very glad to know that such old heroes a
Ethan Allen were troubled with note
coming due sud were sometimes greeted
/ by the sight Of sheriff, and that they ex
hibted proper spirit OF resentmen
( lhercat, Ethan Alien was a good fgbe
but was obliged to succumb TO the maj
esly Of the law. 4 person looking at th
note and writ would hardly surmise tha
/ they pertain 10 more distinguished per
sonsgcs than walk the earth TO day, bu
looking through mist. OF nearly a centnr.
Allen appears like some Goliah Of Gath
daring to conflict all who come IN hi
way.
