OBITUARY.

Mrs. Harriet A. Brewster died at Danbury, Conn.,, on the 30th of March last, in her 18th
 year. She was .. native of New Preston, in
 this county, and was the oldest of the children of Nathaniel P. and Mary (Whittlesey) Averill, who, from 1902 to 1857 resided ill Salisbury, in the Weatogue district. Their hospitable home
 was situated on the Sheffield road, about three quarters of 6 mile northwest of Dutcher's
 bridge. Mrs. Brewster had resided at Dan bury with her son, Lyman Brewster, since !o63, and special car with her Danbury friends came up the Housatonic railroad to
 Canaan that they might attend the burial at Salisbury on April 2nd. Mrs. Brewster had a large number of friends in this vicinity, and had been accustomed to revisit her old home l almost every year. From Che time she was
 seventeen years of age until the time of her marriage with Captain Daniel Brewster of Sal 1 lsbury, ln 1881, she was favorite teacher and taugnt nearly every year, keeping school in Canaan, Sheffield and New Marlborough. The attachment of many of her pupils to her was n1e-long and was 8 source of great pleasure to
 ner, and her interest in the survivors (for she outhved most of her scholars) continued una ! bated to the day of her death. Her health, for one of her advanced years, had been excellent untu the beginning of this year, and her fac 4lles were remarkably unimpaircd, so that Af-
 ter her ooth birthday her hearing and sight l were almost as perfect as ever, and her mental
 power such, that she was still the chief reader
 ana writer of her family, regularly correspond
 Ing with a large circle of friends. Few of any age spent week at the Centennial Expoaition With more relish or more instruction. In the
 second week of January she was prostrated by
 fever of typhoidal cast, and although she seemed perfectly cured of the disease by the middle Of February, it left her so feeble that she vas unable to recover strength or to rally
 again with her woRted resolution. She grad
 ually failed from week to week, until, on the
 morning of Saturday, the 3Oth of March she
 gently fell asleep. The funeral services at her house, conducted by her pastor, Rev. J. J. Hoqgh, were exceedingly appropriate Some of her young friends of the village choir sang two of her favorite hymns, "Oh Mother dear Jerusalem" and Jesus lover of my soul" The pastor read selections from the 7th, 14th and Fist chapters of the book of Revelations (which had been her own chosen funeral service), and spoke feelingly of his Christian fellowship with one so full of faith and so ripe for heaven. Of the families of Averill, Whittlesey and Brew ster, formerly so numerous in Salisbury, and of which the deceased was one of the oldest
 members, not single one of the name now
 resides in the old town. We have partially gathered the above facts through the step soa of Mrs. Brewster, Mir. T. D. Brewster of Peru, Ills, who came on from his far western home
 to attend the funeral of one to whom he had ] always been as an own son.

How It Rains I'm California.

At San Jose, Cal, 8 storm came up in the af-
 ternoon of Wednesday, April 3rd. The first in- dication of it's coming was noticed in insignif- cant lightning flashes and gathering darkness in the sky to the southward. The storm ap- preached with unparalleled swiftness, the flashes growing so frequent as to be corusca- tion of fire, and twenty minutes after the first cloud speck was observed the sky was entirely overcast and the thunder one continuous rum ble. Just then few scattering balls of hail, averaging the size of marbles, told what was coming, and before equestrians and drivers could get under cover the hail descended with a rush, and for few minutes the scene was indescribable. Every one hurried to shelter.
 Tho rattle of the hail-stones was deafening. They averaged between thres-eighths and one inch in diameter The fall lasted about twelve minutes and was followed by 8 heavy rain for
 about i've inmates. During that time the street gutters were filled to level with the sidewalks and in many places these were food ed. In the office of the telegraph company the fire danced about the instruments until it was deemed necessary to detach the wires for safe ty. The storm was so sudden that many of the water pipes were bursted. The water pipes were choked and the water backed and stood several inches deep on some flat roofs. It is that the storm has caused a great deal of damage to the fruit and strawberry crops. It is also believed that much of the advanced heavy grain has been beaten down.

When Thomas drove up to 8 house on Eliza beth street yesterday to deliver the usual quart of mixture, the gentleman of the house kindly enquired:
 Thomas, how many quarts of milk do you deliver?
 'Ninety-one, sir"
 "And how many COWS have you?"
 ''Nine, sir"
 The gentleman made some remarks about an early spring, close of the Eastern war and the state of the roads, and then asked:
 "Say, Thomas, how much milk per day do your COWS ayerage?"
 Seven quarts, sir.''
 "Ah-um,' said the gentleman as he moved off. Thomas looked after him, scratched his head, and all at once he pulled out short pencil and began to figure on the wagon cover.
 Mine COWS is nine, and I set seven quarts down under the COWS and multiply. That's sixtythree quarts of milk. told him sold ninety-one quarts per day. Sixty-three from ninety-one leaves twenty-eight, and none to carry. Now, where do get the rest of the milk?

CLIMATIC CALcULATIoNs.-We read that in the year 1857, after variable weather in March and April, in the latter month there was a tre- mendous snow storm in this State, at least four feet of snow falling at various points. The storm extended to Pennsylvania, New Jer- sey and Massachusetts. In Boston, New York, Port Jervis, Poughkeepsie, Pottsville, Phila- delphia and Trenton the depth of snow was three feet, in Franklin, this State, four feet and in Paris, Va., one foot. Snow fell without intermission during twenty-four hours and was followed by binding storm of wind and hail, which caused great injury to shipping along tke coast. A similar storm has been pre- dicted for April of this year. Dr. Falb, Chil- ian meteorologist, announced last December that great atmospheric disturbances were to be expected from the 18th to tho 18th of March and from the 18th to the 18th of April, possibly two days previous to those dates. He predict ed that on the mountains of Europe and the United States there would be snow in April and also between the 26th and 18th of August.

that ne naQ SnOL nOtnlnS, Lynenan play fully told him that he did not believe he could hit anything with that gun. whereup. on Knickerbocker, not knowing there was another cartridge in the chamber of the weapon, raised the hammer, saying at the 1 time, Cant eh ?" and snapped it, and the piece was discharged, sending ball into the body of Lynehan, who instantly clapped bis hands to his breast and fell to the grnuud. He was helped into the house by Kulckerhockcr and Frank Barnum, who happened to be near at the time, and physl. clans sent for. Dr. Camp of this place was soon at the bed side of the wounded man, and Dr. Welch of Norfolk and Dr. Averill of Falls Village were telegraphed for and arrived early in the evening. An examina. ton found that the ball had entered about two inches below the left arm pit, passed through the left lung, barely escaping the heart, and passed out under the right shoul. der blade. At this writing, (Tuesday even, ing, 8 o'clock), the patient is very low, and the gravest fears are entertained of his re. coyery.
 Certain it is most distressing accident. Lynehan is young man about IS years of 1 age, and the two were intimate friends, and none can suspect for moment there was any intention of injury on the part of Knickerbocker. One lesson at least is taught by this accident, but it is an old lesson and ought long ago to be better learned than it now is, and that is : it is aeUer safe to point gun at a person, let the condition of the gun be what it may.
 LATER. "Wednesday noon: There is no great change in the condition of the young man, Lynehan, and until the reac- tion occurs, it cannot be determined what the result may be. -.....

Gov. Fremont.
TO be continued

His stay in San Francisco is expected to
last about two weeks. He will take up
his qua,te in Prescott, and will make
but few changes among the officeholders
of Arizona. He will pursue resofute
course with the Indians, With whom his
frontier army career has made him con-
versant, especially with the Pimas and
Apaches of eastern Arizona. While care
fully avoiding interference with the Fedc-
raj authorities, he will protect life and
property as far as possible. In regard to
the railroad question:, which has become
very serious in Arizona, he is reticent,
merely saying that his policy will be to
encourage any enterprise which will build
up the Territory, which, he thinks, has
marvellous mining interests awaiting de-
velopment. He says that the Atchison
Topeka and Santa Fe railroad has pleiity
of means, and will push work forward as
fast as possible. The Southern Pacific is
already across the Colorado river, and be-
fore long Arizona will have plenty of rail
communication with the world to the east
and TO the west-Post

What Bavis said.

In apublic speech at blackberry,
referring to the session of Cu1
Legislature of which WooIsey,
Campbell and he were members,
Mr.. Davis said that Woolsey
voted against our Free School
System from first to last; that both
Woofsey and Campbell voted
against the compulsory education
bill; that Wooisey voted for Judge
Dunn's bill to- divide the school
fund among the Churches, and
that Stevens worked for it in the
lobby.
Both Campbell and Woolsey
want to go to Congress. Perhaps
they are afraid the children of
Arizona may grow up to know
more than they do.

tie Dome miner has ever lost CON
fidence in the bottom of his mine
but his shaft has usually been
deeper than his purse. A result
of the success of the Arkansaw "
works will be to enable miners to
obtain money and supplies for de-
velOping their ground.
Castle Dome district is almost a
network of veins of fuor spar,
| (1uOrate Of limeO which carry
lunches Of galena; none Of these,
though many of them are quite
large and snowy, has ever proved
of much value. Through this
network there cut a number of
ledges, or belts, nearly parallel to
each other, that carry theit ga
lena in seams or sheets; every one
of these has repaid labor. One of
them, the Buckeye; has been lo@
Gated and worked for several
miles; the old Nagle mines are
on another; the Flora Temple is
on one; and so is the Arkansaw.
The width of none of these belts
has ever been determined; Cross
cutting is a process against which
Castle Dome miners seem to have
set their faces; they find large
smooth surfaces, usually of sill
cious limestCneS, plastered with
clay or tale, and persist in refus-
ing to prick through such beau
tiful walls;" although the coun-
try rocks are slate and granite.
Two years and a half ago an acci-
dent (the "HOo-doo stick" "( dis
closed fine sheets of galena on
the Flora Temple, south of Gun
theirs house, over twenty feet
east OF a beautiful hanging
WALL" three weeks ago the heavy
rains caved q "beautiful foot
WALL" also south of the house;
and disclosed a tenSinch sheet Of
galena, fully fifteen feet west of
the old works. The same rains
also caved the hanging wal" "
of the Buckeye, in the arroyo
south of Miller's house and north
Of the old Spann shaft, and dis
closed galena again, several feet
to the west. Last Summer heavy
rains caved the Flora Temple, |

ought to induce Castle Dome
