Death of Capt. HI. b. HawIey.

Intelligence has been received of the
death of Captain H. B. Hawley, formerly of
the town of Milford, the sad event occurring
at his home at San Leandro, California,
Sunday morning. Nov. 4th, 1877. The de.
ceased was q years of age, having been
born in Albany, New York, in the year
1905. In his early years Capt. Hawley was
a seafaring man and had made voyages to
nearly all tue principal countries of the
Globe. He came west in 1912 and pur-
chased farm in The town of Milford on
which he continued to reside until going to
California four years ago. He removed to
California principally on account of his
health which was failing him. We believe
Capt. Hawley retained the ownership of his
Milford farm up to the time of his death
aud it thus becomes part of the estate left to
his wife and three children that survive him.
His only children we believe are two
daughters, the eldest, Mrs. Homer Hoyt,
and the other unmarried. living with her
mother. The news of Capt. Hawley's death
will be learned with regret by a wide circle
of friends and acquaintance and especially
By the old pioneers of Jefferson county. He
was gentleman of more than ordinary in
telligence possessed of pleasant genial man.
ners and highly popular with all who shared
his friendship. Thus one by one the old
pioneers leave US to meet their reward in
the world beyond. Soon they will all be
gathered to their fathers and the story of
their eventful lives will sound to us who
survive them like romance and fiction.

The County.

At the present writing judging from the
returns received the Democratic majority in
Jefferson county will be about $50, against
1850 one year ago. 1t is with much pleas
ure that we announce the election OF Mr..
). y. Bullock, Republican, to the Assembly
from the I'd District of Jefferson county by
majority OF 400. Mr.. Bullock carried
Pennington by rousing majority and was
ahead Of his ticket in all other parts of the
district. In the Sd Assembly District we
have hopes of the election of Mr.. Power. the
Republican nominee, thus insuring two Re.
publican members and one Democratic from
the county.

promote vigorous health.
AYERS Pulls have been known for
more than quarter of a century, and have
obtained worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assi1nilative organs Of the
body, and are SO composed that obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffied the best of
human skill. While they produce power
full effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. By
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not infamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

Miss Jane Com bs.

This renowned actress appears at Turner
Hall Saturday evening, November 18th, in
Shakspeares celebrated play of Romeo and
Juliet, Miss Combs taking the part of Juliet.
Miss Combs is supported by a magnificent
company and performance of the highest
order may be expected. Miss Combs is one
of the greatest artists now on the stage and
her appearance in Watertown should call
out full house. We take pleasure in pub
l,shing the following notice of Miss Combs
and her troupe in the play of Romeo and
Juliet from the St. Louis Democrat:
ROMEO AND JULIEr.-It is within bounds
to say that Romeo and Juliet" is the most
beautiful loye-poem in existence, but from
its very nature it seems rather fitted for the
closet than the stage. Not that there are
not abundant and most romantic effects In
it, but, its obstacles and divine sorrows
seem to be profaned when they are spoken
and presented to the common gaze So
much higher, then, the triumph which that
artist achieves who, essaying the great role
of Juliet, so truly succeeds 10 that one touch
of nature which makes the whole world kin,
as to lay bare the sweetest emotions of the
human heart, that shun all display without
shocking the sensibilities of the audience.
1t is the crucial test, and to meet its require
ments is to conquer the chief difficulties OF
the Shakespearean drama. The Juliet Of
that great master is the ideal conception Of
love. How shall we ftly accord to Miss
Combs proper honor for bringing before our
very gaze that surprisingly beautiful, brave
impassioned Juliet in the balcony, the
chamber, and the tomb. Honor to the ge.
