Mrs. Nancy Bagley, mother OF our
much esteemed citizen E. II. Bagley, died
at this place, Dec. 10th, in her eighty
fourth year. Her remains were taken to
West Windsor, where the funeral services
were conducted by the Rev. j II. Farms
worth. Mrs Bagley had been an invalid
for the past two years; yet in all OF
her Affections she bowed in humble sub
mission to kiss the Christening rod; for
well she knew that her Heavenly Father
did not afilict his children, but for their
good She was firm believer in the
gospel of glad tidings Of great Joy, which
shall be unto all people. When the dark
angel came, she folded her garments
about her, and sweetly fell asleep In Jesus;
blessed sleep. She has gone from among
us. and the places that knew hel on earth,
will know her no more forever, yet we
should not mourn as those who have no
hope; for well we know that all that made
her beautiful on earth has passed through
the dark valley on to the ever green banks
of that beautiful river, whose waters
sparkle like diamonds, In the rays Of Gods
eternal sunshine. We know that 1t Is
very hard from our loved ones to part,
vet we should remember that all souls are
the Lords, and at the appointed time this
corruption must put on interruption and
this mortal must put on Immortality.
Then will sorrow and signing be done
away. Then will tears be wiped from of
all faces, and God will be all and in all.

Some years ago Judge--ot Maine,
accompanied by his good and much
beloved wife, visited New York. The
Judge "put up" at "the cid tavern
down by the Battery" Before retir.
ing for the night, and while Mrs -
was co'ily tucked away between the
sheets the Judge thought he would
have good old.fashion scrubbing.
Having performed his additions to his
entire satisfaction, and scrubbed him
self until his limbs were the color Of a
fresh boiled lobster, the Judge looked
about tor some receptacle into which
he might turn the contents of his wash
bowl. There vas nothing at hand,
and rather than summon servant the
old gentleman conceived the idea OF
throwing the water out Of the win.
dow. So mounting chair the Judge
opened n little square window which
he thought likely opened into back
yard. and deliberately emptied the con.
tents of the bowl. a howl Of rage
greeted the ears Of the good Judge,
accompanied by female cries and loud
oaths from masculine voice.
"What the - are you up to y
shouted somebody. "What the -
are you prowling around at this time
O night for?" replied the Judge.
"You ought to be at home with y'r
wife and children" In point Of fact,
the poor fellow, who had good reason
to be angry, was quietly sleeping in
bed with his better half, and the little
window which the Judge had opened
was intended as a ventilator for both
rooms. The Judge had SO completely
drowned out his neighbors that they
were obliged to seek another room.

far more sensible and appropriate than the
" organs" piteous and hypocritical appeal
to democrats.
The truth is, and democrats generally
understand it so, that the republicans are
already alarmed for the safety of their
ticket; not only congressional, but county,
aud they are making pretense of cour-
age and assurance not actually felt The
third party movement is mere venture
plant gotten up by old veterans and sore
heads from the two other parties togettain
favors they have heretofore failed to
reach, movement has everything 10
gain and nothing to losei and in. their
eagerness to win they appeal wildly and
at random to every party and every per
son to come into their show, and be sol
emily sealed to their order, and duly
pledged to vote as they may be directed.
With all their figures, and with all their
brae, both the other parties stand in fear
of democratic victory. The affected de.
rision of democratic success is only the
gamblers game of bluff to conceal the
weakness Of his own hand. As we have
repeatedly said, the democracy have SCI
lected strong ticket, composed of ablt
and acceptable men, and the prospects o.
victory are decidedly better than for many
years. -e ,rs sr..Hr ..s
Democrats be true to yourselves ant
your principles. Let no vantage ground
be lost by indecision, indifference. or neg
lect; the necessities of the hour, tn
greatness of the occasion, and the pros
poets of victory, unitedly demand tina
every democrat should stand by his part,
and do his whole duty. -5 --..
