 Alice, daughter of H. w. and Sarah Hartwell. died on Saturday, aged one year, l Funeral attended in Congregational Church Sunday afternoon. .s s. | On Friday the friends of our revered Dr. Fowler paid their last sad tribute to his memo ry, and followed his remains to their final resting place beside those of his eldest daugh ter in our beautiful cemetery near the little brown church. At the ripe age of four score | and five, he who had dene so much ill the line of his profession to save others lives calmly and peacefully surrendered his own life, only when his labors in this world were fully done. and in the course of events, he was called upon to come up higher.
 Dr. Remus M. Fowler was born in Torring- ton in this state. Aug. 9th, 1793. He was one of a pair of twins, boasting the historic names of Romulus and Remus. He studied medicine with his brother and predecessor, Dr. Warren Fowler, at his office in this town, received his diploma at New Haven, and commenced prac- ticeJa New Marlborough in Massachusetts. On the death of his brother Warren, in 1926, he removed to this town by general request, and succeed him as physician in Judea. His practice extended from time to time until the circuit of his patients included patrons in New Milford, Roxbury, Woodbury, Bethlehem and Litchfeld South Farms, now Morris. The rec ord of his long life from that date until now is but series of triulnphs in the drudgery of his profession, for he never shirked duty however disagreeable. He was sincerely attached to | his work, and every labor connected with it sophical mind, and superior endowments by | nature, his interest in and attachment to his profession, led him speedily up to high rank | among his fellows. There is no doubt that under other circumstances and with more prosperous surroundings he would have attained, in spite l of himself great fame and high position. But he was ever a modest man, and limited his ambition to simple consciousness of his medical attainments, and the humbls practice which he assumed so early. The community
  ted his medical worth, remember him now not only for his great professional services, but al- 30 for his qualities as citizen, neighbor and friend. His social characteristics were pecul- iarly happy, and all that knew him. loved him for his geniality and the unintrusive interest he ever manifested in all with whom he had to deal.
 The concert arranged as complimentary to Dr. Fowler for Wednesday night came off strictly according to program, and was suc- cessful both as to the character of the perform ance, and the numbers who gave it their ap- preval by their presence MT. Buckingham, the conductor who so skillfully marshalled the musical forces, originated the novel idea of in- troducing singers trom Woodbury and Wash | ington without previous concert or joint re- hearsal. There was full chorus from each town, and they sang, alternately, groups of musical selections, the one performing and the other listening, the only exception to this course being the chorus of the Heavens are Telling from Haydn's oratorio of the ''Cre- ation," which Was successfully rendered by combination of the two choirs near the close of the concert. The Woedbury company -roved to be collection of pleasing singers, with rich, fresh voices, and with no little skill in the performance of their parts, for the se- lections that fell to their share were some of them quite difficult and full of rare chrOmatic composition. While all was well done, they seemed to excel in the rapid and forte style of music. Of the concerted parts, the altos es- pecially deserve mention for the rich and s,l perior quality of their voices, which added greatly to the effectiveness of the entire per formance. The vocal portion of the concert was preceded by piano duet performed by Miss Jenny Buckingham and Master Willard Seeley. .#e.....r rafHsu

 Your correspondent has been greatly sur prised to see in your paper of last week pos-~ itive denial of the principal facts as stated in my criticism of the Shepaug railroad manage ment the week before, over theI signature of Supt Platt himself. If he will take the trouble to inquire of your correspondent e." in the same paper, he will find the proof of what I stated, in telegraphic reply to question ad- dressed to the Washington station agent the very day of the incident complained of. The real explanation of the mistake of Supt. Platt in the matter is that his is divided authority.
