Miss Cora Augusta Case, daughter Of Mr.
Bolivar Case and Mrs. Celestia A. Case,
was suddenly called to leave bereaved pa
rents and friends and pass over to enjoy
the sweet communion of loved ones on the
fowery banks of eternity's shore. Although
but twenty years of age she was ripe
scholar and an experienced and success
full teacher. Careful and persevering aP-
plication and constant anxiety for success
in her calling having superindueed the di-
sease which terminated her earthly career.
At the funeral the Rev. Beardsley made a
few brief but truly eloquent and feeling re-
marks after which one of the largest con-
courses of sincere and mourning friends
ever assembled in this vicinity followed to
the grave, among which was great many
of Corl's pupils, each bearing beautiful boz
ouets, which each tearfully and sadly
dropped into that windowless place of rest,
containing one of earth's loveliest flowers.
Cora is gone, but we will not mourn for her
as those having no hope, for we'll me know
that her spirit will still mingle with our
own, and that she will finally guide the
spirits of loved ones over to the land OF
beauty on Eternity's shore.

Eds 1et.-The commodious COngrega-

listened with the closest attention to an in

present and added to the interest of the
occasion by their excellent music.
The late rains have made our fields look
green and fresh again, but fall feed will
probably be poor. Only small number
of cheese are made generally at our facto-

good. Fruit is generally scarce with US,
and the quality inferior. A large portion
of our grain has been threshed, showing a
good product. The crop of hay cut was

finely, but has been so badly twisted about

The Republican tickets placed in nomi-

The excitement of last fall and winter was

of perfumery fancy articles, &c. Mr..

hear any noise during the night to arouse
his suspicious.
During the same night two men went to
window Of the house of Thos. Webber
near the L. S. & NJ. S. depot and struck a
match; they looked in but Immediately
withdrew saying: ''They are awake here. >
Later IN the night Miss Webber was arous-
ed from her slumbers and discovered a man
''gOing through her trunk. She sprang
upon him. and he dragged her into the yard,
striking her with his fists. Her father hear
ing her cries came to her assistance and
brought the fellow into the house where
they interviewed him, but finally allowed
him to depart. The next morning they
found a clothes brush, puff box, and bot
tie Of perfumery on the ground where the
scuffle took place. During the day Miss
Webber heard of the burglary at the drug
store and told Mr.. Knapp of the articles
found in her yard.
The result was warrant was issued and
the fellow was arrested. at the harbor last
Wednesday morning. He gave his name
as Thos. Burk and is sailor by occupation.

Eds. Tel.-In your last issue you speak
of certain parties in this town who had
been detected in transferring milk from
their neighbors' cans to their own while in
transit TO the factory. The names of the
parties charged with this offense are David
Knapp, Morrison Smith and Soreno Smith.
The two latter married daughters of the
first named. A settlement has been eff
feeted by the payment to the injured par
ties the sum of S15O-$5O each, and their
milk routes were taken from them. We
are informed that on the delivery of the
milk of one of the parties at the factory,
on the morning after his surrender of the
route, it fell short of former weights, 60
pounds, with an addition of three per cent.
Of water. Mr.. Knapp has had the reputa-
ton Of being an honest, upright citizen.
We learn that one of the parties who had
his milk stolen, on seeing the team stop at
long distance from him, sighted across
his globe rifle, and brought the parties neal
enough to see the teamsters replenish hi:
can from that belonging to the owner Of
the rifle. ~ e ~.
