MANTUA.
Correspondence.

Sixty-two years ago Elias Carlton

fled with his rocky and sterile home in
Stafford, Ct, turned his steps west.
ward toward the land Of promise, New
Connecticut, and settled in Mantua.
At ripe old age, that hardy and in
dustrious couple of our early pioneers
passed on to their reward, and last
Monday, May 10, that daughter, hav-
ing reached the advanced age of 66
years, also bid adieu to the. varied
scenes of earth life, and departed, to
join her loyed ones in the life beyond.
at the age of 10 she was united In
marriage with Silas u. Whitney, who
with her two daughters, Julia and
Oliye, survive TO mourn the departure
of faithful wife and affectioaate
mother. For the last sixteen years
she has been sn Invalid, almost help
less, at the home of her daughter
Julia, (Mrs. Chamberlain) in Hiram,
whore, during aifz those -loug and
weary years, she has been 4he recipient
of the most untlring care and atten
tion.' On Thursday her remains were
deposited in the family vault at the
Rapids, after which q beautiful and
appropriate discourse was delivered
in the little church there, by q. p.
Kellogg prefaced by some excellent
remarks by ID. M. King. The speaker
dwelt upon the beautiful faith that is
born of a knowledge OF natures in
evitable laws, making the transition
called death appear as an angel of
mercy, benificent aud kind, and thus
affording that rational consolation
which is needed in ali cases, when cur
friends precede US to the land immor-
tai.
That missing s'Two Hundred" which
was not deposited d in Bank last week,
causing the owner thereof such ankle
ty and solicitude, was. found safely
stored away, just where he himself had
placed il. Result-and equaiized cir
culation, aud q happy and contented
frame of mind.
Our citizens generally approve the
decision reached last week in our
Common Pleas Court, in the case of
Wlnchell va Frost. Such persistent
and expensive litigation in a case of
this nature. does not promote the. ends
Of justice or add to the peace and har-
mony Of nsighborhoods or society
generally.
Circumstances being noso more fa-
vorable, the Singing Class of winter,
under the tuition of F. F. Plum, will
give their long expected Concert, on
Saturday evening next, in the: Disciple
Church at the Center. From the well
known ability of Prof. Plum as q
teacher and leader, rich and rare
treat is confidently anticipated-es-
pscialIy as at that time, assistance will
be given and choice selections of in
strumental music rendered by several
splendid performers. The names of
Miss Emma Burnett, Geo. .-Striker and
Dell skiuasr need only bs mdltioned
in this connection.
That precious pair of swindlers with
brace iewelrxssad cheap cutlery, did
not succeed n striking many r,ch
veins, in their prospecting through
our town last week. Their oily and
lying tongues worked too glibly, and
betrayed the imposter SO plainly, that
the mine, though industriously work.
ed, yielded poor-return. Look out
for them elsewhere. XEkIrAs.

The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1879-01-23

The debt of Memphis is S4, 40, 600,
and her nominal assets 1855, 245.
If compromised at fifty cents on the
dollar, Mayor Flippin thinks the debt
can be managed. Representative
Hanson and Senator Smith of Shelby
county. have introduced bills, first,
abrOgating the city charter, the Sec
ond for a government by commission
ers and legislative council whose
Jurisdiction shall extend to the pres
ent corporate limits Of Memphis,
which shall lie known as a taxing dis
trict, and within which all the bene-
fits that are now or that could at any
time be enjoyed Ivy the people shall
insure them. The Appeal says: The
rate of taxation determined upon by
the trainers of these bills, and which
is likely to he adop:ed by the legisla
ture, comprises eighteen cents on the
500 for the support of the po-
lice, and fifteen cents for the fire de-
partment, ten cents for lights, eight
cents for schools, and fifty cents for
sanitary purposes, sewerage, and the
pavement and repairs of streets. The
Wharfage is, at present, to be applied
to repairing and paving the levee, a
poll-tax of one dollar, and the United
States Marine fund to the support OF
the hospital, aud privilege tax to
sanitary purpose, the repair of streets
and the construction and maintenance
of a system of sewerage. All money
derived frorf fines and forfeitures,
market rents and inspection fees, shall
be paid over to the county trustee
who is empowered to collect all taxes,
but without any compensation add
tional to that paid him ny the county
to be held by him for the payment
of the salaries of the commissioners,
engineer, printing, sanitary and other
expenses. We sincerely wish this
burdened and unfortunate city will
find relief from the dangers which
environ it.
