Mr.. Daniel James was buried from

She has, however, borne it all with a

to suffer all the ills that flesh is heir to,
feeling sure that they only served to
render her better fitted for the better
life beyond the dark river of death. She
made an open profession of the religion
of the cross nearly two years since, and
joined the Methodist church. Since
then she has been walking by faith in
Christ, willing at any time TO be absent
from the flesh and be present with the
Lord, still able to say, "not my will but
thine, o Lord" She was daughter of
Capt. William Sampson, formerly of
this town, now of st. Lawrence county,
n. Y. He was present at the funeral
services.

Deacon O. II. Bascom was the
delegate from the Orwell Congregational
church TO the council at Vergenncs,
last Wednesday.
The East Orwell cheese factory
company, having became displeased
with their manager, last season, dis
placed him and gave the position TO
another man, who came into possession
of the premises after his predecessor
left. A few days ago he spaded up his
garden and found buried there eigh-
teen large cheeses. The company issued
papers for the arrest their former UNI
faithful steward. -
VIM. Lorenzo Phelps died on Friday
morning at his residence, very sudden
ny, probably with an attack of apoplexy.
He was at Brandon the day before, and
remarked to friends there that he never
was better in his life. On the morning
of his death he went through with his
usual care of his stock at the barn, milk
ed his cows, ate his breakfast, and had
gone again to the barn to complete his
unfinished chores before entering on the
work of the day. A neighbor passed
and exchanged SITUATIONS with him,
and on returning a few minutes later
saw him trying to steady himself
against the barn. lie notified the FAM
lily, and with the aid of his son-in-law,
Mr.. Bowker, they assisted him into the
house and on to the bed. After reclin-
ing on the bed he said distinctly, ~
think am going to die" and in a mo-
ment he was not, for God took him.
DR.. Plat, of Shoreham, passing by, was
called in, but to no purpose, he was
dead. Mr.. Phelps, in his religious life,
was formerly member of the Baptist
church, but since the disorganization of
that body in town he has worshipped
with the Congregational church. lie
was a great Bible student, ready
thinker, and in both natural and acquir-
ed ability stood far above the mediocrity
of man. On all moral questions touch
| ing svvial life nc was 10 be found on
the right side. A friend of education,
of temperance, of sobriety, his counsels
will be missed by many a young man
who has received instruction and inspi-
ration from his lips. Genial in spirit,
kind and tender in sympathy, he won
to himselfa large circle of friends whose
presence at his funeral testified to the
esteem in which he was held. OF him
it can be truly said, he had not an enemy
in the world. Relations were present
at his funeral from Hampton, Fairha.
ven, Brandon, Leicester, New Haven
as well as from the surrounding towns
The religious services were at the house
conducted by Rev. M. l.. Severance
He leaves a wife and two daughters
Mrs. c. III. Bowker and Miss Ann j
Phelps, to whom his loss is irreparable
lie was at the same time father and
companion of his children, and in his
sympathy and counsels none ever cal
take his place. The family to which
Mr.. Phelps belonged was descended
from the Rev. Elnathan Phelps, the frs
settled minister in the town of Orwell
and the founder of the Baptist church
Four of the brothers and one of the
sisters survive him, one of whom still
lives in town to perpetuate the name O.
! the reverend grandsire.
