MBs GEORGE W WILDER Mrs Maria A.,
wife of George W Wilder, died in this village, on
the sth instant, Of heart disease resulting in par
alysis, aged forty-six years. 1t is painful to re-
cord the death of those we love- but when death
comes to bring release from severe and long con-
| tnued suffering that can be obtained only by the
giving mp Of life, then must we regard IL rs n
benefcence and yield submission which Is not
without grateful trust that all is well Mrs
Wilder whose death Is thus recorded to-day, has
been for years an extreme and almost constant
sufferer from valvuar affection of the heart,
often, apparently at deaths door, then rallyiup
slightly, to struggle again with the er-ganng
disease. During the last autumn a most welcome
respite was given her, and she was able to ride
and drive around our streets, and so much better
did she seem to be that her many friends planned
visit to herself and husband, on the twenty.fflh
anniversary Of their marriage, occurring on the
18th of January. just before the day came, she
was again Frustrated, and to the usual suffering
that Of pneumonia added. With q wonder
full tenacity of life, her system seemed to react
and she hoped soon 't to be as well as before"
Hardly daring 10 hope so much some Of her
friends thought it not best to wait for fuller
covery, and chose accordingly to manifest their
love and good wishes by sending her valuable and
appropriate presents consisting of silver pitcher
and china tea service that must have been spe-
cially designed for the convenience of an invalid
Other gifts, equally useful and delicate were be-
slowed, and all was received with genuine graft
tude, finding expression only through flowing tears,
But while deceived by the apparent improve
ment, life peary over aud at last on the |

MARsHFIELD. Remember the agricultural meet
ing this week Thursday and Friday, and also
remember that those from distance must be en-
tertaned free OF charge. The Methodist church
members have met and started a paper with about
two thousand dollars signed on it for new church
to fill the place of the recently burnt; they
have to obtain it all by subscription, as there was
no insurance. 1t was quite a loss to the place as
well AS to the church; they were not feeling very
wealthy these times and thought it was all they
could do to support their pastor, but they have
an energetic man To go ahead and we are in hopes
to see a new and better church with vestry ON
the old ground .. Mr. William g. Haskins was
found dead in bed Thursday morning. He was an
exceedingly bright man and of kindly disposition
and pleasant social qualities. Mr.. Haskns leaves
many friend to mourn him, especially those poor
men who now and then want to borrOiC a dollar
or two. His wife and children have the sympath,
of all. Charlie Parks is slowly recovering, hav-
ing had the diphthera; fourteen weeks since he
frat confined to the house, but even now he
cannot go without help. The Universalisl
society held festival last week, and had a large
gathering; after paying all expenses they had
fifty dollars left. At regular meeting OF La

goodly number from the different lodges in the
county will be present. The Central Associa-
