OBJ tuarY.

Died, in Andover, Jan. 9th, at the resi-
dence of her father, Stilmsn White, Mrs.
Aggie j. Ball, wife of VIM. d. Ball, of
Ludlow, aged 2s years and eleven days.
In the death of Mrs. Il. husband
mourns the irreparable loss of an affection.
ate wife, parents of beloved and only
child, and the community IN which she
moved and was best known, one of its
cherished and most worthy members. A
resident of this place of only about two
years Of the three of her married life, che
yet had impressed very large circle with
the sterling qualities of true and womanly
character. Frank and oatspokeu in her
convictions, she was always ready to iden-
tify herself with any cause that commend
ed Itself to her conscience and the dictates
of her enlightened judgment. And it was
often remarked that any cause in which
she enlisted, had the benefit of her undi-
vided labors. The blow, though not un-
expected, falls with affective severity on
her somewhat aged parents.
1t must now be pleasing thought 10 the
bereaved husband that no sacrifice was too
great Tor him to make to promote the COM
fort of his companion through her long
and trying sickness
Mrs. Il. was member and one of the
principal officers of the Eastern Star
lodge, degree connected with the Ma
sonic fraternity in this place. She was
also member of the Universalst church,
Ludlow. from which place her funeral was
attended on Wednesday afternoon, the 18th
inst.
A large number were present to testify
of the appreciation in which the deceased
was held. The members Of the Eastern
Star lodge were very largely represented
and took part in the appropriate but mourn
full exercises. The impressive service
usually held at the grave, on account of
the nclemency of the season, was per-
formed at the church Immediately after
the ordinary exercises, their appropriate
ness being only oqualed by their impress
siyeness. Bequets, vases and baskets of
rare and beautiful flowers were tastefully
distributed about the altar and the bcauti-
full casket which contained all that was
mortal Of the loved one gone.
Thus has passed away in the very bloom
of early womanhood, one, who for the
limited time she was resident of this
place. had attracted far more than ordinary
attention by her womanly and truly lady
like department.
Hard indeed it is for husband and child
less parents to be fully reconciled to their
great and lasting loss, in the death Of her
they mourn but amid the gloom which
gathers go thick around them now, they
question not that
Not In anger, not in wrath,
The reaper came that day -
Twas an angel came to earth,
That bore the lOvd away.

said, will refer to the third term agitation,

Vermont has not much reason to com-
plain of the increase Of her ordinary ex-
penditures when compared with other
states. We referred, Monday, to the case
OF New Jersey let us now look at one
item of Massachusetts, expenditures. The
expenses Of the militia for the year 1853
were SOC 1861, against s316,14S.19 in
1879, an increase OF nearly five hundred
per ceRt. In 1858, the whole ordinary cx-
misunderstanding all sal aries, debent-
ure OF the legislature, printing, interest,
reformstc-y, charitable and correctional
instl ions, militia, etc. were 81 ,027,-
OBS. SO. The expenses OF the militia alone
for the iive years, ending in and including
1875, were 81 1921 1854 IA or more than
three hundred Thousand dollars in excess
OF the entire ordinary expenditures of the
state seventeen years ago.

While the great body Of the people at
the north will agree with lii. Blaine in
what he says relative to the horrors Of An
dersonville, and will feel that jeff Davis
ought, at the time Of it. TO have been held
to some kind accountability therefor, yet
We think that the general verdict VIII be
that he has made mistake in endeavoring
TO exclude him from the benefits of am
nesty on account of real or alleged respon-
sibllity herewith The only effect of his
exclusion would be to make kind of po-
litical martyr of him, and the country
wants no martyrs of any kind this cen
tennial year. The other provision of the
b IL, requiring an appearance before an
United States court, and the taking of an
oath OF allegiance, should, as we believe it
VIII, command the assent of all. We ex-
pect, after vote on Mr.. Baine's bill as
distinct proposition, that the house will
agree upon bill extending universal am
nes,y with the requirement of an appear
ance in court and the taking OF an oath
substantially as provided in Mr.. Blaine q

How much better, how much more
sta,esmanl,ke is the plan proposed by the
secretary of the treasury for the resump-
ton of specie payments than any of the
measures proposed by such democratic
leaders as Payne, Wood, Morrison and
otbers 10 brief it is this; Paper shall
not be legal tender for debts contracted
after January /, 1871; legal tenders to be
funded in long four per cent. bonds; coin
balances in the treasury to be increased by
restoring duties ON tea and coffee and to
accumulate gold by the sale Of bonds.
Senator Morrills bill Is substantially to the
same effect-so far as the senate can ofigi-
nate measures except that paper is re-
tanned as legal tender one year longer.

PAYNE's FINANCIAL NoNpEscR1pr

At q conference of the democratic leaders
Of congress, held in Washington, Saturday
evening, at which Messrs Kerr, Randall.
Cox, Holman and others, representing all
sections of the country, were present. il
was agreed that the bull must be taken by
the horns and something done with the
financial question Accordingly, a bill was
agreed upon, which will I've introduced by
Henry B Payne of Ohio, and something
OF an effort made 10 pass it. The ,biil
provides for tie repeal of the resumption
act of January II, 1875, which fixed Jan.
uary !, 1879, as the date for resuming spe-
Gle payments that the government shall
reserve five per cent. of all specie received
from all sources for resumption fund !"
and national banks shall retain, for aim
liar fund, five per cent. of all the specie re-
celved by them from the government for
interest on bonds deposited to secure circu
lation and deposits and that specic nav
ments shall be resumed at day to be fixed

We have given the substance of the bill.
substantially as reported by telegraph, and
AS it has not, as yet, been introduced into
the house, it is exceedingly difficult to see
just what II aims at, any further than to
postpone the day of specie resumption and
endeayor to satisfy the country with pre-
tense OF doing something toward the re-
sumption of specie payments. The repeal
of the act of the last congress would leave
us all at sea again, with no definite day
fixed when the nation is pledged TO re-
sumo. The repeal would, also, carry with
II the repeal of all acts placing limit on
the issue OF legal tender treasury notes.

Mild Winters.

The mildness OF the present winter has
been universally remarked, but there are
winters that have gone on the record in y
way that establishes them as extraordinary.
The journal of Rev. Thomas Smith of
Portland, Me-, records beyond dispute SIX
remarkably warm winters within a period
of forty ycars. In 1875 January was pleas
ant and moderate and February was a
''summer month y 1888 January came in
like April; in l740 there were but two
snow storms February was summer
month again, and March the same; in 1851
Jan 10, the frost was entirely out OF the
ground, February vas like spring, and the
"winter ends a wonder through the whole I"
In 1856, in January, the fish, as they are
reported to haye done this year, "struck
in from the sea the weather being so
warm. February was delightful, and
March clustering, but soft as May. In
1913 Mr.. Smith records summer day on
January 81, wonderful moderate " the
next day, and February 8 " no snow since
December 20-wonderful weather. We
saw two robbins" In the year 1775, Feb
ruary 81 the New York Gazette and Post
Boy reports that "lsst Wednesday the
weather was so uncommon warm
that many young lads went into
the river to swim" The records of warm
winters that have come down from
the middle ages are more astounding in
proportion to their distance in time. For
example, in 1l72 the temperature was so
high in England that leaves came out on
the trees IN January, and birds Matched
their broods in February. In 1889 the
winter was equally mild, and the maidens
of Cologne wore wreaths of violets and
corn flowers at Christmas and on Twelfth
day. In l42l the trees lowered in the
month OF March, and the vines in the
month of April. Cherries ripened in the
same month, and grapes appeared in May.
In 1872 the trees were covered with leaves
in January, and the birds hatched their
young in February, as in 1172 in 1886
the Same thing was repeated, and il is
added that the corn was in the ear at
Easter. There was in France neither snow
nor frost throughout the winters of 1888,
1907, 1909, 1917, and 1869. Finally, In
1862, even in the north of Germany, the
stoves were not lighted, and trees lowered
in Febrv Coming to later dates, the
winter fS4G-7, when 1t Numbered at
Paris o. lie 2sth Of January, and that of
1865, the year of the great inundahon of
the Seine, may be mentioned rs exception
ally mild.

In connection with the present debate on
the amnesty BILL excluding Jeff Davis, it
Is interesting to recall that bill granting

of Tennessee, during the first session OF the
Forty-third congress, and passed the house
under a suspension Of the rulcs-onlY

presumably, because Ii was stated that,
under Il, jeff Davis would be Admitted to

was taken on It in the senate, il going over
on the objection OF Senator Sumner-who
stated that he was not opposed to the bill,
but desired it postponed until after the pas
sage of the civil rights billiard was not
